What is wrong about making machinist good?

[aiqa]

You want to reproduce for rphys the absolute horror the caster role currently has? Please no...

No I don't want that. I said explicitly tiered dps jobs is a bad idea.

and dramatically underperforms in good groups

But it doesn't. It now performs best of all rphys, even in good groups. That is why the timing of this thread is so weird.

Complaining about rphys as a whole is understandable. Requesting raid buffs for MCH to make it easier to balance in the rphys role is fine. But at this moment in time, complaining that specifically MCH underperforms compared to the other rphys is just weird.
