Discussion on Mechanics DPM and how to calculate them.

-Can Satellites, Bot 'n' Tots and Rock 'n' Shock do critical damage? Do they ignore monsters PDRate? Are they affected by %attack and %damage potential and buffs? How fast do those skills hit/summon robots?

Satellites/BnS/RnS don't crit
Not a clue
They are
Not a clue

So for a Zakum run, the best combination of skills would be

8 to 5 arms -> Laser Blast
4 to 2 arms -> Laser Blast + Siege Mode
Last arm -> Siege Mode + Missile Tank
Body -> Siege Mode + Missile Tank

Satellite and Amplifier would be used the whole fight while Bot 'n' Tots would be used on the body and the lower arms (if you place the factory before summoning the boss), but Rock 'n' Shock would only be useful if used before Zakum is summoned.

Even with 5-8 arms, you'll want to use Siege Mode. In my attempt to solo zak yesterday morning I killed arms faster (when there was more than one left) by comboing Laser Blast and Siege mode.


Also, we rather need confirmation when it comes to if Robot Mastery does increase Satellite's damage too. I won't be able to check myself for quite a while as I'm only 133.
