Mch as of now is a more pure range dps yes in the past it had utility but you gotta remember they also removed alot from every class to simplify everything. So at Mch's core now pure dps and also with dancer being a thing they dont want to step on toes so dancer is the support range note they nerfed to oblivion bards support functions, why would they slap utility back on mch a class more accustom to dmg. though I do agree that the whole party mit should just be a role action and also give them a reprisal version too like palisade back other then that no utility is needed.

Its possible they will just remove flamethrower and I honestly don't disagree with that thought it was garbage from start to end but if they keep it please make it interact with bio. I feel like it would actually be interesting if they did something along those lines.
I think they will be going in a more gunslinger direction with all of this I mean if you see the benchmark MCH had a shotgun rifle attack
