The State of Machinist in DT - Let's talk about it (again).

[Supersnow845]

Around 11 Machinists cleared on week 1.
In comparision, there's 286 Dancers and 135 Bards.

MCH is also waaay lower than any melee DPS, so much for that reduction of melee uptime.

As anyone who has spent 0.0000005 seconds outside of JP would have told the dev team “buffing melees for uptime concerns” was always a stupid suggestion because NA refuses to even consider a strat if it doesn’t maximise melee uptime anyway. Like that god awful M7 strat that’s forcing all the casters and phys range out of boss range to make the mechanic easier for melee to hit positionals (because a positional is 100% worth more than 3 seperate jobs entire GCD)
