It's time to Lock Out Machinist from PF

[NightHour]

Plenty of Machinist's are clearing the raid tier.

The job is not so bad that it can't clear.

Indeed, but MCH low rdps means you contribute less than another job at equal skill and make the fight harder for your group. While I can understand some people are not confident enough to bring a MCH in their group, it's really frustrating to see groups who lock out MCH when the only real reason is poor balancing from SE.

MCH is an ADPS job though, it's personal DPS should be higher than BRD and DNC (which it is).

As a machinist main, I hope they do - In fact I hope they lock out all Phys Ranged. It's at some point will get to the fact that the measly 1% us phys ranged poop out for existing wont be worth it and its better to bring another picto or rez caster. either give the phys ranged role more damage or make it an actual support role, currently its stuck in purgatory of neither in comparison to other jobs (the major outlier here is picto - yoship's new love).

If I was armchair yoship for the day, I'd give all phys ranged classes a rez and potentially one additional support related cd (also give machinist a raid buff) and remove the rez function from smn for more damage (unsure about rdm I'd say yes remove it but not sure how rdm mains would take losing their rez for better damage).

Giving a rez and additional support would make sense on the damage scaling.
