Xagarr offers you today a guide on the DPS Commando in Assault specialization for a PvE HL orientation. It is not about a guide "it is the most optimal solution" but rather of a guide "with this opti I manage to get out of it in nightmare". This guide is based on his experience (Fortress and Palace of Dread Cauchemar Clean) within the Guardian of Anachore guild.
Talent tree
Let's start with the Assault talent tree.
We must first differentiate the tree on a pole and the tree on the boss.
- Post
- Boss
2 / 8 / 36
0 / 10 / 36
We note the difference in the points concerning the recoil of the Fire of loaded guns. On bosses, you will regularly take damage. Thus, the recoil will apply if you don't take the points and the DPS will drop.
Optimization
We will differentiate two levels of stuff in order to explain the optimization.
- Index 180
- Index 186
- Secondary statistics :
- Critical: 240 Index
- Power: the rest
- Statesstiques tertiary :
- Precision: 470 index or 5 sophistications
- Influx: the rest
- Secondary statistics :
- Critical: 290 Index
- Power: the rest
- Tertiary statistics :
- Precision: 440 index, i.e. 4 sophistication and one improvement
- Influx: the rest
Of course the basic improvements will be Reflexes (Aim / Power). Alacrity is not required in this specialization. That which is given in the tree is sufficient.
Treatments
First, here are the abbreviations for the different spells:
We will distinguish two things:
- Opening
- In combat
Assault plastic
Electrofilet
Dopant
Incendiary Salvo
High impact shooting
Technological manipulation
Loaded cannon fire
High impact shooting
Cell economy
Plasma Grenade
Loaded cannon fire
Charged cannon fire
or High impact shooting
Assault plastic
Charged cannon fire
Charged cannon fire
High impact shooting
Incendiary burst
Charged cannon fire
Charged cannon fire
High impact shooting
Tirs cars
Charged cannon fire
High impact shooting
Assault plastic
And we resume the cycle.
The cycle is based on the High Impact Shooting proc. This is obtained every 6 seconds. We are therefore entitled to 3 GCD before each TFI. We therefore fill them by the refreshing of DoTs (Damage over time) as well as by attacks making proc the TFI.
Conclusion
The Assault specialization is for the moment (2.10) the best DPS spec for the Commando in fights requiring little change of target. Its natural resistance coupled with the two defensive tools of the tree make it a rather resistant DPS class.
Reminder of the defensive tools of the Assault specialization:
- Dispel (Field Aid) reduces damage over regular damage by 30%. On Tyrans, it is rather useful for example.
- The power of desaggro (Diversion) increases defense by 25% for 6 seconds.
