Why do the devs hate MCH so much?

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

I think the issue with Machinist is its damage output, despite kinda being The Physical-Ranged "Selfish DPS"
But I think Ive been hearing Ranger Jobs all have this issue, a "tax" or something, Im forgetting what it was called.
So get rid of this 'Tax' and better damage and BAM, problem solved.

Frankly, what you said here is what never sits right in my mind about the entire role. From what I understood they shipped Physical Ranged DPS to be geared more as a 'support'. This holds true for BRD and DNC so far, but not MCH whose kits are almost entirely selfish outside Tactician.

It's just... odd. Kinda like SE is trying to achieve too much but accomplishing nothing, if it makes any sense at all...
