Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

Anyone know where the NPC for the LVL. 30 MCH quest "Master of Marksmanship" is? The one you actually have to be on MCH to flag, not the quest to unlock it. FFXIVDB says the NPC is Rostnsthal, but it doesn't show what area he is in. I unlocked all 3 new jobs on the first day, but I don't remember where the MCH storyline NPC last left off.

Here's an 899 with party/food i175. Is there anyone breaking 900? I'd like to know your opener/priority.

Despite my issues with the job that I've posted, I want to say that I still enjoy it a lot. Ricochet is VERY satisfying to use. . . but sadly is our only good looking skill. Gauss Round is incredibly disappointing visually like most of our skills.
I honestly feel I'm coming to terms with the rng proc combo. Tho it isn't what I was hoping for MCH which was more a class that had to manage bullets as a resource, instead of just using them when they're up and making sure you don't use a bullet on clean shot when you don't have a slug proc up.

Still hopefully GB will be fixed so that it's an actual good increase in our DPS.

Just broke it. Party/food/pot.

edit: Parse was with Wildfire damage is confirmed as unknown in damage breakdown.

Just broke it. Party/food/pot.

977 DPS w/o Wildfire calculated. Since both Wildfires did around a combined 10k damage, actual DPS is 1030.

Hey, nice parse! Mind sharing what your opener was, and if that parse was with GB active or only active during burst? Also, was Heartbreak being used?

Is anyone else having trouble macroing Ricochet? I can't get

/ac "Ricochet" <t>

nor

/micon "Ricochet"

to work.

Edit: It seems like it's not reading it at all, it doesn't even give errors when I try to use it. Gauss Round is working fine. How odd.

It's just a general issue I think with some skills not being fully implemented, people were having trouble macroing Ascend and Painflare since HW release.

Hey, I was doing my LVL. 30 quest for Hot Shot on MCH, and I noticed something that will get pretty annoying the more I used it. When I am on BRD, I can press A or D while holding right-click on the mouse and actually stay facing the target while I kite it around. It keeps me firing AA's while I kite the mob to death. But, when I tried that tactic on MCH, it didn't work, I just kept running forward instead of kiting while walking backwards. Is there something I need to activate on MCH for that to work, or can I just not kite on MCH? Because it's a pretty big mobility tactic for dealing damage. =/
