Carlenux Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Actually, if you look back that wasn't what he was asking. He was asking why it did so much more damage than any other spec, nothing about it being used or not being used in a raid. umm yeah i guess, thats true... then it had nothing to do with him lol, guess its a pointless conversation now so yeah, at least we kept the thread bumped on top with the useless engineer conversation >.< lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConCube Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I don't really see where a shadow dps is more time-consuming, but that's not the problem here. I wasn't judging you, it's normal you want to try another class, I was saying that the class isn't enough attractive for most players, it's Devs fault not yours. The only reason to play this class as a dps is because you enjoy it, personally I chose this class since beta, I was happy enough to never change my main. I made the maximum possible to never become a tank (took 4 months to buy tank skills), I never chose to loot a tank piece, I knew it was a trap, most dps shadows have become tanks or took another dps class. If you want to change it's beause the fun factor isn't enough compared to the dps factor (but we have our place in any raid difficulty), I totally understand your choice, it's not helping us, but again it's not your fault, it's a choice made by Devs. Yeah I understand! Anyway - what about discussing about how the trees could be made competitive? Should we use another threat in the suggestionsforums or the classforums? I habe a few ideas there I want to suggest!

paowee Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) So I'd like to understand how the Gunslinger Saboteur build can be so high compared to other pure dps builds, the sent for instance. Doesn't this show the Sab build is a little op and may get a nerf at some point. Now before someone goes off on one me about nerfs I'm not asking for anything to be nerfed, I myself have 3 slingers. I'm simply asking because a guildie says its fotm for sab slingersa then and means less competition for the other classes and possibly in need of a nerf if it really pulls 500 odd dmg more than anyone else... Hi Macabdul! This is the problem i can see with Engineering parses here in the forums. Prone to misconception. The way Engineering does around 20% of its DPS is using the ability Covered Escape/Hightail It. If you are an Engineering or Saboteur Sniper/Slinger, using Covered Escape/Hightail it drops 5 bombs in a trail behind you. The trail is 18m long. If the boss is wide enough so that you can roll through its entire width and drop all 5 bombs, then the spec's potential outmatches your other Sniepr specs. However if you are fighting humanoid or small bosses, OR bosses that are mobile and move a lot, conversely the spec will do less DPS compared to the other Sniper specs. Even if u master or idk cheat and use Macro for jump + bombs, which can fail too, or boss have big reticles and get hit by it too much That is going to get fixed in a future patch according to Bruce McClean in an interview by someone during the SWTOR San Diego cantina event. No need to worry about that. I was referencing the sniper roll specDon't mind odawgg. He wants Engineering nerfed! P.S. I think only Engineering (and maybe Lightning Sorcs and smash Warriors) can take the crown away from Mercs in terms of AoE Now onto some ~facts (based on: Large bosses = Engineering ok) NiM Scum and Villainy Dashroode = large enough for Engineering to work Titan 6 = large enough for Engineering to work Trasher = large enough for Engineering to work Ops Chief = Engineering is not optimal (boss uses flashbang as well on melee) Olok = Engineering is not optimal (mobile adds and bosses) Cartel Warlords = Engineering is not optimal (mobile bosses Styrak = Engineering is VERY sub optimal (last time i ran Engineering i was 300K behind what i normally do as MM) 3 out of 7 bosses NiM Terror From Beyond Writhing Horror = large enough for Engineering to work Dread Guard Council = Engineering is not optimal (EXTREMELY mobile bosses. lay down your plasma probe ~12-15% of your DPS and watch Ciphas run out of it) Operator IX = large enough for Engineering to work Kephess The Undying = Engineering is not optimal (too small) Terror From Beyond = Engineering is doable 2 out of 5 bosses. Or 5 out of 12 bosses. Less than half the relevent gear dropping bosses is where Engineering is higher DPS compared to Marksman (a spec that can run 12 out of 12 bosses and be optimal on each one), or DoT spec (that can run 12 out of 12 bosses and do exceptional DPS on some bosses and only slightly less DPS versus MM, against other bosses). Rhetorical question: If we were to nerf Engineering because of its ability to do its optimum DPS in less than half the boss fights in this game... well... WHY? MM can do its optimum DPS in 12 out of 12 bosses. DoT spec maybe 10 out of 12. Should we nerf those specs as well? Because clearly they can do their optimum DPS on double the number of bosses as Engineering. Non-rhetorical question: We will never know until we get an answer from the Devs. Is Engineering/Scatter bomb DPS on large size bosses working as intended. Or is it all just clever use of game mechanics that someone found out and then started posting about all over the forums?

macabdul Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Nice reply B'oarder. Clears that up for me. Gonna stick to my MM slinger as my main then and not just because of dps. I like the way it plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way it plays. Your welcome. That and unless you want to re-learn and re-adjust to a new playstyle for your class. Just to give you an idea... in NiM Op 9. You have to look for a right spot to roll from in phase 2, otherwise you can end up rolling into a wrong color and insta killing yourself. I nearly died in our kill attempt. I rolled and right at the end of the roll black obtuse popped. I was color ORANGE and on my screen i was like... 1 millimeter away from a BLUE circle swirling behind me.

xXsgtstinkerXx Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Spent a while on the dummy over this week and got some better ones. I did the opposite- increased crit instead of gaining power. Also got my apm up a bit and used crit adrenals. Here's a few over 3k and update for Mruniverse, vanguard in 2/22/22 spec: http://www.torparse.com/a/360012/time/1375134829/1375135129/0/Damage+Dealt -3030.32 dps http://www.torparse.com/a/360015/time/1375083124/1375083424/0/Damage+Dealt -3060.19 dps http://www.torparse.com/a/360174/time/1375079937/1375080237/0/Damage+Dealt -My best at 3104.64 dps (I'm comin for ya Thoric =p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiralukaJedi Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'll probably have been in the next few days if I sit around in parse. Finally decided to PVP enough to try out the extra orbital tick and noticed a huge difference. At same time, it was third time trying out a few changes. Pretty sure I can finally break 3000. Didn't want to post until I was close. Figured 2960 was close enough to 3000 that I wouldn't feel TOO ashamed posting it.

Lendish Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hey guys, and used crit adrenals. Is a Crit Adrenal better than an Power Adrenal? And if yes, only for Dummy parses or also for Operations Combats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXsgtstinkerXx Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Well for me as a vanguard if I use a crit adrenal and battle focus at the same time I get a ton of crits which is better than harder hitting regular attacks that don't crit. It's just opinion though. Edited July 30, 2013 by xXsgtstinkerXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01:24:12.162 Mruniverse leaves combat. I made the Plasma Cell burning tech apply and fade lines Bold and Red. The only effect fading from the dummy is GUT @ 01:24:11.792. Plasma Cell's burning tech never faded, yet you leave combat at 01:24:12.162 which is not possible unless Plasma Cell wears off. I like your crits though.
