MCH worth my time?

[Snugglebutt]

I was looking forward to playing MCH more than anything else with the expansion but I have put on hold any desire to start one until SE fixes them. My main is a bard which already needs fixing in terms of WM/DPS due to a combination of low WD, some poor skill design and potency issues (thankfully SE have acknowledged there is a problem but I await their attempts to fix it) so the idea of starting the other poorly balanced class aka machinist does not fill me with glee at the moment. The basic principles behind the machinist class I am fine with but when the difficulty does not match the reward in terms of class competence at a design level as opposed to player competence then there is a major problem, one that I will wait till SE fixes before starting one myself.

Is getting kicked from a group due to being a MCH even ok?

Couldn't you report someone, or would it be pointless due to fact you can't prove that is why you got kicked?

Party finder groups are actually allowed to pick and chose what DPS they take outright, so I wouldn't be shocked about kicks being dealt out being "okay".

Like literally if a PF group doing BisEX wanted to exclude machinist rather than kick they could just instead allow every DPs OTHER THAN Bard/MCH to join their group. This is something I see frequerntly.

It's worth your time.

If you truly enjoy the class then just play it. We'll probably get to see some changes before Alexander savage comes out since Alexander normal mode will be as "hard" as extreme primal. The class wont probably be left behind, but they need actual data to see the weight of a machinist/bard in a 8 man group.

I don't see why it's low dmg. It should be lower only when using tp or mp regen, which it does anyway due to the turret stopping damage.
