Thread: MCH and Patch 4.05 or The Problem with not leaving well enough alone

I don't really think SE knows what they want MCH to be as of now.

MCH design currently focus a lot on self restraint but usually a Gun Job would not have to have self restraint when they go full gun ho on a enemy and unleash a barrage of bullets. Then there is the question of technology being the usual theme for Machinist but so far 4.0 update focus a lot on the Gun over technology.

At this point (and yes this is going to be a bitter reply) I am convinced that SE wants MCH to be the lowest DPS. Someone has to be, so MCH is it, here is your cone hat. Heck it seems that if anything has a "pet mechanic" is has to be "the lowest" regardless of how those pets play: SCH, SMN, MCH!If tanks ever get a pet tank, guaranteed it will be the lowest performer. *grumble* If we had a job unique party buff I would take this damage issue with a grain of salt, because I could say then "yeah we are at the bottom of the damage pole, but look at this shiny we bring to the party!" I wont hold my breath anymore. I will just accept the fact that I will be shunned for anything other than basic content, at least ill look damn good at the bottom of the barrel.

If SE wants a class to have the lowest dps it should be Brd instead because brd buffs makes up for it's dps, while mch utilities does not make up for it's own dps.
