Does anyone else feel like the devs just don't like MCH?

MCH is great right now. I mostly play SMN and MCH when I DPS at the moment and I enjoy them a lot.

Maybe their DPS is low? I don't keep track of the whole DPS competition among jobs, but I'm frequently yellow in the enmity table regardless. The regular high-potency burst had me deleting fate enemies yesterday.

Why does someone need to do acrobatics while firing a gun?

It didn't used to do acrobatics most of the time in Stormblood, and it was a very boring job to play. Bard meanwhile was extremely fun doing acrobatics to shoot arrows from different angles. So they changed Machinist to not have an RNG rotation and to always use acrobatics for the attacks. It's just a lot more fun that way.

Ignoring the numbers as I frankly don’t care and unless your parsing you will never notice it personally, the job itself plays spastically. And unlike every other job in the game you don’t work for anything. I guess the turret , that you have no control over, I guess wildfire which doesn’t do anything tangible either, I guess drill? Every 20s

Doubt machinst will get another big overhaul. It's had 2 already.

It's the damage focused of the ranged phys so it should hit harder than the other 2. Look at BLM and SAM.

Give hypercharge 5 stacks, let autocrossbow reset riccocet & gauss round like heat blast(or at least them reset their complimentary oGCD), wildfire should be ether guarenteed Dire-Crit or have an aoe explosion when it pops, make flamethrower a proper DoT, and lastly just get rid of the queen. Replace the battery gauge's use to empower the tools.

This is not a doubt I would bet on. There have been several instances in this game’s history of jobs being overhauled repeatedly e.g. SMN, AST, DRK, MNK, and NIN have all had repeated overhauls, as has mch. In fact since it’s inception Endwalker marks the first Expansion it has not had a major overhaul.

I would not in the least bit be surprised to see major changes to MCH come 7.0.. sadly until then I’ll stick to other jobs.
