To be honest, I am perfectly fine with the idea that DNC and BRD perform how they do in the best of parties, but it does not make sense for MCH to be how it is with how things have been tuned for a long while. I do understand that this is a delicate thing to get right, but doing anything by now is better than doing nothing.

MCH has very little to help itself or the party buff-wise, has what is effectively a role action for mitigation, and...nothing else. I would also argue that outside of getting to move while doing its rotation (which doesn't matter in any more difficult content since you need to be in particular places at particular times no matter your role, AND melee uptime is a joke) that it actually has some of the worst mobility in the game. All that is on top of doing the least damage in the game at any level where it matters. Is it somehow supposed to be surprising people are becoming more and more vocal about this? Is it revisionist history to point out a consistent trend for years that's now becoming even more extremely apparent as a job goes almost entirely ignored except for insistence from Yoshi P that it's fine?

Anyway, I would agree that this is very much not just a MCH issue and is something that will have to be addressed role-wide for phys ranged as far as a re-examination of both their identities and their numbers. I know they can't fix this mess so quickly as people would like, but feedback has been there for quite a while, and them dropping the ball repeatedly on this is becoming increasingly more disappointing.
