Machinist Splitshot

[Omegabear]

Is it just me or is Machinist Splitshot acting up really weird?

I mean at least once per dungeon I'm spamming Splitshot, 10-20 times with 0 triggers that increase Slug Shot potency. Is this a known issue? At first I thought it was RNG but this is happening on a regular basis for days now.

I've gone entire dungeon runs with only one or two non-ammo procs. I've also had runs where it procced every second or third shot. RNG's weird.

Coming from a BRD main, that's just RNG in a nutshell. Sometimes you get runs where procs simply don't exist.

any non caster dps in dungeons is just suffering in general

Aren't only like half of your shots RNG anyways because of ammo?

Welcome to BRD/MCH, where the parses are made up and your skill don't matter!

Note: Not saying there isn't skill to play these jobs. It's a joke on their reliance on RNG.

If the probability is not 0% or 100%, there are no guarantees.

The system this game uses for RNG is renowned for just how genuinely godawful it is.

Want proof? Ask any crafter.

I actually know what you're talking about. I can't count how often 5% chance turned out to be 50%.

Or gatherer. Can't tell you how many times I've had a 95% success chance on something and failed 2-3 times in a row of 5 out of 10 times. Then I have a 15% HQ chance on the next node and get 3 HQ in a row.

RNG really seems to go in streaks in this game. And I swear there's some hidden weighting in this game as higher level nodes fail far more at 95% then lower level nodes and lower level nodes seem to give HQ much easier even at base.
