Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

That entire parse is lucky crits and procs. I would not use that as a base line.

Wouldn't that apply to most parses posted recently?

The parse I posted from Viola Endstasis has him sitting at ~1010 dps without Wildfire or the 977 dps parse from Zetsu Tai 2 pages back can be cherry picked with a insane proc or crit rate as well, since I doubt people will share parses with poor performance or bad luck.

Which is why I want base line parses. From what I am currently seeing MCH DPS can fluctuate from 880~950 with out party food or pots. I am more interested seeing what the class can do at its worse rather than its best.

Hey, nice parse! Mind sharing what your opener was, and if that parse was with GB active or only active during burst? Also, was Heartbreak being used?

GB only active during burst and no heartbreak.

Rotation goes

Raging strikes & Blood for blood
Hotshot
Hawks Eye & Hypercharge
leadshot
Rapidfire & Reload
split shot
Wildfire & Gauss barrel(In that order)
Slug shot
Head graze
Split shot
Reassemble
Clean shot
Ricochet & Gauss Round
Slug shot
Blank
Cleanshot
Gauss off & Quick Reload
Splitshot
Slugshot
Wildfire goes off

I've hit a 2k burst with that rotation but normally goes for 1600-1900


Also 989 in 3.5 mins

Nice i believe i mentioned GB should be on for Split - Slug - Split - Clean - Slug - Clean earlier and i think OP told me no, nice to see that the number back up my thoughts.

I must be really unlucky then, because in most of my parses while my opening damage is fantastic same as everyone elses, afterwards my damage goes down the drain fast as i pray for procs until our burst comes back up. Confused as to how you guys are keeping your damage up there afterwards.

Are....people really being this ridiculous? As soon as a MCH gets semi-decent parses people say it's unrealistic and start comparing it to the 1300 DRGs (which I haven't seen) that are also unrealistic?

Can you deny that the parse is cherry picked, full of lucky crits and procs? If so you not watching the same video I'm watching.

Can you say that every other parse for every other class you've seen is not? People are only quoting the numbers from other people's parses but aren't actually showing videos or anything. Regardless this person is NOT the only one to get a MCH parse is the upper 900s.

Guys, guys... the issue is the inconsistently in the DPS.

The RNG causes it to flux too severely. Can't you see?

Yes, they're capable... but you need to be absolutely lucky. And when you're not, well the Job gets boring quick (1-1-1-1-1-1-1...) or it makes GB too fickle (which I don't think it should be that fickle) which' poor design.

If they give us more ammo (QR>15/R>45) or up Split Shot proc chance to 75%, that would almost entirely fix the Job.

It'd fix everything except for MP/TP regeneration's being turret-gated & the blandness of the debuff-mechanisms (e.g. Dismantle/Rend Mind.

Adjusting the power-curves for Split-Slug-Clean (and their proc's) slightly would help too but it's less essential if being granted more ammunition.

^ point I am trying to make. People posting lucky parses showing what the class can do at peak instead of posting what their "normal" DPS is. This gives people inflated idea of what the class can actually do when in reality you have to be quite lucky to pull that off.
