I apologize for the reupload, I did not catch the Hypercharge and Rook Turret mistake even after reading over my script, rewatching the video, reading the tooltip for both, and everything. I will be more thorough next time.
I just got back into FFXIV after a long time and decided to level a new job along the way, picked machinist which aesthetically was the coolest to me I hadn't played yet. And boy it's instantly my fav dps
These are the best guides I've seen - no fuss no waffling just the facts! Thank you because of you I've actually tried machinist which I avoided because it seemed too complicated.
This video actually helped me decide to pick this job up when I first started playing ffxiv, I wasn't satisfied with the job I started with, Monk, but this video got me looking in MCH's direction! I took up the job, fell in love and haven't looked back since! Ty for making the video!
I've a actually been looking for a simple explanation just to make sure I wasn't missing anything. And it turns out I wasn't, but great format! I was never quite sure if the Hypercharge Wack-a-mole was the best use but turns out it is!
I’m just now getting back into ffxiv and am hoping to get to machinist level 90 before dawntrail drops and so I immediately go to your videos cuz I remember how helpful they were 😭😭🙏 bless you
Theres no lie here. At the time you made this post the dps difference when comparing the best parses worldwide(none of which are you or anyone participating in these discussions) the difference in high end DPS is 12%(highest:Monk, Lowest:Dancer) which isnt enough to actually make any sort of difference without the rest of the team also failing to perform, thats also perfect play by the best players in the world in their respective roles. When looking at the data of the average player the average was and is ~3-5% depending on encounter so, you are ignorant and are probably the cause of most wipes and disbands you experience. To further compound the issue of your ignorance is the fact that machinist wasnt even the "worst" dps at the time and has since recieved a number of buffs.
@@thedarkness125 I would love to know what data you're looking at because in asphodelos on average it was the worst performing dps even behind the other phys ranged. In abyssos its average was higher than all the other phys ranged and casters baring black mage, but looking at every best parse its still the lowest. That just shows that the classes damage is very baked into its buttons with very little for skill expression. This is still true to this day on the current raid tier. It was so bad prior to receiving those buffs that you mentioned that it and red mage were actually benched in the world first races for abyssos due to tuning and damage. If you want to play MCH be my guest. At the end of the day it's a video game we all play for fun. You don't need to lie to the person on the other side of the screen telling them it's "known for big damage" when in reality its known for doing very little and being one of the jankier classes to play.
@@felixthekitkat Machinist does very high damage. There’s no need to get whiny about it, it’s as you said: It’s just a game. You seem to care so much though.
how does one even become the “best in the world” at any given job lmfao by what clearing content faster then everyone? im so confused as to how or why thats even a thing 😂
0:13 "Mainly known for doing a lot of DPS really fast" Unfortunately, My lvl 90 MCH Trait "The Lie Detectorinator" determined that to be a lie. Bard, Dancer, Monk, Ninja, Rez Mage, Summoner, Dragoon, Samurai, Black Mage, Sage, Scholar, Astrologian, White Mage, Gunbreaker, Dark Knight, Warrior, Paladin and Reaper ALL do more damage than Machinist, and it is not close. Period. SQUARE PLS BUFF MACHINIST
it either needs to double down on being selfish and get damage buffs to keep up with the Melee DPS classes, or it needs to get more support effects (shared buffs or enemy debuffs, either will do). It's such a cool Job, I really wish it wasn't so mediocre compared to other DPS jobs.
Now the thing for me is some of my actions and traits i learn DOESN'T get learned Either I cant use it yet for another action/trait or there's a glitch in the system
@@beckham3533 No, he can clear week 1 progs, who told you that bs? You wont be able to clear it with like 4x MCH but one? No problem. You can only fail this DPS check if you are bad or you really pick worst DPS composition for this. And its probably only recent DPS check, last tier MCH cleared without problems.
@@Alen725 I'm not talking about last tier. I'm talking about p8s dps check where a lot of groups got to 1% enrage but could've beat it if they swapped the mch for another ranged
@@beckham3533 No, thats obviously false. Its fkin annoying talking to clueless people who have no idea how that works and never touch savage content. You heard some loose information on internet and you think you know anything now. They could have beat it if they would play better, swapping for harder jobs if you cant clear on easier one is stupid. MCH have decent enough burst for that DPS check, sure not as much as SAM but still meta comps had like 2-3k+ team DPS more than needed for this check, swapping BRD or DNC for MCH would be ok, its like 100-200 rDPS loss so still can pass check easily. Difference between ranged melee is not enough to give you that extra 1%, its very tiny and situational. So in short no, thats wrong unless we are talking about worst DPS comp possible.
Ok, not to sound mean, but what's the guide here? All I see is just a rundown of the ability tooltips spoken out loud instead of read. Nothing really to learn here that you couldn't just find in game already. A guide, should be how to utilize these things. Not just a brief idea of what they are, the game already gives you that. On top of a lot of mispronunciation. Seems kind of pointless.
Oh come on, it's an "idiot" guide, perfect for beginners like me who wants to get an overall view of job(s), maybe make sure they got the basic mechanics right. Plus, this guy sounds friendly!
Plus the fun comes from finding it out yourself and making your OWN rotations. At least for me. On a somewhat unrelated note, am I the only one that finds playing on a controller is way more fun than on a keyboard? Take Gunbreaker as an example. Pull a trigger, the crossbar comes up SCREAMING for you to press a button. I push Triangle, Up, Triangle, Up for my Gnashing Fang combo, and double tap R2 and press Square to unleash Blasting Zone. It's so good.
Wow this video is bad. Did you really just read all the skills and then didn't go over rotations, AoE or opener? I want my 4 mins back. This is useless.
I apologize for the reupload, I did not catch the Hypercharge and Rook Turret mistake even after reading over my script, rewatching the video, reading the tooltip for both, and everything. I will be more thorough next time.
No problem. Thanks for your efforts!
I love your FFXiV job class guide videos please keep them up

One slight note. Unlike all other dots, flamethrower ticks every second instead of every 3

Omg this is exactly the type of video I needed for this class
This is amazing! I started playing machinist yesterday and had no idea what it was like at later levels. Thank you!
These are really good guides for making informed decisions.
I love your guides! Keep it up!
I've a actually been looking for a simple explanation just to make sure I wasn't missing anything. And it turns out I wasn't, but great format! I was never quite sure if the Hypercharge Wack-a-mole was the best use but turns out it is!
Thanks a lot trying to get back in the game after a long break this video was perfect
I’m just now getting back into ffxiv and am hoping to get to machinist level 90 before dawntrail drops and so I immediately go to your videos cuz I remember how helpful they were 😭😭🙏 bless you
An idiot with a gun, what can go wrong? lol. I think I learnt something, thank you!
As someone who played artilierist in lost ark this job speaks to me quite heavily
remember what they've taken from us
rip Turret and Queen duration
Man made it 16 seconds in and is already lying to these poor people.
Why don't you make a guide then? Cut him some slack 😂

Thumbs up you're the best!
almost done with post ARR quest line and am just waiting to get to heavensward so i can shoot people XD
all good
First comment les go, love these videos they're very helpful
Kinda new to this game. What does potency mean in layman's terms?
damage number
1:18 I thought machine weapons ff15 were their own thing not an equitable ff14 reference
IIRC, Final Fantasy is like Fire Emblem in that all the games take place in different worlds.
Whats a Turrent?
machinist is my fav
I want them to make mechanist Duel wield two pistols guns they use
Brah yes come on
Is Flamethrower worth using in dungeons on pulls or do you get more dps out of the other abilities?
I think its worth, its 80 per second for 10 seconds, so 800 potency with no aoe loss.
Trash mobs yes, bosses no.
I swear I thought it's going to be 3 seconds video with the big caption "DON'T DO THAT".
does a lot of damage c': i wish
so, by playin machinist you preti much are playin as Edgard from FF 6.
And every ff fan knows that Edgard is still one of the most best and broken characters ever!
I thought mch was the sky pirate from ff12 not vann but the English dude with the gun who was partnered with Fran
@@venture1174its definitely edgard not balthier. Edgar was a machinist, balthier was just a pirate with a gun.
I already know how to play mch, I just like watching your videos, LMFAO
What’s the weapon in the thumbnail?
What gun is being used in the video? It looks cool as hell.
I think it’s the ucob ultimate weapon. (Maybe uwu but I think it’s the ucob one)
It's the UCoB one, yeah.
setting mch hotbar feels so difficulty idk why xD
Awe tah muh tahn Queen, not Automation queen. ;-)
Fuck that was ALOT
If Edgar could this in FF6, he would be broken.
star
The hardest part of machinist
Deciding if it's pronounced like machine-ist or like mach-inist
ohh yea
“Known for doing a lot of dps” 😬
Do people use flamethrower? Wouldn't it be better just to use Bio Blaster and then scatter gun to the auto crossbow?
It’s better than scattergun, but not better than bio/auto crossbow
I use flamethrower so I can drink my energy drink or get a couple vape puffs in. It's pretty convenient, for me at least
You can use all of that on top of flamethrower 💀
I thought the guide would say, Play anything except Machinist.
Now the thing for me is some of my actions and traits i learn DOESN'T get learned
Either I cant use it yet for another action/trait or there's a glitch in the system
Are you doing all your job quests?
Well I leared where they are now so I wont need help, thx for asking tho
T-u-r-r-e-t
There is no “N” in this word 😅😂 oddly a big pet peeve of mine
oof
Automation queen doesn't sound as cool as automaton queen :)
I thought machinist was great utility...
Since machinist is nerfed in 6.2 better play dancer or bard
Machinist was not nerfed in 6,2, its still same. Also stupid advice. MCH can clear all content.
yeah mch can clear all content unless you're doing week 1 prog then play something else cause of dps checks
@@beckham3533 No, he can clear week 1 progs, who told you that bs? You wont be able to clear it with like 4x MCH but one? No problem.

It is also the weakest class of them all
"Mainly known for doing a lot of dps really fast" LMAO tell me you dont know machinist without telling me

On top of a lot of mispronunciation. Seems kind of pointless.
The guide is to switch your job stone to BRD or DNC and then get directed to those class guides.
Oh come on, it's an "idiot" guide, perfect for beginners like me who wants to get an overall view of job(s), maybe make sure they got the basic mechanics right. Plus, this guy sounds friendly!
It’s meant to be a basic and simple introduction, not an in depth guide.
That's literally why it's called “an idiot guide” lmao
