I did 347k? with Lethality in a voidstar, but it lacked survivability that i enjoy from marksman. ALSO people gotta realize no one has good mitigation against the internal damage including cull and all the other DOTS. Test it out on a tank to prove my point, your cull will hit for max damage along with all the other effects you have on them.

Just seems like Ambush is hitting for crap damage.

Yeah got 374k yesterday so ya have me beat, although I finally got a 2 set bonus (only centurion) so hopefully I can incorporate orbital strike into the picture a bit more. (2 set Field-tech gear((sniper gear) has a 2-set bonus of 1 extra tick on orbital strike).

so since I.probe is 18 seconds, wouldn't it be better than weakening blast?

You are absolutely correct...Marksman has the best burst and survivability in pvp. Im gonna head back to marksman so I can be a tank while entrenched/shield barrier.

Thing is about lethality, is I have found it to have the most sustained dps of all specs. Every time your poison ticks crit, you regain 2 energy. Corrosive bomb on a group of people, and you have really good energy regen. Put 2 points in lethal purpose for this, it also lowers the CD of adrenaline probe by 30sec.

No reason being is in lethality, the majority (id say about 90% of the damage done) of damage dealt is internal, and the armor reduction from shatter shot does not effect internal damage resistance. EDIT: However during raids I would include it, and still use it on tanks in pvp.

skill order. weakening blast, corrosive dart, corrosive bomb, cull rinse and repeat... This is a mobile spec, you don't need cover. (Hence why me doing it for raids since they are not cover friendly)

Ok, so just did Lethality spec in PVP. 347k 3rd game in. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#400bZbIZGbbkrrhdhR.1 NOTE: I did not get any of the pvp goodies in this spec due to me testing it out for our raids. For straight pvp id suggest getting countermeasures or vanish...or both.

35.09..mainly gearing for crit/surge or crit/accuracy or power... I would avoid alacrity. IMO this is just sacrificing more energy faster, for less damage. And when we are low on energy, we regen it slower.

A link of my spec is here. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#400rsrbdRsRxzZbcZh.1 There is some things on it I am thinking of changing..And am currently running around using Lethality spec in PVP due to the internal damage that no one in the game (even tanks) have good mitigation to. Something to think about.

This is a good point. Some games you just need to know where to set up, IE. places in hutball, voidstar, and civil war. One thing i noticed was when I was moving from spot to spot, its always good to just melee attack someone untill you see someone you know you can kill fast. Also setting up in places where it may be hard to be noticed is key as well. There are many such spots in voidstar and huttball. When you have to take damage, i always save entrench/ballistic shield for when I need to take on 3+ people at once, and yes you can do it. Melee are the easiest, they close in, you use ambush. They close in again, you use cover pulse/leg shot, they close in again and they are already dead.

Naw, im level 50, but its all about lining up combos, and utilizing series of shots/ambush/followthrough. Rinse and repeat that and you are set. I only had 1 peice of pvp gear when I did that, but have had a few games prior to that above 300k.

I am just managing tactical situations better, I will save my Target aquired, and relic CD's in conjunction with sniper volley to drop someone REALLY fast(Usually in this situation its always the Assasains/Shadows, or Healer classes in the game)

No I use sniper volley, and no points in legshot. Most of the time I kill people so fast there is no need to cc them.

Found the sweetspot with pvp damage as a sniper, marksman spec.

350k damage during a void star earlier, marksman spec

This ^^ This is the mindset that people need to have.

I have beta tested for 6+ months, and no I am not 'dissapointed.' I am a huge star wars fan, I love Bioware's work, and I know if the game is given a chance it is worth it. Something like this takes a lot of resources to make. To expect perfection is something anyone should not expect. Overall, the release of this game and the content is not nearly as buggy as other games I have Beta Tested and have played on release. This game revolves around the "RPG" part in mmo. And I really believe that a lot of new, interesting, and innovative things can come from it(use your imagination!) Except a few minor bugs, and certain things that are not perfect for you (but acceptable by me) the game is really good. But this always happens, when an mmo releases, you get the people that compare everything to wow, or cry about how the game is missing things that other mmo's have. Go play Everquest, or go find an original wow server to see how things used to be. And the funny thing is, those were still good games even when they released.

Ok, lets analyze a game not even complete! (in regards to beta)

I love ******* that post a thread about how bad things are when people like me are having a blast destroying people in pvp, and enjoying the story. Lets all give a critical analysis of something that has been out for less than a week! I bet the original poster didn't even get 50. gg
