allhailmonster Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hello all and thanks for your answers in advance. I rolled a gunslinger in the sharpshooter spec just prior to 3.0 to mainly use as a casual pvp toon. I'm still a lowbie, only level 24, so the spec obviously hasn't truly bloomed yet, but I've really enjoyed learning the class in the low-pressure environment of lowbie warzones. I love the bursty supporting dps role, I can pretty much 1v1 any class, and I almost without exception find myself as one of the top 3 or 4 damage dealers. The only thing is, I've never had this trouble with resource management in a class. Often after burning through a tough target or two I find myself almost completely out of energy, with nothing to use but my auto attack and cool head on cooldown. Like I said, I'm still only level 24, and I noticed some abilities further down the discipline that seem to reduce energy costs, but I'm wondering if my troubles are a result of a low point in the spec or if I'm just bad. So, to you more experienced gunslingers and snipers, specifically pvp-focused ones, how do you manage energy effectively? And does it get better later in the discipline? Is resource management a common issue for the class or am i just terrible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets better later on. lvl 32 - Energy regen while in cover increases from 5 to 6 48 - Trickshot lowers energy cost of next two Charged Burst by 5 57 - Sniper Volley gives you +2 energy regen for 15 seconds You can still run out of energy if you're not careful, but you'll find it way easier to manage energy at high levels.
