Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

...

"UnMerged" parses are not referencing whether Pet data is merged or not. It's referencing if you are running your parse in one continuous fight, "merged" is having the fight broken up into several instances (due to breaks or downtime) and then merging them back together, eliminating some of the downtime and showing a inflated DPS number.

First time poster; I've been removed from a Bismarck EX group because, to be honest, the group says the machinist is dragging the group down. This common misconception is breaking the class apart and with Alexander up in a few hours, I fear that I would not experience the raid if something's not done.

Just reference this thread, that should dispel any future prejudice.

And on another note, can someone pick apart Haxetc's video and post his rotation?

Grats on the buff to Gauss barrel guys

The damage reduction on the skills are worth it, to now make it usable tbh. 15 Seconds also means it will come up more than Rapid Fire. I'm actually happy about this change.

I m happy with this change. GB was broken and now it looks like they fixed it. Cant wait to go online today ^^.

I've been checking daily for news of changes and even though it's nothing radical I feel really positive about trying the changes out and I hope this makes life as a Machinist a bit better for us!

Edit: Thanks for the guide

Wow, these GB changes are really good, GB should always be on now. Nothing really changes in the opener, as you'll still be weaving oGCDs I believe. Once the stats for the Alexander gear are known, the new stat weights will be calculated and BiS updated.

ricochet "nerf" makes me sad since its on a 1min cd and doesnt hit all that hard anymore compared to our other stuff especially on one more target but hey, that 10% buff and being able to pop it on/off at (almost) will is gonna be amazing
