If you're going the "Pyro" route I'd dump the gear you have and go with the 4pc Eliminator set; if you already have the "Combat" chest I would keep that for an upgrade because the Obroan has the maxed power/surge enhancement. That way you don't have to throw away coms on that piece. Even with the "Conqueror" 4pc you can still be competitive, and you'll get better as you improve on your gear. On my VG/PT I have the maxed advanced adept 28x agile mods so start out with the "conqueror" version till you have enough commendations for an upgrade. Also, have every piece augmented with the aim/end & use expertise crystals. That should cover your gear problem. As for your rotation, I think it depends on the situation. For a broad p.o.v. I approach with either explosive dart or rapid shots (if my heat was up from another battle) then when in 10m thermal/inc. round/flame burst...back away with rail shot. If they're chasing me I'll kite them a bit with either rapid shot or flame burst then surprise him/or by coming in with rocket punch (if other melee are focusing, I'd come in with carbonize). Again It will depend on the situation and I'm sure someone will post a better opener than I proposed. Pretty much "rinse and repeat" from there. Plus taunt, taunt, and more taunt...it helps your team a lot... "Koozie's" post offers a bunch of info so like the post above me, I would check that out. Soon YOU WILL BE BETTER THAN YOUR BROTHER!!! Build: 4/6/36 "Standard" Pyro build. Hope this helps.....
