They keep digging a bigger hole with MCH. As per the live letter, the last good/original skill, Gauss Round, is getting an animation replacement somewhere from lv92-100. Machinist was great up until lv54 when this problem started, the job completely deviates away from it's roots as you level higher and turns into some identityless nonsense. I thought the Auto Queen was cool, but then they went and reduced it's uptime instead of increasing it or turning it into a pet you can have out (and /glamour opportunities in future). Seeing as there is no hope for this job for the foreseeable future, time to finally bin the gear set, because inventory slots are a premium.
