Here are the rotations to use:
Companion used: Kaliyo (Range Tank)
Starting out, you’re going to have limited options for DPSing. As such, the rotation you will be using early on is:
Ambush > Explosive Probe > Corrosive Dart > Snipe > Rifle Shot
Layer every attack with Rifle Shot and you will have little to no energy issues.
You will get a skill from your talent tree, at 20. The rotation once you receive that is:
Ambush > Explosive Probe > Interrogation Probe > Corrosive Dart > Snipe > Rifle Shot
And finally, you will receive Plasma Probe at 40. Your rotation/priority system should look like this:
Ambush > Explosive Probe > Plasma Probe > Interrogation Probe > Corrosive Dart > Snipe > Rifle Shot
Only use Plasma Probe if you have 3 or more targets that it will hit.
