Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[Cloacers]

I have terrible latency that's been making me realize that MCH may not be the class for me, and a glut of skill speed makes this even worse.
Is there anything I can do to make the class play a little easier considering I've already spent 6 weeks of esoterics on it, or am I stuck in gcd clipping purgatory? I play on ps4 so it isn't possible for me to grab wtfast or anything similar. Should I try and figure out a less optimal opener that suffers less from gcd clipping and input delay or should I pack up my antiquated ferdinand and shed a barrel of tears?

I would say, that you should just adjust for the latency. Outside of Wildfire there isn't much that can greatly reduce your DPS as MCN.

With the changes to QR, you will almost always have a Slug/Clean proc to weave in your CD skills if the latency causes issues seeing the proc early, or even if you have bad animation clipping of your skills.

Have you checked to make sure its just latency and not a connection drop? Also are you playing on WiFi or do you have a wired connection?
