Stupid question, but why isn't using GB, then firing off Richochet/Gauss Round, then turning GB off a thing? If GB is 30% damage but takes away Autoattacks which are 30% of our damage, then the only point of GB is to use those two skills, right? So why aren't we out of GB and when GR/Richochet are ready, flick GB on and use them and flick GB off? GB is a 10s recast and is oGCD right? I mean we usually have downtime between GC once we burn our main cooldowns anyway...

Are those available on the Marketboard? Saw them for the first time today and loved the look of them. It says "all classes", but is it crafted only?

They are bought with blue scrips, so you'll need to have a crafter leveled to access them.

If you're in the Maelstrom, the Lominsian Soldier's Boots are a fairly decent alternative as well. The other GCs have similar boots but only the Maelstrom one is black.

Just curious, but I've mostly been using Rend Mind and Dismantle on tank busters with boss fights. That's their main purpose right?
Or do you guys tend to use it soon as it pops?

Tank Busters. You'll mitigate much more damage on a big hit and some small ones than just a bunch of small ones.

The auto attack total is more around 20% of your dps from the parses I've seen.

Hello guys! I would like to take MCH seriously again, as I really like its concept and playstyle. However, I feel like I'm pretty bad-ish.. Specially as to when to use wildfire. I managed to do 950 dps at i185, i180 weapon, wonder if that's on the low side, which I'm quite sure. Do I just keep on practicing, or am I just hopeless hahaha, thanks!
