This is a good guide and most updated one for DPS Vanguard/Powertech that i have found

I don't think this merits it's own thread but, damn Assault spec.

2227DPS, Dread/Campaign Mix

Now if only BW would do something about the 300 DPS difference between both specs I could actually use the one I enjoy on my PT

I'd like Tactics/Advanced Prototype to be viable too. My main gripe is that this guy out parsed the 2.2k Gunslinger hybrid. No offensive to Worf or anyone that runs Assault, but that's absurd that a rotation as simple as Assault can beat hybrid Gunslinger which requires a lot of practice, skill, and patience. I've played Assault on Lick'my, in PvP I was able to beat BM geared and better players in a 3 piece WH Eliminator/Tanking Recruit Mk-2 gear without even knowing what the hell I was doing for the most part.

I know Assault was already nerfed a bit, but what I'd like them to do is make it so people actually use the full tree for PvE. I'm hoping that when they re-work and expand the skill trees in the future, that Assault (along with a few other trees) get reworked heavily.

I find it kinda funny how that parse does not use Pulse Cannon but does use Incendiary round. In fact all the high parses I've seen use Incendiary round, go figure. Will probably incorporate it into my rotation.
