Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[Humorless]

I think i do the same Auirily

mine hit 8.5k pretty often witg a dragoon.

also, 950 in faust are you real

1100 sustained with a DRG should be childs play considering he enrages at 2:40, you could be at 1300+still from your opening burst

You get to Wildfire a whopping two times, 2k opening burst doesn't compensate for the lower dps that follows. But feel free to show me all the parses where MCH is above the melee and casters, which are all sitting at 11xx or 12xx. Highest BRD and MCH parses I've seen are 11xx.

You get to Wildfire a whopping two times.

I mean, wildfire is only roughly 7% of mch damage, doing a whopping 75-80DPS (depending on crits during WF). I've done a lot of dummy runs where I don't drop under 1200 until about 3 minutes.. if you're having trouble sustaining high, take note of your proc usage and your average wildfire damage, as well -you should see part of your issue there.

Anyways, my point with the first bit is it's not like missing out on that third wildfire means you can't sustain 1k, i only see 20DPS spikes when WF explodes. If you can't sustain high ( and i mean in general) you're probably just doing something wrong :/


@aurily

my opener is like

bfb > hyper > hot > hawks raging > lead > reload potion > split > gauss + rapid > slug > wf > split > recon > clean > richochet > slug >quickreload gauss round > split slug / etc

8.5k wf's with drg, sustains ~1.1 to 1.2k (last i parsed was a decent time ago, though)

I average 950-980 i182 on mch with pot and drg on faust (single target/not padding dps on adds). My burst opener is about 1.8-2k.

It's quite possible to break 1k if you're i185 or better.

I feel dumb for not checking, but reason I was not seeing high burst was due to Wildfire not being detected on a parser. Changed some settings to get it to detect. Was hitting 1800+ bursts easily without DRG support. Thanks again for the rotation advice.

Hey Velheart, I can only imagine I'm running into a similar problem, were you using ACT as your parser? in the best of situations on a dummy i'm only getting ~600 dps on a 3 minute parse, and that just seems excessively low for ilvl 183. I've been working on rotations as well, and i can get that higher on occasion but that becomes RNG fodder.

Hmm that does seem excessively low. You could probably get similar numbers to that by simply hitting 1 over and over on a dummy. I can only suggest that you study some 3 min dummy videos, it certainly helped bring my numbers up!

Thanks for that, I'll have to see if I can find any of those as well.

Could be an issue for sure. I'll play around with it and see if I can re-create the issue. (testing accuracy atm) I remember with SMN pets if you had the Party Filter on it wouldn't record Ifrit's AA damage or Shadow Flare. So it could very well be an issue between filtering and combining pet/owners.

Awesome I'll double check that when I get home and let ya know if that clears it up. Thanks!
