Why is Machinist DPS SOOOO BAD?

[Fannah]

I see Flamethrower as the only oGCD tool to go in overheat mode without using a GCD nor an ammunition as it's the only oGCD skill providing heat to overheat (so we can Reload before).

So you can be at 80 heat, use Hot shot for the bonus so you're at 90, then use Rapid Fire + Reload -> Flamethrower -> Wildfire

Of course, I also see it for going from 0 to 50 heat quickly as it's still the equivalent of a 150 potency move, which is not that bad the time to come back. It's CD is 60, as the whole combo for Wildfire is with Reassemble/Ricochet, etc.

So you use Barrel Stabilizer when available, as it's more efficient than Flamethower for this and Flamethrower can be used at this moment as oGCD to go overheat. And 60sec later, every cooldown will be back, so you will do it again and use Flamethrower this time to get your heat back.
