Operative Single Target Damage Skill Guide

uh ok this is a pure damage build thats a good idea, but then the boss needs lurch, and there are a bunch of skills that are energy optimised at 5, a common mistake that mandos and ops do in their builds is leave out the buffs thinking that the damage will be more, but you will do much better with a few points invested in precision... going 6 on everything may maximise the effect of the skill, but if you have fewer skills to cast, it means that you will have cast all your skills and wait around doing nothing, and since the dps is so high especially in the new levels you will have to switch targets pretty rapidly to effectively use even one of these skills in the first three levels, so the build you have atm is very effective at damaging bosses, but could do with more mob control, and even 1 point towards the combos is helpful (psychic lash for the backlash combo) and lurch

I will be adding the six points into precidion once I hit 36, as for the point in Lurch, I will be respeccin my skills to put one point from flames of insanity to Lurch. Expect a major guide update in the next month or so.
