Machinist needs serious attention

[Krylo]

I'd like to point out that a Job that leans on RNG to get the most out of it, a sample size of 2 is not large enough.
Hell, its not even enough to account for luck with crits.
Also, I'd like to point out the extremely short test time. 3:36 for GB and 3:44 without it.

There's more with bard. The short test time helps the GB/WM parses as the longer a fight goes on the less that initial burst when it's actually good matters to the overall DPS. Like I said, bum around reddit for theory crafting. Don't just decide on your own.

Short version is that auto attacks are 100 potency every 3 seconds. Or, to put it another way, that's 83.3 potency every GCD. Not using auto-attacks is roughly the equivalent of uncasting your turret. The difference between good and great melee DPS is often just whether they know to strafe for positioning (thus allowing their auto attacks to continue) or not, as moving from flank to back without strafing costs auto attacks and can easily cut total DPS down by over 10%. Honestly, even summoners should be auto-attacking if it's a boss they can stand next to safely. Thwacking him whenever they use an instant cast adds up to something like an 8% increase in DPS despite not being able to attack when using any spells with a cast time. Auto-attacks are not negligible or forgettable.

By current math I believe auto-attack is about 23% of total DPS (varies between classes/jobs though), but I'm much too lazy to trawl about in old threads until I can find that.
