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.

References:

The priority system for Sharpshooter is a bit complicated, and requires you to think and make ability decisions almost constantly. This is because you want to cast Aimed Shot and Penetrating Rounds the moment they are both off of cooldown, but PR has a 12.0s CD while AS has an effective CD of 13.5s (you have to wait 12s for the actual CD, then cast it for 1.5s before it goes back on CD). Your priority should be the following:

Aimed Shot (with Smuggler's Luck)
Trickshot
Aimed Shot (without SL)
Penetrating Rounds
Quickdraw
Vital Shot
Charged Burst (with Smoking Barrels)
Flurry of Bolts
Charged Burst (without SB)

This system comes with a couple of conditions, as well.

Cast Hool head under 45 Energy
Cast Illegal Mods under 100 Energy (assumes you have the 4-piece set bonus)
Only cast Burst Volley if PR has at least 6s remaining on its CD. If PR is within 6s of coming off CD, hold onto BV and cast it after you cast PR.
Similarly, only cast Aimed Shot if Smuggler's Luck has at least 2s remaining on its CD.
Only cast Aimed Shot if you have at leas 1 stack of Charged Aim, never at 0.
You can cast Vital Shot when it has 1s remaining on your target, because the ability itself is not fired off until ~1s after pressing the button.

In theory, your optimal rotation is a 14s rotation very similar to the Simple Rotation, but with an additional Filler attached to the end, however this does not work in practice due to ability and input lag, which is why Sharpshooters must think on their feet.
