Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Myon88]

Basically you want rapid fire to be before the split-slug-split section, since that makes the most use out of the charges. Other weaponskills become instant with ammo procs, so all rapid fire does is make them fire faster. Split shot will always have a cast time no matter what, so using rapid fire to remove the cast time is a larger benefit.

You did that correctly too in your opener. The catch however is that it's not possible to start the Wildfire sequence with split-slug-split as the first 3 weaponskills, because as you can see, there's no way to fit rapid fire after lead shot and before wildfire without clipping the GCD. There's only room to weave 1 ability after lead shot, and it must be reload.

For the 1 less weaponskill, I'm not able to get that last Slug Shot/8th weaponskill in your Wildfire either. In your video it looks extremely close, and generally due to latency, weaponskills that hit the target when Wildfire has <1s left don't actually get added to the damage.

That said, if you're able to (maybe you have a really good 5 ms ping connection to the server), that means you can get an 8th weaponskill in the opener I listed too, so they are the same in that regard.

Actually, my gear (ilvl 253) is based on Crit (1.171) > Skillspeed (1.039) > Determination (256). I know, I m weird : P

I can put a 8th weaponskill without problems in my burst rotation. That means, let us take 8 weaponskills in total. 3 of them are under the effect of rapidfire (no cast, 1,5 GCD). 4 weaponskills are using ammunition, while 1 weaponskill must be casted.

1. Splitshot (Rapidfire) -> 1,5s GCD
2. Slugshot (Rapidfire, Ammunition) -> 1,5s GCD
3. Splitshot (Rapidfire) -> 1,5s GCD
4. Cleanshot (Ammunition) -> 2,24s GCD instead of 2,5
5. Slugshot (Ammunition) -> 2,24s GCD (see above)
6. Cleanshot (Ammunition) -> 2,24s GCD
7. Splitshot (Cast) -> 1,34s Casttime instead of 1,5s
8. Slugshot (Ammunition) -> 2,24s

Total: 14,8 seconds instead of 16 seconds

Wildfire is active for 15 seconds. Sure, it is very close, but as far wildfire is up, any skill count (in my opinion) ^^.
