MCH buffs!

None of these changes are bad, but I'm skeptical as to whether or not this'll make Machinist as desirable as Bard. Since Machinist has a lot less utility, it should be off-set by doing more damage, and I'm not sure if this'll put them ahead.

I'm not complaining, but I do think it'll still need more.

Hotshot buff is useless for the most part. Small dps gain from being able to use another 1 2 or 3 once a minute, I do appreciate the overheat damage buff.

I'm not a fan. I liked the managing heat the most out of the new class changes.

I was actually hoping for everything going back to ten heat per shot and a small potency increase while you are in it.

Doing it the overheat for power way just makes it less unique and more like all the other classes that build up to a super form for a bit of extra damage for a while.

At least I'll kill more i guess.

So what's going to come in 4.1? Just flat out remove the heat gauge?

I was really hoping they'd go the opposite direction and kill overheat as a mechanic to focus on heat management instead, but c'est la vie. I miss the OGCD moves, too. MCH feels very locked to the GCD now, until the Wildfire window comes up, then it's overwhelmed trying to push all the OGCD cooldowns through in that short timeframe. Feels bad to me.

Still no new support skills, leaving MCH out of any consideration if you want a ranged support. Granted it should do better than before DPS wise.

I actually didn't mind the 4.0 heat that much. Just needed some number tweaking and fix to the Turret Kamikaze and Flamethrower to be atleast enjoyable.

Lol Xygoz, I know and I said the same in another topic, but you are not here enough to be aware of it, there was a recent topic were people complained that they still wanted to manage heat before 62/64 still to always have their 5% bonus and not overheating. Here is the link, so you can know I know http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...a-single-skill

Now, if you read what I wrote, you could have noticed I also said : "Even just the feeling of putting it on or off the way you want is nice, especially when you want to just train on a dummy and restart at 0 heat."
So it will be nice for that part of the game, as training is important too and there was no good reason to set the Gauss Barrel at 10sec CD.

I'm not going to go look at your past posts to understand why you said something in another topic...

"Even just the feeling of putting it on or off the way you want is nice" I don't even know what this means
"especially when you want to just train on a dummy and restart at 0 heat" I guess waiting 8 more seconds was to long.

But whatever I don't really care tbh

I guess waiting 8 more seconds was to long.

Not especially too long. I just said it's nice, don't exagerate what I said. It's not something that matters at normal and high content, but it's nicer for training.

[Heimdalgc]

Bards still way better.

This is a joke.
