hey there!
i just unlocked machinist and leveld it a bit on the palace of the dead, now it is level 41, and i only played on the palace of the dead with this job until floor 100 like 2-3 times, and should i keep the casting thing active everytime? i dont know if you do more damage with the casting thing or the no cast thing with normal attacks, also the turrets can i recover its health points in anyway? sometimes there are monsters that do those orange attacks and sometimes it get rekt by the mines on the floor lol
then can someone explain me what wildfire actually do? i still dont get it lol

I'd personally say keep it on just so you can get used to it, since most of the time you'll keep it up.Quote:

Wildfire is the main skill behind your opener, once you cast it 25% of any damage you do (from most skills) will start to add up and then once it's duration ends it explodes for that damage. For example lets say you cast wildfire and attack for 4000 damage during it's duration, your wildfire will then explode for another 1000 damage. There are a couple different openers that are here on the forums already that go a bit more in depth http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...achinist-Guide -

To add to previous discussions, in POTD Wildfire is really going to be used mostly for the boss. Most normal enemies will be going down much faster, so it is a bit of a waste.

Also if you cross classed Feint instead of quelling strikes that can be fired while gauss barrel is up without requiring any casting.Quote:
