MCH vs BRD

[Levy9]

MCH's rotation #feelsbad. Poorly designed, things align weirdly. You lose your GB intentionally as part of your rotation and have to remember to toggle it back on or you lose out on a huge amount of damage while you do unbuffed shots. Plus, you also lose your turret for like 30 seconds after Overloading it and have to remember to re-summon it....

BRD's rotation is idiot proof, feels rewarding, and is very intuitive. Everything flows and makes sense and therefore damage is high and consistent.

MCH and BLM are my only lvl 70 DPS jobs. MCH doesn't feel clunky to play or poorly designed to me but my frame of reference is small for PvE jobs. Some adjustments are welcome, but I hope they don't over streamline MCH.

I honestly don't see how forgetting to reapply Gauss Barrel is any different from forgetting to put down Leylines on BLM. Both are one-button buffs that substantially increase DPS. Yet, Gauss Barrel seems to be a common gripe people have for MCH, but not with similar abilities on other jobs. *Shrug*.

Gauss Barrel always felt gimmicky to me ever since HW. Personally I wouldn't mind if they just dropped the barrel, added the 2.5 cast timer back, and have bullets remove cast timer like in 3.0. I think with Dancer coming into the mix, SE should focus more on making Turrets into a Shaman like buff mechanic.
