    Reverse spread shot / scattergun nerf

    As you may remember mch filler aoe got nerfed by 30 potency in 7.2. From what i assume, that nerf was mostly due to m6s dps check. Not only did mch underperform there, but also did not use the filler aoe in that particular fight due to being send off to deal with the ray puddles and being put on cat duty.
    So i would like that nerf to be reversed, since not only did mch underperform in the aoe heavy fights, but also the tradeoff buffs only affected 90+ level range, while the nerf can be felt in every piece of content that has aoe elements, since spread shot is a lvl 18 unlock.
    And to add more technical point to it: Both bard and dancer aoe is gain on 2 in an unquestionable way. Before the nerf it was the same with machinist, but as it is now it is not.
    As it is now spread shot is the same potency as quick nock, which is pretty crazy considering that machinist is supposed to be the "selfish dps" of the rphys role.

    Square Enix is beyond clueless about the current state of this job. The aoe part of its kit is a disjointed mess that anyone but cbu3 could fix with minor adjustments. Buff scattergun, make autocrossbow reset check and checkmate like heat blast, give queen aoe damage but NOOOOOOOO gIvE machinist dismantle because it's phys ranged which is support jobs except this ones not. Screw whoever is in charge of this job.
