Machinist needs help.

I have no idea for DNC and BRD, but it's ridiculous that the rotation is at the level of a tank and you don't have mitigation or melee range, just fast speed.
On top of that, many abilities are automated. Wildfire is automated, Queen is automated, Flamethrower is use and don't move for 10s, aka automated.

Yeah, I feel like actually giving us something to do aside from spamming buttons on a tight buff window would be for the best. The most iconic part of the job, having a big mech with a drill on its shoulder, can't just be a single button you get to press when you have enough gauge, where most of it's depth is getting around the pet jank of it taking 5 years to summon and hoping to position him far away that he gets to do the close-in attack a lot. Hell, you don't even need to pay attention to the finisher, it just does it by itself.

I heard YoshiP call MCH a pet class once when referring to what they would do to SMN. Hell, if THIS is what counts as a Pet class, then DRK is just as much as a Pet class then we MCH are. At least AST needs to tell its giant bomb to explode before things move away from it (Although he can just let it blow up by itself if the targets are just going to sit there anyways.)

I would really appreciate to always have a Queen out and using battery gauge to give her, and myself, some buffing windows or something. Maybe just let me use battery for the finisher and have her just be there. Right now she's just a flashy DoT!

I prefer bishop and rooks old style in 4.0 similar but not really that identical to how SMN relationships with egi. In 5.0 how SMN differs from MCh is that it has multiple pets, and they compliment SMN kit with Ruin IV can be used in both aoe and ST scenarios! MCH only has one thats a shallow build up skill and nothing more

4.0 Rook could debuff and explode on command and was appart of the MCH burst phase due to wildfire old system. Now the tether is cut and its just a bland dot that looks cool
