Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Pence]

I have a couple questions if people don't mind answering.

1. Without food, potions or any party buffs, what should my opening wildfire number and average dps be on a target dummy if I'm at ilvl 208 with a i200 weapon?

.

I've not tried unbuffed myself, but my buffed ranges from 8k - 11k WF. I presume unbuffed would be the 7-8k range.

As for the relic Q - i'd say go for it. Thordan is probably better, and if it's accessible for you then go for it - but relic is an ok replacement. But if you're main is MCH you should keep in mind that future updates will more-than-likely let you choose your stats, so it'll be a head start.

Edit: I can not provide my 3m+ DPS sorry, only my WF/burst figures. My 'dummy' is Faust, and it's the normal rotation (I'm pretty sure I got it from the google doc, may have a few small changes for latency). I don't want to answer the other Qs because I've had an amazingly long break from raiding/mch. Only just getting back into it for 3.2.
