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.

“… that I just triple weaved.”
He’s just like me frfr!

[SolotheHawk]

What is happening?? So many new videos. I feel like I've crossed into a dimension where he never stopped XIV content or something.

"I like the defensive utility Machinist has"

Dude, every time I'm playing with my friends on VC and I use dismantle, I ALWAYS, and I do mean ALWAYS, say "Lemme throw a wrench in their plans"

[iszac]

"summoner to Machinist pipeline" took me out back and beat me lmao

[Shadow.Darkraven]

no raid utilities, does my wrench mean nothing to you?! WOE DISMANTLE BE UPON YE

[ranmazokuable]

You know its a Larry vid when theres at least a SMN mention, even if its a stray bullet against them LOL

[NeFlorence]

The real Machinist Dilemma is wanting to play such a cool job but unable to make the ugly lunch box that don’t match any of my glamours invisible

[ShikiRyougi]

Have we EVER gotten this many Larryzaur vids in this short of a time span!?

[Killinshots]

to be fair, MCH has dismantle which just makes the boss deal 10% less damage, and it has a funny "dink" sound effect

[queenmika]

As a WAR -> SMN -> MCH every bit.
Except the part about overcapping drill by accident, nope, I'd never do that...

[Jazzjecht]

The fact autocrossbow does not recharge checkmate/Double Check is insane. (also reassemble does nothing for bioblaster. Use it for Scattershot/chainsaw)

I do believe they need to up the MCH dps, as it is a selfish dps. And for people saying "Its not selfish you have wrench" I'ma throw the wrench at you like a dodgeball.

[KurodoDragon]

All robots are queens? IF SHE BEEPS, SHE'S A BOT!

[treedude]

I kinda miss the old richochet and gauss. It went very hard
But the shift from "dude with gun" too "tech inventor dude" rules

[pixiesnakes]

Ah, Machinist. The "I have no idea what I'm doing but somehow everything is fine" job

[Anbob]

"Reassemble is MCH Kaiten please don't take it away square"
You're so real for this Larry

[diamondmagus]

I've mained Machinist ever since they removed the cast bars and really started leaning into the whole Edgar cosplay. I love it for the freedom while learning new content. Watch me run all around the boss lair, so much room for activities! Plus it was unique among our companion NPCs.

[StormhawkeRose]

I still like the idea of giving them defibrillator and letting them have a raise ability.

[JustShimothy]

I've mained machinist since stormblood and have loved the level 100 version, there's so much more flexibility than in level 90 content being able to save drills for burst windows and only stress about keeping air anchor and chainsaw on cooldown, its so good right now, just needs major buffs honestly.
