Split Shot => Split Shot => Split Shot...

Will Stormblood lift the RNG bull**** from our Machinists\\' Split => Slug => Clean combo? I love the job but ffs (4) Split Shots in a row are happening far too often considering the supposed 50% proc. Cast time or no, I may jump ship if RNGesus is still around in Stormblood.

Dunno... they are using the same motif for RDM, though...

[Mhaeric]

I can definitely picture RNGesus giving us phases where RDM ends up doing Jolt -> Thunder -> Impact -> Air over and over without getting procs for Fire and Stone.

RNG isn't as bad as what people make it out to be on MCH, and those that believe it is may need to check their rotations. Forums will be forums.

Possibly, as from the trailer it looks like the Ammo mechanic is changing, having only 3 stacks now, and what looked to be Edit: special attacks consuming the Ammo... so yeah, between the removal of the cast time, and a hopefully far more interesting Ammo mechanic (as fun as it is telling RNGesus to get ****ed), MCH may actually be enjoyable to play (Edit: IMO).

One of the many reasons MCH is god awful.

[NovaLevossida]

I hope they get rid of the RNG on it. Spamming the first step of your combo on a melee job would be extremely boring, and that's exactly what MCH is so much of the time.

RDM will get the same love. Good luck.

People really exaggerate how heavily MCH is an RNG based job. Our damage fluctuations come from crits during wildfire, minimally from our 1-2-3 or 1-2-1 or 1-1-1.

Well it looks like the ammo mechanic is being altered to recieving 3 bullets to use on Powerful shots similar to SMN aetherflow. That would imply that you dont have the reload mechanics which help you bypass much of the RNG factor associated with your 123 combo. If they dont change that combo, it will be a lot of 11112111231112.
