Well said, I don't use flamethrower much because in a group of enemies they will always attack me lol

I have Shift + Mouse scroll up / down as keybindings, it works well for me.

I like the fact its proc dependent, so you always pay attention to your abilities - it just makes you an overall better player. Yeah, using Crit/Surge Relic before DFA (Death From Above), leads to MASSIVE damage in AOE or even single target situations. I mean people will say, power relics are better but I find them both to average out around the same dps, I mean if every number crits thats some substantial dps. Also grappling people into the fire/gas traps is hilarious, just stun them with electro dart as they reach the origin of the trap. I know how you feel man! Powertech gives you a great vibe when you dominate, and I'm not sure on your level but you seem to be educated if you know the valor ranks. I'd say 30+ after you get shoulder ram, things get interesting, you are like the Juggernaut from the X-men.

Yes, Pyrotech is a DPS tree and Thermal Detonator combined with rail shot is the MOST burst damage in the game. If not best, equally as good as the best burst class. So, I don't think there are ANY viable hybrid specs with Pyro because TD is just so good, you really will love taking people to 55% hp in 2-3 abilities. I read somewhere that the developers didn't indeed for people to branch into two trees. I mean Powertech's, are amazing, Grapple, Rocket Punch that refreshes your Rail Shot, like a 50% chance with talents. Incendiary Missile hits decent when it crits with talents, and it adds a DoT, along with your CGC DoT you get the satisfaction of watching your opponent's literally burn to death. I can confidently say Powertech's are a dangerous class to 1v1, I mean they're practically tanks in any spec, I haven't tried Shieldtech but if I did I presume I'd never die - although I'll probably stay Pyrotech because you'll average 100-200k more DMG a warzone if you know your rotation you won't need any more mitigation because you'll destroy them twice in a row before they can finish you. I have played since December 21st, a day after release, my friend Axello achieved realm first Sith Assassin, so I always get good tips on a wide spread amount of information about the game from a level capped perspective. I'm glad I played so casual, I'm giving them time to adjust things, and make my overall game play experience a lot better. I am sad I missed a few "openings" to get a better start like the Slicing money train, I'm 400 Slicing, Scavenging, and Cybertech with only 4 companions, I achieved 400 Slicing with only two companions, I am also level 30 valor rank. They also nerfed the Biochem stimpack recently, which was a huge addition to any class that used it up until this point. (I enjoyed selling the 340 Biochem missions for 50k tho). Also with everyone going a certain crew skill it leaves a better economy and overall "need" in the games market for other skills. I really took in this game, on my outdated computer, I didn't need to run this game on max to have fun and actually commit to a "functional" MMO. I can't wait for the big patch in March, seeing a new warzone, and hopefully more of my guild will be active and raid (Many people hate the PVP grind, I enjoy it as the apex predator Chronicle 2012 Move Reference, I really feel like I belong in top 3 "viable" classes. Seeing my class is capable of almost 700k DMG is amazing, I've seen 500k and 600k in warzones, but 700k is the most I've seen, that's crazy, my friend is happy to get the 300k medal lol. Now I haven't reached level 50 yet, and I'm sure some of these classes like Marauder are going to become trouble with gear, as they are indeed, a gear dependent class like the Warrior from WoW. Also Thermal Detonator (Pyrotechs last talent) combined with Cybertechs Reusable Gadget + Rail Shot that ignores 30% armor (with talents) and is a instant cast, and as I said before has a 50% chance to refresh itself when Rocket Punch is used, Those 3 abilities and consumable leads to a **** ton of burst, that only gets better. Sorry I get off subject a lot, and I'm not sure this this thread even had a purpose other than the fun of trying to describe my little strategies and the fact that some people don't just come on forums to complain, now I'm heading to the "suggestions" forum, to add the idea of animal mounts, like lizards and ****. Ask any questions btw, I see myself as a decent player, I'll be streaming some gameplay on Twitchtv soon, probably around level 49, highest in the first warzone bracket, literally walking over people.

Pyro, all level 40 PVP gear, I'm so glad I decided Powertech.
