YOU CHANGE MECH MACE BARRIER APPLICATION TO WEAPON SKILL 2 WITHOUT TELLING US.

I am just angry and shock that we weren't given the heads up beforehand at preview notes. Plus not even a single word regarding the mace change on release note as well.

This change is the biggest problem Alac dps mecha could get against boss fight, considering that became near impossible to have 100% alac uptime now on a moving boss fight, and we even get a Mehanical genius istant ON/OFF status too (no more extra time counter for it) that can create some problems on rotation considering the robot sometimes run around randomly exiting the 360 range............... and all this was never mentioned in the preview or the final partch day note list..........

Really bad change at less then 2 months from expansion...............

I'm wondering if it wasn't announced because I can't remember the last time I ever saw a mecha using mace (all the ones I see around have rifles).

....or it could just be a bug.

Thankfully you don't need mace auto to keep up alac. People have been running rifle alac for ages and the only barrier/alac access it has is from mech skills and a signet. 

We don't know yet how the new weapons will change things as well.

HAM runs mace/shield, used to use mace auto to spit out extra barrier during non-heal pressure times of fights. Kind of confused why barrier was moved to mace 2, and interested to see how barrier uptime will be going forward.
