MCH Reload Cooldown

[Ryaz]

Being real here - MCH damage is fine.

The "RNG" of procs is a hilarious arguement - 50% chance to proc for 40/60 more potency.. lol, get real - that makes a difference oh like 5 dps.

You sure notice that 50% every time you get five split shots in a row with no proc, which seems to happen more often than you'd think.

But I agree our damage is fine. I was just thinking of the change as more a QoL change so it lines up better with buff phase.

And for those saying Split Shot is only 140, you have to add Increased Action Damage to that. It's actually equal to 168 potency (which is higher than most base potencies) or 192 with ammo.

And while I agree we don't need anymore buffs myself, I still scratch my head at why every has to be a jerk about it in their rebuttals.

see my earlier posts, it could be worse. just kind of tired of explaining it >.>

either way, procs arent the bulk of thr damage, so if you get very little its noticeable but the proc run wont be+400 dps or anything

Lack of procs is the difference between like 50~60 dps tops.

50-60 dps is quite a bit when you're trying to clear a dps check. Sure, it won't happen all the time, but it's frustrating when it does.

If 50 makes or breaks it when it comes to savage, you can make that up with fight optimization.
200+ dps on the other hand.. is a gearcheck.

The 2-1-3-2-3 rotation I came up with (later adapted to 1-2-1-3-2-3 thanks to someone here; wish I could remember their name) is beautiful in that if you Reload before it, it's all guaranteed procs. No Reload? A natural proc + Quick Reload can allow you to go into it at almost any moment. And if Reload comes off cooldown as you're going along, you can instantly transition into 1-2-1-3-2-3. Obviously keep up/open with Hot Shot & Lead Shot, weave in your buffs, prime Wildfire, and it totally works, Gauss or no Gauss!

It's still imperfect, and I'm still trying to commit it to muscle memory, but I've seen myself do significantly better DPS with this. I'm interested to learn of any other rotations anyone has come up with!

I would really like an animation for wildfire. It's hard to see the damage and sometimes I miss it.

As for reload. It would be nice if it were shorter to line up with wildfire but 10s is absurd. Since the GB fix patch my MCH has been dealing some pretty beastly damage.

[Ryaz]

Yeah, it's been nice. Hit a nice 7k+ wildfire yesterday on second boss in Fractal. Always fun to see. But Wildfire really is hard to see.

Been leveling my MCH, and I've noticed this same problem. I don't really notice when it goes off...maybe a small explosion with an bomb's explosion sound effect to let us know it's gone off?
