Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Myon88]

All other things aside, Ricochet and Gauss Round both require Gauss Barrel to be on to be used at all, so I imagine it would be pretty massive.

[Myon88]

So how are you guys passing the time till 3.2?

It occurs to me that since our eso helm/chest/leg pieces are generally superior to their gordian counterparts, and welfare gobtwines are raining from the sky now, it's frighteningly easy to finish up our best in slot gearset without even stepping into A3S and A4S at all. There is the i210 weapon and the mount of course, but we also have Thordan EX taking you halfway there and anima weapons in less than a month.

Not even getting into the thorny issue of Diadem being able to drop items superior to raid i210s. The reward curve just seems a little out of whack this tier, for MCH at least, the difficulty you go through to put A3S and A4S on farm feels completely disproportionate to the reward.

Just waiting patiently till relic is released.

In terms of gun glamour, it's been rather dull lately. Furthermore, we have that ugly looking Gauss Barrel. At this point, looking ugly is easier/more satisfying than looking good.

I really wish we could use parsers or something in game to tell how much dps i'm doing (I'm on ps4). I've been working on lining up my buffs and what not after the opener, but its hard for me to actively improve when I can't tell if my damage is solid enough. I want to get into a1s next week once I get my eso chest piece and have the timing in my sleep. I'm currently ilvl 190.

This may be somewhat unrealistic to ask, but whats a good parse for ilvl 190 on a static target? Ignoring party buffs and what not. And what are the expected numbers for a1s from your experience? I'm pretty hard on myself and don't want to be carried when I attempt it.

stuff

If you got a friend on PC, he could do the stuff for you. Just dont go asking for any random guy to parse it for you.
As for deeps, anything over 950 or 1k should be decent (in approx. 3min parse).

thank you! I'll get someone to parse me thats reliable and see if I reach those numbers.

So I changed my cross hotbar a bit to make it easier to use the opener in the google doc. I'm noticing i'm consistently doing 6011 damage with wildfire on the test dummy while at ilvl 203. That seems kind of low but I'm going through the doc's opener. Am I maybe being a little to slow with pressing things since I'm just getting used to it?

[Oskurr]

6011 is definitely too low for 203. I think it might be on par or below i180, iirc. Nobody can tell what's wrong unless you describe it (not having all GCDs in the WF, not double weaving, which could be a ping issue, wrong order)

Or your parser could be wonky. Like I said, no one will be able to tell without more info.

[ElasmoFan]

I think my biggest problem is that since I changed my cross hotbar to make it more streamlined, I've been slower with activating my skills. I'll probably spend more time practicing because I am doing everything according to the document. I do more damage on a mob then on the test dummy because of other buffs going on but I think the problem is I'm too slow so I'm not getting enough skills into my WF.

Its more about making sure you get everything in on time mixed with RNG crits. If crits don't completely suck, you should be hitting 7500+ easily on a dummy with no party or buffs. If you miss just one ability or think too long, you are going to miss that last GCD and you will get results similar to what you are right now.
