The opener that Hax uses is pretty close to the one that all the Good MCH's are using. There is a little debate about how you pre-pop your buffs and where you place Quick Reload but those details are really minor.

Such as Where do you put HC in your buff pre-pop and Do you use Quick Reload before or after Blank.

Can someone enlighten me on the derivation for auto-attack potency listed in that Youtube video?

"Auto Attack Potency vs Gauss Barrel
To make auto attack potency fair we’ll use the GCD timer instead of weapon delay to determine it’s potency

(GCD/3)*100= Auto attack potency vs Gauss Barrel
example: GCD=2.41
(2.41/3)*100=80.3 potency"

What does this mean? What is the significance of the GCD timer being used instead of weapon delay? Why is the GCD value divided by 3? Etc.
