Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Jollyy5]

I've been trying out Machinist, and now that I have reached level 35 and got Clean Shot I've noticed that latency may be making proc usage a bit difficult, as in when I use Slug Shot, I have to wait a moment to see if Clean Shot procs, which is fine most of the time, but is almost impossible to react to it when using Rapid Fire, as the icon lights up pretty much at the same time as the GCD is off if a proc happens.

Am I the only one having this problem or is Reload/Quick Reload supposed to negate this issue? My latency is a steady 126ms most of the time.

Clean shot procs should never be an issue.
After casting a slug shot you can just do a split shot when you're seeing the clean shot procs too late. Your clean shot proc has to be used within 10 seconds, not immediately.

You should be concerned more about split shot proccing slug shot. Here you're risking not consuming the slug shot proc when you should have. The animation of split shot is a bit shorter than slug shot, so that helps a little. For me the proc would appear when my GCD is is little under halfway. (@50ish ms) So in general that is fine.

That is without gaus barel like at your level. At 52 you'll learn and use gauss barel most of the time, so your split shot has a 1,5second cast time. The time to react on a proc is very short there. I would guess around 0.7 second (rough guess) for me.
