Adjustments to MCH design without reworking from scratch

[Kabooa]

was i doing MCH wrong this whole time?

Probably.

There were 2 ammo and 3 ammo openers as standard, but Mach wasn't the only one who had pre-fight set up.

I dont recall ever doing it like this but MCH back then wasnt as concrete lack of better terms. Id do Hypercharge Hot Shot Gauss Reload Split Slug then FT to begin the OH phase and use my last bullet to do Split to have 2 procs. Always did it this way and wasnt aware of other ways until the ladder half of savage and definitly never heard of people actively waiting for reload to reset to have free ammo but i guess thats to be expected akin to AST

There was the 3 ammo opener which was generally what you’d use with PUGs or in dungeons and is likely what you used. It would go hot shot > reload > split > slug > split > then into your burst.

But for high end content and with pre-made groups you’d use the 2 ammo opener which involved using reload pre-pull then waiting 30 seconds for it to come off CD. Then you’d go hot shot > quick reload > split > slug > split > burst. Then in your burst phase you’d have 3 extra ammo to play with and by the time you got through that ammo quick reload was back off CD to be used like normal. It gave you a big boost for your opening wildfire thanks both to the increased potency from ammo and the consistent procs on the rest of your burst window.
