Good morn to you all!! I really like several jobs I play in FFXIV and one of them is the Machinist. I like to optimize my jobs and do the best I can with them. So I have a question for all you Machinists out there. When do YOU use your OGC abilities, Ricochet and Gauss? I've found I love using them between my 1-2-3 combo. It makes for constant action and a smooth rotation.. If I'm not using Air Anchor or Drill or anything else, my go to is Split shot/Gauss/Slug shot/Ricochet/Clean shot (or the upper end heated versions of these). With a 5 ability rotation and using all other CD's as they come up ready to use, I find I'm in constant action. Once all 3 charges are used of both I'll Hypercharge and use heated blasts to regenerate the Gauss and Ricochet, preferably using a wildfire with it. I've been wondering is I should be hypercharging at 1 charge each so I can also weave them into my Heated Blasts for a more fluid rotation, and for wildfire to hit harder. Another question,.. is it better to use reassemble with Air Anchor or Drill, or does it make a difference? they are both the same potency, I just wondered if one is more preferrable to use over the other with reassemble.

Thank you for all your input!!
