Machinist class is dead

[CKNovel]

If you enjoy the gameplay of a class, just play it and have fun. Why let numbers determine whether you're having fun playing or not?
Does having slightly higher numbers make the gameplay more fun?

Not that its wrong to complain or give feedback and want your class to get the same treatment as others. But wouldn't you be happier if you just stop worrying about the numbers and just play the class you enjoy to the best of your ability?

MCH has some gameplay issue, mine is the Queen that I complained way too much about. It's AI is inconsistent and the gameplay not fun. There's no gameplay behind the Queen, it's even more automated that FF XII or FF XIII.
Wildfire and Flamethrower needs a good rework imo.

But the topic is damage. I can't bring myself to enjoy a job when playing it is essentially griefing the team because I'm not playing a job that is straight up better.
Look, I've spent weeks to gear up my MCH expecting actually potent buff, I knew I'd be disappointed but that's a new low. I should've spent that time gearing another job.
I want to feel usefull to my team while enjoying my class.

Finally, enjoyment has nothing to do with balance. Regardless of how one enjoy the job, it doesn't excuse the lack of balance.

MCH is in the grave. The damage is too low, the ping problems are too bad, and there's no utility. The class is simply dead weight compared to other ranged classes.

When it's the Mathwizard that says it... Yeah it feels bad.
