Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

Dont forget that with the Reassemble, this devalues crit.

Didn't they rework Crit to also increase the damage of your crits? Det is probably still strongest but crit probably has more merit than you're giving it credit for I think

[MrSmiley]

does anyone know if gauss barrels 20% damage increase works on lead shots dot?

Not sure, I am just talking about crit chance. With Reassemble, machinist already have a certain base crit rate, which in itself.. devalues crit.
Now if crit rate increases crit damage, thats something else entirely.

Not sure if it's just me but does anyone else feel like their damage is low? I have tried gauss barrel, no gauss, and rapid fire dancing. I just do not feel like my numbers are there. Especially compared to warriors.

Yesterday at 52 I managed to hit 1.5k on a gelato outside Dusk Vigil, but this was a gauss barrel reassembled cleaner shot (quick reload on slug shot to ensure the proc). But so far in dungeons monks and black mages have far outparsed me with turret damage included.
I'm hoping it's just getting used to the rotation or that things will improve at 60.

Wasn't it confirmed that parsers are broken for the new jobs? I wouldn't trust them for now.

Also i'd like to point that we don't have reliable, controlled variables for the parses even if the ACT is accurate. People been complaining MCN damage is weak are all based on anecdote evidences or uncontrolled dummy testings. So, the distorted impression somehow spread and evolved into "facts" and its proclaimed as real on the internet since everyone is talking abt it. Ideally, we need to have an equivalent weapon for both BRD and MCN, both having the most optimal rotation etc.. to have a good comparison. I

It's been updated to include the new jobs.

[MelvinK]

It has been updated for new jobs but last i heard ACT not able to pick up wildfire which is a significant dps. Can someone confirm this has been fix as of latest update?

[SasakiNori]

Well there's a 3mins 30secs dummy parse floating around with 836 dps on MCH, which is pretty much what bard is sitting at as well.
