(DNC at least keeps me awake and I only really need to pay attention to one other person.)

Tactician is about the extend of how much I'm willing to support others while playing MCH, and even then it's a case of "I'm going to pop it when *I* need it, and if it happens to help someone else, good for them".
Thank you for giving feedback as a Main Machinist how you feel about this!!! I do not like DoT management myself, I truly do not like it on RPR also, especially as it takes a GCD and gauge management tougher (depending on what raid, it is fine most raids) but are you saying when a DPS becomes support, it is often with DoT? That makes sense, I did not think about it or put it together.
I was only wondering "Adding a raid buff" and that is all, but not change the entire rest of the job itself! I wonder what you think of this? So, nothing but "1 raidbuff", but the rest maintains.
Since MCH already has a unique secondary mitigation, tactician becomes "raid buff" instead, if we imagine it this way, what do you feel?
