FFXIV Machinist Changes Mean Buffs for the Job in 6.3

There are some major buffs available for the Machinist job in FFXIV, thanks to some buffs that came up in the 6.3 patch. The Battle System section in the patch notes went over all of the details. To go along with the seven action and trait changes, there is also a new addition: Dismantle.

The 6.3 FFXIV Machinist changes mean the job now learns Dismantle at level 62. When used, the enemy it hits will deal 10% less damage for 10 seconds. This adds utility to the class.

The other skills getting buffs are Gauss Round, Heated Clean Shot, Heated Slug Shot, Hypercharge, Marksman’s Mastery, Ricochet, and Wildfire. Across the board, the changes help with making the job more powerful and assisting with possible latency.

Here are the full 6.3 changes for the Machinist in FFXIV from the official patch notes.

• Dismantle (Level 62) – Lowers target’s damage dealt by 10% for 10 seconds.
