The Gunslinger is a very, very powerful class in Raids because of their high mobility and high crit 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. Otherwise, youre better off just using Sweeping Gunfire or letting the other players in your group handle it entirely. Stay behind the boss and cause havoc. Mittens of Death is a Character Build in Outward, created by AquaBBQ. You will probably still see Aimed Shot get delayed slightly and this is fine. There are two main builds stat wise - dex/agi and dex/vit/int. It will need to grant either Accuracy (Initiative, yellow icon) or Alacrity (Quick Savant / Nimble, green icon), depending on your mix of augments. This allows it to be slotted into any group composition without causing problems. Charged Burst will typically be used twice in a row or when the gap in your rotation comes, youll use it once. This means you can cause your very first Trickshot to tick Vital Shot with the Agitating Energies tactical. 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. Stringing together attacks with the relatively low AP cost of pistol shots is the best way to deal maximum damage. Aside from damage #s its completely irrelevant what pistol im using with it. The Cannon Pistol's single available enchant pairs perfectly with our build, providing a small frost and mana boost. This needs to happen or you will deal less DPS than if you just casted one Charged Burst. Despite all this, thanks to their group utility, there are still situations where Sharpshooter can be worth bringing to a raid. 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. If I missed anything or got something wrong, don't hesitate to tell me.-----The armor can be acquired from finishing the Berg faction story quest line. I would also like to point out that without the Agitating Energies tactical and prior to 6.0, the purpose of the gap in your rotation was partly so that you could apply this ability every 18 seconds without delaying anything else. This page serves as a resource for players to share builds with other members of the community. This will be fixed the next time you use Burst Volley though. 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). 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. Diversion works wonders against adds. This build offers slightly a few hundred less sustained DPS compared to the High Energy Efficiency build, but its a lot more flexible. Bombing Run is used as your first pre-cast ability because it has a 3 second delay before it actually deals its first tick of damage, enabling you to precast another ability before pulling. For Sharpshooter, the unique effect is that it has 2 charges. The earlier you activate it, the earlier youll be able to activate it again. (Ranged/Energy/Direct/Single-Target/Casted)This is one of your hardest-hitting abilities. In addition, it can also be used while moving if youre taking Hot Pursuit. Reset Engagement also causes the final tick of Penetrating Rounds to knock back its target if they are within 10m of you. Most tanks are already familiar with timing the countdown with Bombing Run, but if yours isnt, just tell them to wait to do the countdown until after your Orbital cast has completed. In addition, when you arrive at the gap in your rotation where you only have time to use a single Charged Burst, youll still get one stack of this proc to increase the damage dealt by your next Trickshot, which will typically be the one after using Aimed Shot or Penetrating Rounds, which helps with your burst in some cases. Make a habit of reading through all of your Ability Tree choices each time you log in. Guild leaders, I personally recommend using the Fortune (yellow) guild perk set bonus instead, which grants 5% critical chance and also boosts the critical rate and time efficiency of all Crew Skills by 2%. Make sure you place all of these abilities on your bar in an order that makes sense to you. Stacks up to 3 times. 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. She is a versatile DPS class, unlike her other half (Deadeye) that requires Close Range and Back Attack for optimal damage output. 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 dont want to bother with extra relics, just always use the Relic of Serendipitous Assault. If you try to mix and match, you will find that you either run out of Energy too quickly or otherwise deal less DPS.

When it comes to survivability, most disciplines got defensive nerfs with the launch of 7.0, but Gunslingers got hit particularly hard. Ive had an amazing time over the years and cant wait to see whats in store for the years to come. That said, there is still 1 discipline passive, 1 advanced class proc, and 1 advanced class passive that provide significant benefits to you while in cover: FoxholeIncreases your Energy regeneration rate by 1 per second while in cover. This is why theres always so much emphasis on the AoE RDT buffs and part of why Gunslingers should generally have very low DTPS. 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. Whenever theres downtime, make sure to check if its still applied and if it isnt, make sure you reapply it before your next Trickshot. 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. In all builds, youll need to use it sub-30% after youve used Quickdraw a few times. The only time that timing is irrelevant is when you already have a charge on cooldown. For any Combat Style in any fight, your most effective DCDs should be mapped to the most damaging attacks in the fight while weaker DCDs should be used against weaker attacks. Thanks to the excessive cooldown reduction from Relentless Shots, this option should still perform well in burst situations since you should be able to activate Aimed Shot twice in any single check, but this build is limited by the reduced availability of Smugglers Luck, so it wont perform quite as well with more frequent checks like the Ignition Catalysts in the Scyva fight or the Walker during EC Kephess. 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. Activating Smugglers Luck twice in a row will just refresh the duration of the buff. Please have the game open while reading through the next few sections. Best Sharpshooter Gunslinger Builds in 7.0. Gunslingers are renowned for their extremely high ASPD and HIT using Guns. Smugglers Luck is used before everything else because the buff lasts for 20 seconds and only affects the very next use of Aimed Shot, so the earlier to activate Smugglers Luck, the earlier it will become available again, just be sure to not pop it so early that it falls off before you get to actually use Aimed Shot. Yet they also have the ability to become Rambo, if you want a siege type gunslinger you should probably do dexterity and vitality . you can put 1 point into it since you get a lot of bonuses from the questline and some passives but having let's say 100 Mana will make the build a lot stronger and deadly - you can use more spells . Using both Quickdraw and its Trickshot will cause you to delay Penetrating Rounds and Aimed Shot, though since those abilities have such long cooldowns, it takes a little while for you to delay them long enough for it to result in you missing out on an extra use of each of them and you arent actually losing DPS until this happens. As a movement ability, Hightail It does help you cover a fair bit of distance, but it does cost a GCD to use, so it is best used when youre out of range of the boss so you couldnt deal damage anyway or after your other movement abilities have been used. As a defensive cooldown, its your cheese ability. The typical rotation will look like this: Sometimes you have Burst Volley available, so the first cycle will look like this: Gap Priority(not applicable with Relentless Shots). 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 is the rotation you use at the very beginning of the fight and for burst DPS checks. You can use a non-rotational ability as soon as you finish channeling Penetrating Rounds even before using that accompanying Trickshot since you have a 5s window to use Trickshot. Take as much mana as you feel you need, I ended up taking 3 ticks for 75 total and often feel I have more than enough with the regen from food, but your experience may vary. 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. These builds result in the highest DPS because the individual options synergize with each other to amplify the individual effects. Stacks up to 2 times. The spec is designed such that you use the other two groupings of abilities once each before the third becomes available again. (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. This build doesnt eliminate the gap in your rotation and still offers a good sustained DPS increase. I have yet to encounter a situation in PvE where this is a good thing, so you either need to be mindful of when that can happen and prevent it. 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). 1 choice where youre picking 1 of 3 abilities. 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. Personally, I wait to activate Burst Volley until after Ive used Trickshot. Hunker Down also provides CC immunity. Healers are also a lot more focused on the raid frame than you will be as a DPS, so they are far better equipped to know when it will be useful for the raid than you will. Stay DownDealing damage with Aimed Shot to a target with less than 30% health grants Stay Down, increasing the damage of your next Quickdraw by 20%. Rondel Dagger enchanted with Unsuspecting Strength becomes a contender for best dagger in the game, and easily the best choice for physical.

This ability technically does not do any AoE damage, but it will only ever be used in AoE situations so I am going to talk about it here. It doesnt really matter when you use your second charge of Smugglers Luck so long as its after your first Aimed Shot and before the next. 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. When you create a new Charged Burstr or Gunslinger, the ability that gets placed on your bar is called Take Cover. This build is designed to do AoE damage and will not be viable for sustained DPS checks. (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. This proc further reinforces that Charged Burst is supposed to be used twice per Trickshot. You should be able to spam Sweeping Gunfire to your hearts content and deal extra splash damage with Aimed Shot. We will all do what is possible to maximize the damage of any weapon that you use. 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. Its important to get as much damage as possible while all of your damage boosts are available to maximize their impact. Stealth detection capabilities generally dont work correctly in PvE, so dont rely on the fact that your stealth detection is higher to conclude that there arent any enemies in stealth. Great if your enemy somehow survives your barrage of bullets, or if you just need to save on mana. Check out the SWTOR Damage Types and Damage Mitigation guide. If your favorite trick is "use gun on man", the Gunslinger is for you. Three types of damage, monstrous Impact, healing, AoE and debuff without having to manually reload your pistol.

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. The reason for this is that you dont have to change the way you gear in order to benefit from the effect. This benefit comes up occasionally in PvE, usually during DPS checks, though it isnt nearly as useful as it is in PvP. It deals nearly identical damage to Flurry of Bolts, has a 35m range, and the actual root lasts for a fair bit of time, so I could see it getting some use in the same sort of situation that you might use a slow or a stun on a Melee add. 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. Unless theres very significant downtime, this will only need to be built up at the start of the fight and then youll have it. In PvE, this will generally only be used for specific mechanics since most things youd care about stunning are immune. If healers call out for players to use their Medpacs or if you find yourself having to use yours and see that the rest of the group could also probably benefit from their Medpac. I prefer Agitating Energies, but you could use Refraction Point or even B-0 Differential Targeting System (PvP tactical) if you prefer. 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. I will not be writing out ability descriptions and I will only be transcribing the components of discipline passives that directly relate to the ability and rotation. Each use of Cool Head will allow you to use Charged Burst during 3-4 gaps instead of Flurry of Bolts, though you dont have to think about it like that, just use Cool Head when you get down to 45-50% Energy and only use Charged Burst for your gap GCD if youre above about 80% Energy. 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. It isnt the end of the world though if you cant take the utility since Heads Up is still pretty strong. Your contribution helps us provide content you enjoy.

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.

Sharpshooter permanently lost access to 3 abilities: Some abilities and effects have been renamed since different Origin Stories now have access to the Combat Style. The vast majority of damage that bosses deal in raids is considered AoE damage. 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.

Death . Please note that the cooldown of Aimed Shot is the same as the duration of the proc and since Quickdraw has a fairly long travel time, it is possible for the proc to fall off before the damage goes out, especially if youre standing further away from the boss. When Burst Volley is available, you will not see a gap in that cycle since youll be using Burst Volley before you would observe it. Dont bother using this ability if the enemies will die before Bombing Run really does anything.

Lucky Thoughts and Lucky Draw are often redundant since youll be resetting the cooldown of Aimed Shot and Smugglers Luck with each Aimed Shot kill, so I think going for Energy Barrels + Ballistic Redistribution makes more sense since that pair will actually increase your damage output. Its important to practice your rotation on a dummy at least until you can execute it without having to constantly look at your bar. Here are the groupings: Using the Aimed Shot and Penetrating Rounds groupings on cooldown always take priority, and then you use the Charged Burst x2 grouping, and then youll have about a 1 GCD gap before Aimed Shot comes off cooldown. When Below the Belt is used, you get a proc that enables Quickdraw to be used against any target regardless of remaining health and makes that use of Quickdraw deal 15% more damage. If the damage is force/tech, youre okay to activate your other DCDs and since its RDT, not DR thats being provided, the 75% feels like it isnt doing as much. 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.

If youre able to take Perfect Scheme, you get a nice bit of extra DR for 15 seconds that should help when you find yourself needing to activate Bag of Tricks. Thanks to their non-stop Aimed Shot autocrits, youll truly feel like a Gunslinger as you pick off every single enemy from afar with a single shot. It is highly unlikely that a fight will last long enough where this delay will be enough to where it will result in missing out on a use of the Adrenal. Even if you mess up, keep doing the rotation! I did not observe a significant DPS difference from this approach. Deconstruct all those useless Iron Swords and Machetes that drop from the legions of bandits and you'll be swimming in them. 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? The Gunslinger runs on Dexterity, but you need some Wisdom for Grit Points. 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. Some examples (you do not need to use any of this, just to help you get started): To get the most out of this build . 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. The best time to use Hideout is when you know of a specific location that you are certain you will want to return to at some point later in the fight that will be generally safe to return to. This passive is a bit buggy. 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). This means your average AoE RDT is only 20% compared to most other disciplines which have 100% uptime on 30% AoE RDT. One final thing to note, you do not need bullets for this setup. On its own, Surrender is your threat drop, but it can get buffed by 2 separate options in the ability tree. The Build Essentials are what I consider to be the core components that make the build viable. Without the Lay Low ability tree buff, Hunker Down has 30% uptime if its activated on cooldown. 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. With a bit of optimization the Gunslinger is easy to play and produces a reliable stream of damage against nearly any enemy. Please note that properly timing subsequent Smugglers Lucks can result in a slightly shorter cooldown duration. (Ranged/Energy/Direct/Single-Target/Instant)The existence of Trickshot is what makes Sharpshooter so different from all the other specs in the game. In actual raids, youll probably need to apply it more often. BioWare has removed set bonuses from the game and replaced them with Legendary Items, which are just implants with old 4 or 6-piece set bonus effects on them, so rather than needing to collect 4 pieces of a gear set to get the 4-piece set bonus, or 6 pieces for the 6-piece, youll get either a 4 or 6-piece set bonus effect on an implant. Advanced EvisceratingCrystals are still the best because +41 stat is a more significant upgrade for critical rating since your overall stat pool for tertiary stats is much smaller than it is for the alternative stat increases from crystals, which increase primary and secondary stats including mastery, endurance, and power. Be sure to read my Practical Guide to Firearms for general guidance on selecting and using firearms. That's all there is to it. 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.
