Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[Ferrasper]

I think the AF chest is showing to much skin. It needs to be covered up.

The machinist is probably the most appropriate class to have showing skin.

Does anyone know concrete A1S acc cap? Cause currently every piece of MCH gear I get from Alexander chops my acc down, currently sitting at 466. Might have to put back on some i180 to fit the situation. +_+

I can't say to be sure, but I went in last night with 614 accuracy and did not miss once the entire night.

Here are my notes for A1 Savage MCH:

-Each phase after 0.5 spawns lasts exactly 120s. Use this knowledge to stack your cooldowns as cleanly as possible. The fight itself is 8 min and 40s with enrage lasting 10s from 8 min 30s to 8 min 40s.
-You will need to regen mana for most of the fight. I suggest using Hypercharge/Bishop/Promotion during liftoff phases so you can switch back to your rook turret sooner. This is especially important if your healer needs to res someone. If you want to use Hypercharge for DPS, I suggest sitting on the cooldown after it's initial use until the restart of the phase so you are stacking it with B4B and Hawk's Eye in a relatively calm part of the fight.
-Grenado Shot will hit both adds when they spawn in phase 1 to increase your dps slightly. Just be sure you are dragging them into a position that doesn't screw the melees positioning. You won't have TP problems if you use this skill 1-3 times.

-Rend mind before tank buster on the tank expected to take more damage.
-When the Oppressors land after liftoff, you can begin your B4B/Hawk's eye casts and go into Hot shot - Lead Shot - Lead shot - Wildfire - Rotation right when they are targetable. Keep lead shot on both targets for the entire fight! After the missiles detonate, you have about 20 seconds until liftoff. Lead shot won't be a DPS increase at 9-10 seconds before liftoff.
-The ACC requirement is actually very low (580ish?). Replace gear as necessary.
-Turn off Gauss Barrel when kiting the ad if you don't have rapid fire or reload available to ensure your dps doesn't take too much of a hit.
-Time your 2nd potion with Raging Strikes/B4B/Hawk's Eye/Wildfire/Hypercharge. 20 seconds of 2k+ DPS is sexy. You will not be able to use a 3rd potion.

[Eevey]

-Identify the most difficult missile drop point and claim it vocally to your group. You are the most mobile and you should be taking your ad to the most difficult position.
-Overall you should be able to carry mid to low 900 DPS through the entire encounter while keeping your healers manaed up at i185/hive weapon.

That's all I can think of for now - Happy MCHing. Also why is the post limit 1000 characters -_-

You can edit one post and add what you want in.

Didnt have any misses at 569 acc last night in A1.

Any specific pointers for keeping above 1k dps on Faust Savage? Is that even possible?
