MAlqui Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 What's a good specc to lvl with? As far as I know, Pyro doesn't shine until I can reset Railshot with my other moves. I love the sound of retractable blade, personally. But I don't know. What's a decent lvling specc? I won't be solo a lot. I'll be lvling with a friend.

NoBarta Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I went with pyro initially. Because you have Mako (who heals you), you can afford to be the DPSer... and pyro becomes quite a bit of fun even by the late teens. My long term plan is probably a Shield tech/pyro hybrid build. My initial goal with pyro was building up to the railshot boosting talent on the 3rd pyro tier (I forget what it is called). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonhoo Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 im lvling as a ShieldTech(tank). Its amazing! You easly get groups for flashpoints/heroic quests AND you can easly tank 2-3 strong with Mako healing you. The dmg isnt that great but it isnt THAT bad either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeG Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I agree with the Shieldtech comments. The kill speed isn't the fastest but I have a relatively easy time with Strongs and Elites with Mako healing. Currently Level 47 and on the home stretch to 50.

MAlqui Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thing is, I'll have a friend, or maybe two with me at all times. On top of that, when I do Flashpoints we'll have a Juggernaut tanking anyways for us, a friend of mine again. So soloing isn't the problem. Thinking of DPS mainly.

Apom Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I leveled as a powertech with the shield tree to 50 in 128 hours played time. There is nothing wrong with us. I throughly enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orecron Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Can you show me a skill calc for ur spec up to 50 for leveling? i have been going shield myself but i feel like i have misplaced my skillpoints or maybe something i don't know. I see a lot of "Well i can tank Hard mobs no prob and leave with almost full HP" and my *** barely survives a gold mob without a medpack and thats with Mako healing. What rotation do you normally use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtybomb Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I leveled as AP and used Gault as soon as I got him until 42. Fun spec. I switched to ST with Mako to finish out my leveling and get in to a tank mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apom Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Not at home atm but im 31/4/5 i believe. As for rotation? Umm.. i just pace myself and practice not over heating. On large mobs I start off with death from above anytime its available..then pick the center mob and shoot it with dart for some more ae. Next target will usually be a rocket punch, next targe will be flame thrower.. Tanking I mostly go in with jet charge then a rocket punch followed by a taunt then whatever i feel like doing. We dont have a set rotation we need to follow. Control and manage your heat.. use your 2 taunts wisely, use your heat dump wisely..and you're good to go. If anything..gear is the most important thing we haev to worry about. Always try to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brolaf Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Go shield tech, and when you get torian use him over mako. There are some fights that will be easier with mako, but for the vast majority of the ane, you will get through it much faster with torians dps.

blobafat Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 As shield (currently 39) I have little trouble tearing through weak to fairly strong mobs.Elite mobs just take longer to kill, I don't really die as long as I continue to manage. Open up with death from above, jet charge a target, rocket punch, flame sweep, (rocket punch if off CD) and from here on out its a priority system keeping my 12s debuff up and trying to keep everything in melee range if possible.

The jet charge part is creating problems for me and Mako. She tends to bug out and want to stay there and shoot instead of heal. I think I'm getting out of range and that's why she does it but damn annoying. Oh and for the love of God MAKO, when I tell you to follow, RUN don't walk!!!!

Yea, there are some definite problems with companions. If she out ranges herself, switch her to passive so she walks to your side then back to aggressive so she continues her job....if she knows whats good for her.
