    Gauss barrel...

    I mained mch as my main dps in heavensward but dropped it in stormblood for many reasons but the main reason was the gauss barrel and how it makes the job really unappealing.

    I know I can toggle to not see it myself but would it really kill ffxiv's servers to let us toggle it for everyone not to see it?

    They did this for summoner with egi glamour. Is it not something worth doing to make mch more appealing?

    I know it's not a problem for everyone (nothing is always a problem for everyone), we know, everyone knows. But are there some people who would feel more attracted to mch if the gauss barrel could be hidden?

    We all know glamour matters more than the strongest ilevel weapon in any expansion




    It just.....doesn't help

    Yeah, when the devs implemented the Gauss Barrel visibility toggle, they didn't go all the way. So they make it invisible for the user, but other players can still see it on you? The hell is the point then? The whole intention of why a player would want it is for it to be completely invisible to anyone and everything. When we turn off headgear, would we be okay with it being invisible to us but knowing that everyone else can still see it? Of course not.

    Simply put, they should adhere to the glam rules that they themselves came up with.

    Or maybe they should just get rid of it? Get rid of the stupid thing on the waist too. They've already gotten rid of plenty of visuals that were more aesthetically pleasing than that lame rotating clamp and steampunk fanny pack.

    When I first started red mage, and realized that both the sword AND the gem are unique for each weapon, I immediate though of how badly machinist was screwed up by the devs. None of the machinist accessories are designed to match the weapon, there is little variation in appearance, and they clash hideously with just about every armor and weapon design in the game. Meanwhile every samurai sword has a matching sheath, and every bow has matching quiver and arrows.

    Either redesign the machinist equipment to be unique for each weapon, or just get rid of them.

    The skill as a whole feels pretty unnecessary now considering that there's no reason you would ever want to keep it off/remove it now that Overheat has been buffed enough to be a DPS gain in virtually any situation, which puts it in a position similar to some other skills that got axed for SB.

    Yea I agree 100%. Just eliminate it from the game all together, in its current state we need to have it up all the time so its not a choice. The only purpose is to make us clip our gcd with barrel stabilizer and to be ugly as hell

    I've said many times that getting rid of the graphic/model, and simply making it a "Gauss Mode" would work perfectly. If it were an issue of knowing if/when a MCH has it equipped, that's easy: No Gauss, no acrobatics, not to mention low damage. And as with other jobs, BRDs have a marker to show if/when they're playing a song, Cleric Stance/Thin Air/Diurnal/Nocturnal all simply have markers to show they're active (should you miss the initial animations of them). There would be virtually no issue with Gauss Barrel/Gauss Mode's state being unable to be determined.

    If we had to choose which to get rid of, would actually prefer the thing at the waist over gauss barrel. I guess I'm able to ignore the barrel more because of other things being able to magically float (RDM crystal, AST weapon and cards, SMN book doing Ruin IV).

    I guess the question I have to ask is: "Why is simply hiding gauss barrel for the player on the class not enough? Why does everyone else not need to see it?"

    I mean for other players, gauss barrel isn't a magical thing that's being supported by the character itself. None of the animations interact with it and it sorta just floats in the exact same spot over your weapon as you swing it around.
