Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

Is your skill speed lower? I know it's regarded as highly undesirable for MCH, yet I find even with good ping I struggle to squeeze in one last move before Wildfire goes off sometimes - like right down to milliseconds.

As little as possible is the general sentiment I believe, it's our least desirable stat.

so 400 is okay?

because thats my non alex savage build since i dun have acess to a group atm

[Myon88]

Well in most cases it's not like we have much options to choose our stats anyway. There's a little bit of customization in choice of materia and which lore pieces you target first - but for the most part you'll just be wearing whatever is the best/highest ilvl gear you have access to.

If it so happens that you're at 400 at the moment then so be it - it's not really a big deal and to my knowledge we don't have critical sks breakpoints to hit, so anything goes.

[Resieni]

that you very much for the reply

Soo does anyone have some trickshots to share for a7s? Starting that catfight tonight.

Hello!

i217 MCH now with 1127 dex and sephirot weapon, 856 crit, 624 det.

Just tried the A5S SSS dummy again and with the opener Ailury has on the video link on the first page I hit like an 8k wildfire (couldn't get the last clean/split shot in time) and the 2nd wildfire hit for 7k (I had HE, B4B, rapid fire, gauss barrel and quick reload up at that time)

Is this okay damage for wildfires? used no food and xpots here

7k is great for the second one, 8k seems a bit low for the first one though.

K actually the 2nd wildfire damage I think it was lower than 7k a little or something because I tried it in Seph EX and it was hovering around 3.5k-4k for 2nd wildfire

However my first wildfire is consistently 8k because I did the opener as it should've been o.o on Ailury's video on the first page of this thread o.o, popped 2 ammo for quick reload and did the opener, sometimes I had enough time to pop that last split/clean shot for the last second of wildfire but its still around 8k =x

Question for all your MCH vets. I recently got mine to 60 and have been tossing between this and BRD for my ranged DPS/support job. I can execute the opener with my eyes closed (SMN main makes pulling oGCDs in the opener simple), but I found myself doing about 100 more DPS with my BRD on the SSS dummy (both jobs were at i198). My question is about the rotation as a fight goes on. I've been told that the only cooldown to hold is holding Hawk's Eye a bit so it lines up with B4B, so does that mean that you pop EVERYTHING else as it comes off cooldown (specifically your oGCDs like Gauss shot, Head Graze, Ricochet, etc.)?
