jitsuo Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hello all. I am a Marauder who has decided to try out the Sniper class. I was wondering what specs are viable and what rotations are used with said spec for PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayestes Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Your question is extremely tedious to answer. 31 pt Marksman, 31 pt Engineering, 31 pt Lethality, Marksman/Eng Hybrid, and Lethality/Eng Hybrid are all viable in the eyes of the Sniper community. The rotations are rather intuitive if you've played them via Solo PvE, although sites like Sithwarrior.com can help you out if you want even more information. Tibbel's spreadsheet in particular on that site can allow you to work on your rotations yourself. Personally I prefer 31 pt Lethality, Lethality/Engi Hybrid, and 31 pt Marksman for PvP, as I think they both have advantages and disadvantages in different situations. Currently I run a 31/3/7 Marksman build for PvP and enjoy it a lot. For rotations, here is an excerpt from a previous PvP thread I wrote in. Really though, a lot of it is intuitive and subjective to the situation. Highest DPS: Relic > Adrenal > Target Acquired > SoS > RF > SoS > SoS > Ambush > FT Delayed Burst: Laze Target > Snipe > EP > Ambush > FT Mobile DPS: Snap Shot Snipe > FT, Leg Shot, Rifle Shots, Takedown, or Corrosive Dart Basic Rotation: SoS > Ambush > FT > Filler > Filler > Snipe > FT > and so on just like PvE Edited March 28, 2012 by Ayestes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly need a baseline, I usually figure the nuances out myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therebellion Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Even though I'm a gunslinger famous spec for us is a 23/16/2. (Use entrench when you get it ) http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#400bsrddRoRZrI0bRoZb.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamienHelzcoming Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 If you usually fill the nuances yourself.... why not make your own skill structure? Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jitsuo Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 If you usually fill the nuances yourself.... why not make your own skill structure? Ha Because I have zero knowledge about the class outside of the PvP skills that I know about. What the strong stats are, what each ability is used for, how certain mechanics work. Spec+rotation gives me a sense of what the spec is supposed to do, so I use that to experiment and see what works well and what doesn't. I am not any good at ALL about giving myself a base to work from, but once I have that base I can build around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
