    Heya all,
    I'm finally about to reach 60 and I started wondering what the next best opener should be. Thank you for sharing these infos and any other personal experience.
    Just got one question left about the opener and it's : what order do you use your Off-GCD skills ? Do you go from highest potency to lowest or from lowest Up-time to highest ? Does it even matter ?
    I tried a little and would go for FC -> EF -> HF -> SP to have the highest potency skills up earlier.

    Using FC first may not seem to be the best option for commun fights but since there probably will be cases of early jumps/disappear from bosses where I could rebuild my chakras, I thought to keep it that way.
    Anyway, I'm sure this isn't a major factor in term of DPS improvement but I would be glad to hear what do you guys think about it.

    If you can't get all your oGCDs off before the boss jumps, save B4B/IR/oGCDs for after the transition. You can still fire off FC if you have the time for rebuilding stacks.

    oGCD order is pretty standard. EF should be used ASAP because of it's low cooldown and high potency. HF should just be used with IR always. Peak is lower potency and fill fit in the long B4B timer regardless. Then comes FC, Mercy Stroke and Tackle. FC just needs to be fired off with all buffs up, other than that there's absolutely no reason to use it early. Tackle is used last because the cooldown isn't relevant as it's often kept for mobility. So B4B-(pot)-IR-EF-HF-SP-FC.
