Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[Sevyn]

Actually i'm testing the damage after the last patch on a dummy, and i read a lot about the "Full Time GB".
But, actually if without GB i'm doing around 670 + 350 (Split Shot + AA), with the GB i'm doing around 850 (Split Shot).


So, what i wonder, is really better to go full GB instead of using it at every Reload / Wildfire?
Because the only big damage difference i see is with crits and ammunitions.

Edit: I'm 170 ilvl, using gear that give me a total of 583 crit rate and 516 det.

you are saying you get 350 DPS with AA? I haven't had the chance to login and test the new stuff out but i know they didn't change our auto attacks last night. In i177 gear with Ravex weapon i parsed 150 DPS with only auto attacks last night, so I'm not sure how you are getting 350 dps from auto attacks. Please stop spreading misinformation.

edit: my 150 AA parse was 3 minutes. Did this so I could see how much auto attacks actually do out of our overall dps.

Wrote the numbers as i saw them on the dummy, it's not misinformation.

 The striking dummy takes 637 damage.
You hit the striking dummy for 345 damage

From the battle log :\
p.s. never talked about DPS, just talking about the damage.
