Yes! I agree. They have more imps, therefore more stuns! They shoudl allocate the number of stuns for action as a whole

I play an assault vanguard and can sympathize with OP. Gunnery commands while having great DPS are quite easy to take down. They can shine against a noob opponents, but with a decent pug (not even a premade), they are priority targets just below healers (infact I detour to take them out before the healers since they are so easy to take out). The very first run into WZ, if I see my health dropping fast then I know it is either a sniper or TM spammer and make sure to handle them every time I get a chance after rez. The fact that they cant really kite (and cannot interrupt a VG) makes it cake. It seems like BW really wants commando's to be healers primarily in pvp(which they are quite good at) and dps in pve. They really should give utility for the commando DPS to be viable. This is going to get ugly with glut of tankasins/juggs/maras come 1.2

^^ This. I have been playing full assault through out and I have to say that you are very well setup for burst damage (Assault with eliminator set and power adr/battlefocus/relic). That with ST taunt/aoe taunt can do quite a bit of mayhem against the enemies.

While I agree good marauders can take anyone including us, it definitely is not that easy and they have to work for it. If we both start with all cool downs and at range, it can go either way, if they get the jump and we cant kite, then they can usually win, but they will be left with 20% of their health at end (assault spec in BM gear + biochem btw)

/played . I am atm 7 days /played and already at 63 Valor rank. Assault works quite well both for leveling and for PvP. Shield hybrids are fine and is fun using Charge (Tried Parakeet for couple of days, but the burst damage from Assault is needed to take down healers quickly in PvP). IMO vanguards (or trooper in general) are very easy to level. I hardly ever died while leveling as Assault+Elara. I did have biochem for the resusable heals/buffs as well.

I did this in 5 minutes Basically a guild in my server was "selling" this run for 100k credits. They had sages at both the points to pull you up and you just have to go through the barrier/sky bridge thingy (They had me grab a crystal in museum, didn't even know about the other stuff). In fact I read this guide just to see what the hell was going on. All in all very efficient and for someone who does not care about PVE at all, this is awesome! 100k wellspent I say considering I had no use for the credits (Vanguard + Biochem + BM gear = nothing to really spend anything on)

Hiya, Can you post your healing pvp seer keybind setups? I am going to respec my sage to be full healing and am interested in seeing some of the keybinds used by the community. Esp, how do you target friends? Swap the tab and ctrl+tab to select friends on tab instead? Thanks in advance!

assualt + elara = profit. Burns down mobs fast with little downtime. I leveled mine to 50 in 4 days with 50 valor pvp.

Thanks ! That makes sense. So far in sub 50, typically the enemies are not yet in complete control of their toons, so I dont see too many cleanses, but I can see it changing at 50 bracket . I am just surprised that not many are not playing VG in pub side given the awesomeness of this class. I was sick of running around as sage and wanted to play something different stumbled on this and I gotta say that this class is a blast.

With plasma cell and ionized ignition, is there a reason to even use IR? For example, I could go with this rotation <all offensive cooldowns> Assault plastique while closing in ion pulse HIB stockstrike ion pulse <until HIB procs> HIB Assault plastique (by this time the target is toast) FYI: I am only talking about PVP. I am not even trying to any PVE so burst with ammo efficiency is most important . Currently at level 45, it almost feels like god mode in warzones with assault, just the ammo efficiency is the issue and if I can live without IR, I would be set

Thanks for the info. I will go full assault / plasma cell !

Do you guys run with ion or plasma for these rotations?

Thanks! At my current level, I am missing on few of those. currently I do Adrenal, Incendiary, Hib, <close in + pulse canon until I proc a free HIB/SS>, SS The problem is I run out of ammo and I am running around with hammer shot in PvP..

Hi All, Curious on what rotation do you guys use as a full Assault specced Vanguard (or any other spec is good too). I am currently leveling my Vanguard and he is at level 42 and focusing primarly on PvP only. I have a level 50 sage but I find the vanguard way more fun and would want to make this my main and use the sage as a healbot.

yep. I has happened to me to. Even in PvE. None of the instants will fire (so not a interrupt)
