    Yeah, I like how people cherry-pick some side-comment out of everything I said that wasn't even really the point of the post and just..... ignore everything else said.

    Gotta love the forums sometimes.

    As for Wildfire, allow me to even further explain, even though I think CKNovel said plenty...

    Wildfire, for 10 seconds, gives you +200 potency to the ability for each weaponskill you land during its duration.

    In all intents and purposes, this is going to be maybe 6 weaponskills which would be 1200 potency. You could perhaps squeeze 1 more in, if you had enough +skill speed? Not entirely sure about that.

    But, it has a 2 minute cooldown.

    So basically this ability does up to 1200 potency every 2 minutes. That's a drop in the bucket. I say "up to" because there's a bunch of things that can interrupt you while you're in the middle of a Wildfire. Maybe a boss does something that forces you to pause DPS for a second or two. Maybe you have another ability that is more important that you must use right now that is not oGCD.

    Either way, even if you got the maximum damage out of Wildfire (which means using 6 weaponskills back to back in a row without using any non-oGCD abilities!), it's still only 1200 potency every 2 minutes at best.

    What I meant in my original post is that "I hate Wildfire and how dependent it is conditions and lag, but that skill can be just shrugged off as it doesn't contribute enough DPS to really care much about it". Unless of course you're trying to squeeze every DPS out of it if you're savage raiding or something, which I'm not. Pop Wildfire now and then and if I get 6 weaponskills, that's good I guess, if not, the DPS is so low it doesn't matter in the end. It kinda stinks that we have a button that is so... insignificant that you just push it and go 'meh whatever' but... *shrug*

    The bigger point was, out of the two gripes I have with MCH, one is so insignificant and the other..... well, not-so-insignificant. Hypercharge and its related abilities are far more important, and far bigger a problem.
