I have a crazy theory that machinist isn't getting tweaked to quell in fighting at the office on how to design and balance it. there has to be one old head who's insistent the selfish dps needs to be inline with the weakest dps's in the game because it's phys ranged like them. This person was so offended in Heavensward when people complained double phys was op that he vowed to never let them be strong again. then we have employee 2 who actually plays the game and listens to the players and fights for stuff like full metal field, the best capstone in the game. employee 2 is why we have drills and saws. employee one is why auto crossbow having a reset on ogcd's is deemed broken and not allowed. When these two but heads it gives the rest of the team a headache so yoshi dictates machinist must change as little as possible.
