It's time to Lock Out Machinist from PF

[Valence]

This person has not even played dawntrail machinist let alone cleared any content

I do play all ranged physical and have raided with MCH and BRD for all expansions since SB, use my own main character on these forums, and I do mostly agree with the OP. The job is badly designed, does garbage damage in spite of everything, and doesn't fit its own niche.
