Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

Stupid question, but why isn't using GB, then firing off Richochet/Gauss Round, then turning GB off a thing? If GB is 30% damage but takes away Autoattacks which are 30% of our damage, then the only point of GB is to use those two skills, right? So why aren't we out of GB and when GR/Richochet are ready, flick GB on and use them and flick GB off? GB is a 10s recast and is oGCD right? I mean we usually have downtime between GC once we burn our main cooldowns anyway...

The auto attack total is more around 20% of your dps from the parses I've seen.

They are bought with blue scrips, so you'll need to have a crafter leveled to access them.

If you're in the Maelstrom, the Lominsian Soldier's Boots are a fairly decent alternative as well. The other GCs have similar boots but only the Maelstrom one is black.

Just curious, but I've mostly been using Rend Mind and Dismantle on tank busters with boss fights. That's their main purpose right?
Or do you guys tend to use it soon as it pops?

Tank Busters. You'll mitigate much more damage on a big hit and some small ones than just a bunch of small ones.

Hello guys! I would like to take MCH seriously again, as I really like its concept and playstyle. However, I feel like I'm pretty bad-ish.. Specially as to when to use wildfire. I managed to do 950 dps at i185, i180 weapon, wonder if that's on the low side, which I'm quite sure. Do I just keep on practicing, or am I just hopeless hahaha, thanks!

I'm honestly not sure on numbers, being on PS4 I can't parse. What I can say is, wildfire is your biggest burst skill, and as such can be used basically whenever it's off CD, though youll generally need to prep for it a bit when it comes up. It takes some practice to get all the skills in the time window, but when you pull it off and see that big chunk fly off the enemy healthbar, it's so worth.

Make sure you are doing the correct rotation first. And then just keep practising on a dummy until you can do the rotation with literally closed eyes.

Ok who bumped the old thread?

[UnstablePersonality]

Well I'm about to bump it again, any chance of this being updated on proper ways of how to do the melds?
