Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Themis]

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.

But can be sped up through the use of OGCD skills, so obviously it is a problem that can be solved. Similar to how bards have that nonsense going on with straight shot.

That is because using an oGCD ability forces a position/character refresh server side (outside of its normal 2 tick or 3 tick refresh rate.)

Does anyone have images of what the i210 Machinist Boots look like dyed? Any colour will do, but I'm really curious what it looks like with metallic silver dye.

That is hard to find since the boots are not BiS and people are not putting their upgrade item towards it.

Yeah I suppose it's a longshot - I think I could see myself doing it though.. I might be all serious business in raids, but that glamour I even have matching minions and bardings for all my outfits.

Hey guys I have a question on a4s. Regarding tp/mp torrent management.

1st transition Tp, 2nd tp, 3rd tp... Then after the first doll explode on the 4th leg, I m planning to mp regen till the dolls spawn again. Then mp again during the last transition.

However. It seems really tough for whm to deal with the massive mp loss after the first doll on the second leg. Should I mp promo there?

I don't have mp to promo too and we need to kill the 3rd leg asap.

[Aiurily]

it really depends on your strategy

in my group we let 3rd leg's straf doll cast wirbelwind, but we kill the 4th leg's 2nd straf doll. i play hypercharged mana until discoid's fracture hits, then i swap to playing TP and i sac. before that, i play no mana at all on a clean run.

your healers should be able to deal with the mana loss without help from you, though. if not, it's on them, and you playing mana is simply catering to their deficiency. other than the hypercharge mana in 4th leg->last phase transition, stopping after discoid's fracture, (on a clean run, again) i never play mana again.

Thanks Aiurily for the response. We are trying again tonight. ^^;

stuff

Gonna bother you for another a4s-related q:
How's your cd-usage overall?
we've not gotten to 4th one yet cleanly due to stuff takin place over raids but ye..
on 2nd leg, do you wait until quarantine for WF-combo?
do you need to use cds for small dolls (if you are assigned to one)?

Hi Aiurily, you seem to know a lot about whm's, may I ask what form of regen you would suggest after each doll and whatkind of healing you would expect with that kind of mp assuming no mp regen from a mch, considering this statement "your healers should be able to deal with the mana loss without help from you, though. if not, it's on them,".
