    You seem to miss the point altogether. Working harder 90% to achieve the least feels a lot worse than working at 60% to achieve the average. Given how execution heavy MCH is with their simple simple simple rotation, losing a WF in 10 minutes from doing improper wildfires will give you a rather large blow. My first clear had me just like that. While I can do up to 4k on alt roite my first clear on release was at 3.5k (actually just barely under). Try taking that 3.5k (or even 3.6-3.7k) into V3S and seeing what happens. That's a wipe to enrage. And I can guarantee you that most MCH don't play at the level to never make a mistake ever that I had to practice and practice and practice to do (mostly to compensate for the lag that I get on my weaves).


    But to help prove my point. Go do an experiment for me. Do whatever rotation you use and go beat up the V4S dummy. I can clear that rather solidly at ilvl 321. Tell me how you fare. Denying MCH out of your V3S and V4S clears isn't stupid or unfounded. It's simple math. Unless that MCH is 70th percentile he probably can't even perform well enough to destroy a V3S target dummy let alone push a clear in a final phase party. That's a 30% chance you get a MCH worth his salt or pray to god you have a godlike SAM or BLM who can make up that difference. The "out of proportion" i'm talking about is people not even taking them to something as easy as V1S and V2S for some reason.

    Which I feel like this is going to be taken wrongly so let me also add this:

    YOU, yes YOU anybody who reads this, can and should be able to clear V3S and V4S (with enough practice). So don't let it get to you if you get denied out of a party because some dweebs think you're not up to snuff. It's not because you're bad, it's just because there's a higher chance of you being the "average" mch and not the "best" mch
