Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[zandervont]

My static is moving into A2S and I'm looking for tips on how to best approach that fight - ideal cooldown usage per wave and things like that. We're still wiping on wave 5/6 so it's still early days for us, but I'd like to be prepared.

I'm pretty much just dotting everything up with Lead Shot at the start of each wave, and then moving into single target/AoE depending on the priority target, am I forgetting anything obvious?

with 3 weeks of clear, what i do is:
1st wave just singletarget, they die fast enough.
2nd wave with aoebot, singletarget (using reload, reassemble for funs, singletargeting)
3rd wave aoebot, dotting the biggob that spawns far away, popping all cds except raging+pot, then Grenados once tanks have pulled everything on one stack, invig once sub 540. changing to a quick tp bot when 1-2 gobs left.
4th wave aoebot in the middle, singletarget on the walker. mpbot when next wave spawns for a quick refresh.
5th wave dot widows, once all cds are up, go ham on the first widow. getting some sweet 9-10k WF:s.
6th wave i throw hypermpbot, we focus the biggob, then aoebot and dot all, focus walker -> doll -> widow. I'm savin cds for next wave.
7th wave it'd be optimal to aoebot all 4 but tanks......... I go and cds -> dot all 4 -> focus on clearing one tank.
8th wave aoebot until biggobs are down, mpbot to the end of the wave. aoe if i can
9th wave aoebot until small gobs are down, mpbot if heals low. dot walker, doll and if tp is fine, widows too. using cds on Doll, and then whenever they are up.
I think thats all. I dont really like the fight but whatever.

I am going to try this out and see how it works for me. Small adjustments to cater to my group set up, but it all looks legit.
