Looking for any decent information on level 50 pve dps commando builds

I know there has to be info out there, but doing any search only links me to the 'BUY OUR GUIDE NOW PLZ!' sites or information from the open beta...

 

I'm currently focused on pve as a gunnery spec and was looking to see if there were any thoughts on what I have currently or any suggestions to improvements?

 

Current Build

 

Also wondering about gunnery vs assault specialist for pve.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated. If there are discussions already about this (which my search didn't find), please let me know.

 

Thanks!

I would like to ask for a right rotation for gunnery, please. I just seem to be having ammo issues in raids at the moment...

 

 

First off, get your PVE 4 piece bonus as quickly as possible. Do dailies, run HMs, whatever it takes. Both the 2 and 4 piece contribute to ammo stability.

 

I won't claim to be perfect, but here is how I approach boss fights:

 

Start off with Full Auto. It does good damage, and by the time the 3 second channel is done, you will have fully recharged the ammo used to activate it. Also, if you spec properly, grav rounds will reset the CD on Full Auto, and make the next Full Auto do 25% more damage.

 

Follow with Grav x3. If you have your PVE 2 piece, you should have a crit rate of around 50% on Grav in raids (assuming smuggler buff.) You should get a cell charger proc or two as you cast these. Use Full Auto whenever curtain of fire procs. ** IF you have your PVE 4 piece, use HIB whenever possible. It is free, and should be used whenever it is off CD.

 

Follow the third Grav with Demo round.

 

Grav x2, followed by HIB. If you have your 4 piece, HIB may be on CD. After this point, look at your ammo:

 

If you've gotten good crit luck, and cell charger has kept your ammo high, continue with the Grav rotation, using FA, HIB and Demo every time they are up.

 

If you're ammo has gotten low, use Reserve Powercell to cast Mortar. The free 3 second cast will allow you to regen a couple ticks of ammo. In situations where you cannot Mortar, use Reserve Powercell to cast Full Auto.

 

Feel free to hit Hammer Shots a few times to go from >>> to >>>> on your charge meter.

 

For burn phases, I like to activate relics, use everything I have (Grav, HIB, Grav, Demo, Grav, FA) and activate recharge cells afterward to get me back into the fast recharge range.

 

Remember: A few Hammer Shots early on are more effective than spamming hammer after depleting your ammo. Always try to stay in the fastest two recharge states.
