Bandel Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I was just wondering how the pve viability is as a dps scoundrel at end game operations. I have gotten my gunslinger to 42 but may have to reroll and was thinking of doing scoundrel. I do not want to heal however. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Saviorofcamelot Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm a healer and not DPS but there are a lot of people screaming to have Scoundrels nerfed. Focus on +Surge and +Crit and you do some nasty 1v1 damage. If you want AoE DPS you are better off being a Sab Gunslinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalgorm Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 your job will be to burst and/or CC the adds to protect the healer. If there aren't any, you can use sabotage charge and some dps abilities that you get at lvl 1 to help against the boss, or help the healer with off-heals. unless you are 100% sure there will be no adds, do your dps/off-healing sparingly; you might suddenly need to switch back to taking out the adds. I play my scoundrel like this, preferably to off-heal but i can help damage when necessary. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niaoru Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) You're great for burn phases or swapping to adds/mind traps because you can vanish/pop CDs and deeps the hell out of them. It seems like I do pretty good damage, and as we aren't reaching enrage timers, I guess it's true. Don't know for sure though, need a fking combat log.

Aramoro Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 You're fine once you and whatever groups you run with realize you're a melee class. You've got pretty good cc abilities and insane burst dps. Learn the stealthmechanics well though. In some hardmodes it seems bosses and goldstar mobs detect stealthers even further than non-stealthers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offbeatpaladin Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Your suvivability is like any other melee dps. Bosses mechanics are in place simply just to screw you over, learn to avoid them and you're fine. Get hit and you'll die. Our damage is high. I require guard to function in a raid.

You have to be way out of LoS for the pull, then waddle slowly up to the boss in stealth. Edited January 17, 2012 by Niaoru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
