Thread: 4.05 MCH is Weak

One of the biggest problems is that turrets do not contribute to Wildfire - autos OR Overdrive.

Go beat up a dummy and test for yourself.

all summarized up for me what they had to do was to increase hot shot (3% is a joke) and give him any kind of utility. all we got was making the class skill free and pretending like they increased dmg. you cant give us an old cow and sell it for a breeding bull. you can do better SE

This is a well known fact, it's always been this way. It really wouldn't be a problem if MCH overall dps wasn't so low. Actually I like it this way. Our turret contributes a lot to our damage already, maybe too much considering it's something that you basically place and forget about for 90% of the fight.

As for the current situation MCH is in...I wonder if tweaking CD so that heat reduction is lowered from 25 to 10-15 would work to slightly buff our dps and make the job more engaging to play because indeed we're going 1-2-3 depending on procs way too often now and heat management is uninteresting.

Oh, and they should just bring the hot shot buff to 10% already. Or they could just make OH more relevant by increasing its buff to 20%, but they probably won't do this because it would make the job too "complex" by their standards I suppose.

If Overdrive doesn't affect Wildfire, then it's a net 0 gain over just having it out. Rook dps doesn't amount to a whole lot, and the only reason to ever use Overdrive is for phase shifts. It seems like a massive oversight for the 800 Pot to not contribute to Wildfire, when the heat changes = less Cooldowns = less dps.

Correct. That's clearly the intended use of the skill.

They need to buff overheat damage badly. All the tools seem to hint that we should be overheating for every wildfire yet the damage breaks about even if we do or if we don't. Seems like super sloppy design.

Also, Overdrive may be "designed" to only be used for boss transitions but my goodness that is such unfun/boring design of a new ability to give to a class for a new expansion. HW horrible Tornado kick implementation all over gain.

Not necessarily. It can also be used if you need a little burst and it's a huge dps gain in add phases. If they made it a dps gain to use it on cd it would be just as boring (why not simply give mch a new ogcd dps skill then?) if not annoying since you have to dispatch you turret again after the penalty.

But anyway, I thing overload it the last of mch issues.

My point was not about overdrive being a dps gain or not. My point is that it is not a fun ability for a new expansion ability. I never said it should be buffed to it is used on CD. I would rather have just had a different ability altogether. With that said, I agree that it is the least of MCH abilities but I only brought it up cause others were discussing it.
