Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

New gear is up on the Ariyala site. I just wish I knew what our accuracy cap was in A4. Hopefully we find out soon enough. http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/Machinist

So much SkillSpeed. . . you can get 1045 sks. Wonder what the Gcd would be with that.

If you completely ignored accuracy and did a full crit build, it would be at 781 crit/501 det. x_x

Thankfully, it looks like between the two sets there is enough pieces that compensate accuracy while giving a good amount of crit and det in the sets also.

I was looking at the esoterics... Sadly, I'm not a fan of the design of the gear. I figured it would be like what we saw in the preview pick, but I was hoping for something that looks more steam punk and less... Piratey.

Its the same exact AF they have been showing off since MCH was first announced.

I'm aware (I even mentioned the pics). I'm still not a fan of it.

Then glamour something over it. All of the AF gear looks like crap, just glamour whatever you like over and be done with it.

i think the af chest looks nice

anyway, stance dancing is giving me actually about the same baseline dps as mostly fulltime gauss (i turn it off at the end of a wildfire to get an extra gcd in if i can, pretty low effort) atm; did 4 parses, all around 1100 in dps with 11-12% crit rate. this is at i185 with black truffle, xpot and party buff

#1 - 1104 dps @ 11% crit, stance dancing
#2 - 1104.27 dps @ 11% crit, mostly fulltime gauss
#3 - 1112.99 dps @ 12% crit, 100% fulltime gauss
#4 - 1097.46 dps @ 11% crit, stance dancing

i dont think im doing it wrong (at least, my numbers are decent enough that i like to think im not; oGCD attacks kept on cd to be used during gauss only, dots under gauss only, etc) but the marginal theoretical dps increase for the effort is starting to seem unattractive

Are the stat weights in this post still relevant for this patch?
