Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

MCH seems to sustain and burst a bit higher, just saying~

my experience is different, with bard sustaining more dps in my own baseline parses (gear difference being accounted for) though disembowel is a bigger increase for machinists, since like 25.5% of a bard's damage is dots/flaming arrow lol (vs machinist where leadshot is around 11.5%, then wildfire is around 7.5%; though wildfire can mostly also be buffed by disembowel indirectly, so really, it's only 12% or so of a MCH's damage that isn't affected by disembowel, with the extra 0.5% from leadshot dot damage in wildfire)

their burst is sort of apples and oranges, too. wildfire is a big delayed burst, bard has immediate burst (ie - instant kill the alarums in a1 savage without needing to bait resins lol)

I agree with this. I do think that MCH's are better for progression since they can maintain resources better but I'm fairly certain once we start seeing speedclears BRD will be on top.

Also account for how rediculous BRD is to sustain high - that being said, i can sustain 1.2kish with both but sustaining it with b ard is so insane

Also, lol 12% on leadshot, i always knew it wazs that high but when you think of a single dot being 12% of your damage.. lol, holy shit
