Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

That's correct.

Well, according to the japanese forums (thanks to @kiyamashuuichi), here's a full buff Wild Fire (lvl56 MCH) dmg:

Gauss Barrel ON = 1900 to about 2000
Gauss Barrel OFF = about 2100-2200

Now i'm confused if it's better to do an opening with GB or not :/

So I did some tests in game again as well as creating a rough spreadsheet of the first 20 seconds of an opener, and yeah, Wildfire basically does more damage without Gauss Barrel even if you cancel Gauss Barrel after the first Clean Shot. The discrepancies in the opener starting with Gauss Barrel and without were taken from 20 samples, but I guess RNG acts up. And so, it's not worth hard casting Gauss Barrel either.

Here's the spreadsheet with the math done: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing



): Gauss Barrel is basically useless other than for AoE pulls.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to extend the GB openers to 20 seconds, GB is worth using only until Clean Shot after all for higher overall DPS in the first 20 seconds but not higher Wildfire damage.
