Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Risaka]

Machinists, how do you guys make use of the 2nd Wildfire that comes up?

When I try out the Stone, Sky, Sea dummy it seems to be better not holding cooldowns like BFB and Hawk's Eye together for the 2nd Wildfire as it will result in lower dps, or am I wrong and I should hold out BFB and Hawk's Eye for 2nd Wildfire? Rapid Fire comes back during that time as well but I will not have any Reload/Reassemble up and definitely not Hypercharge.

It entirely depends on your raid situation. For the dummy itself, it is better to wait for Reload to line up with Wildfire, Rapid Shot, BfB, and Hawk's Eye. Should only be waiting roughly an extra 30 seconds and your Hypercharge should be ready also. Only thing that won't be ready is Raging Strikes. For times you do not get that luxury. Just make sure BfB and Hawk's Eye are both up before using Wildfire/Rapid Shot and try to have some oGCD's ready for it.

That is what I do at least, unless someone wants to jump in and be like "Err gahd no what are you doing!? Stahp!!"

For my second wf on a dummy i just usually wait for hyper charge so that means reapply lead shot once more and then next time u use your hypercharge and then 2nd WF. and dont hold back on any cds higher than 60 seconds but hold on the rest. untill 2nd wf.
