Machinist Help

[popotaro]

Go in with the understanding that you will NEVER be top DPS in a proper party because you have tradeoffs to make for being ranged and for being able to extend the DPS of your party.

Good? Good. Read this guide: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...achinist-Guide

Currently the best guide to using MCH.

Also you can use Rapid Fire to more quickly switch into Gauss Barrel.

Doesn't change the fact that we need to get some buffs.

Never said it didn't, but how bad BRD/MCH is being WAY overblown.

True. We've firmly established that Machinist is in definite need of buffing and retuning (our most essential/useful skills have the longest cooldowns, and unnecessarily so). I do hope SE has taken notice of this topic and is reviewing things themselves. Word from a community rep would be nice as well. But until then, we can only use what we've got and do the best we can with it.

As it stands, I have no issue with being a more technical ranged physical job, but I'd like a bit more return on the efforts put in.

This, I agree It's not that bad, but clearly needs some tweaks
