Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[Ephier]

Machinist is designed well around GB no doubt.

Agreed.

Does anyone know if there are updated stat weights floating around?

Agreed.

Front page was updated with this in 3.01. Not sure if anyone has updated since then. For now my stat weights have been based off this:

w/ GB
WD - 10.71
Dexterity - 1.000
Determination - 0.125
Critical Hit Rate - 0.140
Skill Speed - 0.020

Those are the same I am already using then. Was just wondering if skill speed got any stronger from more testing.

I don't think so since we only have one DoT. Although I feel like skill speed could have a helping hand in getting all my shots in for Wildfire opener. I think Skill Speed is a more valuable stat on BRD.

So question, do you guys think its worth to get the chest piece first then go to the weapon?

The chest piece is 4 weeks from Alex Normal while the Eso chest piece is 2 weeks.

Weapon Damage > everything else

Your ilvl180 body works just fine and still better than the ilvl190 one from Alexander Normal. Prioritize your weapon, then get the body piece next.

how much dex = 1 WD?

And it's bis. I'm debating the same thing. Delay the weapon or get eso chest.

And it will solve future accuracy deficiency.

Unless you are in A3S/A4S and killing for accuracy, I would not recommend getting it over a new gun first. If you do the math, the DPS upgrade from the weapon heavily outweighs the stats the body would give you. Get your weapon first.

1 WD = 10.71
1 DEX = 1.00

wep if you can solve acc issues (read: i180 crafted or a1s earrings+a2s belt/feet) for a3s/a4s. need around 630-635 for the frontal portion of a3s, which is likely to be flank req in a4s

if you can't.. still wep. just downgrade accessories for more acc
