The best thing about Mechanist

[itspomf.9523]

... is that I haven't seen people complaining about Thief being OP in forever.

(In all seriousness, though, I feel bad for what the Engineers have been putting up with.  It's almost as bad as Elementalist during the EoD streams)

Well yeah, people think Anet destroyed Thief after the changes to SA when in reality it is more oppressive now than before.

 

But Mechanist is now the reason of every issue in this game.

-Weaver rotation is still too hard for the damage it deals ? Blame Mechanist. 

-FB is still an OP support providing almost everything needed ? Blame Mechanist

-Scrapper heal getting nerfed for no reason ? Blame Mechanist (ok that one is actually a fair argument)

7 year old content. There are exactly 20 players left who do these things.

Lets destroy the spec for everyone else. Sounds like a good plan.

Well if it opens ways to buff berserker (/spellbreaker cough)... then nerf it all you like. Can always buff every spec with core changes.

... is that you can now see who doesn't know how to LoS, if you head over to the PvP subforum.

The ironic part for me is that Mechanist is hated for the rifle rework. Which can be used by every Engineer, but appears to be very effective on Mechanist. I remember a few years ago, there was a massive hate against Scrapper, where one of the top-comments claimed Impact Savant would grant + 5 % damage increase passively - about 3-4 months after it was removed.

As long as the rants fund on misinformation and being unable to read and understand a tooltip-text, there is not much to worry about. It is sad to read those complaints and see how much they get appreciated. Not against criticism, but they should at least know what they are talking about.

In addition, while they rant on Mechanist, we can focus on other classes without worrying about being called out to be OP. Which is a very nice side effect.

don't forget the classic "Rifle auto shouldn't have explosive tag so it doesn't proc A-AR"
