Hey there,

I've checked Dulfy, TORCommunity, and VULKK to help set up my new Gunslinger with Dirty Fighting.

I purchased the Masters Holocron from the Cartel Market, cuz hey, have to use those things somehow.. so might as well give it a go.

I have all my abilities, but I have no idea on how to spread out my Utility Points, my rotations, etc.

I prefer a guide that I can look back on occasionally, but whatever comes my way, Ill make use of.

If anyone knows of some good resources, I'd be most appreciative.

Trying to knock all the storylines out so I can hit Legendary.

Thanks very much!

It's written for Imp side, so you will have to translate it into Pub terminology, but this will help with about 90% of the translation: http://dulfy.net/2012/02/10/empirerepublic-abilities-translation/

Keep in mind that guide is for ops, not for story stuff, so it won't be totally accurate. You'll be using a lot more aoe stuff, so utility points to buff aoes will be good, and for a lot of enemies you'll be able to kill them faster without necessarily using your dots.

It's obviously totally up to you, but for the story I would consider using Sharpshooter, since it would let you kill stuff a lot faster.

Hey there, thanks for responding.

I'm totally a noob at this, so I have no idea what you mean by translate into Pub Terminology... I'm a super casual gamer. Are there any references on how to do that translation? Im a quick learner. I just want to make sure my combat proficiencies are correct and my rotation is set.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Abilities function identically on Imp Side an Pub Side, but they have different names.

Cull, on Imp side is Wounding Shots on Pub side.

The guide has everything you need to set up and run a Dirty Fighting gunslinger, but you have to translate the abilities from its Imp Side mirror (Virulence aka Lethality Sniper). That second link leads to a slightly out date but still extremely helpful spreadsheet that gives the names of most abilities on both sides.

But, if you are a true beginner, the poster above who said you should start with Sharpshooter (Marksman on Imp side) is correct. It is a much easier rotation to learn and you can clear all solo content with it with no problem.
