Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Xelanar]

Hi there!

This guide really helped me getting started. I am currently raiding AS2 and having some difficulties adjusting to the fight in terms of TP Management and cooldown usage. Since AoE drains my TP relatively quickly - How do you handle the first couple of waves properly?

Also my Wildfire is kind of low. It hits training dummies with 6500 to 7100 at ilvl 203. I'm not using potions or food on those tries, but still it's way below what I should be doing. Besides skipping the potion part, I use the exact opening from the google doc. without any problems, triggering skills and abilities as soon as they will let me. Wildfire triggers 1-2 seconds after my third Slug Shot(my skill speed is 557 right now, in case that is helpfull ^_^). Is this how it is supposed to be? Because I'm inclined to blame my internet connection for not letting me activate skills fast enough. I really am triggering them as fast as the game will let me. Also I do have a terrible over abundance in Accuracy(661) that adds to the issue too, I guess. My question would be - when is Wildfire supposed to go off? Should it last longer than my third Slug Shot?

Another problem I found myself in is the Wildfire following the first one. What Skills should I keep before casting it? Following the guide I use Reload when ready, so until now I also never held back the other two 60 second cooldowns(Reassemble, Ricochet) either. When my second Wildfire is ready, I'm stuck with all the other 90 second Cooldowns, which makes it kind of... underwhelming and reliant on luck since I'm not guaranteeing any skillproccs. Is this the way to go, because on Wildfire 3 everything will be in line again(I keep my Hypercharge for it too)?

wildfire

yes. Your second wildfire is going to feel way more underwhelming compared to the first. If your timings are right then you should have rapid fire/quick reload up mainly and go from there.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFA1zzbwSwc. In case you have further questions of timings and what should go where. Someone already made a vivid guide to "what cd's should be up and the timings" in the earlier pages if you are curious.

Your other wildfire question sadly I can't answer :/. Sorry. Someone asked a page back from this if you haven't checked. Unless you can somehow gives us video footage (or go into vivid detail) it will be hard to answer that question besides what was already mentioned in the previous page.

Hot Shot - Potion
Lead Shot - Reload
Split Shot - Wild Fire
Slug Shot - Quick Reload + Reassemble
Clean Shot - Rapid Fire + Ricochet
Split Shot - Gauss Round
Slug Shot - Head Graze
Split Shot - Blank
Clean Shot
Split Shot … -> my Wildfire goes off here, 1-2 seconds afterwards

My question was, if this is normal or if Wildfire is supposed to last one shot longer. Because I asumed connection issues might sabotage my Wildfire a bit by not allowing me that last skill, rendering the damage lower than it should be. On the video posted, it looks like it could be the case, but it's difficult for me to really tell =/.

Another reason for my Wildfire doing lower damage could be my stat distribution, since I'm running around with gear that has way more accuracy then I need for AS1 and AS2.

I did notice how ElasmoFan had similar issues, however he claimed that it could be related to changes he made to his skill bars or due to activation speed. That is definitely not the case with me. I can already do the entire rotation blindly, and could not go any quicker because the game won't let me. This is why I wished to know if everything is ok with with my Wildfire triggering where I marked it above.

@Myon88: That helped me quite a lot. Thanks, that's just what I was looking for! ^_^
