Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

ok i just hit 52. and i started working and burst rotation. mind u that im still missing 2 more skills. so heres my question for MCH. after burst rotation. when QR pops should i save that for when Slug proc? QR then proc slug to proc Clean shot? or em I just suppose to use it when it pops even in split shot so i can proc slu shot? question about WF and reload but Aiurily answered that, so basickly use them when they are up. is there any buff should i hold to line up or just pop them as they come up with the exception of QR? sorry for the noob question but i want to threat MCH similar to my MNK and thats getting better at it. thank you.

Use QR on cooldown. Don't try and fish for slug procs so you can get a clean shot; just use it.
The only buff you're going to hold onto is Blood for Blood because it has a 10 second shorter cooldown than Hawk's Eye.

Hey quick question, cuz Im not sure what this is about since Im only lvl 58

About Ricochet, it says its a 100 potency strike on target and 200 split on nearby enemies.
But what happens if there are none? Its a simple 100 potency strike? or it becomes a 300 potency?
Also what happens if there are 2 targets? is it a 100 potency on target and 200 on the one at its side? or is it 200 on target and 100 to the one at its side?

That 200 becomes a seperate attack which hits the main target if there's only 1 target (so 100 potency on the first hit, 200 on the 2nd). I believe if there's 2 targets it'll split the 200 potency between the 2 so 100 x2 for the first and 100 for the second but I might be wrong on that.

ok awesome dont hold anything back and pop them as they come up got it with the exception of B4B. so that pretty much i pop together at the same time or weave the 2 in between GCDs? or pop HE/B4B together then GCD?

If you use Hypercharge, while having a Rookie Turret you apply 5% Increased Physical Damage Taken or if you use Hypercharge on a Bishop Turret it applies 5% Increased Magic Damage Taken instead.

That 200 becomes a seperate attack which hits the main target if there's only 1 target (so 100 potency on the first hit, 200 on the 2nd). I believe if there's 2 targets it'll split the 200 potency between the 2 so 100 x2 for the first and 100 for the second but I might be wrong on that.

Initial hit on the main target is 100 potency. Then the 200 potency is split between any targets around it still alive, including the main target.

Thus, if 1 target only (the main one) then that target will take 100 + 200 potency damage. If 2 targets, main target will take 100 + 100 potency and 2nd target will take 100 potency. If 3, then 1st target is 100 + ~67, 2nd target is ~67 and 3rd target is ~67. And so on. It's overall damage won't really increase regardless of how many targets there are, and will do more damage per target the less targets there are.
