Thread: 4.0 MCH is Weak

Things were taking far, FAR too long to die, even with perfect rotations on weaving in quick/reload to maximize procs.

Also, trying to keep heat at 50-99 for the rotation sounds like more of a PITA than I want to deal with, and certainly isn't justified by the class' DPS output. I can only imagine what trying to maintain 50-99 in the middle of insane raid AoE and rapid target switching is going to be like...

After leveling MCH, I switched over to ROG which I had at 29, unlocked NIN and noticed that shit drops SOOOO much faster than it did for MCH. I know there must be SOME compensation for being a ranged DPS, but I can probably kill ~2-3 mobs on NIN in the time it takes me to kill ONE as MCH.

This class needs HELP, badly...

I'm just going to tell you that any judgement of a classes DPS before max level isn't exactly sound judgement. Even with MCH being the top DPS in 3.x it was still one of the weaker DPS before 60.

Yes MCH is weak at the launch of this xpac, but that can be tuned up with Hot Shot % and a few other tweaks, it's not this giant project or travesty.
