Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[RiceisNice]

For me right now I am using it on CD

But yes, I'm contemplating on the 2x recovery speed for TP/MP. Back when I was a BRD there isn't a lot of times where a BV'd Paeon/Ballad is critical other than the time when things go south and your WHM has to die, then yes, double'd MP regen can be critical benefit.

I've never used BV on habit with the exception of T13, paeon after the first shadow goes down. Beyond that, I've always saved it for incase of emergencies, it's just not good enough to use on foe req considering the 4 minute cooldown.

Hypercharge on the otehr hand, is still considered one of our dps cooldowns. If we try to save it for a clutch moment like battlevoice, it's a fairly decent dps loss over a period of time. If we pop it every two minutes, we won't have it on hand for when we do need it.

Oh hello there little ant *squish*

It should be in the opener most definitely but after that you should start making calls based on the status of the fight. Its not always about vomiting up the largest number possible as soon as its ready. Beating the enrage timers is something, yes but holding back a small percentage of DPS for a better time or to assist in another phase or mechanic is just as crucial but it shouldn't be held indefinitely (Like a new mechanic is coming up within 30 seconds or something like that, not the full length of the CD)

well RiP stance dancing. Doesn't work anymore as of todays hotfix patch.

[Zorzi]

So is full time Gauss now best practise?

Which I'm personally fine with and saw coming. If they wanted stance dancing they wouldn't give that ability a stupid cast time. Still hoping for a buff to the dmg GB gives tho. . .

Yeah it was most likely inevitable, but this is still somewhat of a nerf to a class that's already behind.

[Ephier]

Welp, no more rapid fire stance dancing.

In a raid situation, the use of hypercharge after the opener, should be called and discussed with the raid. Since our damage is considered low end, the 5% buff you probably want lining up with your top dps's burst as remember this is a raid buff, that 5% is for everyone.

I'm wondering the same question. Especially for the Wildfire situation.

rip mch burst dmg hell rip GB in general since that was the only way to use gb without it heavily affecting dps in fights. now you got to find a phase where you can cast it before boss is attackable or leave it off entirely now
