Tactics is a high burst melee DPS discipline that offers some of the best burst in game.
Ratings
Single Target Damage: 5/10
Though nothing has changed to our discipline in 5.0, our damage isn’t quite what it was in the previous tiers compared to other disciplines. But if you throw in the fact that we have 10 meter range on 4/6 of our core rotational abilities, as well as Reflective Armor and Electro Shield, we are still more than capable of keeping up with higher parsing specs in a raid.
AoE Damage: 5/10
Our AoE damage was never the best, but with 5.0 it got a little bit worse with new gimped replacements for Death from Above (Artillery Blitz) and Pulse Cannon (Ion Wave). We do however get a new replacement to Sticky Grenade (Flak Shell) which is our new highest damaging AoE ability, and can be used on 2 or more targets without having to sacrifice our single target rotation.
Burst Damage: 10/10
Tactics still has some of the best burst currently in game due to off the global cooldown Shoulder Cannons, combined with Battle Focus and an auto crit on Cell Burst every minute (with the 6 piece set bonus), as far as damage goes, this is the #1 thing you are bringing into a raiding environment.
Raid Utility: 9/10
With Reflexive Shield and 30% AoE/Stun damage reduction, Tactics is more than qualified for off tanking if the situation calls for it. Combine that with Sonic Rebounders, and the Sundered and Susceptible debuffs and we’re neck and neck with Sentinels as far as utility goes. Also as of 5.0 we are now able to Guard so it’s not much but it’s a little something extra.
Survivability: 9/10
With Heavy Armor, Reflexive Shield absorbing damage and reducing the cooldown on Reactive Shield, Sonic Defense proc from Sonic Missile AND 30% AoE/Stun damage reduction, Tactics is capable of taking a beating where other disciplines would pop like a balloon.
Gearing
The following numbers are taken from Bant’s Optimal Stats For All 24 Disciplines, KoTET Edition forum post on the SWToR website. For reference E = Enhancement (this includes Implants and Earpieces); A = Augment; C = Crystal.
The most important part about gearing is getting as close to the 736 accuracy cap as you can, the rest of the stats can be played around with a bit, as long as you don’t go over the top with it. As far as relics go you will still want to use the Focused Retribution and Serendipitous Assault ones. For Set bonus you will want the 6 piece Combat Tech set bonus to maximize DPS potential.
Utility
Recommended utilities are in bold
Skillful
Iron Will
Reduces the cooldown of Tenacity by 30 seconds and the cooldown of Hold the Line by 10 seconds.
Reduced cooldown on Hold the Line is good for both mobility and completely ignoring mechanics. Reduced cooldown on Tenacity is more of a PvP thing.
Parallactic Combat Stims
You recharge 20 Energy Cells when stunned, immobilized, knocked down or otherwise incapacitated. Additionally your next Tech ability deals 10% extra damage or healing.
Situational, but good on fights where you get stunned a lot like Brontes, or the Drouks in Explosive Conflict. Take this over Battlefield Training if that is the case.
Reflective Armor
When Into the Fray is triggered, it will also deal X elemental damage to the attacker if the attacker is within 10 meters.
100% mandatory to have, as there is usually some sort of AoE damage going out on almost all fights, and it’s free elemental damage each time you get hit.
Entangling Tools
Tactical Surge, Ion Pulse and Explosive Surge reduce the movement speed of affected targets by 25% for 3 seconds. Additionally, Neural Jolt slows the target by 50% for 6 seconds.
PvP utility
Muzzle Augs
Increases the range of Ion Pulse and Tactical Surge by 2 meters and the radius of Explosive Surge by 1 meter
Worthless, 2 meter increase? LUL
Shrap Satchel
Increases Explosive Surge damage by 25%
Take this if you are in a fight with a lot of adds.
Masterful
Battlefield Training
Increases movement speed by 15%. (only works while in combat)
Only taken as there’s not much else for PvE, but 15% extra movement speed is always good.
Electro Shield
When activated, your Reactive Shield charges with electricity, zapping attackers for elemental damage when they deal direct damage to you. This effect cannot occur more than once each second.
100% mandatory, free elemental damage when getting hit while Reactive Shield is active.
Accelerated Reel
Reduces the cooldown of Harpoon by 10 seconds.
PvP utility
Sonic Rebounder
Sonic Round protects all friendly targets in its area of impact, excluding you, granting Sonic Rebounder, which reflects the next direct, single-target attack back at the attacker.
100% mandatory, helps out the healers and DPS checks. This is one of the best utilities we bring so use it!
Containment Tactics
Reduces the cooldown of Cryo Grenade by 15 seconds.
PvP utility
Frontline Defense
Reduces the cooldown of Riot Strike by 2 seconds.
PvP Utility
Heroic
Strategic Supremacy
Harpoon immobilizes the target for 3 seconds. In addition the cooldown of Stealth Scan is reduced by 5 seconds, and any target it reveals is immobilized for 3 seconds and increases the movement speed of all allies within the scan area, excluding yourself, by 50% for as long as they remain within it and for 6 seconds after it expires or they leave the area.
PvP utility
Advance the Line
Increases the duration of Hold the Line by 4 seconds.
Good for increased mobility and being able to ignore some mechanics.
Smothering Slag
Flak Shell reduces the movement speed of all affected targets by 75%. This effect can only occur once every 30 seconds.
PvP utility
Paralytic Augs
Increases the durations of Cryo Grenade by 1 second and Neural Surge by .5 seconds.
PvP utility
Re-energizers
When Reserve Powecell is activated, it recharges 10 energy cells over the next 5 seconds and immediately increases threat towards all current enemies by a small amount if Ion Cell is active, or reduces threat towards all current enemies if Ion Cell is not active.
Gives an extra 10 energy cells to play around with, take it.
Efficient Tools
Allows Adrenaline Rush to be activated while stunned and causes Adrenaline Rush to purge stun effects when activated. This will not work against other types of incapacitating effects or scripted stuns, which are often used by Flashpoint and Operation bosses or other special non-player characters. In addition, increases the range of Harpoon and Shoulder Cannon by 10 meters and eliminates the heat generated by Cryo Grenade and Neural Surge.
PvP utility
Legendary
Aim Extensions
Battle Focus grants Aim Extensions, allowing Ion Pulse, Tactical Surge, Ion Wave, Ion Storm, Flak Shell, Artillery Blitz, Energy Blast, Cell Burst, Plasma Flare, and Plasmatize to be used at 30 meters for 15 seconds.
Useless, looks cool, but that’s about it.
Guard Cannon
Damaging a target with your Shoulder Cannon Missiles heals you for 3% of your total health.
Might be good for solo content, but worthless in endgame PvE.
Pull and Pummel
Harpoon deals tech damage to pulled targets and grants Pull and Pummel, causing your next Stock Strike or Shock Strike against the pulled target to deal 20% additional kinetic damage and stun the target for 1.5 seconds. This effect lasts for 6 seconds.
Useful when dummy parsing to replace a Rapid Shots but that’s about it.
Focus Stims
Battle Focus increases damage done by 5% while Ion Cell is being utilized and increases damage reduction by 5% while Ion Cell is not being utilized.
Worthless
Charge the Line
Hold the Line increases movement speed by an additional 45% while active.
Good for on demand speed boost.
Battering Blitz
Using Storm grants Battering Blitz, resetting the cooldown of Storm and increasing movement speed by 30% for 6 seconds. While Battering Blitz is active, Storm may be used once within 10 meters of the target and deals 50% additional damage but does not cause an additional interrupt, immobilize or charge. This effect cannot occur more than once every 15 seconds.
Might be useful for leveling, but other than that, worthless.

Rotation & Priorities
Opener
As said before nothing has really changed with the rotation in 5.0, so I found this to still be the best opener. Make sure to have all 7 Shoulder Cannons loaded and all 4 Energy Lodes before pulling. Explosive Surge should also be used before engaging combat as it gives you free 15 energy cells to play around with, try to wait until you energy is at 100 before pulling.
You will lose out on 1 Energy Lode by using this opener, but in the end makes things flow a lot smoother as Stockstrike and Assault Plastique won’t interfere with one another by doing this.
Priority System
Proccing Tactical Accelerator every 6 seconds.
Stockstrike and Assault Plastique on cooldown
4 stack Cell Burst
High Impact Bolt
Tactical Surge / Hammer Shot
Tactical Accelerator must be procced on cooldown as it helps with energy management and ensures that Gut is kept on the target. An easy way to keep track of this is to go into StarParse Timers -> Settings, then setup a timer exactly like this.
Stockstrike and Thermal Assault Plastique are used on cooldown to keep the Sundered and Susceptible debuffs on the target and to keep things flowing smoothly, which one you use first honestly just depends on how close you are to proccing Tactical Accelerator. I only use Assault Plastique 1st over Stockstrike if delaying Stockstrike procs Tactical Accelerator. I see a lot of players not use these 2 abilities on cooldown. If you do not use these on cooldown you end up using more Tactical Surges which is a very poor GCD compared to Stockstrike and Assault Plastique.
4 stack Cell Burst is your hardest hitting ability, but is only limited by Tactical Accelerator procs and doesn’t have an actual cooldown, so that is why it is not prioritized over Stockstrike and Assault Plastique.
High Impact Bolt is procced every 6 seconds through Tactical Accelerator, it is one of your hardest hitting abilities and needs to be used to refresh the Gut DoT.
Flak Shell takes priority over Tactical Surge if 1. The target has Gut ticking on them and 2. You already have your set bonuses procced. The reason this does slightly more dps than Tactical Surge is due to the forced DoT tick from Flak Shell. A helpful tip in knowing when your set bonuses will proc is going into StarParse and setting up a timer for your 2 piece set bonus, and your 6 piece set bonus.
Last is Tactical Surge and Hammer Shot, Hammer Shot should only be used to replace a Tactical Surge that won’t proc your Tactical Accelerator and only if you don’t have either Recharge Cells or Reserve Powercell available.
AoE Rotation
In terms of raw damage the priority for AoE is:
Ion Wave
Flak Shell
Explosive Surge with 25% bonus
Artillery Blitz
Explosive Surge without 25% bonus
Unless you’re clearing trash in an operation I just recommend following the single target rotation and swapping out Tactical Surges for Flak Shells and Explosive Surges if on 2+ targets. You can also swap out a Cell Burst for an Ion Wave if on 4+ targets.
Double dotting
If you have 2 targets that are relatively close to each other, you can swap out a Tactical Surge that doesn’t proc Tactical Accelerator, with a Gut on another target. To make this worthwhile you need to swap your High Impact Bolts between the 2 targets, or if they are close enough you can use Flak Shell to keep the DoT from Gut rolling on both targets. Examples of fights that I do this on is Sword Squadron in Temple of Sacrifice, 1st Phase Brontes in Dread Fortress, and 2nd Phase of Dread Council in Dread Palace.
Sample Parse and Video
Here is a link to my current highest parse. The parse is done in old 224 set bonuses and left side, 240 mainhand, 234 offhand, and full 240 mods and enhancements.

About Me
Most people know me as Jay/Jaymis, or by my Marauder’s name Septumis. I have been playing SWTOR since 2.0 but never got into hardcore raiding until late 3.0. I joined <Failure> on the Harbinger in 4.0 and have since then cleared all content this game has to offer in 4.0 including Timed Runs and everything in 5.0 excluding Dragonslayer, Dread Master and Gate Crasher. You can watch me live on Twitch here.
I found that Strategic Supremacy utility dosent increase allies speed if they are in stealth scan area. Imperial counter part working as intended.
Jaymis
Interesting, haven’t tested it personally, but honestly doesn’t surprise me with all the current bugs they haven’t fixed.
Лев Сафаров
When 5.0 in shield spec discipline they forget to remove energy cost of ion storm when buffed, but then they fixed it. Maybe this one wasnt in their attention.
Demanufacture
Tactics Vanguard was my second love prior to 4.x, when they nerfed the crit percentages and basically stomped on the class by doing this.
The exceptional burst capability and damage sustainability made me really like this class, I rolled another 2 toons just for how much I enjoyed raiding with it.
Reading the guide almost made me go back and start gearing up – until I saw the parse results.
It really shocked me that Tactics is so much on the low-end. Don’t mean to mock your results or anything (as a dummy parse does not mean that it’s weak on OPS and so), just pointing out that the class itself is weaker (at least on dummy) than it should be (or as it was before).
With almost the same gear (240 mods + enhancements + weapons but with 230 implants and earpiece) on my Combat Sentinel I could do 9700+ on dummy and always perform DPS 1st on my raiding team.
For the record, I also need to say that a guildie made above 10k with his Shadow in the same gearing.
But since you could clear 5.0 NiM with Tactics, I guess it’s still viable, just does not shine as bright as it did in 3.x.
Anyways, thanks for the update on the class guide, I’m so disappointed that this great class gets not as much love from Bioware as e.g. Commandos do.
Keep up the good work, cheers!
Jaymis
I did manage to get 9.1k on the dummy the other day and there’s another guy above me with like a 9.4k. The spec is for sure weaker than it has been before but it is still quite good IMO, it is just highly crit dependent due to it’s passive critical damage bonus.
As for your Shadow guildie there is currently a bug for Sins/Shadows that causes you to have double stance and every time you use Psychokinetic Blast/Ball Lightning it grants 2 stacks of Breaching Shadows/Static Charge instead of 1 so they end up getting way more Force Breaches/Discharges. On top of that they get more procs from their stance, hence their insane damage at the moment.
Demanufacture
Ohh, didn’t knew about this bug on Shadows / Sins, I really wondered what happened that they skyrocketed on the parses so suddenly – thanks for the heads up!
The numbers you wrote sound more promising, I think I’ll put together some gear for my VG toons and start to use them once 5.1 arrives.
Unfortunately the current system killed my alts (as almost everyone’s having time only to level their main), they are just gathering dust and collecting crafting materials. :
Demunoki
This is the Advanced Prototype equivalent, isn’t it?
Damian
Yes, it is.

Hi, I would like some advice from you jaymis… As you have done so many dummy parsing and different stats comparisons. Can you 100% confirm that stacking alacrity up to 1400+ will significantly increase your dps? See I have heard ppl say that 1k/1.1k ala is enough and rest should be put into other stats like power/mastery. From your experience on pt/vg, what’s most efficient dps wise? thx for help and helpful guide
Jaymis
It’s mainly just a personal preference. You just wanna get your alacrity high enough so that your Heat Disippation Rate/Energy Regen Rate is around 5.6 which is roughly 1200 alacrity. If you have less than that Heat/Energy management becomes a bit wonky. Haven’t actually tested the actual number differences to give you an exact answer but the dps difference between different builds is minimal.
Timothy Barr
Hi, I am a casual player only, is this relevant to solo play? If not can you please suggest a rotation and stats priority, abilities for solo play>?
Jaymis
This applies for solo play.
Timothy Barr
great, thank you!
Scott Orr
Hi, I am new at this game and completely in the dark. Where do I find these numbers you are listing for mastery, crit, accuracy, ect. I have looked at my character sheet in game and don’t see it.
You say “Flak Shell” has a higher priority than taktical surge if gut is on target and both set bonuses are procced. I wonder why you don’t use it than. After looking through your parses I couldn’t see you following that priority and yous tactical surge instead like all the others do. Or is the difference between those two abilitys too small? Nice guide anyways! 🙂
Jaymis
I found out Flak Shell is better than Tac Surge after releasing the guide and I just recently updated it. I Have not yet gotten to recording a new video though.
William Li
Death from above was for Merc (now renamed as “Deadly Onslaught”).Here, as vanguard, it was named ” Mortar Volley”
Big_Time_Spider
I just rewatched the flashpoint beta footage of the BH and SM and man so nostalgic and so full of potential and for the most part imo it fulfilled especially with the KOTFE and KOTET expansions.
Epowerbiggs
The info on how to set up a starparse timer for the TA proc is missing. Thanks for the guide!
