honestly, it's like...
i sort of think of my other classes (rdm, smn) as having 'hot' and 'cold' phases. cold is where you are building up to your big burst of damage, or waiting to do it again.
like standing there spamming ruin - cold. popping dreadwyrm trance or then demi-bahamut - hot. building up mana as a rdm - cold. melee attacks then verholy/verflare - hot.
you switch back and forth between hot and cold, right? i think that's a nice rhythm for battle. but...
well i've now played enough mch to remember why i disliked playing mch
i really really hope a retooling of mch happens in shadowbringers. i know it's somewhat unlikely but i can hope.
mch right now is too much like sitting at a frustrating slots machine, and if you don't line things up EXACTLY, your dps just takes too much of a toll, so the pressure is to line things up PERFECTLY, which is incredibly tiresome when dealing with random procs.

things that the steroid shots into my shoulder was supposed to do:
-decrease pain
things that they've actually done:
-really spectacular acne breakout
-moments every so often where i swear my brain does the like printer-out-the-window vine "oh i thought you meant anxiety" "WHY WOULD I SAY TOSS ME ANXIETY"
"OK I'M HERE I GOT MY GUN" "janine it's ANNIE get your gun, not -" "GOT IT ANYWAY" "but janine, it's -" "I PUT A FLAMETHROWER ON THE END OF IT" "....janine..." "IT'S GREAT"
also i can't fucking remember mch rotation for s h i t #ffxiv
i don't know why youtube recommended this to me, but i approve https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOxWVubWkfU "Furret on an Escalator for Another Few Hours"
omg i think the amphibians in the backyard are going to bully me into learning herpetology thru sheer numbers
one big lad has made his hidey hole home right by the door, and i saw him this morning
and just now when taking the dog out, i saw TWO MORE toads just hoppin' across the porch with no care in the world
idk if the big lad is the same as this morning, but i did catch him and asked if he would like his portrait taken and he gave me SEVERE STINK EYE before wriggling and hopping away
my working dog is very good at her job that she has trained for: pre-wash for the dishwasher #hollypls #dogsofmastodon
i rose to a new level of salt, there
not only did i look at my contacts to blacklist that whm, i actually passed along the name to my guildmates to do the same lol
this is the fuckin fanciest ice cream cup i've ever eaten
definitely saving the container, it's really nice sturdy plastic. should be able to drill a drainage hole in it no problem
or maybe i'll figure out some low-light houseplant that wants like pebbles/sand to drain into? that way i can show off pretty stratified layers
incidentally the questline opening up ninja is a bit funny after you've done stormblood
"we come from a faraway land, called doma -"
"oh yeah! i've been there!"
"what"
"came, liberated, fought a primal, y'know, all in the day's work around here. lovely place"
"wh... but...."
"you ever thought of helping the reconstruction? they're getting it looking great these days!"
i had forgotten that the ninja storyline in #ffxiv (30 to 50 at least) is just "this is what happens when the goth kid starts hanging out with the theater kids, and it all goes wrong"
