Machinist Ammo System.

[EdwinLi]

So what do you think about the idea that Machinist is getting a Ammo System?

As of now it seem interesting since it focus on managing the ammo you have with the Reload skill giving you 5 Ammos to use.

Guns skills for Machinist even work better if you have Ammo loaded such as the example they gave with

Skill A (without ammo) has 50% chance to have a 2nd shot and another 50% chance for a 3rd Shot.

Skill A (with Ammo) has a 100% chance to fire 3 shots.

There is also Quick Reload skill that instantly gives 1 ammo but that is just a emergency skill.

I like it.... I love all how technical and different the jobs are getting. Only two of them got new stances. And the rest of something unique about them. I'm curious to see what other buff/debuff abilities machinist has to contrast to bard. I feel only the bard and machinist kind of playing similar...but we have yet to see more of machinist. I like how the solved the bard dps problem with the new song. And if you don't care about high dps, you can move all you want.

I don't mind the new stance since it basically a Archery Stance.

As much archer characters have been given the image of a mobile shooting character, it nice they added something in that gives the Archer/Bard the ability to perform like a actual Archer and focus on a Archer's Precision when shooting their arrows at a target which also suits the theme of the skill improving the Bard's Damage by sacrificing mobility and blindy spamming arrows for a Position and Aim Stance.

On Machinist:

I hope the consequence of not using Ammo is not too great since the are hints that reload may take a while to recharge before Machinist can be at their optimal DPS rate again.

Yes, like the aim skills in FF T
It need longer than normal attacks, but for that it also do more damage. Making the archer more like a sniper ^^

Sounds interesting to me. Glad things are moving away from 123 123 4 123 123 4. of course the reload could always end up as the 4 in the 123 combo. :P

Too bad we can't throw our weapon when it's empty which would then explode and reapear full in our hands.

i heard them talking about bonus dmg for the next shot like the 1st shot goes off there a chance for the 2nd shot to proc off 1st then 3rd shot procing dmg off the first two i wonder if you can stack the dmg all the to the 6th shot( the fast reload) then charge it for Hugh dmg.

just gonna put this here. Since an actual archer isn't really what you think.
