I am Ilvl 308 only missing the accesorries. Right now if we play perfectly we can do comparable or maybe slightly better dps than your average BRD. The punishment for messing up ONCE in a fight is hefty, a direct contradiction from the philosophy of Stormblood in regards to the other classes they made alot of the other classes more approachable play, but MCH only got harder. In 3.0 you had wiggle room here and there for error, here if you push the wrong button at 90 heat your dps is DROPPING. The effort to reward ratio is way off in comparison to other classes like RDM (lol) and Samurai (they have a deeper/harder rotation than RDM but the damage they do is disproportionate to the effort they are putting in). MCH to me is harder to play than these classes but we need to play it perfectly to even compare to the dps of them, and I see a dps ceiling of MCH as I perfect my rotation more and more, when I know that if I played samurai or RDM I could be easily doing much more damage.
