    Pretty self explanatory no?
    Not in the least, that's just like any ability tooltip it doesn't mention when to use reload in relation to it, it doesn't say to use a 1-2-1-3-2 combo when you do, it doesn't say to use it when you have slugshot procced. All of which are important when it comes to a MCH's rotation any lost GCD is less widfire damage and less wildfire damage reduces your dps drastically. If you do really bad you've messed up ever single one of your CD's that sync up with each other resulting in even more loss of damage.

    99% of the playerbase didn't figure it out until smarter people told them how (myself included).

    And sometimes, you ask a question in the right place and people just don't answer it. *shrug* I try to do the best I can, but I know I'm not totally efficient. I'm definitely not a 200dps type of person, but I try not to be too much of a drag.

    The tooltips usually require ability to follow logicpaths and experimenting to see what works best.

    There is no logic coming to the MCH skillset for non-geniuses.

    You get an ability and say "Where the hell do I put this" then go running to Youtube and the forums in a state of desperation and bewilderment ^^

    My tooltips say Cleanshot at 200 potency. Ricochet is 100 to the target and then 200 distrubuted around nearby enemies.

    So Ricochet is better for AoEing then? Wrong.... Hits one target mutliple times if not surrounded.
