Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

Does gauss barrel effect lead shots dot damage?

Also on the note of turning it off when fishing for procs, if I have HG and such coming up should I stick with GB anyways?

Gauss Barrel does enhance Lead Shot's DoT ticks.

I don't personally toggle GB in those moments, but I'd guess you'd want to keep GB for the Head Graze, yes, and then toggle off right after?

I have a quick question of my own:
The trait for Increased Action Damage I states that abilities deal 10% more damage, and the Increased Action Damage II says it increases those by 20%. With both of those traits acquired, isn't the overall damage increase to abilities 30%?

I don't believe they stack but after googling some I couldn't find a definitive answer so who knows.

Only the highest takes effect.

I wonder if that is intended or if that is a bug.

Much like how SMN's Raging Strikes does not affect the pet, I would assume intentional.

WF does say damage you inflict which certainly isn't your pet.

WF is not a damage buff though. But yea I can agree with the description because it says "you" and "most of".

So is stance dancing again the optimal way for best DPS?

random note, hypercharge resets your turrets auto timer on cast and on expiration
