MastaGigs Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Going to guess those 2 extra points are in leg shot? Assuming you did not pick up sniper volley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthElation Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 No I use sniper volley, and no points in legshot. Most of the time I kill people so fast there is no need to cc them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthElation Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 I am just managing tactical situations better, I will save my Target aquired, and relic CD's in conjunction with sniper volley to drop someone REALLY fast(Usually in this situation its always the Assasains/Shadows, or Healer classes in the game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyk Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 How are you playing with the lack of mobility? Are enemies not attacking you much? The lack of cc and mobility seems pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMercenary Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 for ppl that doesn't noticed it by the damage, that is a damage with lvl 50 pvp gear. do NOT think that this build is much better than any other just because it has a good equiped damage. My friend who is a lvl 50 operative, constantly hits 350k damage on pvp, but he's full champion geared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthElation Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Naw, im level 50, but its all about lining up combos, and utilizing series of shots/ambush/followthrough. Rinse and repeat that and you are set. I only had 1 peice of pvp gear when I did that, but have had a few games prior to that above 300k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of cc and mobility seems pretty poor. This is a good point. Some games you just need to know where to set up, IE. places in hutball, voidstar, and civil war. One thing i noticed was when I was moving from spot to spot, its always good to just melee attack someone untill you see someone you know you can kill fast. Also setting up in places where it may be hard to be noticed is key as well. There are many such spots in voidstar and huttball. When you have to take damage, i always save entrench/ballistic shield for when I need to take on 3+ people at once, and yes you can do it. Melee are the easiest, they close in, you use ambush. They close in again, you use cover pulse/leg shot, they close in again and they are already dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthElation Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 A link of my spec is here. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#400rsrbdRsRxzZbcZh.1 There is some things on it I am thinking of changing..And am currently running around using Lethality spec in PVP due to the internal damage that no one in the game (even tanks) have good mitigation to. Something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthElation Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 35.09..mainly gearing for crit/surge or crit/accuracy or power... I would avoid alacrity. IMO this is just sacrificing more energy faster, for less damage. And when we are low on energy, we regen it slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthElation Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Ok, so just did Lethality spec in PVP. 347k 3rd game in. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#400bZbIZGbbkrrhdhR.1 NOTE: I did not get any of the pvp goodies in this spec due to me testing it out for our raids. For straight pvp id suggest getting countermeasures or vanish...or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthElation Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 skill order. weakening blast, corrosive dart, corrosive bomb, cull rinse and repeat... This is a mobile spec, you don't need cover. (Hence why me doing it for raids since they are not cover friendly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilrach Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 No scatter shot in your lethality rotation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthElation Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) No scatter shot in your lethality rotation? No reason being is in lethality, the majority (id say about 90% of the damage done) of damage dealt is internal, and the armor reduction from shatter shot does not effect internal damage resistance. EDIT: However during raids I would include it, and still use it on tanks in pvp. Edited December 30, 2011 by DarthElation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: However during raids I would include it, and still use it on tanks in pvp. Helps with the team's overall damage tho. Your teammates who are attacking the target also enjoy the debuff on him. And since Cull has a long CD, I always use Sniper/Rifle shots on my poisoned targets to wait for the next Cull. So with Cull's weapon dmg, Snipe, Rifle Shots taken into consideration, it takes up quite a bit of direct damage. When I'm not engaging anyone, I always try to pop scatter shot on targets who are too far for me to use my rotation - 45 secs is a long time in pvp and the target is bound to get attacked within that time.

Xontier Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm curious, about how long do you wait in between each attack with your lethality build? Ignoring energy regen, that cycle takes 100 energy which you can pump through a lot quicker than you regen if you're not careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthElation Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Thing is about lethality, is I have found it to have the most sustained dps of all specs. Every time your poison ticks crit, you regain 2 energy. Corrosive bomb on a group of people, and you have really good energy regen. Put 2 points in lethal purpose for this, it also lowers the CD of adrenaline probe by 30sec. Edited December 30, 2011 by DarthElation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xontier Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Ah, I missed the extra regen from ticks. I guess my other question is, looking at the lethality build to me it seems like it would only be useful in PvP and PvE raiding, but not PvE soloing/questing and the like simply because it lacks the power to burst down certain targets. Any truth to this or am I missing something? If not, I think I'm going to stick with Marksman until later down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthElation Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 You are absolutely correct...Marksman has the best burst and survivability in pvp. Im gonna head back to marksman so I can be a tank while entrenched/shield barrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
