Should Machinist Be Relocated or Reworked?

[Valence]

Give MCH walking casts like it does in PVP, and let it be a proper pure DPS. The easy mobility that phys ranged have is a failed design concept, and needs to be done away with, and shoehorning phys ranged as a pseudo support role is also holding the role back. These are designs for a game that does not exist anymore. It's time to move on.

You want to add cast times to jobs that have literally zero mobility beyond their full uptime (DNC excepted)? MCH and BRD are the two least mobile jobs in the whole game, period. Even healers have more mobility.
BLM can tp to allies every 10s, PCT can dash over 15 fucking yalms and sprint after for free every 20, SMN isn't even a caster and can still gap close, RDM can gap close and back step at will... So what you're saying is that you want rphys to be even more true to the turret gameplay than actual magical casters?

Like for real, if I had to choose between DNC dashes and PCT smudge, I'd take smudge without looking back, that's how better than DNC PCT is on mobility, when DNC used to be considered as the most mobile job in the game. That's how much mobility has crept in other roles. And that Aetherial Manipulation with 10s recast? Yeah you can literally play turret BLM with a macro that constantly rubberbands you to an ally every 10s for mechanics at this point.
