Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

Here you guys go. Full time Gauss Barrel. Please understand that Moving while being in a normal rotation is not hard to do. It just takes skill and practice. Please try to do your best at the job. I guarantee you Gauss Barrel isn't a DPS loss.

The only real problem I have with moving is when I get a drought of split shot procs, sometimes having to cast 5 or 6 times, which have a much greater chance of being interrupted. When reload is up, I have no problems as procs don't have the cast time.

There are also certain boss fights, like the first boss of Fractal and the last boss of Neverreap where it's very hard to get a split shot off with all the aoes flying around.

While 943 is nice, I've seen higher parses without GB. That's not to say it isn't possible to pull decent #'s with GB on but your average with it only on in the opener should be higher.

Can you post a post Rapid Fire fix parse of someone doing more non GB? Also, how do so many people have problems moving with GB up? You have a whole second between attacks if you don't have a proc let alone if you do get a proc or have Rapid Fire up. Stop wanting to be babied. Seriously.

I think the problem is not the casting part of the skill but the fact that while loosing a little mobility you loose DPS too, the skill is a loose/loose so that why people complaining. I've absolutly no problem to cast while GB up in any fight (BLM v2.0 was far more immobile)
The problem is pretty simple, did the loose of auto is compensate by the gain of 2 skills and the 20% damage up.

Pretty much this. Its not that GB is not useable. By all means I love it, its just in a real fight outside of dummy application any interrupted casting you have to do destoys your DPS.

its not about being babied. its the fact that having gb on its a no win trade off. feint doesn't proc our 50% proc and which a lot of these fights require movement you lost a chance to proc slug/clean if reload/quick reload are on cd. coupled the fact we don't get to use sprint like casters do as well as some of the lowest dmging moves outside ricochet. even the DEVS themselves said WM for brds is doing poorly and there brds are doing better then mch who do we need to get to tell you that you are wrong.

DO you need yoshi to personally come to your house and say you are wrong is that what it has to take to get it through your head?

Everyone reads it as WM is doing poorly or that it's not working as intended when in fact the post just stated that it's more difficult to play the job with it up and that pre 60 it's not really a DPS increase. Idk why people are using Feint lol. You can move and use normal MCH skils and abilities without any loss in DPS. Just because the vast majority of the player base is bad and you're using them as a standard doesn't make the job itself bad when played properly. I need someone of relevance to post beside you all that agrees with you and states a reason why the job is bad. But I highly doubt you will get that.

I had a 960 one I could have posted yesterday but here's a 945 I just did with the breakdown. Point being the consistency in AA DPS will give you a higher average than dependency on procs/crits in guass.

edit:Just saw your burst phase for your video in which you crit slug,clean, and richochet in a row before hitting the 3:30 mark so that's not exactly what I'd consider a normal parse. What do you average in regular circumstances?

Interesting. What opener are you using and when are you toggling into Gauss there, if at all?

so this continues to prove guass is just shit outside opener
