@@CaetsuChaijiCh hey had to shoot my shot, sometimes rotations are easier to remember when you can put it in a funny way x3 like how we say Summoners rotation is "hit the big crayon, then eat it. Then eat your three primal crayons, and then you can do it all over again!"
@angelvaladez625 very true! Comedy can sometimes be far more effective for memory than repetition! It causes the listener to do the repetition themselves! 😂
6:00 dumping all your charges is definitely important on OK to bad ping. With the 2 charge cap you WILL overcap if you don't weave at least 1 (possibly two) of each. But if you weave every heatblast you will clip your GCD too much for all the hits to get in during wildfire.
31:30 do ANY of the ranged actually want SKS? Maybe BRD I guess? I wish there was a toggle for SKS, like... you have to put up with it being on gear but you can switch it off lol
@Scerttle i dont think so? Machinists hate it. Dancers due to standard step especially don't like it, and I don't think bards care for it either - which made it funnier that there was a huge amount of skill speed on the initial ranged tome gear if I recall correctly 😂
Hey Caetsu. I was wondering if there are any plans to release a gunbreaker guide? Would be pretty nice to have especially with the commentary you provide and in-depth knowledge
I plan to remake all of my job guides. Until then, my gunbreaker starter guide and 61-90 guides should cover most of the levels. I believe the new lion heart combo replaces the triple burst strike in the two minute burst, and sonic break can be pushed to later in the burst too, so that could work in the interim before I get around to the job 😅😊
i love your videos, mch is my favorite ranged dps, i main tank but i always feel like i do mch wrong xD this video made me sure that i infact do my mch buttons correctly xD
@GinjaSama I'm on EU yes, and I often play with people who watch the channel either on stream on Tuesdays, or through an "unofficial" linkshell some of the members of the channel run. 😊
Hi Caetsu! I was wondering if you plan to also cover Disciple of the Hand/Land for lvl 100? There probably aren't that many changes at all unlike the battle jobs, but to be honest, I'm asking because I would really like to see your lvl 100 hotbars. I very much copy your hotbars for everything XD
I probably won't cover gatherer crafter stuff as I simply haven't kept up with it much myself, and to be perfectly honest I feel my crafter bars especially are a mess 😂 Thank you for asking though! 😊
Optinal battery gauge use to make sure you have 100 battery for two minute bursts is so cursed ive had to sit down and run through my rotation for 6+ minutes just to practice the timings for it.
I've been trying to look for one, but could you do a Sage guide? Nobody made one for 7.05 and I can't tell if its because there's no change to its rotation pre 7.0 or if nobody has done it yet. I just want to learn about my healer machinist :(
I will eventually get around to it 😅 but below level 91 the only change to the job is the addition of eukrasian dyskrasia, which in broad strokes mean that you should apply that in an aoe situation instead of applying eukrasian dosis to each target. Above those levels there's of course psyche as a new attack to use on cooldown. And you also get philosophia as a major cooldown at level 100 to deal with sustained raid wide damage for example 😊 Aside from these things, my latest endwalker guides for sage should at least help you to level 90! 😅
Direct hit damage has been 25% for as long as I can remember at least off the top of my head, which should mean certainly back to shadowbringers, but probably also stormblood! No worries, it shouldn't change much about your perception about the stat I suppose! 😁 Thank you!
I never cared for the 'tool' for machinist when it became a thing... I did recently come across a mod that I like though, 'Oops all snipers'. Changes out the tool animations for the pvp limit break effects of a sniper rifle.
Oh I understand, it was just that I could imagine sometimes having that same animation play 2-3 times in a row would look silly! If it works for you that's what matters! 😊
Why do you recommend using air anchor as the first tool of the opener over drill? Unless mistaken either way results in the same dps, or am I missing something?
Air anchor generates battery, drill does not. So getting its cooldown running sooner is often more beneficial. Letting drill wait a bit also has a very weird roundabout result of allowing you to land two drills inside raid buffs more easily. Air anchor going first also signifies it as a clear indicator of the start of your burst 😊 But as long as both are used regularly and kept their cooldowns spinning the power difference is probably reasonably small if you really really prefer drill first 😅
the math around "effective potency" gets pretty ridiculous pretty quickly but as Cae said, the battery makes Air Anchor a higher priority. Automaton Queen's damage is crazy, especially once she gets Crowned Collider, so 20 battery gauge is worth nearly 500 more potency on top of the base 600 (assuming you spend that gauge before the fight ends)
That's the worst 😰 If you really want to try it anyway, once you can hold 3 charges of them, if you use hyper charge right after getting them both fully spent, you could perform five blazing shots without wasting any of the ogcds. That would of course not be optimal, but it would be playable for I'd imagine most content 😅
Those kinds of charts and graphics are often better served in a different kind of media for a guide i think 🤔 thanks for the suggestion though! I don't think it's so much rules that change but more what is considered "most effective" that changes. You will probably do okay using aoe buttons on 3 targets for example, even if at some certain level range some aoe options are better on 4 targets or some such! 😊
Heat blast does less potency than drill, clean shot and at low enough level even hot shot, and reassemble is effectively a percentage gain, so bigger potency = better! Auto crossbow is either same or less potency than spread shot or scatter gun, so you simply don't need to use it on auto cross bow, OR it is straight up worse again, potency wise. And at high level, chainsaw is better too 😊

Just started Machinist and I absolutely LOVE this job! It's so freaking fun!
That's awesome to hear! I hope you continue to have lots of fun with it! 😄
My favorite physical range class. Many thanks for the guide.
That's excellent! I hope you found it helpful! 😄
Perfect! This is the job I am currently leveling.
Waiting for reaper :3
Yay! I hope you have fun leveling machinist! 😄

Indeed. And on terrible ping it can be even more mandatory since maybe you can't weave at all during hyper charge!
Can confirm lmao

My hero, i can be cool now
Gun and explosions time! 😄😄
Do you personally enjoy MCH Caetsu? I am curious, loved the video btw!
I enjoy playing all jobs, some I just enjoy more! Machinist is fun, but I do find it challenging when trying to optimize it! 😅

3:10 did they increase direct hit damage? Cause I could've sworn it was 20% and not 25.
Great guide as always, that just confused me

Well, it is just air anchor, drill, chainsaw, and excavator iirc.
Not every skill.

Tbh, you might as well use richochet on the boss or a single enemy pull since you get them back so quickly
Indeed! You should be using both ricochet and gauss rounds on any kind of target. It just so happens ricochet also has an aoe component as a bonus! 😅😁
weaving the 2 ability between the other skills is the reason i stopped playing mch, sadly with my ping is imposible to do it...
That's the worst 😰
If you really want to try it anyway, once you can hold 3 charges of them, if you use hyper charge right after getting them both fully spent, you could perform five blazing shots without wasting any of the ogcds. That would of course not be optimal, but it would be playable for I'd imagine most content 😅
The rules change so often it’s hard to follow. Some kind of chart or graphic to show what the cutoffs are and how they change with level would be nice
Those kinds of charts and graphics are often better served in a different kind of media for a guide i think 🤔 thanks for the suggestion though!
I don't think it's so much rules that change but more what is considered "most effective" that changes. You will probably do okay using aoe buttons on 3 targets for example, even if at some certain level range some aoe options are better on 4 targets or some such! 😊
Why not use reassemble before heat blast or auto crossbow?
Heat blast does less potency than drill, clean shot and at low enough level even hot shot, and reassemble is effectively a percentage gain, so bigger potency = better!
Auto crossbow is either same or less potency than spread shot or scatter gun, so you simply don't need to use it on auto cross bow, OR it is straight up worse again, potency wise. And at high level, chainsaw is better too 😊
those aoe rotations give me headaches
Haha there's a lot of cut off points for machinist specifically 😂
Personally because of double check and checkmate I feel like auto crossbow is useless in aoe and using blazing shot is better to use those ogcd aoes
Well, that's the reason why auto crossbow doesn't win out specifically until 5 targets at max level! 😅
It is a surprising amount of targets!
