    Maybe inflation isn't so bad after all :p. I'll wait for -ovv or Gurks analysis before posting more.

    Are you the Scarlion ready to have some bdsm time in the sauna, the shadowy explosive pyromaniac, or the imprisoned woman who, let's be honest, could just leave at any time?

    Please don't use kebobs (or any other slow weapons) fellow bandits. Not while grinding with regular skills but also not while bombing ty.

    I realized I made a huge mistake in the meso dropping calculations. I mistakenly thought that 1 click = 1 bag when it of course takes 2 clicks to drop a bag and I'm disappointed no shads here caught it :joyful:. Therefore the relative benefit of bombing is worse than I thought (4.6m dpm instead of 5.95m). I've updated the OP to reflect this.

    ...at least there's still the secret tech ;)

    To be honest I trust your maths enough to only look at the outcome :).

    Is there a reason why you only drop mesos during DR and not while attacking? Maybe you could drop mesos while casting assassinate or meso explosion?

    I'd rather you just approach us in game and ask us so that it can spread organically instead of posting it up on the forums. :)

    I've tried dropping mesos during nate bstep macro in PB and came to the conclusion that it ultimately was not worth it. I did two DPM tests, one where I only dropped mesos during DR and one where I also dropped mesos while attacking and the DPM from both tests ended up being roughly the same.

    There's just too much of a need to reposition with the bean moving all over the place, you getting knocked around every so often and dash randomly proccing, which is too jarring while you're fixated on dropping mesos.

    That being said, I've honestly never considered dropping mesos during meso explosion. That's kind of big brain and could potentially fuel an extra ME or two.

    Figured that might be too annoying yea, maybe only attack and drop during smoke breaks. Dropping while casting ME might mess with your ME timing as it doesn't have the huge input buffer that assassinate has though maybe that can be circumvented using a macro, haven't really tried this enough myself.

    Good stuff either way, curious to see if this gets much use if any.
