Ive had an amazing time over the years and cant wait to see whats in store for the years to come. This Energy regeneration is essential to you being able to do your rotation. A wide variety of Gunslinger Builds for PvE and PvP. How mana do you need? Im not sure why this is. The best time to activate this is right before you cast the Aimed Shot before Burst Volley that will be followed by Penetrating Rounds x2 thanks to Burst Volley so your Illegal Mods rotation will look like: The accuracy increase is not applicable in PvE because bosses dont have additional defense chance like that. Just keep adding one augment at a time until you reach the desired percentage. While it seems pretty identical to Sorcerer / Sage Phase Walk on the surface, there are several key differences: Luckily, the ability is still off the GCD, even though it has a castbar, so you can still use it while the GCD is active for another ability. Another of the abilities is the movement ability with the longest cooldown. Discerning the damage type relevant to what Surrender mitigates is fairly easy; if the attack is coming directly from a lightsaber swing or blaster, its a Melee/Ranged attack and if its anything else, its probably force/tech. If you really want to be a clicker, I highly recommend you at least keybind this ability or you will have trouble with some of the shorter casts that need to be interrupted. The Gunslinger Build offers you a variety of benefits that make it one of the best builds in Lost Ark. Part of knowing a fight is understanding how much damage you take and what you can do to mitigate that damage. Refraction Point also has a very nice bonus, since it causes Penetrating Rounds to deal damage to multiple enemies and Penetrating Rounds applies the armor debuff, this tactical allows you to provide the armor debuff to multiple enemies at the same time, which is super rare. Shatter Bullet with Cannon Pistol deals a beautiful 280 Impact in one shot, more than enough to knock down most enemies and allow for an easy backstab. To get the full benefit, youd use Illegal Mods anytime on a tank or another role thats using a DCD that increases their defense chance, like Deflection for Assassins, Saber Ward for Warriors, or Chaff Flare for Mercenaries. Its pretty straightforward, it increases your alacrity by more than enough to get you from the 1.4s GCD to the 1.3s GCD and lasts long enough to allow you to get an extra ability in the same amount of time, which means you can fit Penetrating Rounds alongside the additional Trickshot into the gap in your rotation. It would be kind of neat if they put more effort into having this work though since Gunslingers arent the only class that have something like this. Battle rezzes in general are now healer-only, but there is no longer a global 5 min lockout on those abilities, so its treated just like any other ability, albeit with a much longer cooldown. A lot of the time things are immune to being knocked back and when they arent immune, its better that theyre all grouped up to be killed as fast as possible. The 15% increased armor penetration for 10 seconds is only equivalent to a 5.25% damage increase for your weapon attacks (so everything but Vital Shot and Bombing Run). If you think Medpacs are too expensive, its time to get Biochem on one of your alts or even better, your raiding toon so that you can make your own or get reusables. I did not observe a significant DPS difference from this approach. Remember, Bombing Run is a tiny bit stronger than Sweeping Gunfire for AoE, but it wont ever be essential to taking down groups of adds and you cant spam it, so youre better off not taking it for group content if you only need to AoE. The more notable distinction is that youll have to use Cool Head if you dont use Trickshot. If a tank is out of defensive cooldowns and needs another its okay to use. Smugglers Luck is used before everything else because the buff lasts for 20 seconds and only affects the very next use of Aimed Shot, so the earlier to activate Smugglers Luck, the earlier it will become available again, just be sure to not pop it so early that it falls off before you get to actually use Aimed Shot. This inconsistent behavior can cause problems in raiding, which is why you should just remove the Take Cover ability from your bar entirely. Hunker Down now directly provides the 60% AoE RDT (reduced damage taken); there is no utility point required. You gear for the 10% defense/resist chance they have and then if there is some additional effect that messes with accuracy, like the clouds of dust you encounter during the Foreman Crusher fight in KP, its generally much stronger, so 30% wouldnt do enough. Use Cool as soon as it's available out of combat and load a Frost Bullet, as it will remain until you fire it. This forces you to read through what everything does so that you can understand what all of your passives and abilities do as well as locate these abilities in-game. On its own, Surrender is your threat drop, but it can get buffed by 2 separate options in the ability tree.

When one of the tanks or healers just died, pop it instantly, especially if a tank just died, because theres a good chance that the boss is about to hit someone else or the group really hard. Deconstruct all those useless Iron Swords and Machetes that drop from the legions of bandits and you'll be swimming in them. I prefer Agitating Energies, but you could use Refraction Point or even B-0 Differential Targeting System (PvP tactical) if you prefer.

Honestly, I wouldnt specifically cater to Sharpshooters needs at all. Tripod 1.

Since this build uses Relentless Shots, the gap in your rotation is completely eliminated. This proc further reinforces that Charged Burst is supposed to be used twice and turns Aimed Shot from a 2s cast into a 1.5s cast, meaning it is a GCD. This is your knockback. To be clear, Operative / Scoundrel DPS is by no means required and is not the only Combat Style that provides the DPS debuffs used by Sharpshooter, they are just the most efficient and allow greater flexibility in terms of what the other group members can bring. Utility points are gone! Unless you know that a big hit is coming up and you dont have anything else available, this ability is best used if you can time it for when Hunker Down is not active, or on cooldown if theres just a bunch of damage going out. Please be careful to not activate Smugglers Luck again until you consume the previous stack. The third option is less consistent, it seems to be there as an extra balance lever for BioWare since some abilities that got locked away are more impactful than others. the build is only good because it takes advantage of a spell in a tree. Without them, the build no longer accomplishes its primary function. If your favorite trick is "use gun on man", the Gunslinger is for you. If youre switching targets temporarily, like to an add that needs to be focused down, only apply Vital Shot if youll get more than 5 ticks out of it, otherwise using Charged Burst instead will deal more damage. Even with the inconsistent uptime, you can easily wind up taking less damage than other classes since you can control when your mitigation is active to take less damage against big hits. If you dont want to bother with extra relics, just always use the Relic of Serendipitous Assault. When you create a new Charged Burstr or Gunslinger, the ability that gets placed on your bar is called Take Cover. If Im not activating an ability right now, why not? The second relic depends on which build youre using. Melee/Ranged attacks also tend to be more frequent and individually weaker attacks, though you can look at your damage taken in StarParse if you want to be sure.

In addition, you can still teleport while stunned, so even if the button is grayed out, it will still work. You can either use Burst Volley on cooldown whenever you have enough time to do a full Penetrating Rounds grouping, which generally means you wont get the full benefit of the cooldown reduction, though you may get an additional use out of Burst Volley over the course of the fight; or you can save Burst Volley until right after you finish the Penetrating Rounds grouping to use that grouping twice in a row. If youre able to take Perfect Scheme, you get a nice bit of extra DR for 15 seconds that should help when you find yourself needing to activate Bag of Tricks. You may want to consider using the AoE build for Heroics. Hideouts cooldown is twice as long as Phase Walks. Most of the benefit can be had for pretty cheap, but if you need that extra performance boost and are willing to fork over the credits, you do have access to more powerful gear. Explore.
