Thread: Mch heat gauge timing cooldown questions?

Im kinda new to mch Ive watch vids of great mch and Im just wondering when is the perfect time to use cooldown is it 75 or 95? One guy use cooldown when its 75 heat gauge one guy uses it at 95 Im not gunna mention their names but I think you know who they are they are both strong mch I just wanna know which is better to use cooldown for a high ping mch like me 75 or 95?

It depends on your GCD and BiS build choice, as well as opener of choice. For instance, I prefer the new 3.41 gcd BiS and am building toward it, and like the 3-ammo opener--therefore, the perfect time for me to use Flamethrower is actually 70 heat.

On the high ping rotation, this doc (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...yM47LjqnU/edit ) says you'll ideally hit 90 heat before Flamethrower. I'd recommend giving it a good read

It depends on whether you use the 2 or 3 ammo opener because the order and timing you use oGCDs in your opener sets up the rest of the fight since, ideally, you’ll be using each oGCD as its recast timer expires. There are minor potency differences between the various openers (and associated midfight wildfires), but your secondary stats, confidence with the rotation, and ping can mitigate those differences.

Personally, I think a 3 ammo opener with reloading immediately before flamethrower is the easiest rotation to learn, though I don’t use it anymore. It guarantees 323 midfight wildfires and reduces the rng (and therefore, decision making) in the rotation. Of course, this comes with a drawback of losing a bit of potency during wildfires. http://ffxivrotations.com/1em3 When Cooldown comes up again, you’ll be 1 flamethrower tick to overheat and can use the reload to prep a 323 wildfire.
