  1. the only other change i want is queen also having aoe because she doesnt do aoe damage but i love mch but oh man does it feel bad when the other 2 in my role do more damage than me and also have party buffs. im supposed to be the selfish dps here but im shooting the boss with nerf darts atm. i dont want to wait until 7.3 before i can be a job again yoshi-p

  2. Lol YoshiP flat out said "NO" to even raising the tomestone cap that hasn't been touched since mid ARR. Aint no chance we are going to be gearing 2 jobs. Lock in what you want to play in the 7.11 ult at 7.05 and pray.

  3. Machinist as a job is fine in the sense that it doesn't feel bad to play, the cooldowns are lackluster (looking at you wildfire) but it's active and you're going to stay busy.

    The problem is SE put it in the phys ranged role and still treat class design like it's ARR. You're never going to be as good as a samurai, viper, or black mage, your counterparts. They have to stop treating phys ranged like it's ARR where its innate traits mattered a lot more. The fight design is just not like that these days, especially now when the other roles have means to maintain their uptime. It's a big reason I miss the gun mage machinist, much as I hate the idea of 'casting' a shot.

  4. I love playing machinist but I have the pettiest reason to not play mch: they jump around with their gun. If I had an option for him to stand still and fire I would probably main it but that jump makes me do a double take every time I see it. I think that is the dumbest reason I currently have to dislike a job.

  5. I don't care about the lower damage, I can do all of my stuff while gunning and running. Machinist vibes are off the charts constantly. Getting chain saw really made MCH like 5x more fun.

    EDIT: ok yeah AoE is so unfun, WHY DOESN'T AUTO CROSSBOW REFRESH GAUSS OR RICOCHET

  6. I've been MCH main since the job came out. Personally, Stormblood MCH felt the best. The current iteration is still very fun to play now that drill overcap isn't as much of a constant issue every 20s. Wish leg and foot graze got replaced with pallisade and refresh 🤌
