Come on it can't be that bloody hard all we need is charged bolts and hail of bolts useable with a rifle rather than AC only.

 

Yes I realise it's a small DPS drop but who cares for most content.

I use them sometimes still, but then again I play a healer so it doesn't matter much.

It's a lot more than a small DPS drop. Your FA and Hammer shot suffer from using the blaster rifle.

 

Let us use blaster rifles effectively, Bioware!

Half the reason I picked the class was the assault cannon. Why would I use a blaster rifle? If I wanted to do that I'd have rolled a vanguard.

unless you're specced assault, who even cares about those attacks anyway

Hey now, sometimes Pulse Cannon and Mortar Volley are on cooldown.

Isn't assault a good enough reason?

 

You don't pvp as gunnery do you?

i didn't say it wasn't.

i quit PVP altogether sometime after 1.3

Well if you don't pvp you don't see the whole picture.

 

Dps commandos care about those attacks.

 

Assault is the pvp dps spec, therefore all dps commandos care about it.

 

I'm not saying gunnery is useless in pvp but I'd rather be tied up and beaten with a rubber hose than pvp with gunnery because it amounts to about the same thing when melee happens.

 

Just any kind of melee. Including the kind of melee that happens when an assault commando attacks a gunnery commando.

 

 

 

Of course some players use a blaster rifle for looks, works for a healer in pvp since you look like a vanguard until you green beam... worthless damage gimping as a dps in pvp and you'd get a clip round the ear for wasting time in endgame operations.

my commando has a valor rank of 70, so just because i don't pvp anymore doesn't mean i don't know what pvp is like for commandos.

 

look, i know you like assault, but i wasn't bad-mouthing it. i just made an offhand comment that was intended to be humorous (but i guess a lot gets lost in text sometimes), and now you're on your high horse quick to defend assault when i said already that i wasn't attacking it

This is pretty disingenuous. Rubber hoses would hurt less.

 

 

Also assault isn't any better in my experience.

I was replying to what you said at face value.

Hail of bolts is a must have in voidstar and I find myself having to use cannon in it or I just miss it too much. charged bolts for those who play assault.

 

Yes I do gimp myself and persevere with gunnery

Depends if you're one of those people who goes pvping with 300 cyber grenades...

 

I have a crossbow rifle so I'm going to pvp for a day as Gunnery either to troll enemies or to get rolled.

 

I lose nothing on all aoes and grenades (except HoB but that won't work now) or grav, stockstrike, demo round, pulse cannon.

 

I lose a bit of damage on HiB, Full Auto and default attack.

 

In a nutshell, tech attacks don't care, ranged attacks lose some dmg.

 

Important thing is however that Gunnery ramps up damage of all the important ranged attacks.

 

I cba cross dressing, I look like a stereotypical trooper but I have no backpack or cannon.

 

 

 

 

5/6 wins so far

 

A lot of alderaan which is nice for corner hugging.
