    Machinist Main who's bad at consistently doing a full 6/6 wildfire here. I'm a fan of the changes for the class. It probably could use a minor potency buff to help it keep up in DPS since it's supposed to be the selfish ranged class but otherwise, I'm pretty happy with how the class is atm. Having Full Metal Field and Excavator make it easier to do my 2 minute burst since I don't have to worry about having any other big buttons ready when wildfire comes off cd, don't have to deal with drifting gcds as much which is nice. I do still want a defib melee ranged res skill if only because I find the idea funny. Also please figure out what to do with flamethrower, Square! It feels like such a pointless skill atm. Give it some synergy with Bioblaster or Auto-Crossbow or something.

    one thing i love about machinist from a lore perspective is that our job stone is virginal, meaning were the first person to hold it. theres no ancient knowledge from previous masters helping us learn how to be a machinist. meaning post level 70 all our new gadgets and techniques are invented entirely by the WoL. plus all the little flips and stuff we do while firing is entirely just the WoL being extra.

      @Zoltri Місяць тому +2

      @@Electric0eye pretty sure its just a meme, Defensively, their utility is interchangeable with the other Phys range, and the offensive utility is balanced off by Mch just doing more damage. Personal damage doesn't mean anything in this game, from an overall perspective, the damage profile of all three jobs is like, a 2% overall difference, so it really doesn't matter.
      The only thing you can really point at is Esuna on Bard, but Dancer also doesn't have it, and with the general fight design philosophy, it'll never be required, its just a nice tool to have to be a good guy and help the healers out so they don't lose a GCD.
      I've seen posts of people trying to push for rejecting Mch spots in PF groups, and its just... really silly. I really dont understand why people have such an issue with the job, because the outcome is literally the exact same, they just don't make other peoples numbers higher, which doesn't even matter for parsing since buffs provided are reduced from your overall damage anyways, so logs try to avoid the idea of a parsing group influencing outcomes as much as possible. Its impossible to get it perfect, and at the super, super, super high end, it matters, but for 99.99% of players, it literally won't make any difference.

    I’ve played MCH for majority of my time in XIV (been playing since 2.1) and I completely agree with your assessment on the current state of the AoE rotation. This is personally how I would fix it:
    1. Instead of just making Air Anchor an AoE, I would change Flamethrower into a single hit AoE cleave that deals 300 potency to all targets and I would make it share a recast with Air Anchor like how Bioblaster does with Drill.
    2. Decrease the potency of Auto Crossbow but make it capable of reducing the cooldown of Double Check and Checkmate.
    3. Make Wildfire AoE from the target it is attached to like how it does in PVP. If the target dies before the duration expires, then it automatically detonates with max potency of 1440.
    4. Reassemble doubles the DoT duration and the intial hit potency of Bioblaster for a total of 600 potency per target. More AoE utility for Reassemble would make AoE rotation far more engaging.

    No no the SMN to MCH pipeline is real because it happened to me when I wanted a class that felt and looked cooler than SMN (Don’t blame me, I was just starting Heavensward..) and MCH descended from the Skysteel Factory to bestow me with a gun. I still love it after I finished Dawn Trail and was really excited for EVEN MORE GUN in its kit

    I loved Machinist's Overcharge for the 'slow to fast/Dragon Install' burst style. I love slapping buttons and going super quick.
    Unfortunately, Queen just feels like a very, very hollow summon attack, and I have had an on-again-off-again relationship with Wildfire as a concept for the job over the years since I started in SB.
    I'm currently having the time of my life since we now have two melees that have an install-style burst in Viper and Reaper that just ran in and yoinked everything I loved from Machinist and gave you charges on their tool equivalents way earlier than MCH gets them. It's really odd that you don't get charges on Drill right when you get it, but I guess they don't want Thordan or Shinryu parties just shooting two drills into the guys face the second the pull timer ends.

    for the gearing issue, why doesn't square just make it so you can double your weekly tomestone cap, with the restriction that you can only get one piece of gear for each type of job, it's not perfect, and some would just use it to get the chest/legs early for the higher gear, but it also allows for the freedom to split up your tomestones and gear two jobs at once, and then, just like with raid tiers, when the raid and tome cap restrictions fall off, so does the gear purchase limits.

    Liking the 100 MCH (in single target anyway)
    My wishlist:
    1. Let wildfire crit/dh, and give it aoe damage
    2. Queen aoe damage
    3. Auto crossbow should refresh ogcds
    4. Make flamethrower a normal gcd, let it combo with bioblaster to set the gas on fire and do more damage. Give it enough potency that it's worth using in single target, so you have to have a drill charge for bio blaster every minute too. This would give you a bit more variety every minute. Also should probably generate heat.
    5. Buff ranged and caster dps across the board! (Not you picto)

      Then you can use flamethrower

    Comparing rDPS should always be the correct option since that will naturally be higher if you do more personal damage but accounts for the amount of damage you supply via buffs as well. using raw DPS as your point of comparison just doesn't give a good idea of the actual balance.

  • @truesoprano2152

    When I started maining MCH, it felt like some sort of 8th chakra unlocking. All of a sudden, raiding became fun. Doing my rotation became fun. To me it's the perfect combination of being stimulated by pressing buttons fast but still having the mobility to let me focus on mechanics. Some people will say it's too easy, or that it doesn't do enough damage, but I don't care because it's just so damn fun to play.
    Also I love the lore behind it. It's the newest job, created by innovators in a traditionally conservative nation who think that we shouldn't necessarily have to stick to tradition in order to overcome our greatest foes.

  • @BubblingkettIe

    The balance I've found is to run dungeons with SMN and raids/trails with MCH. Downtime between pulls means you can burn through summons quickly which feels fun (same on hunt trains) where as single target with MCH feels amazing firing guaranteed direct critical hits.

    As an automaton engineer, I absolutely love the class for how it looks and the way it plays. Even the quest story was fun, going from a band of rebels lead by a rebel nerd, into a small militia, and see the job skills slowly evolve into matrix jumps with robot stuff was amazing. I absolutely love that part of the design, but being locked out from pf due to bad job balance and being the butt of the joke for too long made me not main the job for the first time in the 5 years I've been playing, and just went to main my second main class. the gun tank.
    I truly dream to see the day we're free to deal damage like any pure dps job, but the weird balance they do around raids will keep stifling this job.

Especially with how costly crafted gear is. And by the time it's a somewhat reasonable price, people have mostly moved on from the endgame content.
