Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

Might want to check the parse if it is detecting Wildfire. Your burst DPS should be higher than that. Your DPS looks pretty good to me. I roughly hit that much also under those conditions. Procs and crits heavily determine it, but on a really good parse I can stay past 1100+.

Wildfire was accounted for, but don't know if it factored into the parse or not. I did notice a couple of times Wildfire went off and my dps didn't budge, which makes no sense. I don't have a ton of luck with Wildfires. I think my highest burst was in A4 where I hit 8.5k with no food or pots and a drg. On one of my parses today, I hit like 5200 on the opener, despite a perfect rotation and then later in the same fight, I messed up a bit and hit 6900. It just seems very random for me. I've been practicing multiple opening rotations, but without pots or anything else, I can't seem to break more than 7.2k with with most around 6.8k.

Guess I'll just keep practicing. Next time I'll try it with some food and maybe I'll head to Tailfeather so I can use my chocobo for the dex buff.

Ive noticed that using pingzapper made my opener alot smoother. Before I had pretty often those casts that get interrupted or start a bit late but now i'm consistently getting good WFs

My ping is usually between 15-30 ms, sometimes hitting about 50. I can't get much better than that (and I wouldn't want to pay to do so).
