As we all know, MCH lives for it's wildfire combos. That's basically what the job is built around. I'm not here to ask for an opening rotation or how to do a wildfire rotation (there's already enough guides for that), but I am however confused as to what happens between wildfires, because as becomes apparent if you play MCH, most of MCH's major CD's don't line up all that well with wildfire.
My question is what to do with these CD's. Which ones should be used freely, which ones should be saved for wildfire, when do I do these things in relation to CD timers, should wildfire itself be saved to wait for CD's, and if so, which ones, etc etc.
For example, one thing I'm wondering is this: at 60 seconds, Reload becomes available again, as does Ricochet (maybe not perfectly in line, but thereabouts). Wildfire is available at 90 seconds. Do I save Reload and Ricochet for an extra 30 seconds and just continue my usual routine, or is that a potential dps loss over time having major abilities be unused for 50% of their uptime? Does that then mean I save wildfire an extra 30 seconds after it comes up to wait for Reload and Ricochet again, or is that the real dps loss? Is getting my wildfires off that important in the long run, or is the guaranteed consistency of Reload more important to wait for? Or, again, do I just simply not use Reload and Ricochet for 30 seconds and wait for wildfire to come up?
It's a really complicated juggling act going on here, and I don't have enough knowledge of the crunch of the dps numbers to make a decision.
The others that I'm curious about are...well...basically that same questions as above, but instead with regards to B4B/Hawk's Eye (80 and 90 seconds respectively), Raging Strikes(180 seconds, or 3 whole damn minutes), Reassemble (60 seconds), Rapid Fire (90 seconds), and of course Hypercharge which seems more interesting now given it's buff in 3.2.
Again, for all these, I am wondering just as much as before: what is and is not saved and for what things are they saved or not saved.
Gah, all these spinning plates, someone help my brain ;_;
