Thread: Machinist extinction in 4.0?

The main thing here, from what the OP mentioned, is that MCH is the least played DPS by 4%. There's a reason for it. If you don't like simplicity, you can aim for complex. But then at some point, complex devolves into convoluted.

There's a giant gap in dps between a casual MCH and a good MCH. The majority of MCH's I've seen, aren't any good. But explaining the job to a casual player isn't so easy. My friend, who is not casual in the least but hated BRD and ended up liking MCH, kept asking me what MCH's rotation was, and I had to tell him over and over that it doesn't work off a rotation, rather, a priority system. It took him till the end of lvl 50's to truly realize what I meant.

Anyway, my main point is if they want more people to play MCH then yes, they need to make it more appealing. If that involves "simplifying" the job, I'd, personally, be fine with that. But they also need to make it visually appealing as well. NIN, MNK and DRG are pretty stylish. While a MCH sits there, goes pew-pew and just snaps their spine. :V
