oaceen Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 analysis: gunnery is fine. gunslingers are still better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyronamics Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Chances of being kicked or left behind because you're a gunnery commando are almost nil. Leaving sentinels and slingers alone for the moment the alternatives are: Guardians <- cant think of any major downsides aside from melee vs ranged issues Vanguards <- melee with no gap closer and no armour debuff Sages <- has no armour debuff, takes significantly more damage Scoundrels <- melee with iffy gap closer and no armour debuff plus positioning requirement Shadows <- melee with iffy gap closer and no armour debuff plus positioning requirement Gunnery commando is a preferred dps class for raids. Chances of being kicked or left behind because of the player not the class are vastly higher. Edited August 27, 2013 by Gyronamics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMightyKnight Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Chances of being kicked or left behind because you're a gunnery commando are almost nil. There are nil unless your progress raid has 2 Slingers, 2 Sentinels and 2 Commandos for DPS, all roughly the same skill level... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOULCASTER Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Gunnery Commando is currently the best DPS spec for Commando. Assault can be made viable in PVE, and though it isn't as ideal to play for PVP, it still is possible. Gunnery is good for both PVE and PVP. The key to playing Gunnery commando is: positioning. You have to watch where you are attacking from all the time. You can't be in the middle of the fray, and you usually don't want to be on the ground floor. You'll want to use your knock back to your advantage, whenever possible. So stay up high or near obstacles you can knock enemies off into, and you'll be doing great. Aside from that, it has rotations of attacks you'll have to learn, but that isn't hard. Gunnery commando makes a great ranged DPS class, as well as an excellent off-healer for group mates in a pinch. Just be sure to sit in the back and rain the dps down on the enemies. Don't be face-tanking people or playing commando like your a vanguard or you're going to get molested.

JKnightJ Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have observed that Gunnery Commandos seem to be very much at the mercy of the gods of RNG. I've noticed about a 200-250 dps difference based 2-3% better crit rates on parses. So now I guestimate based on averages of parses. Notwithstanding all that malarkey, their overall utility makes this a fun class to raid, providing relatively consistent damage output. Having a couple of decent Gunnery commandos in a 16-man HM/NiM is desirable in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmholtzz Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Have been doing progression raid on my gunnery commando for a while. Utilities make the class very valuable. Now I switched to a gunslinger because our healers are very very good and the use I get out of the kolto bomb is very limited. So I switched to my slinger where I can do higher damage and have some unique utilities. But still if we face a fight where we are having trouble with raid wide damage I switch to my commando for the kolto bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
