Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Mickiiy]

Hey guys im having problems with achieving 10k + with 235 weapon and 230 ilvl on a dummy. I dont know if my parser is playing up or im doing something wrong.

My opener:
GB on > 2 ammo
HE>B4B>RS>HS>HC (Pot)>LEAD shot>reload>split shot>WF>slug Shot>reassemble>QR>Clean shot>Rapid fire > gauss round>split shot>ricochet>slug shot>head gaze>split shot>blank>clean shot>GB off> slug shot > split shot > WF detonate.

I manage to squueze evwrything in before wf goes off but my WF only range from 8500-9500 on a training dummy.

My stats:
1222 dex
915 crit
401det
803 SS

Can someone help with solve the issue because im clueless atm.

That seems like an appropriate number to me. You have a pretty massive amount of SS compared to Det so that probably explains why it seems on the low side. It's going to push your wildfire numbers down since your weaponskills and abilities will individually be hitting for less.

Hey guys .

New Machinist reporting for duty !

anyone willing to share their cross hotbar for MCH ?

ive been trying some things out but i am curious wwhat yours look like .

anyone please ?

Whats the ideal SS should i aim at ? Most the gear i have carries a chunk of SS. I guess ill have to work something out.

[Myon88]

The 'ideal' SS is simply 'as low as possible' since Crit and Det are generally stronger stats for us. That's why most of the best in slot lists you'll see prioritize the pieces of gear with Crit and/or Det.

I find with minimal SS that I clip so much during my burst phases, dunno if it's my connection or what but my damage over 3 mins is higher with a tiny bit of SS to take the edge off.

[Myon88]

Yeah that's why I say 'generally', most people seem to feel that a little bit is helpful to make everything flow a bit more smoothly and what have you. It certainly doesn't hurt, and the gap in statweight between SS and Det isn't that huge anyway.

Thankfully, there's usually a few pieces every tier where we have 'no choice' but to pick up a bit of SS anyway (midan body/lore pants/midan ring), so it tends to work out just nice for us.

anyone please ?

Since you asked so nicely. There are a couple things I might move around, but I don't play MCH much so meh. You may notice I don't have potions, LB, etc there....I use hotbar 8 and the L2+R2 to call up that hotbar. In addition, I try to keep things in the same place(s) as my BRD hotbars, to reinforce muscle memory.

Macros are for setting Rook underneath me and setting Bishop underneath a targetted mob, respectively.

How do you guys handle cooldown usage on A8S during the transition to the final justice/gavel phase?

The dilemma of course is that you have everything up for an opener level wildfire, but if you pop everything and then get chosen for regulators ~5 seconds later when he finishes casting final justice, you're pretty boned since you have nothing left and a useless wildfire ticking on the boss. I suppose you might be able to do it with just vanilla 1-2-3 weaponskills and your damage buffs still ticking, but it seems close - I haven't seen the phase enough to try it for myself.

On the other hand you can play it safe and wait I guess, but it's a DPS loss since you sit there twiddling your thumbs waiting for him to assign debuffs. If you get FP3 then you can do a proper opener, and if you get FP1 you just have to suck it up and use some cooldowns on the regulator.

Neither option feels particularly good to me though.

I was checking out the gear of good players and I noticed that some players opt for Primal/Aug Primal rings instead of Midas/Aug Primal rings. What's the reason for that?
