Saving the Machinist! Fixing the WORST DPS in FFXIV



I love the machinist so much I really want to see it shine again, I’ve thought for the past few weeks HOW I’d want to see it changed in a way that is FAIR to everyone! I think I’ve come up with two AMAZING ideas that will NOT break game design philosophies!

  1. I love the machinist so dearly… in before comments saying I hate the machinist for clicks are posted… even though I've been focused on my website for 2 weeks 😭😭

  2. I was a Machinist main all throughout Shadowbringers and I really do not like how hard it dropped the ball this expac. I'm holding out hope that 6.1 will receive some damage buffs at the very least.
    Edit: I'm liking your Defibrillator idea

  3. I think these are great additions but I would add one other thing a trick attack counter point and could just call it "Weakpoint" and it do roughly the same thing I say this bc they come off as a tactical job and idk it seems right

  4. Defibrillator isn't even that weird an idea… Engineers in WoW had a jumper cable brez, and this was in a game where brez was not even remotely common (and the jobs that did have one couldn't use them more than once-ish per pull), on a profession that was not combat. For machinist to have a defibrillator brez, as a combat job, in a game where 1/3 of the jobs have a brez on what is essentially a 1min cool down, is not unreasonable at all.

  5. I agree, machinist is a fun hit of dopamine but needed something new to bring to the table compared to the other ranged contenders. That mana idea you bring up sounds really niche but could work really well when bringing it on some mana economies to give a boost when needed and easing more load off more mana hungry classes; also Defibrillators would be a real cool addition.

  6. If they gave machinist mitigation/raise utility I would gleefully tattoo the symbol to my chest. Excellent DPS feel, mobility, and battle raise? 😍 Be still my gunner heart!

  7. I think this is a good idea but I also think there's very little chance that they'll do this. YoshiP already said that were close to removing raise from SMN, so I can't see how they would add it back to another class. I don't think they said why, but my feeling is that that they felt like it couldn't have any more dps and keep that level of utility. Now maybe that's what they'll do — no dmg buff for MCH but here's some utility, but that does take MCH out of the "I'm the selfish dps of this role" spot.

    Edit: OTOH, maybe they didn't want 2 jobs in the same role with raise, so if that's the case, maybe you remove raise from SMN, bump it's dmg to compensate, and then make MCH the "raiser of the ranged." That way you don't really add more raisers to the mix.
