As the only telesensitive class in the current version that is not positioned as a team assistant, the mechanic has a very simple cycle and super high burst damage, so it can allocate more attention to the dungeon environment and mechanics, improve the efficiency of land reclamation, and there is no random trigger combo mechanism for poets and dancers, the output is relatively stable, and the maintenance and wildfire reduce the variance of the direct burst, and the lower limit is higher. In general, it is a long-sensitivity profession that is very suitable for difficult newcomers.
Even so, the hard shortcomings of the mechanic are also very obvious. Due to the coherence of the cycle and the fact that there is no need to pursue position as a telesensitive, the mechanic has a relatively high APM (Actions Per Minute) even in the whole game class. It counts actions including each left-click, right-click, and keyboard stroke of the mouse), does not provide the team with any additional healing skills of the DPS attribute, and due to its stable output and lack of team-support skills, the lower output limit is also low.
Whether it's a hands-free flamethrower (with some skill, you can even breathe fire on the side of the road while driving a FF15 sports car) or a big drill that flies straight out, it's full of steampunk jingle romance and handsomeness.
Next, let's talk about the white moonlight in the hearts of all mechanics: post-style self-propelled dolls. Who doesn't love a cute and boxing Killer Queen (crossed out) Gundam? But there are a few things we need to be aware of when using a post-style self-propelled doll in real combat. Although the 6.2 version of the technical changes has fixed the duration of the post-style self-propelled figure on the scale to 12 seconds, this is only the number from the appearance of the post-style self-propelled figure to the complete disappearance of the post-style self-propelled figure.
In fact, for the team-support coverage, there will be a certain delay between "the time when the skill eats the group" and "the time when the skill damage takes effect" will itself be different depending on the skill, and this delay will fluctuate more differently depending on the network. In general, from the second when the post-style self-propelled puppet first appears, the first Iron Arm Fist is determined to eat Dansuke at about 5~5.5 seconds, and the Royal Collider at the end is determined to eat Dansuke at about 15~15.5 seconds, and the damage is determined to take effect after about 1.5~2 seconds. Therefore, weighing the pros and cons during the period needs to be decided in combination with the specific situation of the team and the auxiliary team.
Although mechanic is a relatively "boring" profession with a lower ceiling, this is also its advantage. Ensuring the stability of the output and reducing the thinking space required by the method can help the team get through the wasteland period faster. Some run-in in the wasteland development period can also be disassembled into numerical mathematical problems for machinists, and there are few other randomness-related uncontrollable factors that need to be considered, which is simply a necessary weapon for the difficult home of wasteland!
Perhaps this is the romance of the profession of a mechanic, where you don't need to think about superfluous things, you can confidently and stably get the perfect ending like a series of gears interacting with each other. The above is a brief introduction to FF14 mechanic, I don't know if you can make all the newcomers feel the charm of this profession?
