Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

Another thing to consider about Gauss is there there may be an ilevel point where the 20% boost becomes more economical, as its 20% of a greater number. I've been experimenting with fulltime gauss and finding my performance improved, though I can't really show any parses right now and can't say for certain.

Using Feint when moving like a BLM would use Scathe is a handy tip.

Can you post a post Rapid Fire fix parse of someone doing more non GB? Also, how do so many people have problems moving with GB up? You have a whole second between attacks if you don't have a proc let alone if you do get a proc or have Rapid Fire up. Stop wanting to be babied. Seriously.

I had a 960 one I could have posted yesterday but here's a 945 I just did with the breakdown. Point being the consistency in AA DPS will give you a higher average than dependency on procs/crits in guass.

edit:Just saw your burst phase for your video in which you crit slug,clean, and richochet in a row before hitting the 3:30 mark so that's not exactly what I'd consider a normal parse. What do you average in regular circumstances?

Interesting. What opener are you using and when are you toggling into Gauss there, if at all?

I would like to remind you all that you don't need to buy and upgrade all the Asuran pieces. Try to mix up the armors and accesories in order to maximize the best status. For example, the Valerian Fusilier's Choker and Valerian Fusilier's Earrings are better than the Asuran ones.

Its pretty much the same as the one I posted a couple pages back except I keep gauss on prior to pull then take it off after the last slugshot before wildfire goes off.

General Question here, does anyone know if Gauss Barrel affects the potency of the turret damage as well? Also, I'm assuming turret damage is based off the Machinist's stats, is there a stat we can use to increase damage output of the turret while Gauss Barrel is in effect to make up for that which is lost from auto attacks? Just food for thought. I've heard food actually increases the damage output of the Turret.

I see. Testing things out myself now. Do you save Reload to time with your burst after the opener or just use it on CD?
