So I'm making this to put down my thoughts on what should be done to fix Mch at this point. There's really no denying the class is in a bad spot for what it's suppose to be, and something needs to be done about.
Most of my recommendations will be pulling Mch back to where it use to be.
1-2-3 Combo: There's currently nothing fundamentally wrong with the 1-2-3 Combo, but it's pretty generic at this point. I think it would be interesting to pull it back to actually work with the heat system, but I would be much more interested in them reintroducing the bullet system. Maybe instead of making it a random chance, make the bullet buff the next shot in the combo.
Bring back Rook Autoturret and Bishop Autoturret. Don't tie them in with Automaton Queen.
-Overload: Rook and Bishop Overload should be a CD skills that tie in with the turrets as big attacks that work with it.
-Overdrive: Buff that causes the Turrets auto-attack to debuff the enemy to cause the entire raid to deal 5% more damage.
Wildfire: This should deal a % damage of the total amount of damage dealt by the MCH within the Wildfire window. Not just Weaponskills, and not based off the number of Weaponskills performed in the window.
Tactician: This is the exact same skill as Brd's Troubadour and Dnc's Shield Samba. Which is fine, but it's not a good enough skill to justify Mch's damage being where it's at.
Dismantle: This should be the debuff applied by the turrets to increase party damage. Personally I think it should increase party damage, and lower targets damage, but I don't know if that's just being unreasonable or not.
Flamethrower: This needs a complete overhaul. It's current state is because of how heat build up originally worked, but that's changed and the heat build up has been removed, so now it's a useless skill.
Bioblaster: This should not share a CD with Drill, and probably have it's dot damage increased by 10-20 points, and should be an OGCD skill.
Automaton Queen: This should not tie in with the Turrets at all, and just continue working how it currently does.
I don't think any other skills really need a change. These are just the big ones.
