No you won't, because the exact reason this is a problem is never ever going to go away!

Wow, Bard and Machinist really ARE kind of similar, that's basically Gauss Cannon to a T, isn't it?

I think bard has more abilities dependent on WM than Machinist does on Gauss Barrel

I wouldn't worry at all about them falling short in terms of pure numbers. If they really are below the norm, buffing the potency of some of their abilities is a very simple fix and should happen relatively quickly. The only thing you should care about is whether you find their play style enjoyable or not, because that's the thing that is least likely to change in the short-term.

I think fun is the real problem, though

it's not fun to hammer 1 over and over because you can't get a proc

it's not fun to die over and over in instanced story content while other DPS breeze on through

Yeah at least you're still doing something

it doesn't help that the sound effect for everything but clean shot is super underwhelming so you literally feel like you're just shooting a pop gun while dragoons do rising spear uppercuts and ninjas do crazy flip slashes

Since I don't have the leves to level drk up I think I'll pick up dragoon again. Seems appropriate for the expansion and they look like they have really cool post-50 abilities.

So how exactly IS machinist? I don't see many people taling about it, most people seem to just complain about bards.

I foolishly took it from 30 to 51 blowing rested xp and like 90 leves and god knows what else

it's not great and needs some kind of major mechanical overhaul

parser or not, it feels like the damage you're doing is garbage, and dying repeatedly in the Halatali story instance because I felt like I wasn't doing the damage the game expected me to be able to do was the nail in the coffin for me.

BRD and MCH balance changes probably won't come until at least 3.0.1, or 3.0.5. I sorta suspect it'll be sooner than 3.1 because holy gently caress is MCH not in a good spot right now, but it was unrealistic to expect those sort of changes this soon.

So I dunno if this is a spoiler but the Japanese track has a reference the dub didn't carry over

when talking to Aymeric after the Vault in the english version when he says he has to stop the archbishop, in the Japanese dub he says 'we must stop my father...no, we must stop the Primal "Knights of Round"

kind of a huge shift there

The Japanese writing sucks.

at least in main story quests there's like no difference 99% of the time they just ran the japanese script through Game of Thrones filters
