    When you go into each fight's top speedruns, it gives you a breakdown of the jobs used in the current top 50 runs. Here's MCH's spread:

    E5S - Appears in 3 of 50, well behind Dancer and behind bard.
    E6S - Appears in 1 of 50, tied with Bard. Rest are obviously Dancer.
    E7S - Appears 6 times, with it appearing in double Physranged in current rank 43.
    E8S - Appears 10 times. Likely its best fight, but there are still a ton more DNC over it.

    So tell me again how MCH is seeing any real use in parsing when Dancer is clearly ahead in all fights? Do I need to go slower for my Crystal folks?
    My screenshot was of savage clears for all 4 of those bosses combined. Apparently savage clears are casual content, and people who post parses of savage clears are not "people who parse." Inferring that speed runners are the only people parsing is laughable.

    As for why DNC is more popular in speed runs specifically, it's because speed runs require more specific party builds that coordinate stacking damage buffs with the highest dps jobs as much as possible so Dancer brings more to a speed run than MCH does since MCH does neither. For example, almost every single one of those runs brings SAM/DNC/BLM/NIN and if anything gets swapped out it's usually the NIN.

    I understand why someone who doesn't do savage would think anyone who uploads anything is "parsing," but let me learn you something here: "Parsing" is people aiming SPECIFICALLY for a parse, not a clear. There is a big difference. As you're not doing either, I hope you've learned something today.
    Okay, I can see that you're just a blowhard then. Welcome to the ignore list. Carry on.

    I can see MCH having a res being within the realm of possibility, it is the gadgeteer after all. But I'm not sure if any non-magic jobs should have a res period since it complicates things on how to balance it on a different role which don't use the same resources needed for a raise. Frankly I'd prefer to see MCH's utility shift towards mitigation and or debuffing. (as it once was in Stormblood)

    Aesthetic wise however, it would be hilarious to go up to my pals and shock them wide awake. Just as much as it is fun to shoot people in the face as Gunbreaker to protect them.

    How childish. Can't admit when they're wrong. Crystal's best, I suppose.
