How I would have designed MCH

[Krissey]

I would have given them the opposite of Wanderer's Minuet. I would have given them a constant barraging auto attack in a similar stance, but it would reduce all damage by like 30% to account for the constant stream of auto attacks. I would also have made it reduces cooldowns and/or increase attack speed to get a machine gun/gatling gun feel.

That way, when you're in those positions where it's safe to stop moving and you can really plant yourself, you can pop burst CD's like Blood for Blood and really see the damage pour out.

The concept here would be to capture two ideals: The Bard is the sniper who sets up and takes long, deliberate shots for big crits. For players who love the big numbers on single target strikes this would be their ideal. Long windup, release then a big, nice crit or hit.

The Machinist would feel the exact opposite. Stacking speed it would go for several smaller hits that all add up to big damage, especially the longer the fight goes. However, because it gives better overall damage it is necessary to make a large debuff to even it out so it's not extremely far ahead.

Cool idea in concept. Not so cool when you factor in TP.

Still, I like the idea of it.

Remove gauss barrel, change rapid fire to being a stance that disminuye your damage output 20% but changes your GCD to 1.5 and disminuye your TP cost 40%

It could be fun to have a "fast" class, but I don't think that SE would like it; controller users could find insane to use that class

I always saw the MCH as the Sniper/Engineer instead which is why I went with it. The full auto guys always turned me off.

Auto Attacks don't cost TP do they?

You don't just use auto attacks, do you?

That would be neat actually if the details were panned out properly. but what you really gets points for is that RWBY gif. Loved that show so much.

SE, I was hoping Gauss Barrel would turn my weapon into a big ass gun! Not some twirling crappy gizmo!

Well obviously if I were a game designer I would have the team to design it with every intricate detail, parses, math, and be able to do it properly.

Since I'm not, all I have are ideas. Which aren't worth anything.
