My gear is mostly Rakata, with a few pieces of Campaign and Black Hole gear. Buffs (fully Operation buffed, including a Prototype Hyper Battle Might Stim) and gear were identical, all I changed was my spec. My method was simple - DPS like I would on any boss for 6 minutes. I chose the time limit because when I first started trying to collect some serious and accurate data we were working on Firebrand and Stormcaller.



I want to acknowledge there are a lot of potential errors. I threw out a lot of samples because of significant lag, but smaller amounts and some human error were acceptable. I don't think I had a perfect rotation for any of three trees (yes, I tested Focus too), but I wasn't just face rolling either. Additionally, I didn't pop Inspiration, and I obviously could not use Dispatch. Since both of those abilities would impact all three skill trees in the same way, I think this can safely be ignored for the purpose of comparison.



Here's the good stuff, average DPS for each spec:

Combat: 1,433 DPS

Focus: 1,310 DPS

Watchman: 1,536 DPS



My stats buffed:

My stats unbuffed (and with no form active):

I'd love to see some more data, especially if it proves my general outline wrong. I've yet to see any hard data on this, so I collected my own.My gear is mostly Rakata, with a few pieces of Campaign and Black Hole gear.
