Mr. Locke posted:It’s a tragedy, because HW MCH was by far the most flexible class in that era of the game, with so many good little oGCD interactions that let you just pull so much poo poo off on the fly. Alas, it was also by multiple orders of magnitude the hardest to come to grips with, to the point where bad MCHs were getting the class kicked on sight. It had to die so the plebs could get their gun fantasy on too, because having a class less then 2% of the player base bothered to get to max level was bad design in the long run. Amusingly I feel the same way as you but for SB MCH. I love the rigid playstyle and whilst ShB MCH looks fun for more people it really isn't for me.

Rainuwastaken posted:MCH is really cool and fun when you have ammo, but the rest of the time you're watching for procs and it's everything I hated about BLM's Firestarter rotation. I feel like I can't take my eyes off my hotbar for a second or else I'll miss something. On classes with rotations more set in stone, I can watch the boss or my party members and it's a lot nicer overall, since the rotation is handled mostly by muscle memory. I have a tiny pea brain but in a different manner. It's only able to handle current MCH's clockwork rotation and nothing else  BRD plate spinning is too much for me in savage. Watching for 1-2-3 procs was fine for me because it was only once every GCD which wasn't super often, and the oGCDs are set in stone so those are just muscle memory.

Zoig posted:I didn't play mch before ShB because the heat gauge sounded like rear end to utilize and I would probably have been fine with them keeping ammo, since as a mechanic it was fine compared to overheating and wildfire and all that. I enjoy being flashy, but I wanted to get even more gun flashy rather than engineer flashy  I never did get very far into FFVI, so maybe that's why I don't care so much about the new tools.

Mordiceius posted:Yeah, I just think there's a difference between "I find this class fun to play" and "this class is not broken and should not be changed." Mordiceius posted:MCH wasn't fun sub-70 and it wasn't fun at 70 either.

Mordiceius posted:Allow me to rephrase that. MCH was a broken, bad class sub-70. It was broken, bad class at 70. The only annoying bits of MCH at 70 was Flamethrower and not having WF manual detonate. Everything else was an elegant clockwork rotation running on 15/30/60/120s timers and that's gone in ShB and I'm gonna miss it.

Zoig posted:Thats nice, but not realistic if you have high ping, especially since (as i understand) a very large portion of the damage mchs do is during overheat and then after it for a period they are basically throwing rocks. Missing anything in the period is a serious problem and while its not a design failing, It's also a reasonable thing to complain about. I raided with MCH on 250ms ping for a year and found it fine when I ran a high-ping rotation Dryzen posted:Bring back the cast bar I'm glad the cast bar is dead. But now it's super dead.

Cleretic posted:I can see that in theory, but I live in Australia and have characters in the NA servers (because the alternative is playing with Australians), so most of my gameplay is in off-peak hours for most of the playerbase. We have a fledgeling Asia-Pacific goon fc on Kujata if you want to play with Aus goons.

I don't think I ever got a creepy PM as a dragongirl, which makes me feel mildly insulted.

The Berzerker posted:Yeah I am just going to do this and go over there I guess. With the expansion coming out on Friday, I can't imagine I am going to sit at my computer all day every day for the rest of the week hoping something opens up. If you're east coast US it might be worth joining the eurogoons in Omega. I hear the ping is pretty similar to the NA servers which are west coast.
