Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

I'm guessing that to ensure we get 7 buffed turret shots under the effect of Hypercharge, we'll have to move it slightly backward in the opener, to something like Bfb, HE, RS, Hypercharge, (pull) - which is one GCD later, or possibly even after the actual pull.

I was always partial to the

GB off, Bfb, HE, HOT, HC, RS, GBON, LS -> ETC

just to make sure others get the longest duration of HC as well.

Won't you clip your GCD where I marked (****)?

It's my understanding that whether you use Hypercharge after the pull like that (to really ensure that nothing is wasted), or you do it in the prepull period, the duration of the vulnerability debuff is the same. Since it's the turret shot itself that refreshes the debuff - if you get 5 shots within Hypercharge in both cases, the duration of the vulnerability debuff is the same.

But you're right that using it after the pull like that will absolutely guarantee you get the maximum benefit, it's insurance against slow tanks and what have you.
