What spec are you? I'd suggest Leg Shot on the companion and try drawing them away. Use your CCs for the companion because they will eat the full duration. AFTER CC's DoT the companion, as the AI will spend time to heal even the smallest amount of damage. Aside from that, put your companion on their companion to split the damage. Flourish the tank and kite 'em. Also, interrupt is your friend! Add: You have several defensive abilities. Hunker for sure but unless they are 36? A Jugg is limited in getting you out of cover (They have Force Choke and Force Push). Pulse to knock them away, remember Flourish!, Sab Charge, Aimed Shot... if you are able to CC their companion for even a little bit, the damage you deliver SHOULD be enough to kill the Jugg.

This is the mentality that gets plenty of people killed. To the OP, only Scoundrels can knock you on your face. Gunslingers only have moves to knock you back or away. The heavy hitting numbers you saw could've been from a plethora of abilities. Most likely Trickshot, Aimed Shot and Quickdraw.

DF and Sab slow down once you get to the higher level planets. I leveled Sharps all the to 46, tried both Sab and DF at those levels -- Voss ate my face. The AoE and quick Therms are cool and fun but you'll run out of energy just to finish off a kill. Elite and Boss mobs require too much that I found DF and Sab didn't have. Those are MY personal experience. Pick a spec that interests you the most and that you plan on end gaming, level with the spec, and get to know it inside and out. I am so comfortable with SharpS I can't imagine being anything else. At 50 I spec'd DF for 3 or 4 straight nights of PvP and immediately went back to Sharpy. The smuggler is mos def the 'to each their own' type of class.

Please don't feed the trolls.

It wasn't recharging for me regardless. I've proc'd Volley and spammed CB until my energy ran low.

So before I comment on that spec, what does Cover Screen actually do? Does it give you defense against ranged attacks? Or give you defense for your ranged class? I have put my points into Trip Shot for the reduced CD on Leg Shot and I skip Diversion. I hate that talent. The Snipers I fight are half retarded and they ALL use portable cover. I rarely see them Hunker so I prefer to toss my Flash Grenade or walk up and Pulse them out. There aren't ever enough that use their equiv of Diversion so I get to free cast pretty much all the time. This is what I am currently using: http://www.swtor-spy.com/skill-tree-calculator/gunslinger/21/?build=023012222020210121200000000000233002201210000000000000000030000000000000000000000000 And this is what I am respecing to: http://www.swtor-spy.com/skill-tree-calculator/gunslinger/21/?build=023012222020210121200500010000230002000000000000000000000030000000000000000000000000

My message are yellow! (Duh! Stupid /10 char).

I thought that was working as intended. I don't think it would refresh off of Trick Shot anywho, you only gain stacks from CB. However, if it is supposed to refresh it would make the talent worth it. I've completely taken it out of my PvE and PvP builds. /bug that suckah. I will when I get off work.

I think many people came to this class because of the BIG NUMBERS in those youtube vids. Sit there and press Aimed Shot and get a 4K crit? LULZ EYE KEN DO DAT! Upon rolling many, MANY people are finding out those vids were against terrible people and Gunslinger takes more of what other classes don't.

Do.Not.Spam.Charged Burst. You might not be able to help it being a lower level but you can past 20-25ish. Try and use filler shots, every other shot a Flurry. Its free and very decent damage. Don't fear the Cool Head! Use it, use it, use it! If you are spamming CB, not using Cool Head, avoiding Flurry and trying to burst through a Jugg then you are doing it wrong.

This is correct. I can confirm it will stack 4 times during it's channel.
