Machinist - Attachments - Please don't make it like the Mudra System

[Schark]

According to a recent interview with Yoshi-P, this should not be the case. Here is an excerpt for it and I'll through a link in at the bottom.

What happens when you install an attachment?
Y: When you have an attachment installed, there will be a reservoir that generates charge prior to firing.

Will this be kind of like casting time for a magic spell?
Y: Yes. The power will be increased with the delay, but if you move in the middle of a charge, the skill will be cancelled. Therefore, when you do install an attachment, you should plan to attack from a more stationary position.

I'm not normally into DPS but MCH has piqued my interest. If it worked anything like the mudra system, I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

Thank you for that link! I am now more excited for this expansion.

This sounds a lot like doing the casting for Holy, where moving or being hit will interrupt it and you have to start over, but once it's cast you can move and the spell still takes 2 seconds to fire independently.

So it sounds like you might cast a "charge" from a static position multiple times and then fire. Essentially the difference between firing at close range at lower power vs sniping something with high accuracy and higher power.

Almost sounds like a Megaman charge shot but with movement restrictions. Or not. Either way, I'll be interested to read more on the job as the information is released as part of the build up to HW.
