Machinist needs help.

[CKNovel]

If you're only doing 'hard' content, then why would you be at all concerned with Flamethrower?
"Just delete the stuff I personally don't use" yeah... no.

I play MCH in most content since HW, that's why I keep saying ShB MCH was designed for dungeons and not Raiding.
Even in Dungeons, it's not fun to press Flamethrower. And that's a problem with MCH about most buttons, Queen and Wildfire for example, press and forget, wait for their effects.
You cannot compare Phantom Flurry and Flamethrower, surely you can understand the major differences between the two?
FT is 10 seconds of nothing, Phantom Flurry is 5 seconds then interrupt with the final kick.

Quick lesson: There is something known as "tick fishing". It's not worth the trouble but basically you use Flamethrower before a boss is targetable again and you pray for a tick to connect before you hit your GCD.
It's not worth the trouble, again.

The initial problem is that MCH lacks buttons to press, this is why I care about Flamethrower being good and relevant in Hard content and dungeon/bozja content. Errr... Forget what I said, there is much better lost actions AoE in Bozja.
MCH has too much AoE and one of them is an emote that does damage. That's a fact, not an opinion. If you like its design, good for you. But I'm not the only one asking for a rework of this crappy ability.
There are many pages about complains about MCH you can find here and there.

Hard disagree.

Machinist feels awful in dungeons.

sadly i agree, its Aoe kit is just as wonky and off handed as its ST kit
