[Machinist] What is going on?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Little cropping to make it perfectly clear:




Also, if MCH was balanced appropriately, for a selfish dps job that's supposedly easier to play than the other two in the ranged role, I would expect it to look something more like this:



As you can see, although the top scores aren't as high due to party optimisation for utility jobs giving them an edge, they're still in a comparable range, however the median and lower scores are higher, because it's supposedly easier to play and more consistent in it's own damage output.

At this point you can then turn around and say "the ranged role in general is too low" and buff them all equally.
