Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[Fatalis]

So now that I am able to check, yes its showing Wildfire as a debuff, so its not counting any of its damage in my ACT, need to figure out how to get it moved over.

This is how much time I can get to react for procs with Gauss Barrel on:



Holy shit, it's not easy...0.31 seconds to react...and skill queue looks like 0.5...You can't spam Split Shot and wait for procs...You are fucked right now with GB. It's pretty disgusting.

If you can get an oGCD in while you're casting split shot it'll actually proc it earlier than if you hadn't (for example using leg graze or foot graze right after split shot finishes casting).
Of course this only works if it does proc.

I wonder if cast times on slug and clean and instant split shot would be the answer. That gives you time to react to slug shot procs and while it'd be hard to react to clean shot procs...you wouldn't need to. You can go straight from slug shot back to split shot, if you got a clean shot proc it can hold(So like, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2... with all procs and a generic control setup). It'd make more since for the big hits to be the ones with the cast times anyway.

One might argue too much mobility, but gauss limiting mobility is kinda a joke anyway. If you don't have procs when it's time to move you have feint, or just turn gauss off and back on. I hope as much as the next guy that se owns up and goes 'alright, gauss/wm were a failure, they're gone', but if it's not going anywhere I think this would help a lot making it feel more playable.

*cut some message off for 1000 words*.

i think the answer is to allow slug shot proc to stack 2 times
1.split shot -> split shot -> notice that slug shot proc from 1st split and even if this split also proc it, it not matter since it will stack 2 times-> slug shot -> split -> clean shot or slug depend on proc

if someone agree with this and have good English writing skill, please write the proper recommend for it

Is anyone else here having problems with ACT not parsing their Wildfire?

My ACT is registering it's use, but not it's damage whatsoever.

how much sks do you have as machinist? From the looks of things your lodestone is bard atm so I'm not 100% sure how accurate it is. with 540 sks on my machinst i don't have this kind of problem with such a small window :O is it your latency?

Any tips for A2?

I've just dicked around in there, my TP goes dry mad fast. Wondering about how you guys burn your cooldowns etc.

Kind of another reason Skill Speed is so bad for MCN. Rapid Fire also only ever sets to 1.5s.

messing with buff orders

hawks eye>bfb>hyper>rs might be best in the opener, as you don't get or lose any hits from moving hypercharge to 2nd last buff, and with rs on last buff you get it on the slug shot in the opener at 1s duration

edit: adjusted opener with this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFm5WWJQEso

then later on when you have buffs to line up with wildfire, i dont think clipping is worth it to try and squeeze multiple buffs in before a lead shot, but still have them last for most of a wildfire. it's probably best to do like

1>hawks eye>hot shot>bfb>lead shot etc

or if rs is up

1>hawks eye>2>bfb>hot shot>rs>lead shot

or (though i dont think pots normally line up, haven't done a parse that long yet)

1>hawks eye>2 bfb>3>rs>hot shot>dex pot>lead shot

the opportunity cost and misaligned dot from doing like, hotshot>3 buffs>lead shot isn't worth it probably, but someone can go math it out if they're interested
