    MCH OH w/Flamethrower

    Aside from the first Wildfire in a fight, every one of my Wildfires there after are during overheating. But need never Flamethrower to get there. My regular rotations n reloading sets me up right at 95 heat just as Rapidfire and Wildfire comes off cooldown everytime. I only need to Cooldown once to avoid overheating and thats between the first and second Wildfire.

    Working as intended?

    Well, I do but I can't say if it's optimal : I'm usually at 95 heat with heated clean & slug shot ready and quick reload ready.

    That ends me up OHeating with a FT tick then WF, clean, quick reload + rapid fire, slug, reassemble, clean, cooldown, ricochet, cooldown, gauss round, split shot. (Due to my ping beeing crappy, a cooldown is never possible in overheat here, and split is not guaranteed to end up in wildfire either).

    That's what I've been doing since the last patch increasing FT's heat generation to 20 per tick, but I can hardly find non outdated guides or advices anywhere..

    Not overheating with FT loses you one GCD in overheat, along with the 1-2 ticks you can get. The optimal way to use your window is to FT late into your GCD at 80+, then CD>WF+RF>323>CD>CD. It's ping dependant doe

    i'm not a mch mains so i'm probably doing this wrong, but i always use flame thrower to get over heated.

    normally, i'm at 90~95 heat, before wildfire, i would: Reload + rapid fire > Flame 1 tick > wildfire > wildfire rotation

    that way, i don't double up on ogcd during my WF, with rapid fire up, you can 100% notice the GCD clipping if you weave 2 ogcds

    Also one should never overheat if barrel stabilizer is on CD. Only over heat when is available this will help minimize the DPS lost from the 10 secs GB is off.
