MCH in alex savage...

[HairyRoger]

It's diluted as damage that's dealt to Faust...which honestly should be your only concern. Just like how silly it is to take face value of a BRD doing 1.2k+ on faust because of flame arrow, you shouldn't take to face value that a machinist is doing 1.1k because not all of that damage is being dealt to faust.

The disparity is much greater on a skill like flaming arrow. 1,1 from a MCH is more reliable than 1,2 from a BRD.

Why are some of you so hell bent on saying MCH can't pull decent consistent numbers ? It's like you want to be victims for no reason whatsoever....

Uh yeah I was talking without food. Without party buffs. Without potions.

I think we may need to consider that people's parses are off, with such inconsistency in the data that we have.

http://gyazo.com/e8aeee02b74b8a3c82efcc2a69f96b75 i167 from the other mch thread. i was over 1k at 3:00 so in this gear I'd still be over 1k in faust


man. this game is hard. i should go play an easier one like runescape or something.

Isn't that a 4 minute parse?
Which means the third Wildfire combo just hit with all the buffs like Raging Strike and Hypercharge?

Its a more stable read of average dps. At least 30 seconds would have passed after the third wildfire, so it'll have stabilized after the burst. A 3:30 parse would be right after wildfire triggers and that would be inflated a bit.

If they were using the i180 weapon, that sounds about right. you have to give or-take a variance of 20-40 because of crits on wildfire (which especially inflates mid-parse numberr so that really should not be taken at face value)

I just think that MCH should be parsed for 3 minutes (Just right before Raging Strike resets) to see the average numbers for sustained damage.

Because it's more or less :
00:00 - 00:20 : Fully buffed Wild Fire combo
00:20 - 01:30 : Keep up Hot Shot and Lead Shot, do Split Shot, Slug Shot, Clean Shot depending on what proc'd, adds some oGCDs to the mix. (The usual rotation)
01:30 - 01:50 : Non Hypercharged+Raging Strike Wild Fire combo (Or alternatively, you can wait for Hypercharge and do the second wild fire combo at 02:00)
01:50 - 03:00 : The usual rotation
03:00 : Repeat step 1.

At least that's what I think.
Even though I wouldn't call myself an expert machinist just yet.

[Empty-handed]

Any tips for a2savage ??

Machinist aoe rotation is very tp taxing

We are going tonight hopefully. For the first time.

You should be doing 900-1000 without a dragoon and 1000-1100 with, on Faust.
