McH 5 ammo no-gb/no-pre pull buff opener w/ bigger sustained burst

[RiceisNice]

The boss' enrage timer starts when he's pulled, not when you personally start attacking. Spending 7-8 seconds to buff yourself at the beginning of a pull is wasted dps which may not necessarily be made up with a stronger burst, especially when it can get tight with dps check.

As for re-loading the ammo thing, you may or may not want to delay your reload/quick reload usage depending on the fight. If I don't use my reload right after lead shot in A3S, it won't be up in time before the first wash away (and therefore I cannot prep my 1-2-1 shots to use on the go)

I used to think like this in A3 as well until i realized that quick reload is godsend. I started going back to 5 ammo opener. On phase transition, I start with my normal hot shot->lead shot, quick reload comes up right then, QR->split shot->(reload comes up here) go into normal reload rotation and have all my instant cast procs up for the wash away.

"# 9 - Im no expert in McH but i do like to think pragmactically, so saying that, I dont really see how using pre-buffs b4 pull will net you any beneficially gains in long run, unless there is a boss encounter that has mechanics or enrages which gives you a heads up in using your buffs 6 secs before me, then I honestly still cant think of the reason you want to sacrifice 4-6 secs of buff time (20- 5) of each buff you use prepull that doesnt get to be used in actual combat.


at least read that b4 sayin an example..might as well say oh this would no be usable for the first boss in fractal dungeon (the moth boss)..forgot havent ran ex in a while


*also i should have added that this is an alternative opener because every encounter is different* do i sound crazy for stating that? so this opener works best when you have the time like faust in a1s to fit the entire rotation vs standard andwouldnt get screwed by enrage(situational) or even oppresor opener

I am in no way saying your opener is better or worse than mine. I was simply replying to the person worried about using a 5 ammo opener on AS3. I have yet to try your opener so I won't comment on it.
