Hi there! MCH is my main and I play with relatively high ping, around 100-110. As much as I loved the class and it was easily the one I had the most fun on, I really had to play around with what I wanted to do so that ping didn't bother me. I can give more specific tips if needed, but here are a few things I do that really made a difference. I normally parse blue-purple and very seldom have the optimal comp (like, a DRG) so I feel pretty happy with my performance and never get frustrated on the class.
1) It's BiS anyway, but don't try and get high skill speed. The higher it is, especially with high ping, the more likely you are to not press a global as soon as it's off cooldown.
2) Never do more than 2 off globals in between globals. This was my biggest issue I had. I also use MOST of my off globals during Wildfire once Rapid Fire has worn off. I used to try and weave an off global in between each shot when under Rapid Fire, and with my ping, it often led to me pressing Richochet like 5 times and it still not going off. You still have plenty of time to use ALL needed abilities for Wildfire.
3) This last one is totally me, and I have never seen a guide suggest it, but I'm happy enough with my numbers that no one will convince me otherwise. But I DO NOT overheat the first Wildfire - using Flamethrower to go from 0 to 100 to enter Overheat then having all those buttons to press really just did not feel good, no matter how I did it. It felt like I was wasting time and with higher ping if something didn't go off, I'd get so frustrated it'd mess me up that run. So my opener is not anything I've seen online.
I'm willing to go into more detail if needed, but MCH is such a fun class I can't not play it, no matter what my ping is. :)
thank you friend, these tips will help me a lot, could you pass me your opener without the flame? I really do not like being so long stopped at the beginning of the fight
Sure! Here is what I currently use. You could make a further adjustment and put Rapid Fire after the first Heated Clean Shot if needed! For some reason, Reload was the one off global that never gave me an issue so I felt okay using it with Rapid Fire up.
The first Reload occurs before pull of course and then I hit Hypercharge about 5 seconds before the pull. With this, you'll end up using one Cooldown before your 2nd Wildfire, but it should line up where you are at 95 heat when you are ready to use Wildfire again. Even if you're not, Flamethrower can put you in heated status. :)
