Don't know if anyone's pointed this out but the UCoB guide is showing UWU

for 7.1 two-target rotation, wouldn't scattergun outdo 1-2-3 heat combo? heat combo is 840 to a single target with 15 heat, where as scattergun is 900 with 30 heat. what am I missing?

You're forgetting about the battery generation from the single target combo.

Man, how I wish these guides were printer friendly.

The auto-crossbow tooltip is wrong, it says 2.5sec recast time when it's 1.5sec

Sorry about that, we'll get it fixed. Seems to be an issue on the backend with how the tooltips are grabbed.

Hi,

I know the MCH stat prio, but for older ultimates, is there a way to squeeze in melds without losing stats. I know it will only be for some dps here and there, just curious.

 

Is there any set builder like the other classes have on balance?

Hi! There's technically a "real" BiS that involves dungeon gear for each of the ultimates, but the gain is so insignificant (it's small, we're talking single digit DPS) it's best to not even waste the effort in getting it. What is a gain, however, is using the Shadowbringers Relic weapon. It gains a bunch of substat. The problem here is it's also a lot of effort, but the gain is much higher. For TEA its a 1% gain, while UWU and UCoB its a 3.5% gain. Ultimately, it's up to you on what you think your time is worth when trying to get these things. You absolutely do not need them to clear, and I would honestly advise you just wear whatever gear you currently have on, as your time would be better spent researching a fight, or even just PFing the fight for experience.

As far as a builder, Machinist only has a level 90 DPS calc. It's not 100% accurate for level 70, but it should still give you a rough idea of what's better, as the job doesnt change much across the leveling process. It's linked in the resource channel there.

Thank you for the reply! 

Happy new year 🙂

The icons on the DPS rotation are not displaying correctly, but the tooltips/flyouts are correct. Can't visually check which actions they are, you have to use the tooltips.

Yes, this was due to the addition of Dismantle! We fixed it as quickly as we could, sorry about the delay.
