Smuggler – Sharpshooter

[edadmin]

Build:

Stats Priority:
Cunning >= Accuracy (110%) > Surge (70%) > Power > Crit (25%) > Alacrity

Sharpshooter Gunslingers’ rotation focuses on getting as many Trickshots as possible due to its incredibly high damage, and it should always get priority above everything else. Speed Shot should be used on CD, and Aimed Shot only cast with 2 stacks of Charged Aim. Vital Shot should have as close to 100% uptime on the target as possible, and it is better for the rotation, if you have a GCD available and roughly 2-5 seconds remaining on VS, to reapply VS and use Aimed Shot or SS right after, instead of using a Charged Burst in the filler GCD.
XS Freighter Flyby, even with the reduced damage, should be used on your rotation if you have 1 GCD open, replacing a single Charged Burst for higher damage. It is also worth noting that Quickdraw also triggers Trickshot, so once your target is under 30%, with set bonus Quickdraw becomes a very cheap and powerful ability making the sub 30% rotation far easier to control energy than the usual rotation. It should replace any Charged Burst, XS Freighter Flyby and Sabotage Charge for higher dps.
