Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[PlumpyMcduff]

Have you played Machinist and seen how stacks of ammo work?

Yes, my MCH is 60. I know how it works. I'm with this guy... especially the bit about attitude.

...It’s noteworthy that Cascadi’s opener waits between 2.5 – 5.0s & 5.0 – 7.5s longer to Reload & Quick Reload, respectfully. To crunch the potency difference of such a change is beyond me at the moment (though, it certainly results in some sort of negative impact by the time the next Reload rolls around)... so is the probability equation between Yuri's possible outcomes.

Then, you’d have to consider the different possible critical values… these two methods will have to be parsed. It’s also worth noting that Yuri’s ‘worst case’ scenarios are ahead in rotation at step 16. I’d be curious to see what we’re left with after 32 steps in both methods...

^I know you're the OP, but you throw up a lot of attitude; please try to refrain from this behavior moving forward...

...I'll reiterate this, your method is very fickle/unreliable as it's most effective under 1 minute & requires impeccable pull-timing... sure that doesn't truly affect the numbers but it's important to take into consideration, especially when the number-difference is practically negligible (2.99% or 74 potency).

And to reiterate my point...

Let me get this straight... you're insisting that he/we do all the math up front yet you're purposefully avoiding doing the math to account for a) slower Reload & b) buff-duration/wildfire variances.

Yet you like to take fragmented snapshots of data to backup that yours is superior which can't be proven in such a lens (though, you continue to act as though it is).

Your opener is just as random because you're guilty of the same. But we're not here telling you not to post your opener until the math is complete.

Perhaps we should? Your math isn't finished, delete your post until you're done.

See what I did?
