Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[MelvinK]

Although i dont have a lvl60 MCN, i can tell from the abilities and rotation that MCN gain significant dps from wildfire/cooldowns stacking. The shorter the fight is, the more dominant is this "opening" dps. So I'd say the DPS is sort of "inflated". I'd actually be more interested with average DPS past 6-10 min to reflect a proper raid encounter length.

Bard works the same way though.


I'd be curious to see how much of a % loss it is if you have your turret sing in comparision to bards -15% on songs.

I've load some parse with the hypercharge rotation, the DPS loss seems to be a bit higher (~17%), and don't forget that the bard have the FOE with no DPS loss and up DPS of mage/sumn/...

Also i've some things that bother me "again". The first one is "what type of damage we do" ? And the second one is on the opener you use ricochet, i've hear that ricochet is on one targe 400 potency i've not the skill yet so i don't know if it does 1 hit or 4 hit, if it's really that can it's be good to use reassemble on the ricochet ?

As I'm understand it right now, the turret makes up about 15% of your total dps (which is why mch below level 40 kind of suffers), so promoting it cuts about that much from your dps since the turret won't be contributing anymore.

Not sure if it's just me but does anyone else feel like their damage is low? I have tried gauss barrel, no gauss, and rapid fire dancing. I just do not feel like my numbers are there. Especially compared to warriors.

Same here, i still have no idea of what to do after my open.
What are you guys doing? 1-2-1-3-2-1 plus oGCD?

Also, my best crit was a 1.8k (lvl55 + full buffs+pot) Clean Shot. Does anyone know if Wildfire can crit?

Once you blow all your cooldowns its pretty simple as waiting for procs and using them. My main concern is the damage tanks are putting out being so close to our damage if not higher (WAR is disgusting right now) I am not sure if we need a buff or they need a nerf.

Same here. But especially on that "after the open" phase, i feel so damn weak waiting for procs. Maybe we need a buff.

Our damage type is piercing. Ricochet hits twice, once for 100 potency and then a second time for 300, split on targets. If one target, it hits twice for 100 + 300 on the target. Reassemble will not work due to the skill not being a weapon skill. Hope it helps

Do both hits crit together or individually? (Natural crits)
