[Machinist] What is going on?

3.) Machinist gets buffed damage to reach close to BLM / SAM - "why bring SAM / BLM if MCH does almost as much without any restrictions?"

MCH doesnt really need to out-contribute SAM or even BLM, it does however need to out-contribute at least the ranged dps that bring utility as it itself has none.
Or alternatively give it defensive utility on par with BRD and DNC.
