Where's the gunnery PvP videos?

Does anyone have a stream or fraps videos of some good lvl 50 PvP Gunnery gameplay? I know people think that we just sit in a corner and spam grav round, but the difference between 250K dmg and 500k dmg in a warzone is in the details. I've kinda reached a plateau of damage right around 300-350, I wanna see how the big boys put up their numbers.

Who has some good video of 350+ dmg warzones? I see Gunnerys put up 500K on my lil server (The Twin Spears) all the time in both Voidstar and Civil War, so I know it's out there, but not too many people on my server record :-(

There aren't any Gunnery videos because its extremely boring to watch someone turreting for 10 seconds before the other team realizes, "FREE KILL!" and proceeds to focus the Commando down every time he sticks his head outside the spawn area force field.

In my experience to get beyond the 300-350k damage you need to be a vanguard.

True, it wont be exciting to outsiders, but it'd be nice to see how people maximize our DPS. On The Twin Spears, there are 2 players that will get 4-500+ every Voidstar and Civil War warzone, and 300+ even in huttball (Shwigg and Valdorian, for those on TTS, I've even seen Trevyn (Arsenel Merc) get 700+). Our's is a very small server, so i'm assuming on the bigger servers that are more competitive and have a bigger pool of players, there are plenty doing that kinda damage plus more.

There are many factors that can come into play. Keller's Void is not huge, but bigger than many. There commandos are not doing 400 + except in strange circumstances, while vanguards are always close to the 500 mark. to see 700+ I would claim hacks, friendly opponents, or some other strangeness.

If any class is doing great amounts of damage in PVP they should be getting 'the treatment' by the opposing players. For example, after healers snipers are the first to be shredded by my team. They simply do not survive long enough to do great big numbers.

There is also the team play value of the WZ, and I guess the support one receives. Could you link some of those videos? I just can't see it being possible.

I dont have a lot of good ones, as most pics are taken to show something really weird, and 500K isnt so unheard of that it always demands a pic being taken. Such as, the only pic I could find of Shwiggs was the one in which Bubbles took a pic for almost hitting 1mil in heals (You may say thats why he hit 500K, but I promise you, he averages over 400K, he does crazy damage)

Like I said, if I had video, I wouldnt have made this post. I would've been content just watching the video. In fact, the entire point of this post is the fact that I have no videos of anyone ever going over 350K as a gunnery/arsenal.

Its easy to rack up damage, especially on Voidstar where everyone clumps in front of the doors. Plasma Grenade, Sticky Grenade and Mortar Volley will inflate your damage numbers a lot. In mostly Champion gear I've hit 460k on Voidstar. I'm always between 300k-400k on Huttball. In Alderaan it depends on your role and what the other team is doing.

Gunnery is easy to play and very easy to shut down. Thats why bads cry about grav round and good players don't think twice about Commandos.
