    Honestly I get why people like and dislike the GB with basically turning people into basically a caster. I get the concept they were trying to go with it but its a big lost of what range physical is which is a movement friendly class that shoots from range we don't get to use our tp for sprint like casters so we have to be ahead of the game when it comes to mechanics and such.

    but I believe GB and WM should of just been BRD/MCH version of nin's poison. keep the auto attack remove the cast time. I mean it would certainly bring our dps back with the return of auto attack in gb alone and not worrying about lost dps cause you got no procs and you have to move.

    basically If I have to work harder then a mnk to deal dmg I might as well be a mnk or any other of the pretty easy to do melee or If I have to cast i might as well be a blm/smn/healer. as well as we should only lose dps if the turret or song needs to be played we shouldn't have a dps lost because we have the skills and not use them which seems to make people think well your a support role there is no support role we are still dps we take a dps slot.

    Turret is calculated as one entity. When you swap the only thing that changes is the skill used.

    I'd like to aim a quick discussion at useful macros for cleaning up hotbars and using a lot less hotkeys to make Machinist more manageable.

    The first macro is stacking Head Graze and Suppressive Fire onto the same hotkey. As far as I'm aware, at close range, Stun will always trump Silence. Please let me know if you can think of a situation when this is false. So I use
    /macroicon "Head Graze"
    /ac "Suppressive Fire"
    /ac "Head Graze"

    Needless to say, you could also stack all 3 Raging Strikes, Hawk's eye and Blood for blood onto a macro to either mash them all out at once or spread them out.

    Similar to the Stun or Silence macro above, you could do a Gauss Round or Ricochet stacking macro as well. I can see this one having slight issues due to Ricochet hitting nearby mobs as well, which can affect mobs that are under CC.

    What are some other macros that are useful as well? Should I bind Heartbreak to Split, Slug and Clean shot as well?

    Well, I dont use any macros, because I want to keep full control of my skills.
    But those 3 was an idea of mine to clean up my skill-bar ^^.


    Clean-Shot-Krit-Macro
    /macroicon "Clean Shot"
    /ac "Reassemble"
    /ac "Clean Shot"

    Slug-Shot-1-Ammo-Macro
    /macroicon "Slug Shot"
    /ac "Quick Reload"
    /ac "Slug Shot"

    30s-Dot-Buff-Macro
    /macroicon "Hot Shot"
    /ac "Hot Shot" <wait.2>
    /ac "Lead Shot"

    I want to do macros so badly to clear up my skill bar, but from past experiences macros cause delay. They will make anything off global cool down only activate when the GCD has finished. Then you're scratching your head trying to figure out where your DPS loss is at. I mean Heavy Shot > Bloodletter macro seemed brilliant, I'd just spam Heavy Shot and Bloodletter would trigger when it was off cool down or proc'd! But it actually hurt my numbers.

    I like this ones idea but I can't seem to get it to work properly. If I input <wait.2.5> it'll work, but it's delayed. My recast time is 2.38 which is the problem I believe. Can you get this down to 2 or under at 60?


    arctic, I believe you should switch that macro around. Bloodletter and Misery end should be at the start of the macro to prevent the GCD skill from trying to trigger first. At least that's how I understand it. I could be wrong.

    Is this your opening rotation? And are you weaving GB off/on for BisEx throughout the fight or only during moments of opportunity (e.g. adds down, corona coming up)

    Oh okay I see, thanks for the answer

    Also I'd avoid macros if I were you, on a job like machinist that requires you to make quick decision depending on the situation, any form of delay that could lower your already low dps is not a good thing.

    I personally don't like macros because I feel like it takes away some ofnthebjob complexity as well. We complain about pressing one button over and over. I'd think macros would make that even worse.
