Gearing & Stats

The tables on this page were generated using optimizer scripts created by Bant aka Goblin_Lackey. The stats were calculated to give the maximum theoretical DPS/HPS/DTPS for each discipline, however you may wish to alter the builds depending on your play style or what content you are facing in SWTOR. Each table assumes you have a full set of the specified gear.

Rotation

Rocket Punch > Firestorm > Filler > Filler > Filler
Rocket Punch > Rail Shot > Filler > Filler > Filler

Filler: Jet Charge (8%) / Flame Burst (75%) / Rapid Shots (17%)

Comments: Tank Classes are handled differently and the dps rotation changes based on the resource proc bonuses of a boss hitting you. Time averaged Absorb is calculated based on the boss attack rate and attack type and the current defense and shield chances. Heat Blast is used on its effective cooldown.
