RohtoEyegasm Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I've been trying out different classes left and right since i started and ive decided i like the play style of a smuggler but i cant decide which adv class to roll. I like to pvp a lot in all mmos i play so i was wondering which spec between those 2 is better especially with the new 1.2 patch. I dont want to pick the wrong adv class and have to re roll again since i find the first planet very boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gunslinger / Imp Sniper plays a lot like a WoW hunter without a pet, and an increased need to remain stationary during fights. I couldn't get it to work for me in PvP. I've seen others who can, but it really requires the use of map locations to find a sniper's nest where you can hit people in choke points (e.g. WZ cap points), and still have it be difficult for them to find and/or get to you.

kuey Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 1v1 Burst? Depends on what you're fighting. Personally I'd say Sharpshooter Gunslinger is the highest burst for Smugglers currently. However their damage is heavily mitigated by armour/defence. If we were to take armour and defence into account then I'd say Scrapper Scoundrel. Saboteur has nice burst, but it's nowhere near the league of Sharpshooters and Scrappers. That being said, I found Saboteur far more fun to play than a Sharpshooter. Not very nice on energy management though, the the new Hot Pursuit might have changed that, I haven't tried it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RohtoEyegasm Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 ive been hearing that scrapper after 1.2 isnt all the good in damage though after 50. Is saboteur still less burst then them after 1.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsinwhat Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Just level both like I did. I have a saboteur gunslinger one server and a scrapper scoundrel on my main server. I really can't speak on burst at 50 but in the 10-49 bracket scrapper has way more burst than my saboteur specced gunslinger.

People like to exaggerate a bit. Our sustained dps doesn't feel as strong now (I say feel as since their was no parsing pre 1.2 we can't tell for certain), but our burst has actually been bumped up a bit thanks to backblast buffs.
