I suddenly realized that a good MCH glam shot would be using Barrel Stabilizer during one of Omega's monitor moves in O12S.

And also while a SCH is using Chain Stratagem in the background.

How important is skill speed to MCH? I'm currently sitting at a 2.33s GCD.

Like WAR, you need to fit in 5 GCDs under Wildfire to do damage worth a drat. Unlike WAR, you have Rapid Fire to make that a much easier task. Therefore, at a basic level, you have enough SKS as long as you can fit in 3-2-3-CD-CD within one Wildfire, and any more is wasted stats you could be putting towards Crit, DH, or Det.

The actual *harm* from having excess SKS depends on how you feel about your numbers not being high as they could be, or having your cooldown abilities no longer lining up cleanly over time, and continuing to drift apart as a fight goes on.

I thought RF puts your GCD at a hard 1.5s regardless of skill speed?

That is correct. I believe that 1.5s is actually the absolute minimum GCD as well. However, Rapid Fire only lasts for 3 weaponskill uses. As a result, you still need to get out two more weaponskills under Wildfire, but because you've got literally ~5 seconds to do so, you could live with zero SKS and still hit them. Hence, SKS is highly devalued for MCH.

There is an argument to be made for pushing for more SKS to get six GCDs under Wildfire, but it's a DPS loss. Maybe in the future, but not right now.

I'll make a parse tonight. My weapon is ilevel 370 and my gear average is 373. I had a normal O9N parse last night sitting right at 5358 DPS or thereabouts.

Edit: Here's the breakdown for that specific fight.

SSS is more of a benchmark to compare how much changes in your rotation/gear improve your ability to contribute in a fight, if you meet the iLvl requirements for content you should be able to clear it with enough practice.

Are you hitting your positionals? Are you doing a delayed first Life, or just popping Life as soon as you can? Are your buffs lining up with CT and FT and your Life windows? Are you ever using Mirage Dive when you already have the full eye?

And the Lord Josh said, "Blessed are those cast away by Belichick, theirs is the kingdom of Denver." (Tebow 1:25)
MCH Skill speed is not universally terrible. You do want a little bit of it to make your overheat windows not a severe pain in the rear end to fit six GCDs inside of. But yeah, you really don't want to go terribly high on it if you can avoid it (which in this tier is drat near impossible).

The actually important fact about skill speed is that it has no impact whatsoever on your turret's damage, and that's real bad.

edit: Pupuru, if I recall you're doing the high-ping 3 ammo opener? In that case, avoid skill speed like the plague. Not at the expense of tons of weapon damage or dexterity if you can help it, but it is an extraordinarily bad stat with that opener.

I’d be surprised if six wildfire GCDs becomes a thing ever - it’s more likely that 5.0 makes the question moot once we see what the new fresh hell will be.

If you’re playing at a reasonable ping you should absolutely work for six overheated GCDs though! At 80ish ms ping I can hit it a good chunk of the time. Not always, and sometimes the servers do not cooperate at all. o10s has been a real pain about it for whatever reason.

Are you hitting your positionals? Yes, whenever the fight is allowing it. I'll use True North if mechanics require me to stand in a specific spot and I can't move.

Are you doing a delayed first Life, or just popping Life as soon as you can? I am using Life as soon as I get three eyes and ~25 secs on my Blood of the Dragon meter.

Are your buffs lining up with CT and FT and your Life windows? I'm using buffs on cooldown and I'm double weaving buffs the first couple of global cooldowns during my opener.

Are you ever using Mirage Dive when you already have the full eye? No, I make sure not to waste Mirage Dive procs.

I'm trying to reduce my SkS down from like 1800. This apparently causing my cooldown abilities to get out of alignment from what I've read.
