In general, Hideouts animations are much smoother and happen more sequentially while Phase Walks animations just kind of happen on top of everything else. You can use whichever feels more comfortable to you. This advanced class passive is responsible for giving Gunslingers their 35m range on damaging abilities and 30m range on CC, as well as giving them one of their DPS debuffs (the individual specs only provide 1 debuff as opposed to 2). Explore. This is the rotation you use at the very beginning of the fight and for burst DPS checks. Aimed Shot has 1 proc associated with it that is relevant to your rotation. Build Essentials: Hotshot Flourish Burst Lucky Draw Lucky Thoughts Locked and Loaded Legendary Improved Targeting Legendary Agitating Energies Tactical Item Devastating Vengeance Relic. Be sure to pay attention when something is stunnable though, because that often means youre intended to stun it. Unless theres a mechanic that prevents you from dealing damage or forces you to stop DPSing, you should not stop DPSing. With the Improved Targeting Legendary Implant, you should be able to apply Smugglers Luck to almost all uses of Aimed Shot, though its super close. Unless its clear that one of your other movement speed boosts is better like if you have already placed Hideout or youre out of range of the boss, this should be your default movement speed boost ability since its the most versatile. Note:. Its great for burst DPS checks are tight enough and frequent enough to where you need 2 charges of Smugglers Luck for each one and cant get that with the normal cooldown. The increased duration of Hunker Down results in slightly higher uptime, but the animation still ends after 20 seconds even though the buff sticks around for the correct duration. I prefer Agitating Energies, but you could use Refraction Point or even B-0 Differential Targeting System (PvP tactical) if you prefer. Surrender is used at this point because the tanks AoE Taunt will likely be wearing off soon, so this is when you will cause your threat drop to reduce your threat by the greatest amount. Choosing not to use a Medpac for financial reasons and subsequently dying is not a valid excuse. The increased alacrity makes it so you can fit the Penetrating Rounds channel and an additional Trickshot into a similarly sized window of time, even though the gap is normally only a GCD. I will update this section of the guide when that vendor is released. And the first level of Agility gives you access to the Gunslinger perk, which you need for this build. Arcane Gunslinger gone Rogue is a Character Build in Outward, created by NuclearEeg. Just like in 6.0, augments are largely about how much you want to spend. The Build Essentials are what I consider to be the core components that make the build viable. In PvP, you are limited by the "Book of Coordination" which grants you a total of 340 skill points to distribute between your skills. This needs to happen or you will deal less DPS than if you just casted one Charged Burst. Youre able to do this because the ability is only usable within 5 seconds after using each of those abilities. Author of a ton of SWTOR Class Guides for VULKK.com. Here are some times when its generally a good idea to use Scrambling Field: Dont save it for a rainy day because today is that rainy day! From the perspective of the highest burst, the second option is best, though from my limited testing, I didnt see a noticeable difference between the two from the perspective of sustained DPS. The third option is less consistent, it seems to be there as an extra balance lever for BioWare since some abilities that got locked away are more impactful than others. It would be kind of neat if they put more effort into having this work though since Gunslingers arent the only class that have something like this. Welcome to my 7.0 guide for Sharpshooter Gunslinger! Sharpshooters AoE tactical adds AoE damage to some of your abilities, so just keep doing your rotation and adhering to the priority I listed for when to use Sweeping Gunfire over your other abilities and youll be fine. (Ranged/Energy/Direct/AoE/Channeled)This is your spammable AoE. If a tank is out of defensive cooldowns and needs another its okay to use. Next up you have to enter cover. Almost all of the burst specs in the game have a passive very similar to this one where their spammable AoE has increased critical chance and damage to compensate for not having a DoT spread. The spec is designed such that you use the other two groupings of abilities once each before the third becomes available again. Contents 1 Summary 2 Other Useful Skills 3 Full Build Details 3.1 Overview 4 Combos 5 See Also Summary Other Useful Skills Infuse Frost Infuse Wind Infuse Blood Elemental Discharge Focus Possessed (skill) Cool (skill) Full Build Details Overview Its still necessary to activate Cool Head ASAP if you find yourself below 45 Energy, but its less optimal to wait that long if you can help it. If you arent in cover, you will run out of Energy. If you played in the last expansion, hold onto whatever you have, though it is unlikely that youll be able to salvage all of them. One-Time Tip via PayPalMonthly Patreon Pledge. This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged. Ranged DPS in general tend to have longer cooldowns on their interrupts, than Melee, so if theres something specific that needs repeated interrupting, a Melee DPS or tank will be assigned to it, though this doesnt mean you cant interrupt things as well. Honestly, I wouldnt specifically cater to Sharpshooters needs at all. Con: Essential on any adventurer. Please be careful to not activate Smugglers Luck again until you consume the previous stack. Adrenal and Illegal Mods are all up next, it doesnt matter which order these get activated in, but you just want them to all be active for Aimed Shot since its such a big hit. This means that the cover bar isnt really useful anymore, so feel free to turn it off in the settings (User Interface > General > uncheck Enable Cover Bar). Build Essentials: Hotshot Flourish Burst Energy Barrels Ballistic Dampers Bombing Run Locked and Loaded Legendary Improved Targeting Legendary. Since Defense Screen has such a short cooldown and is relatively weak, this ability wont really protect you from a whole lot on its own and its much better served just keeping your health high and mitigating minor spikes so that your health will be higher when the actual damage comes. Despite all this, thanks to their group utility, there are still situations where Sharpshooter can be worth bringing to a raid. Despite all that, it is still used in single-target situations when you get to pre-cast, like prior to pulling or right before downtime ends, particularly if that downtime is right before a burst DPS check. This cooldown is unique to Sharpshooter Gunslingers. You can also just do a single GCD of the channel in your gap, though sometimes you really do need to channel it for a while. There are only a handful of instances in operations where CC is required, so I will briefly go over what this Combat Style has at their disposal in addition to any other abilities I havent yet mentioned. You can also swap out the Improved Targeting Implant, Ballistic Redistribution, and Relic of Serendipitous Assault for the Energy Regulator Implant, Lucky Thoughts, and Relic of Devastating Vengeance (dont forget to fix your Alacrity). The only time that timing is irrelevant is when you already have a charge on cooldown. Its still a noticeable DPS increase for the specs that provide it, but as a DPS debuff and piece of raid utility, it doesnt matter. Unfortunately, the Ranged debuff is arguably the worst DPS debuff in the game because all the specs that already deal a significant amount of their damage as Ranged damage already provide it themselves. Can the healers deal with it without too much stress? The alacrity boost is much stronger than the critical chance boost, but content isnt balanced around these guild perk set bonuses anyway, so I find it better to just have a smaller boost I dont have to worry about as opposed to a larger boost that I have to interact with. This build is for those that want to be able to use any rifle or pistol weapon. Even with the inconsistent uptime, you can easily wind up taking less damage than other classes since you can control when your mitigation is active to take less damage against big hits. This will be fixed the next time you use Burst Volley though. Gunslingers are renowned for their extremely high ASPD and HIT using Guns. Refraction Point also has a very nice bonus, since it causes Penetrating Rounds to deal damage to multiple enemies and Penetrating Rounds applies the armor debuff, this tactical allows you to provide the armor debuff to multiple enemies at the same time, which is super rare. You should wait to enter cover until after you cast Bombing Run though because you dont want to proc your relics from the passive healing from your Vital Regulators utility before you actually enter combat. This is your CC break. How can I do as much damage as possible in each GCD (global cooldown, 1.5s duration before you can activate another ability) given the constraints of the fight? Note: You can also utilize the Energy Regulator implant in exchange for Locked and Loaded, allowing you to give up the Energy Barrels ability tree buff, without losing DPS, but you dont gain any DPS on the dummy while Locked and Loaded is more generically useful. It has a relatively steep learning curve through its three weapon cycle but in return, rewards with a high-value party utility and high personal damage. If there is downtime during a fight, remember that you can precast things and often place your DoTs on shortly before the boss can actually take damage. If you want to go the extra mile, you can try to activate it 15-ish seconds before you begin pre-casting before a pull so you will just barely have enough time left on the proc for when you cast Aimed Shot, but I really dont think its worth it because if you mess up, you end up having to wait and the most youll get is maybe an extra use at the very end of the fight. If you want to see it in action, just try to do your rotation on enemies out of cover. Finish up with a Blood Bullet, and if they're somehow still alive they'll be heavily debuffed and ready to take 6x damage from your Opportunist Stab. Technically its okay to use this if you genuinely think you will die if you dont knock the enemies back right now, but honestly I think the better play is to just let yourself die and then throw a tantrum about why the tanks didnt keep the adds off of you and why you didnt get enough heals, though make sure youve used your threat drop and all your DCDs already. Build Essentials can include important ability tree buffs, a tactical item, and even legendary items occasionally. In all builds, youll need to use it sub-30% after youve used Quickdraw a few times. An AoE abilitys place in the priority is as high as it can be until it reaches a single-target ability that deals more damage than the AoE will deal to all enemies in the GCD. Unfortunately, you cant really use this rotationally, so unless theres a phase where the entire group is only AoEing, its best to hold off on using it and see if other classes rotational AoE and DoT spread can take care of it or switch to Dirty Fighting or Saboteur if you know them so that you can do rotational AoE. Their sustained DPS is very low and their burst DPS is okay, but nothing to write home about. It doesnt always work, but its worth trying to figure out which circles will kill you and which you can survive completely, or at least survive long enough that you can get to a point in your rotation where you will lose minimal DPS from moving. If you can tweak the order that you use your DCDs where it allows you to get an extra use out of one of them over the course of a long burn phase, you should definitely do that instead of activating your potentially stronger DCDs first. It would also work as an alternative to stunning one of the Chained Manifestations on Styrak NiM. Its good to have 1 emergency panic button too, but everything else should be used to prevent your health from getting low in the first place. The existence of the gap helps to cover for a lot of things that occur in an actual raiding environment, but not on a dummy, like needing to spend a GCD to roll, activate Diversion, hard stun, etc., so you might end up performing better in a lot of fights, particularly ones with a lot of mechanics, by using this build instead of the Sustained DPS build. Its not the end of the world to use this ability for movement though since there isnt a lot of damage you can do when out of cover anyway, so sometimes you just have to give up the GCD. Operatives are in a similar situation where they lost Surrender, but have access to a passive that gives effects they lost to Dodge. The earlier you activate it, the earlier youll be able to activate it again. The best time to activate this is right before you cast the Aimed Shot before Burst Volley that will be followed by Penetrating Rounds x2 thanks to Burst Volley so your Illegal Mods rotation will look like: The accuracy increase is not applicable in PvE because bosses dont have additional defense chance like that. Even if you mess up, keep doing the rotation! Trying to use abilities before you have all the procs just means youll end up having to do more Charged Bursts later. There isnt much of a discernable DPS difference between the two approaches and if youd rather not have to worry about this sort of thing at all, its okay to just never use Trickshot if its procced by Quickdraw. Also assuming i did somehow magically cheat a chimera pistol onto my ps4, im not sure this would make the build any more successful. The Cannon Pistol's single available enchant pairs perfectly with our build, providing a small frost and mana boost. You do need to be mindful of what type of damage youre mitigating with Surrender because it changes what other defensives youre allowed to use at the same time. Much like what has to happen with Burst Volley, you can leverage the existence of the gap to not delay your high priority abilities by using a non-rotational ability earlier than you would observe the gap. Hunker Down also provides CC immunity. Build Essentials can include important ability tree . Vital Shot is applied prior to your first Trickshot because you only need to use Trickshot before your next ability that procs it and Vital Shot does not proc Trickshot. This build makes use of the Time To Hunt Engraving, although there are Raid builds for BOTH Class Engravings. Hold PositionWhile in cover, Ranged defense is increased by 20%, you cannot be leapt to or pulled, and you are immune to interrupts and ability activation pushback. Since there isnt a new crafting tier yet, there arent any new tiers of augments yet either, so just like with Biochem items, youll be using stuff from 6.0. Since damage intake management is primarily a tank and healer job, this ability is primarily to make their lives easier. If youre taking Bombing Run, you can cast it in AoE situations if at least 2 enemies will get hit by at least one tick and at least one enemy gets hit by every single tick. It's considered to be one of the hardest classes to play, due to having to shuffle around your weapons, but it is also one of the most rewarding when played correctly. Please note that properly timing subsequent Smugglers Lucks can result in a slightly shorter cooldown duration. 2 choices buff a discipline-specific ability (2 abilities, 1 choice each). Make sure you place all of these abilities on your bar in an order that makes sense to you. This ability can also be used in the gap slot for some rotational AoE, though make sure at least one target gets hit by the entire thing. This proc is pretty straightforward, it just makes it so that Quickdraw is buffed when below 30%. In fights where youll be taking a high amount of sustained damage, its important to use your DCDs in the order that maximizes your overall uptime. It also has some fairly strong procs that help to compensate for its low damage and there isnt really anything else you can use that isnt weaker. Obsidian pistol applies burning. Due to the Trickshot ability and how all the different procs and damage boosts interact, it doesnt really help to just use all your abilities on cooldown. This gives you an extra GCD on your Adrenal which can help in tight checks. Gunslinger Meta Pvp Deathmatch SP: 340 2. Sharpshooter Gunslingers pair best with Operative / Scoundrel DPS since both parties provide both of the DPS debuffs needed by the other and offer all necessary debuffs for any Tech DPS Combat Style (besides the non-essential AoE debuff). Youll probably need a lot more accuracy and alacrity augments to reach the associated stat thresholds. Reset Engagement also causes the final tick of Penetrating Rounds to knock back its target if they are within 10m of you. This can happen whenever you have 2 charges of Smugglers Luck, which will always be the case during your opener. Yet they also have the ability to become Rambo, if you want a siege type gunslinger you should probably do dexterity and vitality . There are 3 different tiers to consider. Definitely still try to use it and be as preemptive as possible, but this ability really only works when you can predict when and where AoE will be needed well in advance, so this ability is better suited to fights with constant adds. It gives you 100% defense/resist chance for the duration of the roll, meaning youre completely immune to taking damage during your roll, provided that its damage that is mitigable, so it wont work against things like 0 damage kills and typeless damage. The Gunslinger is a Striker, plain and simple. A lot of the time things are immune to being knocked back and when they arent immune, its better that theyre all grouped up to be killed as fast as possible.

What started as a basic Rogue abusing Shatter Bullet evolved into this monstrosity of a frost/physical burst build once I picked up Frost Bullet. This is why theres always so much emphasis on the AoE RDT buffs and part of why Gunslingers should generally have very low DTPS.

(Tech/Kinetic/Direct/AoE/Instant)If youre unable to take Hot Pursuit, Thermal Grenade is a great option to use while moving, though it does cost 20 Energy, so only use it if you can afford it. The cutoff is 9 uses of Quickdraw, which takes a little over 90 seconds, so if the boss has enough health to where youre using more than 9 Quickdraws, then you should skip using the Trickshot procced by Quickdraw and just use Quickdraw exclusively in the gap slot until there are 90 seconds left since Trickshot + a Vital Shot tick is less than the damage dealt by Aimed Shot or Penetrating Rounds. A lot of the time, adds just dont survive that long. The second relic depends on which build youre using. You can still use non-rotational abilities that are on the GCD even before its time for the Charged Burst grouping, though its less ideal since the gap will get moved for the next cycle to before Penetrating Rounds instead.

Aside from damage #s its completely irrelevant what pistol im using with it. This build offers roughly the same amount of sustained DPS compared to the Burst and Versatility Build Ill be talking about next, but that DPS increase for this build is derived from cooldown reductions and Energy efficiency, so it is incredibly dependent on high uptime. If you think Medpacs are too expensive, its time to get Biochem on one of your alts or even better, your raiding toon so that you can make your own or get reusables. While it seems pretty identical to Sorcerer / Sage Phase Walk on the surface, there are several key differences: Luckily, the ability is still off the GCD, even though it has a castbar, so you can still use it while the GCD is active for another ability.

When one of the tanks or healers just died, pop it instantly, especially if a tank just died, because theres a good chance that the boss is about to hit someone else or the group really hard.

Here is how many targets it takes for Sweeping Gunfire to surpass each of your rotational abilities in terms of damage per GCD, so if at least X number of targets are present, you can keep channeling Sweeping Gunfire instead of one going into one of these groupings: If you ever use this ability in a boss fight, make sure youre taking the Efficient Ammo ability tree buff. If you do constantly have to rebuild it because the fight has a lot of downtime, you will have slightly less DPS overall. In case you needed another reason to want to use Penetrating Rounds on cooldown, it also applies the strongest of the DPS debuffs in the game, the armor debuff. While it used to be the case that you couldnt use most of your abilities unless you were in cover, nowadays the only abilities you have to be in cover for are Sweeping Gunfire, Pulse Detonator, and Hunker Down. Sharpshooters rotation is basically to just cycle through 3 main groupings of abilities, all of which include a single use of Trickshot, and then theres a single GCD gap before Aimed Shot tends to come off cooldown. Most notably, Sharpshooter is the only ranged spec that offers the armor debuff, so if your group needs ranged DPS and lacks the armor debuff, the group DPS gain from the armor debuff can be enough to compensate for the reduced output from Sharpshooter itself.

They are intended to be changed on the fly and having a clearer idea of what all of them do will help you to recognize situations where individual choices will be useful in-game.

BioWare will likely be making balance changes throughout the first few patches, so be sure to check back to this guide after each update. You wont get the full damage of your DoTs but you also wont have to spend a GCD to apply them when the boss is vulnerable, so you will end up dealing more damage. Im not sure why this is. This proc further reinforces that Charged Burst is supposed to be used twice and turns Aimed Shot from a 2s cast into a 1.5s cast, meaning it is a GCD.

(Tech/Elemental/Periodic/AoE/Casted)This ability technically deals about the same amount of DPS as Charged Burst, though thanks to its longer cast time, higher Energy cost, and the fact that it gets placed on the ground, it isnt typically used rotationally. If its Melee/Ranged damage, this will be the only DCD youll need because this will always mitigate all of the damage you take (provided you arent stunned). Dont pop all of your DCDs at once or only use them when your health gets low. Burst Volley also finishes the cooldown on Penetrating Rounds when it is activated and there are two ways you can utilize this. What more could you need? That said, Sharpshooter still offers barely acceptable survivability thanks to the tools they didnt lose. This allows it to be slotted into any group composition without causing problems. In order to deal maximum damage, Sharpshooter requires 2 other DPS debuffs: Sharpshooter is extremely independent when it comes to DPS debuffs. Some of the important items you need are . Some DPS is better than zero DPS. To be clear, Operative / Scoundrel DPS is by no means required and is not the only Combat Style that provides the DPS debuffs used by Sharpshooter, they are just the most efficient and allow greater flexibility in terms of what the other group members can bring. For the rare scenario where enemies are too fast or plentiful to Imbue your pistol repeatedly, Brand can be extremely powerful when fully buffed. In this video I showcase my Paladin Build featuring the unique sword called Brand. How mana do you need? One of the ability choices tends to be an offensive cooldown (OCD). Its the same situation if Vital Shot needs to be applied. This used to be more prevalent back before 3.0 when you had to actually spec into pushback protection, but now every class gets a reduction on it as part of some passive. Without this proc, Trickshot has a longer cooldown and would not be usable in the way that youre supposed to use it. This is your knockback. It would still be imperfect though since the worst of these DCDs still grant 35% defense chance while the others grant 50%. Thanks to the Stay Low passive that makes it so you get Hunker Down for 3 seconds after using Hightail It, you always get the Heads Up speed boost after using your roll as well. This is not a personal defensive cooldown. If you have super fast APM, you can activate one of them immediately after the cast finishes on Aimed Shot during the travel time of the blaster bolt and it will still apply the damage boost. It's not shown here but if you want to continue role-playing as the Night King, the final skill of the Shaman tree lets you raise the dead. The Relic of Serendipitous Assault is generically good, but the Relic of Devastating Vengeance is better specifically for the Burst and Versatility Build. Its pretty easy to tell what is and isnt fluff, dont be greedy and dont hurt your groups chances of beating the boss.

In actual raids, youll probably need to apply it more often. Great if your enemy somehow survives your barrage of bullets, or if you just need to save on mana. Enemies will move at a snail's pace when hit, giving you plenty of time to load a Shatter Bullet and likely knock them down a second time. Penetrating Rounds does not have any additional procs or discipline passives associated with it that are relevant to your rotation that I havent already mentioned. Remember to take Efficient Ammo if you plan to do AoE. A wide variety of Gunslinger Builds for PvE and PvP.

Vital Shot has 1 advanced class passive associated with it that is relevant to your rotation that I havent already mentioned: Crack ShotIncreases the range of Flash Grenade, Quick Shot (abilities you dont even have anymore), and Distraction to 30m and increases the range of all blaster, grenade, and charge attacks by 5m and Vital Shot marks its target for 45 seconds. The true advantage of this build is its Energy efficiency, which enables you to not have to worry about using Cool Head at all as well as be able to spam Sweeping Gunfire to your hearts content, making it a great option for fights with a light amount of AoE. Its about as strong as Saber Ward, Deflection, and Explosive Fuel + Oil Slick, which are the strongest DCDs tanks have against adds, though it doesnt last quite as long. You will slightly delay Aimed Shot and Penetrating Rounds if you do this, but youd only miss out on a single use of each of those abilities if you were using Bombing Run on cooldown in a fight that lasts over 15 minutes. This build doesnt eliminate the gap in your rotation and still offers a good sustained DPS increase. (Ranged/Energy/Direct/Single-Target/Casted)This is the weakest of your rotational abilities, though since youll be using it more than twice as often as your true heavy hitters, it still accounts for a considerable amount of your total damage output. Its cooldown wont begin recharging until the cooldown on the first activation completes. One of the abilities is almost always one of your primary CCs, either the 8s mez or 4s hard stun, though Gunslinger has their hard stun locked away in a different choice instead. It still significantly reduces the effectiveness of their DCD, but not all the way. I did not observe a significant DPS difference from this approach. If you dont want to bother with extra relics, just always use the Relic of Serendipitous Assault. Much like Burst Volley, the gap will not appear when Bombing Run is used.

This is the only ability you should ever use when entering cover.

You can either use Burst Volley on cooldown whenever you have enough time to do a full Penetrating Rounds grouping, which generally means you wont get the full benefit of the cooldown reduction, though you may get an additional use out of Burst Volley over the course of the fight; or you can save Burst Volley until right after you finish the Penetrating Rounds grouping to use that grouping twice in a row. Part of knowing a fight is understanding how much damage you take and what you can do to mitigate that damage. The options have several similarities across the Combat Styles: This means almost all disciplines had 5 abilities locked away behind choices with the option for players to keep up to 3 of them. Battle rezzes in general are now healer-only, but there is no longer a global 5 min lockout on those abilities, so its treated just like any other ability, albeit with a much longer cooldown.
