Kaos_KidSWTOR Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Well, I know some things about AP, but im not a wizard. Rotation: Retrac Blade > Immolate > Rocket Punch > Rail Shot > Flame Burst/Flame Sweep x2 > Flamethrower Repeat to infinity. Gear: Aim > Power > Surge > Accuracy 95%/105% > Crit, Crit actually has a small part in the stat budget with 78's but it's nothing significant. Surge and Power are your main focuses because Rail Shot gets an Auto-Crit from Rocket Punch. Also, run in HEGC (High Energy Gas Cylinder for people less PT inclined) Never run IGC (Ion Gas Cylinder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperSev Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Ap has a priority system like most classes. Stay under 40 heat for max regen. 1. Retractable blade to refresh the bleed dot 2. Flamethrower with 3 stacks of pft 3. Rail shot with auto crit buff 4. Rocket punch with free buff 5. Immolate on cd 6. Flame burst for filler RB should be the first thing you do. Not only does the bleed provide roughly 10% of your dmg but it also makes all your other abilities do 3% more dmg also. 3 stack pft is what you are aiming for by the time flamethrower is off cd. Also with the most recent patch it lowers its heat by 6 greatly increasing heat management. Don't RS unless you have the proc. it's a dps loss if it doesn't crit and RP has a lower cd than RS so it shouldn't be a problem. Also crits never miss. Gearing wise. Aim- power-acc 99.5,109.5- surge and last crit. Like the last guy said some crit is ok when the gear is high enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunner_Venda Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Read kazooie's guide, and watch his video. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=679488 It will teach you how to be a serious contender as an AP/VG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my rotation, Flamethrower with 3 stack PFT is put last over RS with auto Crit. So at most, your priority list is the same as my rotation, just 2 things swapped.
