Each discipline has 8 choices where they pick 1 of 3 options. Utility points are gone! Instead, there is a new system called the Ability Tree. You can check at the top of the guide to see if the guide has been updated for the most recent patch. (Yes, I know Arsenal also offers the armor debuff, but that spec is in such bad shape, I don’t consider it to be fully functional at the moment).īioWare will likely be making balance changes throughout the first few patches, so be sure to check back to this guide after each update. Most notably, Sharpshooter is the only ranged spec that offers the armor debuff, so if your group needs ranged DPS and lacks the armor debuff, the group DPS gain from the armor debuff can be enough to compensate for the reduced output from Sharpshooter itself. That said, Sharpshooter still offers barely acceptable survivability thanks to the tools they didn’t lose.ĭespite all this, thanks to their group utility, there are still situations where Sharpshooter can be worth bringing to a raid. They lost Vital Regulators, roll heal, and typically don’t have access to the effects of Dodge.

When it comes to survivability, most disciplines got defensive nerfs with the launch of 7.0, but Gunslingers got hit particularly hard. They can offer some AoE, but it comes at a great cost to single-target sustained damage. Their sustained DPS is very low and their burst DPS is okay, but nothing to write home about. Unfortunately, this experience doesn’t translate as well to group content where Sharpshooter is not in a great spot. Thanks to their non-stop Aimed Shot autocrits, you’ll truly feel like a Gunslinger as you pick off every single enemy from afar with a single shot. Welcome to my 7.0 guide for Sharpshooter Gunslinger! Right now, Sharpshooter is one of the best and most authentic specs in the game for solo content.
