tharbison Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Do assault spec Vanguards hold their own in PVE? I mostly do heorics & flashpoints, no pvp, and don't really play end game.. I'm not looking to be a dps monster, but at the same time, I don't want to gimp my team. Should I even bother?

Kaos_KidSWTOR Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Assault VG can deal ALOT of damage, like upwards of 4.5k DPS if i remember correctly though, most other DPS classes can deal 4.3k - 4.5k DPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorcs, Mercs, operatives, and marauders are also doing 4.2 with similar gear, while shadows/sins are at 4.2~4.3 (the 4.3 is 95% dread master) Edited June 21, 2014 by xxSHOONYxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tharbison Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Thanks for all the replies. I had a blast with the assault specialst VG spec. Very fun. So many tools. Love it. Now...I just hit 50 and have a pile of planetary comms. I got the purple lvl 50 Aim armor mods, but am not sure which enhancements to roll with. What's the priority for this spec? Accuracy? Crit? Surge? Power? I mostly play pve/FP's/heorics. No pvp. I don't usually play end game, but, I'm having so much fun with this class I may dip my toe in...

TAC has a great guide which covers gearing, but in general: 100%ranged/110% tech accuracy For level 50 gear I would say probably ~100-150 crit rating (I forget what the stat budgets were for rakata gear) The rest in power and surge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your aren't doing operations, get 95% accuracy, rest of the enhancements as surge, and prioritize power. If you do end up doing operations: Accuracy vs Surge vs Alacrity Accuracy to 100% Surge remaining tertiary budget (surge only competes with accuracy) Power vs Crit Power to 1200 Then after that, get about 9 crit for every 10 power after that AUGMENTS You'll have to augment eventually, so get Aim ones. If you ever get into dread masters gear, one of them can be an accuracy augment so you can have more surge and be over 100% accuracy RELICS Similarly you'll have to get relics eventually. I'd actually recommend doing the PvP weekly once or twice so you can pick up some PvP relics as they are really good. If you can get PvP or Dread Forged+ level relics, go with the Focused Retribution and the Serendipitous Assault If you are going with any other relics, go with the Boundless Ages relic, and: If you can get a Serendipitous Assault, use that If you can not, get a damage proc relic that does internal damage (i'd have preferred elemental, but the elemental one is force, not tech, and the damage proc relic can crit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
