ZGOZZ Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Dear Dev Team. I understand Assault Spec is great. But I just like Gunnery, and IMO this tree lacks DPS out put, that Assault spec does, by I think 500 plus. If you look at the parse Assault is at 3700, while Gunnery is at 3200. Can you please help use gunnery guys out.. Thanks Z'inn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyronamics Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) I'll tell you then. Cleared every fight in NiM DF 16m as a Gunnery Commando. DPS is overrated, knowing mechanics and having decent defences is superior. Assault does well in simple 1 target fights that matter the least. It's the one that needs help and none of it is about dps. Edited June 3, 2014 by Gyronamics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goeblu Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 ^ Gunnery is built for bursting targets down, where as assault is built for one target fights. Sure I wish gunnery was better with sustained, but meh its still a very good spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZGOZZ Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Please do not get me wrong, Gunnery is great. but could be better.But it does not do the damage that it should. Just would like to see the Dev team response on some of the issues with it. And hopefully they can address it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBCentaurion Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) lol probably one of the best DPS I've had the pleasure of raiding with runs arsenal (gunnery). Arsenal (gunnery) was too RNG based before the previous patch, but now they can put out damage like no other class. Pyro (Assault) does great on the dummy and for single target bosses where there is no (minimal) target switching, while Arsenal (Gunnery) blows it out of the water when there is target switching involved. Keep in mind that you need to keep up 2 (?) dots in Pyro (Assault) in order to do decent damage and your DPS will plummet if you switch targets (waiting for CDs on the dots and reapplying them). With Arsenal (Gunnery) you basically go Tracer Missile (Grav Round) and continue where you left off. For DF NiM she goes:- Nefra: Pyro / Assault (single target)- Draxus: Arsenal / Gunnery (target switching)- Grob'thok: Pyro / Assault (single target)- CZ: Arsenal / Gunnery (target switching)- Brontes: Arsenal / Gunnery (target switching) Edited June 4, 2014 by HBCentaurion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and Pyro shield on the final phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
