More or less using Gauss just to use a 180 pot skill every 20 seconds and ric. Is not worth the trouble . And yes the 30% damage is a wash when you considered the auto attacks it equals the same damage perspective. Gauss is a lieAre you including the DPS increase of being able to use ricochet and gauss round? Without those two abilities it SHOULD be ~the same DPS (auto attacks add up to 20-25% of dps, with a 30% increase you end up with around 97%-104% of your non-gauss damage without including them, which is to say Gauss is likely a wash by itself).
They changed it to instant cast, which makes it less of a hassle, though?
I haven't run numbers and am not going to now (gotta head out for work), but I think it'd be a DPS increase to pop into GB to ricochet + gauss round and possibly some other stuff (snap casting dots, for instance), preferably with B4B/Raging Strikes up as well, and then shutting it off after, and turning it back on when it's time to do that again.
That was my original thought but im working it out more and more . I am finding Gauss shot and barrel should be used when you are going to pop rapid fire . So you can get the instant 1 2 3 GS Ric combo . Turn Gauss off keep DPSing use all CDs for wildfire but keep Gauss off until that burst rotation is done then back to Rapid Fire rotation . Testing this way out nowThey changed it to instant cast, which makes it less of a hassle, though?
