Machinist class is dead

[gamerseb]

I rather have a skilled MCH than a player who barely knows their job because they swap for the meta. This game isn't that strict to choices.

Then I'd rather choose a class that is actually competitive which I can become better on - ranged dps or whatever - and play that. Meta is part of the game for some players. BRD and DNC are wanted in PF. MCH are being frowned upon in high-level content - I've had several instances of this myself.

Let me rephrase what you said. I rather have a game where all classes can be somewhat competitive and bring damage to the group, with some differences. If you look at logs, the reality seems far from that. Not asking for an OP class - but let us at least be as good as our ranged peers.
