    SE should buff BRD and fix MCH.

    Like really. BRD's damage is just too low, the casters and melees are so ahead your raid buffs do not make up for it. Not to mention the convoluted mess of OGCDs, dot renewal and songs. Also, Apex Arrow sucks (why not just make it an OGCD with say 500 potency that gets 250 potency at 50 Song Gauge, would be a lot more manageable and less obnoxious to handle, and the slight damage buff would be welcome).

    Regarding MCH. To hell with Hypercharge and Heat Blast weaving. This is downright terrible. This job is literally (like literally) unplayable if your ping is not optimal. And there's no way around it. You clip the hell out of your GCDs to the point your 5th Heat Blast sometimes doesn't even go off. The current state of this job is embarrassing.

    Hum, I've no problem with the MCH, even with my 80+ ms of ping.
    And I love the way they redesigned it, except I miss some reloading animation (such a shame they deleted it) and some supports like Mana regen or vulne on foes.

    And I wish they'll give MCH and BRD more aoe, it's kinda boring in dj. Even if the MCH isn't that boring.

    But +1 for a buff.

    MCH has so many threads regarding the topic that id suggest you find. It just sounds like you wanna trivialize BRD if a 30 sec dot management and song transitions are that difficult to manage id suggest you stick to easier jobs like MCH and RDM. Apex arrow is a popular subject but again many topics exist regarding these two if your not gonna give any sort of suggestion towards fixing them.

    A simple and easy fix for Hypercharge and Heat Blast is to make it like Ninja's Bushin where instead of reducing your GCD to 1.5 seconds, you're given five stacks (ammo?) over say 15 seconds. Why SE keeps making mechanics based around ping baffles me.

    80+ ping is far enough to play MCH.
    But if you're Australian or living on the wrong coast, you'll have some problems.

    MCH has plenty of AoEs, the boring part is that it shares cooldowns with your actual kit due to the many shared/boring cooldown.
    ACB shares Hypercharge with Heatblast and doesn't refresh GR/Ricochet.
    Bio-Blaster shares cooldown with Drill.

    And the other 2 AoEs are Flamethrower and Spreadshot.
    Flamethrower needs a rework due to how boring the whole skill is.

    But MCH single target rotation is also barebone, so let's not only gives AoEs, better rework the current flamethrower and add depth to the current rotation overrall.

    Yaaaas read that ass. MCH has a eh base but its far from complete with most of its vital mechs not flowing with eachother what so ever and its AOE perfectly exemplifies this fragmented mess of a job

    I agree both jobs could do with a very long overdue actual substantial buff that’s more than the tiny 1.8% nothingness that bard got recently. But generally speaking mch is ok, few minor tweaks here/there (WF fix, queen fix among things) bard would need charges. But like someone said, there’s many other threads, Vent there.

    Pet and Queen AI is a major issue and should be fixed asap. Having a possible 2300 potency attack go down the drain and do a whooping zero damage because the pet decided for whatever reason to go attack the wrong target no matter what you do is just not acceptable. Special mention to the 2nd boss of Puppet's Bunker. /slowclap
