Machinist needs help.

I hope that the initial impressions are wrong, but it's not looking very hot. What kinda fresh hell are these buffs? I'll take em', but at a glance it's looking like MCH is now going to be under BRD AND DNC.

Which begs the question of: why?

BIGGER CRITS BABY.

BRB leveling HEAVY MACHINE GUN Bard.

It was me.

The only way for me to get the bronze medal on this job was to force the rest of you off of it.

This is not balancing, this is sabotaging.

This is around 100 potency per minute while other jobs gets much more on 60s cooldowns. MNK got 75 potency per minute.
MCH will be the worst job even below SMN but without healing, res or shields.

Does SQEX thinks that MCH is broken?
They are, without a doubt, completely disconnected from the feedback.

[gumas]

oh cmon guys its still a buff

i mean... look at brd....

[KageTokage]

For the job with the least utility out of the ranged, the tuning seems like they were playing a bit too safe, especially after DNC gained around 15% potency on its primary spam GCDs.

[Silly_Rabbit]

Let's see that is about 3% increase to our big hitters. They combined contribute about 25% of our damage so that's overall increase of less then 1% to our damage?
Is this out of season joke?

but dnc is waay on the bottom right? this buff should bring them up to just slightly behind brd now

pDPS wise it's going to be on the same level as BRD I believe.
Also note that due to DPS increase on most jobs, BRD and DNC rDPS will also increase.

MCH lacks depth. It has great toy-animations, but they dont work with each other.
Flamethrower doesnt interact with heat gauge.
Flamethrower interrupts OGCD damage rotation for 10s. It has basically no use in savage content, unless adds exist.
Wildfire is a weak "weaponskill", as many mentioned it cant crit,dh, etc.
Queen cant be controlled, sometimes she attacks random adds (e.g. 2. Extreme Trial Add Phase - No spoiler)
Adding new "skills" to Queen seems useless to me. They could add higher potency on her final attack and call it a day.
This also delays the "callback" mechanic if a boss is about to get invuln, since Pile Bunker > Crowned Collidor costs extra animation time, hence a possible dps loss.

The "balance" patch 6.08 is a joke for MCH. It feels like a small bandaid to shut up MCH players.

[CKNovel]

Queen cant be controlled, sometimes she attacks random adds (e.g. 2. Extreme Trial Add Phase - No spoiler)

It's a pain in TEA.
Queen sometimes targets a random boss in Phase 1.
Sometimes in Phase 3, during the DPS check, it aims for an invulnerable Alexander.

The Queen just has so many problems SQEX needs to rework or QOL the hell out of it in 7.0 because Crown Collider already shows the AI limitations.

I could say "wait for 6.1" but after seeing 6.08...? I'm starting to think they enjoy doing this to MCH and DRK.
