    Extremely disappointed with 6.1 MCH buffs

    MCH was more than 5% behind BRD and DNC, the buffs amount to 2.4% which is not even half of that. MCH needs to do more damage than other physical ranged to be balanced.

    MCH brings no utility to the group while both BRD and DNC have healing buffs, cleanses, heals, and shields. MCH has nothing. And still contributes less damage.

    As if that wasn't enough, MCH has an anti-synergistic toolkit because Wildfire and Reassemble are unable to benefit from critical hit and direct hit buffs. So not only is MCH damage bad, its identity as a selfish dps that abuses raid buffs suffers because of crit/direct hit mechanics.

    Additionally, MCH suffers from massive ping issues, issues that have been known for 4 years at this point. Ping was an issue in Stormblood, it was an issue in Shadowbringers, and it is an issue still in Endwalker. There has been zero improvements in the game mechanics to alleviate it.

    NIN and now even DRK have been blessed with improvements to safe-guard against ping problems by adding charges and changing skill implementations, but not MCH, not after 4 years, there has not even been an acknowledgement of the feedback. In fact, at the start of Endwalker Yoshi-P said there is not enough feedback. What are we even supposed to do at this point to give any? None of it is being listened to.

    To summarize:
    - MCH is and continues to be the weakest ranged DPS
    - MCH brings the worst utility to a raid group
    - MCH rotation has anti-synergy with party buffs
    - MCH has ping problems so only people near datacenters can play it adequately
    - MCH has the lowest mobility out of ranged DPS

    Edit: MCH is also the least mobile ranged DPS. DNC has En Avant, BRD has Repelling Shot (Now with 15 yalms!), MCH has nothing.
