    Bangers’ AP PT PvP Guide (3.0); Accidental post: additons occuring now

    in Vanguard / Powertech

    Posted

    When the utilities first went out, I jumped all the over the CC breaker on KO. Now...I think it's a worthwhile utility and I'm not gonna tell anyone they are wrong for taking it, but I find Shield Cannon and Efficient Suit to be much more useful in Solo Ranked play.

     

    I take Iron Will, Bracer Propellant, and Suppressive Tools in Tier 1. I take Accelerated Reel (on my server, I play against a boat load of sorcs and with their force speed at 20 sec CD, this helps me off-set that. Plus it's useful for when I actually have a healer on my team and I am peeling for them) and obviously I take Torque Boosters.

     

    I'm really anticipating that Overdrive gets nerfed a bit...that speed boost is nuts :eek: I find it better for regs though (i.e. Hutt Ball).

    AP/Tactics PvP stats?

    Ick, stop that.

    1) with that much crit your base damage is going to terrible, if you are stimmed you should be well past eleven hundred ranged bonus damage, with that much crit I would be surprised if you where anywhere near that.

     

    2) 94.4% accuracy is way to much, even in 2.x when we had passive accuracy talents it was not recommended to go that high with accuracy, nowadays is just shooting yourself in the foot. Remember that HiB is the only ranged attack a Tactics VG uses.

     

    Between your high low base damage and your lowered surge your crits are not going to be hitting anywhere as hard as they should be which is going to hurt your killing power.

     

    1) I guess it's just a preference, really. I only have 183 crit rating, which along with my Aim it tops me at 25.02% crit. My bonus damage stimmed is 1087. One thing that is different about PT/VG's in AP/Tactics spec is that virtually every ability we use gets a 30% surge bonus on a crit. 25% just feels right to me when I play.

     

    2) Tbh you are probably right about this one. I don't like change, and I wanted 94% just like how I had before. Removing one piece of accuracy drops me down to 93.33%, which is what I'll probably do.

    So far, I've taken enough to get 25.02% ranged crit rating, and I have three pieces with accuracy on them (2 Accuracy/Power Implants and one accuracy/crit enhancement). I stack the rest into power/surge (I have 74.6something% surge atm.

     

    Those three things of accuracy put m at 94.4somethingish% accuracy. My goal was to hit 94%, so I had as much as I did back before 3.0.

     

    I take zero alacrity. It's been working VERY well so far for me with this set up.

    From what I understand the shoulder cannons are able to be fired even faster than what is listed in the tool tip. .5 secs someone said. So, the burst is even faster than it should be with the shoulder cannons. The extra large crits only exacerbate the problem.

     

    Hmm...the extra large crits on Shoulder Cannon? It doesn't get a 30% surge bonus from the tree. Most crits I get are like, 3k. Granted, 3k damage off the GCD is free damage, not complaining...I haven't timed the internal CD of SC. I the surge bonus on Energy Burst might need to go...or it's damage reduced. Either one of those happens though, we need a boost to our DC's.

    Guys.

     

    Lets be real here.

     

    Only real "change" to the PT burst class was the addition of Energy Burst. As we all have pointed out, Pyro before 3.0 = AP in 3.0. What was changed? Energy Burst. It crits for 14k and is given an autocrit every one minute (so basically for-sure in our opener).

     

    If we REALLY want to tone down the burst, it isn't Shoulder Cannon. It's Energy Burst. And if they tone that down, Kolto Overload + 30% DR better become a freaking baseline for PT's.

    PT/VG's are fine. Yes, their burst is killer...however, there's a reason we are typically focused first: we are squish.

     

    Seriously. PT/VG are the 3rd easiest kill right now. I'd say Mercs/Mando's are number 1, and Operatives/Scoundrels are #2.

    And that whole super-queue thing is so ridiculous that I won't even bother commenting it.

     

    Super-queue implies that both groups of four are syncing their queues. There have been countless times where <Guerrilla> has had two four man groups in regs and there have been times where we end up on the same team. It was not intentional, it just happens. I do not think <The Core> or <Maven> is guilty of syncing queues. If they so happen to be on the same team in the same match, get over it. It's a game, move on with your life.

    I'd normally respond to this by pointing out how amazing PT's are right now in PVP and that adding Jet Charge to our tool base would drive half this game to vacate over night...but I don't think the devs are too stupid to actually give it to us so meh carry on gentlemen.

    I'm saying if someone challenged me to a duel somewhere... I'm gonna say "everything goes but grenades." Agree and duel or decline.

     

    I mean if they agree to that then that's cool and what-not. Don't know why you're so against the use of grenades. They break on damage and it's only 4 seconds. Plus you actually have to aim it so idk.

    It's another form of cc in a game with already too much cc. It basically says "I cannot beat you unless you're standing there completely helpless."

     

    Just play me. Beat me.

     

    soooo...

     

    ...don't use all the tools at your disposal?

    that song is dope

     

    idk really know what else happened cause I minimized the video and let the music play.

    Problems With Exploits in PvP

    in The Ebon Hawk

    its obvious they came to troll imo.

    But tbh I dont think they "came" they are just alts of other goons who's been d'bags since 4ever.

     

    The community for pvp in this server is minimal, funny how 4-6 ppl drop of the grid for abit, then a few days/weeks suddenly some new guild pops up with a silly/funny name and decimate the wz's.

     

    I just wish BW/EA would start cracking down on ppl who exploits, this could encourage random ppl to que up for wz.

    We desperately need a solo-non-ranked wz to revitalize the wz to get fresh blood.

    (my opinion and alot dont agree, 99% of the ones who dont want solo-non-ranked is the ppl who thrive on trashing random pugs 24/7)

     

    I'm not trying to fight their battle, but they had previous ranked records on their other server. Pretty sure they're not the 4-6 people that you think they are.

    And a shout right back for being coordinated enough to put that much burst on me all at once. If my healer hadn't showed up when he did (after my last CD was burned and you guys had me nearly in execute range), I was probably toast.
