Machinist need buffed

Yes, but the vulnerabilities and damage reduction share cooldown with each other, and hypercharge has the same functionality of boosting regen effects. If you hypercharged for the vulnerbility, you won't have it for boosting mp/tp regen, and vice versa.

However, it is also a 2 minute cooldown compared to Battle Voice's 5 minute cooldown which you also won't have if you need to TP/MP if you use it on Foe's.

So, I mean, if you use Hypercharge at the start of a fight to increase opening bursts, you'll have it up before anyone needs TP/MP (hopefully), whereas if you use BV to increase caster openers, you probably won't (according to people who say they bottom out of TP in 3 mins).

If you have to hold off hypercharge specifically for regens though, that's a dps hit since it's also one of your damage cooldowns. While on the other end of the spectrum, I never really used battle voice strictly for dps outside of on-pull (and I dont even do this for T13 since melee typically runs themselves out by the time the first shadow dies)
