I personally like the Advanced Prototype tree myself. I love the heat management, i love hydraulic overrides every 30 sec in pvp it really is amazing.
Lets be honest now lol. In pvp terms the tree seriously lacks compared to pyrotech. The dps that pyrotech puts out is absolutely insane coupled with the defensive cooldowns it has makes pyrotech a more logical choice for pvp dps. Heck even shield tech provides more survivability and way more utility compared to Advanced Prototype.
Now im not asking for a complete overhaul to Advanced prototype i just feel it needs one small tweak to make the tree shine. That tweak is a SNARE. If retractable blade applied a 50% movement reduction it would really put some synergy to the tree. With the 15% movement speed buff and the 30% speed boost with hydraulic overrides the snare would make them stand out even more. It would also help prototype flamethrower so much if your opponent was snared and couldnt just simply walk out of it which would also raise your overall damage output because you would actually land it more and use it more without having to rely on your stun.
