SWTOR GUNSLINGER SHARPSHOOTER 5.0 GUIDE MODS

No Holds Bar – The +6% critical chance on all our attacks makes this talent a must. Assuming Alacrity doesn’t cap or receive diminishing marginal returns, we should be firing abilities pretty damn fast while in cover.

SWTOR GUNSLINGER SHARPSHOOTER 5.0 GUIDE MODS

See the rotation section for more details on how this affects your rotation.īlack Market Mods – Increases Alacrity by +4%, to add up to the +9% we should keep stacked. 9% increase to cast time seems pretty big for your aimed shot and charged burst however more testing is needed. Your stacks will drop off after 6 seconds. After your initial stack you gain stacks by casting charged burst up to a max of 3 stacks. The initial stack can only be created every 30 seconds. * Burst Volley (notes): Your initial stack of BV(for short) has to be created by an aimed shot. On paper a 90s CD makes this talent look really weak. Rapid Fire – Increases your burst on speed shot every 90 seconds (more testing is needed on this). (I took 1 point in this)ĭeadeye – 30% increased crit damage for 3 of your key abilities. Lay Low – (Optional) – CD reduction to your big aoe and hunker down. Trickshot – Key ability, only usable after a charged burst or aimed shot. Recoil Control – Trickshot is a key ability so reducing the cooldown and energy cost is very important. Try to stay in cover as much as possible. See notes below for more details.įoxhole – While in cover you gain 1 energy per second (mandatory). Charged Burst and Aimed shot are casted, 9% reduction to their cast time. Spacer – Not recommended to get this talent.īurst Volley* – Further testing needed. Slick Shooter – Increases the critical damage on three of your key abilities, and thus your DPS. From what i can tell, currently the CD reduction does not stack. Quick Aim – Charged Burst and Speed shot’s critical hits reduce the activation time on Aimed Shot by 1 second. Great for those moments your tank is getting hammered by a clustered group of adds. This talent is mandatory to your rotation/priority list.ĭiversion – Reduces accuracy by 45% for enemies within the cloud for 9s. Snap Shot – It makes your first Charged burst instant cast after your roll into cover on a 6/s CD. Rarely will you use Trip shot, has little use for us in PvE.

Trip Shot – Reduces the 15s CD of our snare by 3s. Since Aimed Shot is our biggest hitting ability, this should improve our DPS significantly, depending on the mechanics behind Armor Penetration. Sharp Aim – Gives +20% Armor Penetration to Aimed Shot. When you lose all stacks consider exiting and re-entering cover. (Optional Talent)īallistic Dampers – Gives you a 30% damage reduction while in cover (3stacks). I recommend this because if you pull aggro on an add this helps you be able to kite them.

Percussive Shot – Puts a knockback on your aimed shot when used 10m or closer.

This should help mitigate some of the effects of being a dual weilder. Sharpshooter – (+3% Accuracy) Being that our offhand pistol has a 57% less chance to hit than our mainhand we will miss a lot. Steady Shots – Improves the damage by +6% of two of your key abilities. Can be taken instead of some of the other optional talents. Increases your ranged dodge by 20% for 6s. The purpose of this guide is to help people with the mechanics of the Sharpshooter and to help optimize our role as DPS in Operations.Ĭover Screen – This defensive skill is activated upon leaving cover.
