Marksmanship Sniper/Sharpshooter Gunslinger Compendium

[Gronx]

First of all, thanks for the contributions so far, helped me to become a better gunslinger.

I have two topics which might be relevant for this conversation, Alacrity (in 1.2) and relic/adrenal usage.

Alacrity

As briefly touched upon by Tibbel in the compendium, the focus of the gunslingers rotations during burst volley procs should shift towards the higher damage/time abilities over the damage/energy rotations usually used.

An interesting subject in this discussion, is then the benefit of alacrity stat, as this stat (or abilities/skills boosting it) seems to provide this in and of itself. So, dear theorycrafters, might it be possible to take a second look at this stat, especially with regards to the AoE vs Alacrity skill choice, and/or the relative stat ranking of alacrity?

Another interesting point here, is the value of a "pure" Sharpshooter(Marksman) build, and the triple speed shot option, where a major counterpoint seems to be the delayed quickshot, a delay which decreases significantly with alacrity procs/stats.

Relic/adrenal usage


In general, it would be really nice for new gunslingers (like myself) to learn a bit about the correct way to use adrenals/relics/illegal mods, especially with regards to proc effects and skill coefficients.

My main point interest, would be the value of waiting for procs (like burst volley), versus instantly using cooldowns in fights, as well as the "correct" skills to use them with. By "correct skill", I mean the different power contributions to skills, as in, should I use my power adrenal before or after a Quick shot? Are they better used with the 3x Speed Shot combo?

I would very much appreciate some theory and thoughts about this, as I cannot help but feel that the 1.2 burst volley change created some interesting mechanical possibilities for maxing the gunslinger/sniper.
