LeeTone Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 So I finally made the leap of faith after reading some of the threads here and dropped Vigilence for Focus (doing purely pve content). I'm finding that I'm parsing pretty much the same as I was I using vig on single targets and bosses but fights with multiple targets and dailies are finishing much quicker. Just thought I share my parses, not the best in the world but I think it's definitely proof that Focus pve is viable. http://www.torparse.com/a/112031 Link to armory (mostly 61 gear with 63 hilt and offhand): http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/c6476b52-f6b9-4601-8e1b-7d3e64151f26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeTone Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 I'm not getting 1900... 10 min parse was little over 1800 and 4 min parse was 1880. I think full 63 might be able to pass 1900, maybe push 2000 so that should put focus just behind vig for single target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MouldyCrow Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Seems very high. I am doing about 1840 in full 63 on the dummy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MantorokTwelve Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The focus rotation is much more forgiving than vigilance, though you miss out on some great survivability. Make sure you take momentum, it turns blade storm into a nice filler ability. This is what I use, though you can move some stuff around if you need to. If you have all the accuracy you need in your gear you can move the point out from there. I find agility training can help out with tanks kiting PVE bosses while you use zealous leap, it's more useful than a cost reduction on focused defenses (which is a terrible ability), a cost reduction to force exhaustion (which doesn't break the bank), or second wind for a heal on your stun break. If I were to change anything about that spec, I'd take a point out of accuracy and agility training for second wind, or 2 points in agility training.

Viper_e Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 What would you use as the rotation if ya went to focus tanking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadecounty Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 What would you use as the rotation if ya went to focus tanking ? Don't tank in Focus. Unless its just screwing around and you're overgeared doing flashpoint dailies, then it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeTone Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Switched out all my mods for 63 power mods and bumped up to 1860 over 5 minutes now. Also using energy proc relic instead of elemental because of ArPen in focus tree. Slash is also an important part of the rotation but Noxxix leaves that out. http://www.torparse.com/a/120789 Edited February 3, 2013 by LeeTone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marak Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Went snooping through your logs to see if you had any vig parses uploaded and saw you did. You consistently pull 1800+ with focus and between 2 vig parses went from 1500 to 1750. Sounds like typical vigilance woes to me. I really wish they would fix that damn spec. I hate focus. Solid parses though man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBalla Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 One of the DPS in my guilds group is able to dummy 1920+ I think is what I recall him saying last night, I might be able to get access to a log. He's basically full 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid parses though man. To be fair, in the first Vig parse I forgot to switch back to Shien which explains the 1500 and in both parses, I'm still equipted with Focus optimized gear (high surge/low crit). I feel that Vig is still be slightly above Focus on single target but it's at the mercy of RNG (Zen Strike) whereas Focus is much more consistent. On the bright side for Vig users, according to data-mined info for 1.7, Focus is getting a big nerf (in the way of sweep/smash super crit damage reduction) and Vig getting buffs such as Dispatch at above 30% target health. Looking forward to seeing how the buffed Vig turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarurelm Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Maybe the data mined info is for the RotHC? But dispatch above 30% would be gnarly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieKirby Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Seems very high. I am doing about 1840 in full 63 on the dummy... I remember when playing wow, my sister was trying to do feral druid cat form dps and she was following my rotation exactly and couldn't come close to my dps numbers, we had the same gear and everything, maybe its one of those type of things?
