    Every subrole of DPS has a "selfish" job. MCH is the physical ranged selfish job. Unless they strip all the utility away from DNC or BRD (or make a new physical ranged), you're not getting utility.

    No, but they should buff MCH to be at the top of the physical ranged dps, before BRD and DNC. This ain't going to happen anytime due to the stupid "ranged tax" that limits the dps rang they have allocated to the role ("stupid" as the casters are pretty mobile themselves these days).

    We're two expansions in now and this philosophy has completely failed. They completely gutted all the nuance from Bard only to stare back with a Surprised Pikachu face when the community abandoned it wholesale. Machinist existed last expansion but it was pretty much the Dancer show by a country mile. Now we're in Endwalker and Bard utterly dominated until the 6.08 buffs made Dancer not a troll pick. Unfortunately, Machinist remains more or less worthless. So this is three years of them not being able to balance selfish/hybrid/buff jobs in the physical range role. And a good number of people don't want them to. They want old utility like Refresh and Palisade to come back.

    What the devs envision just hasn't worked.
