The Updated Opener

Single Gauss Round
This is the prefered opener for most top end machinists. Gives the highest potential burst in wildfire and sets you up for better buff alignment later on in the fight.

Items in Bold are oGCD abilities.

On run-back or while buffing
Quick Reload for Two ammo

8 sec Pre-Pull
-Gauss Barrel (on)

*Technically you can start you Hot Shot with 1 second on the pull timer, but your tanks need to be on the ball for the pull. If your tanks are slow to react this WILL screw with boss positioning, so adjust accordingly.

AoE
First, keep up Hot Shot + Gauss Barrel + Bishop Autoturret. Then decide depending on the number of targets as well as the encounter length.
If the targets will live for less than 30 seconds, use Grenado Shot.
If the targets will live more than 30 seconds, use Spread Shot.
