All I can assume is their refusal to speak at this time is because they know they have a bad or nonexistent justification for their current balancing of Machinist. I don't know if this is because they're still mistakenly balancing around median damage / median (rDPS) for endgame content or if they're still afraid of a double ranged meta, but it does get more insulting every patch. It only looks sillier when casters get more and more mobility and melee are losing more positional requirements. This is on top of certain melee and casters being able to flat out ignore standard rotations. (Dragon Kick Monk and Paradox Black Mage anyone?).
