Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

Also meant to add a way to see the latency is look at your ticks. Like wildfire, lead shot. The numbers will jump from say 7 to 6 then back to 6, then count down.
Stupid mobile phone and no edit button

LOL i have the same issue! That always happen, the dot stay 7 then 6 then back to 7 then 5. . .

@ Elizabeth

If you have high latency try this opener.

Use QR to start with 4 Ammo

HE》B4B》HS》Hyper+RS》LS》Split》WF 》Slug+Reload》Reasemble+Clean》GR+Rapid》Split+Rico》Slug+Head 》Clean+Blank》Split》Slug 》Clean

QR goes on there somewhere too to get a final clean but it wont be within WF.

Question, what's an average amount of damage you should typically be doing with Wildfire? Disregarding the burst type opener, but just a real fight average you should be looking at. about 3-5k? or more? I guess item level would have an impact on this but lets just say 170-190, an average count.

Honestly if you don't screw up your rotations/CD usage your first wildfire should hit like 7-9k, your 2nd wildfire will always be weaker so it'll normally be 3-5k, and the next one should be just as strong as the first at 7-9k.

And when I say 3k I mean very near to 4k like 3.7k+

Good guide here!

Not sure OP is still perusing this post but it looks like some of the OP is incorrect in the AOE section:

Game Version: 3.01

Introduction

AoE
Case 1: Hot Shot into Grenado Shot
Let's set the GCD for Machinist to be around 2.4 seconds.
The TP use for Hot Shot isn't included as we start at 1000 TP; Grenado Shot costs 160 TP so,
TP: 80-240-560-720-880-1040-1200
60 TP per 3 seconds regen, 6 GCDs (6 * 2.4/3 = 4.8 rounded down to 4 * 60 = 240)

Looks like you missed one grenado in the calculation. 240tp next jump would be 400tp. This will add one more grenado (total of 7) in to initial calculation. Should make quite a difference in the total output.

sorry if this seems like a silly question, but I have a few problems that I need help with
I have started practicing my opener and I need some advice, after my opener I go spilt, slug and clean shot until reload and reassemble are available, now my problem is after I use reload/reassemble, should I just keep using split, slug and clean until reload and reassemble are ready to use???

I assume you are talking about your basic rotation. Read the following section:
