Machinist class is dead

SAMs are being drama queens. And SMN got a systematic change, so swift isn't necessary for a DPS increase. You can still use it that way for mobility but it won't be mandatory. They did increase the damage on it, too.
As for MCH, mobility simply comes at the cost of damage. You want more damage? Either be melee or get some fat cast times. It's simply how this game is designed.

That would hold if brd and dnc didn't bring much more utility along with higher DPS. Given that MCH is a fairly selfish dps, it should outdps the other two physical ranged jobs. And I am not sure the changes actually closes that dmg gap in any significant way.
