Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Myon88]

hey guys, does anyone have advise for killing the dps orb during first phase of a8s? our mch occasionally struggles to kill it in time. is there any cooldowns or skills he should be saving for that bit?

The steam regulator? What I do is start the fight with an opener on Onslaughter using only ~half my cooldowns or so, and I save the other half for the regulator.

Stuff I use for the opener:
Standard Hypercharge, BFB, Hawk's opening sequence (no Raging cause you need it for p2)
Quick Reload instead of Reload before the usual wildfire
Rapid Fire (will cover movement nicely during seed of the sky AoE)
It's going to be pretty shitty with no Reload so you'll have to react to procs/no procs as needed

Stuff for regulator:
Ricochet, Reassemble, and Reload. Usually kill it in 6 GCDs, sometimes 5, sometimes 7.

You may have to save more or less depending on how geared you are, so everyone's opener is going to be a bit different here. You know what you're using on the pull and what you are saving, so you just need to construct a ghetto opener around that.
