Hey,

I would love some serious help. I don't know if its my talents or gear, but I seem to always get pwnd by elites.. for instance i cant kill master berin fraal now :-/, get him down to like 20% but once my companion is dead I'm dead soon too..

 

I go for cunning gear.. and I think im adequately geared at least, but I dunno.. maybe its my talents? Appreciate all help :-/, losing the lust to play this game tbh

What lvl are you and can you post your spec? Also, is this Berin Fraal a ranged or melee elite? If it's ranged, just interrupt his casts and use Diversion, Corrosive Dart and Shatter Shot at the same as running up to him to use Debilitate. Start nuking again and interrupt his next cast with a Cover Pulse. Make sure to maintain a healthy energy level so you dont starve yourself.

If he's a melee elite do pretty much the same, but use Leg Shot if your companion dies and he goes for you, so that you can gain some distance.

I'm currently level 37, and my talent tree is a little all over the place, I would not mind respeccing at all, here it is:

I would try something more like this

sniper volley is not good imo as more haste just makes you use your energy bar quicker

I also run with 3/3 lethality for the crit in pvp but you could swap those points and fill energy tanks and top out recoil control. Sector ranger is cool for the snare after the knock back too

 

cover screen is a bit meh as you would want to be in cover most of the time so 20% def out of cover is a bit of a waste of 2 pt's, plus that lets you put a point to reduce the CD on leg shot (learn to love leg shot :))

I see this mentioned a lot by agents/snipers, and it's not accurate. Haste only makes your energy bar deplete faster if all you do is spam energy consuming skills.

 

I'd sooner have an instant snipe followed up by a free use of rifle shot. Same energy cost, same total cast time (if not shorter), and more damage.

Use your cc and def skills in the fight and pop consummables before fight.

 

start with ambush, probe, snipe, followthrough.

 

then first cc. I use diversion usually first.

 

then more damage

 

another cc/def. use flash bang before ambush so it gives you damage free cast time.

 

and so on.

 

Also use doctor Lokin as a companion.

Agreed.

Sniper volley is a decent passive, it's main issue is that it won't stay up after reaching stack of 3 (not sure if this is bug or working as intended), if you could keep it stacked, it would be a bloody awesome passive.

This. If it didn't reset after hitting 3 stacks it would be worth trying to keep up. But having to weave in a snipe every 3-4 attacks to stack up to a 6 second buff is just not worth it most of the time.
