    Makes me sad to hear people referring to MCH as an "abomination". The class has its flaws, but so does every other one. My main knit pick is that MCH doesn't give any semblance to it's full fruition until you are actually 60, which I feel staves away players and causes the stigma that we have. A lot of the people who complain about the class as a whole don't seem to have the class at 60 most of the time when I lodestone them.

    I can pick off a few QOL and visual changes I'd like to see, but other than that MCH is fun and rewarding for those who give it the chance, imo.

    Are there people actually going out of their way to call the job an abomination? If they are I am not seeing it, neither on forums or in game. It is the least played job, but it does not mean it is bad.

    Abomination would be an exaggeration. I don't like how MCH (or BRD for the matter) turned out in the expansion, but it's functional and does it's job properly. Like I said, the best way I can sum up my perspective is that it's "disappointing". MCH has their full rotation basic rotation by the time they're levle 35 with clean shot, quick reload and reload. Everything else is oGCDs and turret placements that you put down and forget, and post 50 (in a similar sense to BRD) does not get much added, although MCH has the benefit of being an entirely new job like DRK and AST, so they've had the benefit of developing their own unique gameplay/mechanics from the time you unlock it.

    And also, fun is subjective. Some people don't like the high-risk:same-reward aspect of MCH compared to BRD, while I feel that BRD is extremely clunky and slower paced compared to MCH while having the same playstyle
