This thread is for comments about our Machinist job guide.

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

Guide has been fixed, thank you! o7

[Guest guest]

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?

[Dook 13]

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

[Guest Vicion]

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?

[Dook 13]

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.

I can no longer view any of the class specific guides.  It begins to load and then blanks out. Are the guides now "Member Only"?

The page then is mostly blank/white with tiny Machinest icons - no text and ads.

Hi! Is this still an issue? The content is not available to Premium subscribers only. If there's a faulty ad that is preventing you from seeing the content, can you please share a screenshot with me so that we can look into it with our ad tech team? Your we browser and browsing location/country would help too for debugging purposes.

Many thanks and apologies for the inconvenience.

I think I got it figured out.  I MUST now create a login to view the pages.  As guest you can see in the image what I could see.  All of the white back ground is blank but it is also an ad - clicking pushes me to that page.  This wasn't required previously and this has long been my "go to" for all the classes.  So, now I have a log-in lol.

Likely most everyone else is using a log-in but might be useful for new people or random dense people like myself.

That should not be the case that you need to log in or create an account to be able to view content. The content is available to anyone visiting the site. I still believe there's an ad somewhere that is triggering that. Are you visiting the site from the US or a different country?

Please see below a screenshot that I took while browsing the site in Chrome incognito (without being logged in).

Makes sense.  It did not happen again until today - - anywhere I clicked on the entire page took me to this website. Reloaded page - even went to different sections of the website...I loaded a few other classes.  Coca-Cola hijacked me on all attempts.

  I am logging in from US.

Okay I can replicate the error and the fix.  The wide ads that hijack my view I can reverse by maximizing Chrome.  A pain since I am multitasking several things at once including an open game window - - for now as long as I can replicate the fix and the error I can go with that. "Maximize the window"....weird

Hi! Many thanks for coming back with these details. Much appreciated. I have passed them on to our ad tech team to look into it.

Both Auto Crossbow and Blazing shot/Heat Blast tooltips are wrong, they show 2.5 secs recast when theya re both 1.5 secs.

And on that theme why does the rotation guide say Hypercharge is 7.5 seconds when the duration is 10 seconds?
You can use the skill 6 times not 5 during that window yet it says you can use it 5 times

Hey there! 
Regarding the tooltips, you’re right, we’ll get someone to fix it.

During hypercharge you’re granted 5 stacks of the buff. Each can be spent on a heatblast, blazing shot, or auto crossbow. The duration of this buff is 10 seconds, which grants you some leeway. When you use the 5 possible uses of these actions on their global cooldown then you end up with 7.5 seconds. (5x1.5s=7.5s) 

I hope this explains the hypercharge situation. Thank you for pointing out the mistake in the tooltips.

Is the 2 minute example infographic correct? It has you using checkmate 4 times before the 4th checkmate can come off cooldown. Shoudln't it be double-check instead for the 4th cast?

Yes this is correct and should be fixed when the official Icy Veins images are done.

There's a problem with the Leveling Rotations and Tips for Machinist — Dawntrail 7.1. Starting from level 45 it includes the use of Barrel Stabilizer which only becomes available at level 66.

Other than that, it's a very useful tool. Thanks a lot!
