Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Griffeth]

for the opener, an alternative to accommodate a late TA/disembowel would go like...snip

I will add this in for people playing with a new group trying to figure out their DRG debuff timings. Our DRG is usually really good about getting that rolling early so it never really came to my mind.

Opinions on PvP? I have been leveling my MCH on the basis (looking at actions/pvp actions) that MCH Burst would be OP

Currently Rank 25 with Maelstrom (Its hard to PvP tons with a 2 year old running around) and I find MCH to be just fine. If I find a target that needs to die with all of the tools we have, we can drop someone rather fast. Group support and node defense is rather solid too with the AoE we have and ability to peel for healers. Will be interesting to see the next Wolves Den to see where we fit.

I don't agree with BiS list. I think that Gordian Hood of Aiming is better than Machinist's Googles.

I believe we had this discussion before, but I personally find the stat gain from the SkillSpeed to be better than the wasted 41 accuracy. There is no other combination of gear that still gives the crit and det numbers we have that allows you to properly use that 41 accuracy.

Here is the difference in stats when swapping helmets as you propose. The top one is the guide's BiS list, the bottom is yours.

DEX - Acc - Crit - Det - SkS - Vit (just incase you did not know the order for the stats from Ariyala's page.)





With an accuracy cap for a4s of around 650 to 655, i personally do not see the swap in helms to be worth the 17 crit raiting

I'm actually rather curious to know if those stat weights are still accurate - and how they were derived in the first place. I wasn't around back when the original thread was new.

Overall the stat weights are in the correct order, but SkS is not as low as this states. I am still trying to work with Xero and Dervy to get corrected weights for us and will probably post something here for people to try out to assist in getting corrected numbers.
