Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[arctic]

2 – Gauss Barrel, Ammo, and Turrets

The Machinist has 3 major concepts that it utilizes: the Gauss Barrel, usage of Ammunition, and the supportive toggled abilities of the autoturrets.

Like the Bard’s Wanderer’s Minuet, Machinists get access to Gauss Barrel, an ability that puts a cast time on weaponskills and stops all auto-attacks. However, unlike the Bard, once a proc is triggered for Split Shot or Slug Shot, the following Slug or Clean Shot has no cast time. Some skills are also only usable while the Gauss Barrel is equipped, however, Gauss Barrel is pretty much useless outside of AoE pulls.

I appreciate all the hard work and effort put into this guide. That said, I think since the patch changed so much, some of the suggested information might need to be revisited.

** Also a lot of people seem to be repeating the same questions about how to handle their rotation when dealing with trash mobs?
