sithlordcip Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hello fellow bounty hunters, Last night I respeced my lvl 23 merc BH from Arsenal to Pyro. Now, is it just me or as pyro you build up heat so much faster than ars? I mean I feel like when I was ars I could use alot more attacks and rockets before max heat. Or is it just me?

Mrs_Murder Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I haven't tried ars (Is it any good for PVP?), but yes -- pyro generates a lot of heat. We mostly rely on getting a free railshot proc. Some also get the skills that vents heat when it procs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artrii Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I've found a rotation that doesn't build up much heat unless I'm throwing in AoE attacks. I start off with Incendiary Missile then rail shot, then Unload, then Rail Shot if it procs, then spam Power Shot until I get another Rail Shot proc (unless Unoad finishes cooldown before I get a proc). This only works on single targets obviously. Multiple targets, I just Fusion Missile, Death from Above and Sweeping blasters them all into smoldering ash. Very few mobs that are equal level can withstand that kind of punishment. Only Strong, Elite or Champion mobs won't go down after that barrage. I recently got my Thermal Detonator, I use that as a form of CC when I have a mob that is too far to be caught in one of my AoE attacks. This way I don't have to worry about my heat all that often and I can still rain fire down upon my enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlanCapillarian Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 The wrong move most Pyros make is they spam cast power shot to try and proc a rail shot. That isn't going to cut it in a long fight. You have to manage your heat. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwield Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I totally agree. Merc got heat problems :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
