If that is how you are playing Machinist, I completely understand you might be frustrated with low numbers.

Depending on RNG and if R/QL are on CD that (1,1,1,1,1,1) can very well happen. Do you even play this job? I'm very confused as to why people who don't play MCH are coming in here and telling the people who do play MCH that they're wrong.

I have been playing Machinist since early release launch. 1111111 is very rare if you are managing everything properly. You have to manage cooldown-weaving and not just throwing a cooldown when it procs. You also need to manage you ammo instead of again, just throwing it when it comes off. Its not a PUSH ALLLLLL THE BUTTONS class.

Incorrect.

There is NO situation where holding Quick Reload and Reload actually increases your DPS. Both of them should be hit pretty much as soon as they come off of cd. You can hold your other buffs to coincide with Reload, but the other way around is a straight DPS loss.

This can (and will) be the case after your initial burst. There's no reason your quick reload should ever be off cooldown, and reload should always be used when it comes up save for specific burst scenarios or refreshing hot/lead shot

/rolls eyes....

First, we've ALL been playing MCN since lauch... all 1 week of it. You're not special.

Second, there's absolutely zero skill involved in making your combo proc. "Weaving" cooldowns between into your combo doesn't force procs. Saving Quick Reload for when you get a natural Slug proc will, in fact, guarantee a Clean Shot proc. But guess what, you're still waiting on that first natural proc. Which brings us right back to our "1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1..." nonsense.
