[Machinist] What is going on?

[MichiKyou]

Singling out MCH as the sole job that should get a buff, as opposed to the ranged+casters as a whole, is a dead end. It doesn't have much room to gain damage by its lonesome. SE is not going to add a party buff to MCH this expac, or probably ever. They should at least add some defensive utility, but once again adding entirely new skills is not a thing that happens in the middle of an expac.

No one here is disputing other jobs need a buff? This is just a thread focusing on machinist. I dont go into reaper threads and start trying to derail it about Machinist.

Sure. I'm mixing in frustration with MCH derailing other convos in general between here and other places.

They already mentioned ranged tax in 6.21 patch note.
So no, BARD WILL NOT RECEIVE A BUFF. THEY ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT.
