So, what's with the lack of Machinist in DF?

2 words, gauss barrel. I loved that class until they gave us gauss barrel. I've had a lot of fun playing it in Crystal tower this past week.

Actually, I've been playing casting classes since the release of ARR, so wanderer's minuet and gauss barrel don't bother me. In fact I feel right at home with wanderer's minuet turned on (don't know about gauss barrel, yet). But I do see the problem with both jobs, and how the abilities drastically changes them.
