Did Machinist just get nerfed?

I'm just not privvy to call it the End of Days for our job.

I would say it's the Reduction of Fun. I can support this with how ever many ways is necessary.

I'm not topping the enmity list behind the tanks, but I'm certainly not dead last.

I've never been dead last. Performing at the 85-90 range I'm either first or second. When playing with my FC I can happily be 3rd. My output may mathematically needed tweaking and I would be fine with tweaking. What I'm not fine with is the last bit of flavor being sucked out of the job. Now it's arbitrarily button presses. The job gauge might as well not exist and should instead be a static buff that says overheat for all that the heat gauge matters. What's more there should never really have been a lull/stop gap anyways with how it was before if you performed well enough. And that's the thing. The smaller nuances don't feel as present. I don't know man. I just dislike it.
