They only do 50% of your hp if they don't crit. When they do crit it's more like 80% or so... Sometimes even all of your health. Don't underestimate Operatives... My buddy plays one alongside my Assassin and we jump out of stealth and completely ream people. It's all about if you are legitimately good at playing your class. If you don't like stealth I would stay away from it though.

Agreed, the naga is probably one of the best you will find. I could never go back either!

The Pyrotech does need a little buff... I really don't want to go back to Arsenal, simply because I did not like being a glorified rocket turret.

I don't know if I'd say this game will fail or not. All I can say is that I reached 50 on my Merc and realized that the game really isn't fun. The level of immersion doesn't even seem to be there, exploration is completely gone, and I do believe that progression in this game is too fast and easy. I'm not just talking about leveling either, Valor rank, storyline, and gear collection are all waaaaaaay too easy. Also, just in my opinion, the endgame gear (PvE and PvP) looks horrid. Like I said, I can't say the game will fail, but it failed for me personally. Thank you BioWare for making me wait 5 years for a ******** game, I could have been having fun elsewhere. I will be switching to Rift, which is about 10 times better than this game will ever be.

I just switched to this spec a couple of days ago. Didn't actually see your build until after I reset my last time though, weird I went 3/5/32 i think... something like that. Anyway, I have a lot of fun in Pyro, jumping around and RNGing. It just seems like they haven't really addressed any of the balancing issues yet. I can actually take out another DPS 1 v 1 usually about 75% of the time, but it does require a massive amount of maneuvering. I would like to say that Pyro has better damage output than Arsenal, but that would not be true. All in all, this is a very fun and exciting PvP spec that is underestimated. If you are a skilled player and liked playing things like a Warlock or Shadow Priest in WoW this is the spec for you. Thanks for the guide man, it's a huge help. But I do have one question. Should I go for Power over Crit?
