My only gripe are the arena weeklies, and since you need 25 of them to get the last 6 points of 20 it's gonna be really grindy, if instead the final chievo gave 1-2 tokens instead of 5 and the 25 wz/arena weeklie/medals gave 2 each if would be better imho, now you are forced to grind both WZ and Arenas if you want to buy a 20 token reward at the end of the season.

The bolster not working can be easily seen on HP, Im with mates in full 332, even with 300 augments you're not getting getting your HP above 410k, meanwhile I've seen some 340 geared boys running around at 316-320k hp as full dps with mastery stim

Yes this sucks, I am not queueing anymore if I could lose my progress again

Same for me

Same for me

It is fine on repside, only about 1-2 true Regstar PvP guilds but that is really all you need

So unforunately they fixed the most broken DCD in the game (for those who dont know you were able to click off your stacks to get insta healed and the stacks would be building up again from 0-5 so as long as you were being attacked while under your Tactical Armor/Energy Yiled you were immortal). The fix however is very meh because now you have to wait 15 seconds before you get the heal, this is specially annoying when youre playing with the Supercommando package since you are forced to pop it while at high health otherwise you are forced to use your other DCDs to survive the 15 secs. This prevents you from fully utilizing the absorb shield from Supercommando, because you will rarely be targetted and bursted on if there is another target nearby with lower health. I would prefer if you could still click it off, but you would get no further buildup of the stacks or to make it activate by itself automatically if your health drops below lets say 20%. That would make you use the cooldowns smarter at low health than just pressing it off cooldown 24/7 like it is now.

On my tank I went from 400K HP to 365k HP so I was like ok, what is the point of running full mitigation then (since endurance is the best tanking stat in pvp) and switched to skank gear with crit and alac, I join WZ, check my stats and my crit is 800 lower and my alac is 400 lower, therefore missing the threshold for 1.4 GCD. I rage quitted and uninstalled on the spot

Im playing with Shock Trooper, which gives you 10% damage increase on Heat Blast (cannot occur more than once in 30 seconds), with 15 seconds cooldown on Heat Blast you have 50% uptime on this so its alright, it also gives you alacrity so with some alacrity augments you might be able to reach decent alacrity here to have 1.4s GCDs. For PvP I will try to get full dps on 326 for skank tanking since the cleave should be rather strong as usual and with Infused Kolto Packs/Energy Yield you are almost impossible to kill.

For PVP it is 316-318 Green, 320-322 Green, 324-326 Purple

I tried playing with the channeled flamethrower a bit in PvP and quickly went back to the instant Firestorm, its just so mucheasier to get multiple people with it when its instant than having to cast it and needing everyone to stay in it for the whole duration, especially with melee classes like marauders or other PTs zipping about 24/7.

I dont know who in their right mind would buy 316 from the vendor, you open the chests from weeklies and upgrade what you get. Sure if you only PvP on one toon and only PvP it can take a while, but if you combine it with lets say flashpoints you will be geared in no time. I did MM Flashpoints and PvP Weeklies on 2 characters and have some 326,324 and 322 pieces, next week I can easily get to all purple 326 from PvP. What you can do is save your weekly pvp chests and get your item rating up with conquest or flashpoint gear, then when youre up there in the 324s and 326s you can pop the chest and get 324 or 326 piece purple pvp gear directly which only needs 1 upgrade or no upgrade at all.

Despite many specs clearly being downgraded in 7.0 the Vang/PT tank got a major upgrade in basically being immortal while your Infused Kolto Packs/Energy Yield is up and this improved the self sustain tremendously, Supercommando implant makes it even better and grapple for allies is super useful, especially in PvP. Really a major improvement compared to 6.0 and props to BioWare on this !

Yo, ive been struggling for consistency in TR, because I play wiht PUGs all the time and finding even a decent dps is hard, therefore I welcome anyone who can pull above 3k dps in a match and a decent healer as well. Contact me here or ingame on my PT Sengø or Vanguard Sengô

what u tellin nibba, PT dps is straight fire https://i.imgur.com/7dniFXf.jpg

run something like slow on mag blast, increase range to 12, cd reduce on hydros and cc break, then if u want some additional vent heat go for gyro jets or reflective armor. Second tier pyro shield, third longer hydros and fourth speed on hydros. Something like efficient slow might be good for trolling around so be my guest, longer stuns arent bad either. For rotation just use flame sweep to proc rail shot, while running to the guy put thermal detontator on him, then rail shot and energy burst, apply dot, rocket punch, rail shot(while spamming rocket launcher) and then just try to get rail shot procc every 4th CD. Its sometimes eazy to get a lot of heat so u are forced to spam auto attack every now and then.

objectives in 2k17, lul. just farm numbers mate

They should give all Pt specs a good DCD and one more for tankerino

u know why they focus PT, because u have 2 dcds which both are useless against 2+ mercs/snipers

They could make it insta and make it actually good, for example the translocated guy is immune to all dmg for x amount of time, too bad most of the times I use it in huttball and boys continue moving forward and fall of the edge I was standing on...

As the tile says, contatct me here or ingame Sengø(Impside)

How do you guys play your jug tank, from PT im used to aoe spam. Is it the same on jugg, meaning u prefer to spam sweeping slash over ravage and force scream when fightning multiple people. keeping vicous throw, smash, riposte and crushin blow on CD?

U would think that by making it more short ranged than it used to be, they will bring some of the DCDs on par with other melee classes, but ofc u are stucked with shield and kolto and nerfs to things such as cannon heal.

Really nicelly structured guide, I just have some questions regarding gearing as I gear my tank differently for yolos. How much bolstered health are u gettting with full fortitude? I run only 4x fortitude and feels like my dmg is ok, but sacrificing even more crit would be crucial. I also run a quite high alacrity which I like a lot for a tank spec so 4 of my enhancements are alac.

i did that, but I rather do forum post(rant) too because I'm afraid those legends are capable of sweeping it under the carpet.
