Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[Myon88]

On a related note, I remember people talking about shot damage occasionally not being added to Wildfire if you hit the target too near Wildfire's expiration time (say, the last second or something). Be it due to latency or whatever.

This might be me being superstitious, but I've completely stopped seeing this happening after I started tacking a throwaway ogcd like Leg/Foot Graze to the end of the last Slug Shot. It feels like it gets the game to update the stack better, compared to Slug Shot, [Empty GCD] which just feels iffy to me sometimes. Your other damaging ogcds are on cooldown at this point so you lose nothing by doing it.

It seems similar to that other superstition of hitting a boss with something after stepping out of an AoE, to get the server to update your position promptly.

Again, whether these are nonsense beliefs or have some basis in reality I don't know enough about the game's networking to say. I thought I'd just throw it out, I've not had any 'accidents' with Wildfire since.
