My BH is 38lvl now and I have lvl'd entirely as a Pyrotech. I did try Arsenal at one point and wasn't comfortable with it, so I respecced back to PvP Pyro tree.
I do use Mako for almost everything. In PvE I am highly successful at any type of mob, and rarely die, in fact when most elites fall dead at my feet, a lot of times I am still just under full health, yes I apply my CD's, but even with CD's ramping down, I have no reservation about pulling another Elite.
Another fact, many mobs I solo becuase I sent Mako away to sell my grey items, I might not kill elites without a companion out, but trash mobs are doable with better than average gear. At 38lvl I am right around 9500 health or more with just natural buff, no stims.
If Arsenal is so much better, then my loss I guess, I wanted to do more than spam Tracer Missile.
What I do wonder about is the healing tree, I would like to give that a shot someday and see how well it does. Any info on Heal tree would be greatly appreciated. Wish there was a dual spec arrangement in the game, maybe at some point in the future.
Arsenal is only better in that it is generally faster for leveling Pyro would be 2nd, and Bodyguard would be 3rd.
If all you are concerned with is what spec to level in, arsenal is an easy choice.
Yes, it gets boring spamming tracer missile. But it is certainly effective.

It will be nicer once you get TD, but I would still just use arsenal for leveling and respec at 50 for what you would like to play.
If you're going to level through PVP, then by all means use pyro if you enjoy it.
-
Dude, we will speak again when patch 1.1 with its bracket for 50s hit the servers. It will be very soon. Then you return here and tell us how good you are against whole team of champion equipped 50s.
Just thought I would check in and say that last night was still great for me
I did try a few times to solo the whole team, but as before, it just didn't work! I just can't figure out why?!
I played Arsenal spec all last week, and while the silly numbers being thrown around were enjoyable, I still prefer Pyro and speced back. It's just more fluid to me.
So, in short, Pyro is quite viable even with level 50 brackets.
Thanks!

Does it bother anyone else that they make sure to point out they will be supporting the game for years to come - over and over and over and over?
It just rings false to me the more I hear it..

With the faction imbalance so obvious in PvP, is anyone else considering rolling a Republic character? I have two Rep alts that I used to test the waters before deciding I liked being a Pyro Merc best. I'm seriously considering spending some time on one of the alts now to help balance things out. However, that might seriously hurt my main since I have very limited time to play, so I'm considering slowly leveling the alt. I'm curious as to what all of you are thinking.
Please limit the discussion to the topic. Class imbalance is well covered in many other threads.
Yep. With all the QQ I can't wait to get home and start.

The reusable medpacks for Biochem are the most overpowered item ive seen in any MMO
Then you haven't played many.
This isn't a special case that hasn't happened before.
This isn't something unexpected by anyone over the age of 16.
Come back when you have something to say that didn't already get fixed.

I always get a nice chuckle out of people talking about eSports and "pro-gamers".
It's like being a professional competitive eater. Except less cool.

What's up now?
In all seriousness, it's hilarious to see the average Mercenary response to this. It usually involves back pedaling for 3 seconds before pushing basic attack.
Just thought I'd share.
This is more of something that concerns all average players. When you hit them with the unexpected, they panic momentarily, which just exacerbates the issue for them.
Kind of like when I do anything that doesn't involve bending over. It pretty much ****s the other guys day up.
-
And last note, since I have really not seen many pyro specced mercs on my server, most people do not know how to handle me. When a healer starts hearing the oh so known sound of tracers smacking him they instantly react and can counter you. When it comes to me shooting an incendiary missle (which doesnt hit too much to startle them), throwing a thermal detonator, and lining up power shot and rail shot they lose 50-75 percent of their hp before they even react to me. Its then usually just a couple more buttons and they are gone.
Yep! I have seen one other pyro merc at 50 on my server. It's really nice watching other players trying to counter tracer spam when that isn't what I'm doing.
Pyro is fine, roll arsenal if you don't like it.
-
1 simple change and BH heals could be fixed.
Except they aren't broken. BH heals are fine. Play with better people.

You reverse engineer greens -> blues -> Purples, like every craft. Enjoy the frustration as you piss mats away getting stats that are completely worthless.
Pro-Tip: Unless you want the reusable consumables, just buy the the implants off the AH. Even the best combos with a mod slot, which are pretty much BiS pve stuff you will never recover the amount of credits pissed away.
Pro-tip: You're wrong.

Dude, we will speak again when patch 1.1 with its bracket for 50s hit the servers. It will be very soon. Then you return here and tell us how good you are against whole team of champion equipped 50s.
You need to just switch to arsenal, pyro isn't for you.
I already face multiple 50s in champ gear in each wz I stay in. If I see its gonna be me facerolling a lower lvl bunch, I leave. That isn't fun to me most of the time.
In short, patch 1.1 isn't going to change anything for me.
-
Survivability Yeaaa...suuure. Any class and spec at 50 can rаpe me easily.
I fixed that for ya.
Also a rank 50 pyro merc, and I am killin' it. The group I run with has an arsenal merc, too, and we both do fine. You may not be quite as good as you want to think you are.

Anyone know how to get this helmet? It's red, I've been looking for it on GTN and no luck, but I see other orange helms with the same skin just not in red.

I got mine on Belsavis as a random drop.

Hello,
I'm a Commando Healer. My base ammo-free attack, (Hammer Shot) turns into a big laser beam of healing light when I use it. (Which is quite a headache in PvP.)
I'm curious, what is the visual when you use our equivalent ability?
Thanks,
Yeah, you guys sort of get screwed with that. When I see the Ghost Busters thing come on, You are my main target the rest of the match.
Much harder to notice our "healing bullets" unless you're looking for it.
-
you cannot kite and win, that is my point, you said "just kite them" like it solves the problem, it just delays your death.
I often "just stand still and get melee'd" and win quite a bit, depends on each of our health at that moment, whether i can electo dart, whether i can knock back.
running is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT the answer unless you have yeilded the field to them, and more often than not you dont get away because .... suprise... we have no mobility and if they are melee the DO have some kind of mobility
basically, your "solution" was not a solution, it was a /slashwrist move
better to stand your ground and do whatever damage you can than to run around like chicken little...
kiting for merc is a pve move
It is fun kiting arsenal mercs as a pyro merc

You can use sith warrior heavy armor, just change the mods.

Unfortunately, with the amount of bad-turned-decent-through-modding players that WoW added to the MMO scene - mods happening is most likely inevitable. Rail against it all you want, it won't change anything.
The masses want it easier, as they always do. If you don't want mods in-game, you're not part of the majority - whether you believe you are or not.
Things I have heard this week that make me sad:
"I can't dps as healer without a healing mod - It's too hard"
This guy just stands there when he doesn't need to heal - AND DOES NOTHING. Because he would have to use his mouse a few more times..SRSLY?
"I will be a good healer once I can use addons"
I have news for this guy - Good healers don't need help.
They don't make me sad because I feel I am superior to others, it makes me sad because of what WoW (whether intentionally or not) did to MMO gaming. And it is never going to go back to what it was. Ever. No company has the balls to try - and I can't fault them for it.
So, get what little challenge you can out of the game now because it will be dumbed down soon enough.

Anything bought or tradeable should not have any chance what so ever for failure. I can understand a min max thing depending on companion skill or affection. Like Minimum - 1 Corusca Gem and Maximum 6 Corusca Gem or whatever... But being able to fail something that I bought or traded for is wrong.
From this day forward, unless someone gives it to me for free I refuse to buy one of these again. EVER!!!!
That'll show 'em!

I tried both, and prefer pyro. I typically run in a group with an arsenal merc also, and we are back and forth for dmg/kills on a consistent basis. I tend to win voidstar, he tends to carry huttball - alderaan is a tossup.
Both specs are viable, both specs can burst. We're both fully t1, some t2 - I don't see this changing in t3.
Comes down to play-style, imo.

When you can't find the mission you want, you need to run a few you don't to make the, say metals missions, appear.
What is broken since the Slicing patch is the drop rate for random schematics. Now that is a total joke!!! One schematic in 250 plus missions! Fix this bug please. It is either a bug or stealth-nerf. Comments?
I got 7 in 50 missions yesterday. RNG doesn't like you, sir.
-
There is a joke here, but it isn't UWT.
If you don't like your mission selections (although I doubt affection is maxed on all of your companions, you might try using gifts..) then run a tier 1 3minute mission to refresh them all.
I made a killing with UWT before I dropped it.
PS - Stop running orange missions if you don't like and/or can't afford to fail often.
-
Until you posted this, I didn't know you could fail them. I've done a ton and never failed. I am sorry you had a run of awful luck
Then you return here and tell us how good you are against whole team of champion equipped 50s.
Grapple's ok but Pommel Strike isn't?

The best use is baiting someone to push you off the bridge in Voidstar, and once over the edge hitting grapple and pulling them with you. Watching that in action is priceless.
