You'll have to take this with a grain of salt though as while it is a very good sim, it's still only a sim. The other thing to remember is that Leth rotation is far more difficult than concealment, which can be a DPS loss if you make errors. Furthermore, it's for sustained dps only. The moment you have to change targets (adds) your dps will drop as you require a lot of ramp up with hemo, 2 dots, shiv and then your big hitter, Cull.

Until DPS meters are in game though, I believe that Freehugs' calcs are a very good examply of what we can expect. If you're happy with the rotation and the limitations of the spec, then theoretically yes, it will do superior sustained damage than concealment.

I'm a gunslinger and I've played sharpshooter from day 1, I'm playing with the idea of going dirty fighting (lethality) now, but I did 470k damage in my last warzone so I'm not sure if lethality will give me any more damage. Have anyone tried lethality extensively? How do they compare damage wise?
