jasonkendle Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Just what the title says, i want to play a dps trooper but for some reason the big cannon just rubs me the wrong way much prefer the blaster rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorniza Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yes. Completely viable if you spec 4/6/31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogmar Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yes. Completely viable if you spec 4/6/31. This guy implies that it's not viable if you don't spec whatever he does, which is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirokinae Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm currently 5/5 nightmare EV and Karraga's and can tell you that vanguard is certainly viable in ops. I actually kill my add faster 100% of the time in the EV council fight, and the utility i provde as an emergency offtank is invaluable. I've tried most specs, including hybrids, pure assault, and tactics, and find that a hybrid assault is currently what works best for me, although other specs are certainly "viable". If you're an amazing player, generally you can make any class competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ururururu Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I suspect 31 points in assault is only a good return for pvp. Hard to tell without a combat log, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmasterub Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I like 2/21/18 myself. Running HEC unless ammo is manageable with plasma which I find its not quite. Im considering moving the 2 from brutal impact to pulse generator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
va_wanderer Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I suspect 31 points in assault is only a good return for pvp. Hard to tell without a combat log, though. AP is a damage spike ability, true- but for some things, being able to spike is useful. I'm more in the 25-28 point boat for Assault, myself. Some abilities like Burnout just don't make me jump up and down to get, and I PvE so AP isn't as useful as it might be in PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
