Machinist & Dragoon Combo

[yumeyume]

Recently a lot of high rank teams are going in as Pld/War, Whm, Drg, and Mch. The burst for DRG & MCH is crazy. Most teams now are going with that composition instead of other classes. What do you guys think?

As of the patch update..mch (imo at least) seems to have gotten significantly more dangerous. Even under heavy pressure..mch can now unload a full burst (since penalty 15 yalms and under is no longer a factor with gauss up) Can see the logic. ...now if we can just get a pvp-onry skill for brds that removes the WM casting penalty for just 10 seconds >_>

Definitely agree. Burst is unhealable with this comp at the moment.

I should try my mch in there. Just don't know it like my other classes. So mch is better now?

MCH has always been strong in arena, even WD. It was just insanely overshadowed by SMN because of how OP they were.

Right now their Between the Eyes can crit for 6k+. Insane for an oGCD instant cast ranged move.

I've only done a handful of party games as a WAR/SCH/MCH/DRG. Although the DRG attests to not being able to get any hits before our first target die,; it's usually the result of a full+brutal swing and a buffed BtE, and a fell cleave. It's like any other burst; it's usually not lethal unless coordinated with someone else. BRD and certainly SMN still have access to similar bursts on a relatively same cooldown (empyreal barrage being 660 potency before any modifiers)

Yeah this comp is crazy. Drg grabs off buff and mch grabs def buff. No good targets because the pld will cover for the drg. Whm will spam sleep while the mch just unloads his crazy burst with disembowel and litany to buff it.

I wonder how it would look when doing mirror comp and both teams are equally good/uses same strat :P

I'm loving the updates now teams are more varied. everything is viable jus play good.

This setup is nowhere near as fearsome as a blm + whm combo now if both players are skilled.
