Hey it's been a while since I played. Pre 1.2. I dinged 50 and was one of the hardest hitting PT's back in the day running pyro spec. Anyway I'm looking to get back into the game. From what I've been reading Pyro got nerfed pretty hard but it looks like it's getting some improvements this patch. So I think I'll stick it out and try it for a while to see what I can do. In the mean time can someone please point out what gear I should be looking to run for Pyro and what buffs/heals (stims and the like) I should be getting. Right now I'm all decked out in Battle Master with pieces of war hero sitting in my inventory. And I still need to get to 55. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated.

The classes in this game from a damage and healing prospective are on similar grounds. The real imbalances are based on CC, Speed, and Invulnerability and which classes have viable specs with them. Whoever gets the most of these wins because the game is based on objective based PVP. CC is especially helpful with stealth classes and objectives that take as long to cap as CC's last. (Eg. Civil War and the 8 second cc classes.) Anyone else feel this way?

Great job on the damage/kills and protection. Too bad you didn't fraps it. Would you mind posting your character sheet as well what gear/mods you are wearing? It would be nice to see what other PTs are rocking atm.

So what else are you leaving out now???

- Hype 1.2 Ranked warzones - Announce 1.2 1 day before launch - Continue to Hype stuff up - 5 Hours before release drop the major content. Priceless

PVP needs: - More Warzone variety. Only 3 warzones and a 4th on the way is still too little. - Ilum is a dud. You guys over hyped it and it sucked. As such you lost a ton of PVP players. It needs to be reworked and improved. This needs to be done in the next 2 months. With info regarding these changes being produced before Guild Wars 2 releases their preorder. If not TOR will never see the light of day in any PVPers eyes.

Bounty Hunter Powertech Carbonize: PvP armor for Combat Tech will no longer prevent this skill from stunning enemies. Taken directly from the notes.

I'll double check it tonight when I get home too be sure. Also is it a particular class you are having this issue with?

I stand corrected. Thanks.

Target must be burning in order to vent 8 heat. As of last night I had no issues with this. The 8 heat vented properly and the procs appeared to proc fine.

Grabbing Expertise Powerup + Adrenal still works. The expertise consumable however doesn't stack with the adrenal.

Not bad but your damage seems kinda low. And you could have used a little more AOE (DFA for instance) Other than that maybe throw in some more protection and carbonize and you should be well on your way.

There is no /pizza!!! Discuss

You need to look up what motherboard you have. If it was a premade like a Dell use their site. If it was custom you'll need to find the box or look at the motherboard itself inside your case.

The OCZ Vertex Line is awesome. It has super high read and write speeds. Depending on the SATA version your motherboard supports you can either run the Vertex 2 or 3. Vertex 2 - SATA 2.0 3.0Gbps Vertex 3 - SATA 3.0 6.0 Gbps Hope that helps -Vaul

We have great DPS you will not be disappointed. Before going A/P spec though have a good look through our forums. There are a lot of great specs posted here.

There's is lots of "PVP" action on Ilum. Where? The middle objective of course. This is where Empire players battle Empire players over armaments.

Hey I figured I throw up a video with some lower level PVP. Enjoy! Level 12 Pyrotech

The only guarding medal that I generally miss out on is the 50K protection which if I wanted to I could run Ion and still get it. However getting 10K protection with sonic missile and neural dart while running CGC is very easy. Unfortunately there is no Jet charge but we kill extremely fast and can pretty much perma snare/dot people while we kite/kill. And we kill quickly. However there is a lot more heat management involved. Thermal sensor override is one of our best abilities to help use IM. As for DPS I feel we are easily better but that could have a lot to do with my playstyle and not dying too often. It's rare for me to not have the highest damage, kills and Killing Blows in Warzones.

Added my Level 12 Pyrotech Video so people could see how we proform at lower levels. More to come. Enjoy.

As a side note I did notice Carbonize itself is working a lot better since the patch.

@QQeyes I know the feeling. I'm on Mandalore as well so see you when your 50.

Top of the line PC as of early last year running: Intel 3.2 Quad Core I7 12 Gbs OCZ Ram running at 1333 Mhz 2 Raid 0 OCZ Vertex 2 SSD Drives Ravage III Motherboard ATI 6970 Vietnam Edition running 11.12 Driver Win 7 x64 And believe it or not since Tuesdays patch the game is running even better.

The changes aren't perfect. However since the patch the buttons are much more responsive and the game is even running a lot better in PVP Warones. It finally feels like I don't need to hit the buttons 5x to get them to work.
