Machinist is arguably the biggest let down of a class/job ever to me

[Meta-Flare]

First aesthetics.

The guns are ugly. Gauss barrel makes it even worse lol. I don't actually mind the ammo pouch thing tho. Its also really dumb the essentially gave us muskets that we keep on our back but we hold like a pistol. We get some stupid hybrid between the two and it looks ridiculous almost 99% of the time

I wanted a true pistol class, preferably a dual wield like merylwyb. Or an actual rifle class. Not what we got.

Play style...

I hate it so much more now. I could put up with the looks but its not even fun to play anymore, and I really dislike the mechanic. Nothing feels like it flows anymore, and is just very uninteresting to me. I think ammo should have been the primary mechanic. Not over heating. I feel like there could have been way more interesting things. On top of all that the damage is not good at all.

It just sucks because from the beginning I wanted a gun/pistol class and this is not at all what I wanted. It has cool ideas but was executed so poorly. It looks so dumb that my character has a cannon on their back half their size.

I know it will mever happen but the need to redo the entire class from the ground up to be a rifle class that has more influence from the tinkering/technology aspects, and then have the actual pistol/dual pistol class.
