Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

I only used GB with my opening Wildfire burst at 52:

Gauss Barrel > Place Turret > Hot Shot (Blood for Blood, Raging Strikes, Hawk's Eye) > Lead Shot (Reload, Wildfire) > Split Shot (Rapid Fire) > Slug Shot (Reassemble) > Clean Shot (Blank) > Split Shot (Quick Reload) > Slug Shot (Head Graze) > Clean Shot > Split Shot

You can wait to get all your oGCD skills off when you need to pop your damage up abilities (B4B, RS, and HE) and also Reload into Wildfire because both of those skills have a 30s timer. It's just important you get all those skills in during the 15s of Wildfire for a huge burst of damage that will set your DPS for the next 3 minutes.

When you start getting the new skills (Hypercharge, Gauss Round, and Ricochet) I put Hypercharge between Reload and Wildfire. If you have quick fingers you can fit 2 oGCD skills in on the 2nd set of the Split > Slug > Clean combo because procs are no-cast time with normal GCD.

I'm not sure how this compares to the DPS put out in the OP but it gives me 3k+ Wildfires at level 57 with the level 55 weapon when all CDs are lined up and 1.8k-2.5k when Raging Strikes is down. The advantage for me is that it gives me a very clear rotation for Wildfire proccing without wasting any of the oGCDs when Wildfire isn't ticking.

This is what I assume my rotation will look like at 60 once I get Ricochet and not putting in a potion:

Gauss Barrel > Place Turret (Hypercharge) > Hot Shot (Blood for Blood, Raging Strikes, Hawk's Eye) > Lead Shot (Reload, Wildfire) > Split Shot (Rapid Fire) > Slug Shot (Reassemble) > Clean Shot (Ricochet) > Split Shot (Blank, Quick Reload) > Slug Shot (Head Graze) > Clean Shot > Split Shot
