I just wanna clear up something I noticed:

New amplifier attachment is shit, pets dont time their nukes so they dont even try to magic burst, it just now CAN magic burst IF it happens to cast at the right time
Actually, automatons could always magic burst in the past if their spells happened to land at the right time. In fact, amplifier is *not* shit, you just haven't given it a chance. Here's what it does:
  1. Skillchain goes off. Automaton with Amplifier 'notices.'
  2. Automaton begins casting nuke with ridiculous degree of fast cast.
  3. Magic Burst lands with crazy boosted damage.

The fast cast is what makes the difference. Automatons can actually use this to magic burst off skillchains that the automaton closed. I'm not certain, but I think it also ignores certain recast timers to an extent.

Against meatier opponents with more HP, this is pretty fun to use. I was able to get multiple magic bursts off with headyartifice/chainspell active too.
