take a look at this powertech/vanguard dps thread on sithwarrior.com http://sithwarrior.com/forums/Thread-Powertech-Vanguard-DPS-Compendium?page=12 caveats: I've skimmed through it, and I've not dl'd the spreadsheet, but it appears to argue that using TD (thermal detonator=assault plastique) is higher dps than a hybrid build very similar in nature to the one recommended here.. just wondered what ur thoughts are on the thread.. does it shed any insight..

thanks for your answers to my questsions, subb'd so keep the feedback coming, muchos gracias

really nicely written can I ask some questions as a) I've not played dps vanguard (shield spec thats probably going to have to go dps for raiding due to guild) b) 1st good vanguard dps post I've hit so far which cell are you using ? (guessing plasma) is it a rotation or a priority order ? what secondary stats should we aim for? does this play well in flashpoints or purely a raiding spec (concerned a lack of any CC will impact playing vanguard dps in a flashpoint, but thats a different matter) thanks
