Are you kidding? Machinist has been one of the strongest DPS classes since its creation.

MCH's are actually kinda overpowered.
Not only do they contribute a large amount to raid DPS, but they tend to be around the 3rd / 4th strongest in terms of personal DPS for fights in the current raid tier.
Only SUM and SAM consistently perform higher, with BLM and/or MNK pulling ahead in certain encounters. Something you might notice about these classes is that they offer far less than MCH in terms of team support!
Its not an easy class to perform highly with, and it can be especially punishing if you mess up or lose track of your rotation! So, maybe they could make it less punishing or give it some QoL changes (Although some will be annoyed if it gets 'dumbed down' too much)... but it really doesn't need to be made stronger.

MCH : 4.2 preliminary note = RIP
Machinist has been one of the strongest classes for raidwide DPS since it was introduced into the game in 3.0. I find it very hard to have sympathy for a class that has deservedly been nerfed when that class has been overpowered for so long during raid patches.
Now SE should do something about Bard, Dragoon and Ninja.
Just an FYI, NIN has always been stronger then MCH since release. Have you ever tried playing MCH 3.0? God it was worthless. And it's not the job or the player base that is to blame for this. It's SE that is the blame. It's still retarded that both the support dps combined can do more raid damage then double caster could do...Machinist has been one of the strongest classes for raidwide DPS since it was introduced into the game in 3.0.

Ow and MCH wasnt part of the meta in 4.0 because of how shit and worthless the job was and right now it's replaceable with a SMN. 4.2 is gonna make it so MCH is gonna be locked out like how BLM is being treated right now. I can go sit my main down next to the SAMs...
Agree with you but lost many things on next updates cause ppl are never happy about things. Ppl prefer to complain about others job instead of asking better adjustment for their own jobs.
That's it!
I feel like I should qoute the reason as to why you made this post in the beginning...
So if I read this correct, you agree that MCH was one of the strongest jobs, BUT when you made this post it was the lowest in dps?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're starting to sound kind of like a hypocrite.
