[MCH] Why does Gauss Barrel exist?

[Tropa]

I feel the same way about Hot Shot, why is it even there still? it's such a boring ability.

I used to main MCH back in HW, loved it, but it's just a mess to me in stormblood.

Hello no. That was what was advertised of mch when it was unveiled : multiple attachment for different purposes.

However in never made it to live...

I really, really want different barrel attachments for MCH, even if it's just two or even three, one for AoE skills and one for single target, I'd fall in love with the system regardless.


I wish they'd give more attention to turrets tbh, they're still pretty set-and-forget.

Same. MCH was my main in HW. I guess technically I mained it in SB too. But now that its at 70, I don't like playing it anymore. Its just...not the same. I wish we'd get different turrets. I keep liking the idea of having one or two turrets that somehow help your entire party...increasing enemy vulnerability or increasing defense or something. I dunno. I feel like if you're going to be doing a ranged DPS right now, bard is the way to go since they have more group utility. :/

At the end of the day I think that was the point. BRD/MCH were borderline the same class in HW. They've forked them off from each other pretty heavily to which I say is a good thing. Naturally there will be people who appreciate or don't appreciate the end result, but nobody should have been wanting 3.0 MCH v.2.- even if it's just for the concept of differentiating Brd/Mch.

As for Gauss Barrels existence? No clue.
