swagnificent Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I am currently level 14 gunslinger, but I do not like the idea of being behind cover for optimal output. However I do want to do raids and heroics etc. So what I am asking is are scoundrels viable for raids in terms of damage or are they going to be heal bots for pve?

Loclif Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Scoundrels can easily match Gunslingers in PvE damage. The difference is how close you are to the enemy...we're not tied to Cover the way the Slingers are. I find the Scoundrel much better suited to PvE...good survivablity and very adaptable on the fly. While we can heal, anyone who calls us healbots tends to get a Dirty Kick where it counts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiviolence Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) There is no way to compare which classes are doing "good DPS". There are no numbers to allow anyone to fully come up with results to backup their theories. Maybe in the future when they release Combat Logs and mods.

WasabiJack Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 You will do fine in PVE as scoundrel because PVE damage is restricted by hate. So your dmg effectively will be restricted by how good a tank you have. Gunslingers and other dps classes will not out due your dmg + heals for sure. Add to this the ability heal, tranquilize, blind, stun, slow... you will be a pretty darn useful ally in pve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
