Machinist and Hit master

Class Discussion Class Discussion

Hello guys!

I know the engrave Hit master is not recommended to use at Machinist (Legacy Build) bcuz at the HyperSync mode your “R” skill is frontal attack, and i think this is the high DPS skill at tranformation.

I’m running at the moment Grudge, Hit master, Raid captain, Barricade, Adreanline lvl 2 and Evo Legacy lvl 1. But after i read some guides people say hit master is WORSE then disrespect.

Someone know how much DPS i’m loosing? I know it’s some “small” min/max, but i want to know…

Thx anyway!

You lose a lot of DPS with Hit Master.
I don’t remember the exact % amount but Scouter pro players in Korea have already done multiple tests and proven that it’s not optimal at all. I don’t think it’s worse than Disrespect but it’s pretty much the same thing. It’s like having half an engraving.

It’s kinda bad on scouter. But for a budget build right now it’s fine. You can change it later.
In the future just follow KanimaXIV’s build. He’s considered the most skilled scouter player and he has the most knowledge about the class.

You are probably also going to get gatekept significantly since alot of people know hit master is a terrible engraving for your class

Sure. I know Kanima, i was just watching his live now and he said its pure trolling. But he also said (just now) it’s more or less 3-5% less dmg then other builds… So i think i can hold it now… I play more casual then min/max players.
As you said its budget build. The perfect is Cursed doll instead of HM. But well… i do f2p.

Thx for the quick reply man.

This is F. I hope not.

If you don’t really care too much about min/maxing then I don’t see why you shouldn’t run hit master. As you mentioned, the only major skill not affected by hit master is hypersync’s r skill, echelon beam, while literally almost every other skill in and outside of hypersync mode does. Legendary and relic accessories with evolutionary legacy engraving + BiS engraving costs an arm and a leg atm too so theres that to consider as well.

My alt scouter is at 1415 iLVL and has correct combat stats legendary accessories with 4x3 engravings (evolutionary legacy, adrenaline, grudge, and hit master). Costed me about 100k gold for that setup and thats with hit master as a budget engraving. I absolutely abhor cutting rocks in this game.

Personally iam using Hitmaster because its still an 11-12% dmg increase and i was able to snatch 2 Relic Earrings with Evolution and over 90 quality for around 8k Gold for both. all the other “optimal” choices like barrikade,Raid Captain or even Stabilized Status cost like 100k a piece for decent quality
