Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Aiurily]

Question for all your MCH vets. I recently got mine to 60 and have been tossing between this and BRD for my ranged DPS/support job. I can execute the opener with my eyes closed (SMN main makes pulling oGCDs in the opener simple), but I found myself doing about 100 more DPS with my BRD on the SSS dummy (both jobs were at i198). My question is about the rotation as a fight goes on. I've been told that the only cooldown to hold is holding Hawk's Eye a bit so it lines up with B4B, so does that mean that you pop EVERYTHING else as it comes off cooldown (specifically your oGCDs like Gauss shot, Head Graze, Ricochet, etc.)?

in a nutshell yes. there are minor nuances, but they won't affect your dps by 100 less
