Now if we follow the same idea, one GCD, two off GCD's for Mech you get:
Between the Eyes 450
Gauss Round with ammo on GCD 220
A Rapid Fire Gauss Round with ammo for 660 (off GCD)
Total 1,330
Nor does that need two gcd's to set up.

Even after adjustment Mech beats out Bard by a total of 250 Pot (basically a third combo hit from a melee). 1,080 is good, but a double fell with Brutal Swing from a WAR is 1,100 (500+100+500). So it is not "special" (unless I missed something in the Pot calc)

Not saying Bards are not good, and any really good player is going to make you go damn it in solo-que. But a really good Mech, with that Pot? Brown Pants.
