I've done a few SSS kills and some Normal Omega runs with Mch and I have to say, I'm not a fan of the changes. The damage is largely the same, but the rotation feels sluggish and clunky. Even though I've found a rhythm of sorts, it's still a slog getting heat high enough to prep a wildfire combo. The whole thing is discordant. I've also personally hated ground target skills so the need to constantly resummon the turret now that overdrive is at least break even is making the whole mess feel even worse. Overheating is still worthless and I honestly find myself ignoring it all together with no apparent downside stemming from that decision.

The patch was a net loss for Machinist in my mind, undoubtedly. The fun is diminished and the dps is the same. They took the one thing about the job that was done right and ruined it. It's not wholesale awful, but it's like a clock out of sync. It doesn't feel right anymore.
