Recently I've seen that some of our spellslingers in guild aren't running the optimal builds for top DPS, while still having utility for the veteran content (INTERRUPTS). Having cleared nearly all of the veteran content, I can tell you guys what you need to run.
The Ignite Build
This build will require you to track two ignite triggers, and time them perfectly. I suggest downloading either Buffmaster or Aura Mastery. This build is the BEST single target DPS for spellslingers, and will compete with nearly everything but an engineer (f**k you Frigid)
The Ignite Build. (Click dat)
Rotation : QD -> Ignite -> SS Ignite -> SS Barrage -> QDQDQDQDQDQDQDQDQDQDQDQ
Obviously there is a lot of room in there, that is just your core rotation. You need to spam flame burst and assassinate whenever you have it, barrage is just a trick to proc flame burst. IGNITE TRIGGERS TAKE PRIORITY OVER EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR INTERRUPTS.
The Charged Shot Build
This build will require absolutely nothing of you, you just get to see huge numbers on the screen. When I don't really want to track a ton of ignite triggers on trash packs in STSM veteran (1 1/2 hour+ of trash), I use this build. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this build, it's just much easier to use.
The Charged Shot Build. (Click dis)
Rotation Core : QD -> SS CS. Just spam the rest and do interrupts. Trigger fingers helps.
Doesn't really matter what you do here. Just make sure you use cooldowns effectively and interrupt when it is your time.
Why T4 gate?!??!?!?! DPS LOST?!?!?!?!??! MUST DPS?!?!??!?!
Shutup. Veteran content is all about interrupts, and if you do these builds right, you'll be pulling 4-5k DPS single target. Interrupts are the most important part of the game, and you need to be able to break 2 interrupt armor WHILE interrupting.
How to interrupt as a spellslinger?
AS --> Gate
Raid Build
For Raid, we'll have to talk in-game. We use a special void pact build that you should run with minimal DPS loss. It's a trade secret!!! :P
Runes
Always rune AP.
Weapon Specialist 12/12 is a massive boost to DPS, go for that.
Secondary includes Assassin, etc, just do what your runes constrain you to. Don't rune pieces with less than 2-3 slots.
Gearing Guide
Crafted gear all the way. Message Porowns in-game.
