AnAcuteAngle Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Combat Tech with a 23/0/18 Or Eliminator with a 21/2/18 Which one do you guys prefer? Typically, I like the extra points in Flame Surge rather than Puncture but thats just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guurzak Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 To me, the point of the 2x/_/18 build is to rail as hard and often as possible, so the 2 in AP gets a little lean. But I don't like giving up the 2-piece set bonus- Eliminator's improves a merc-only skill. Also, if dual-spec comes in, Combat Tech is still awesome for a full-shield spec. I suspect the actual results are close enough overall that it won't matter a whole lot either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAcuteAngle Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Meh. I feel like the 23 build is more versatile and has more potential but less burst damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekai Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I run Eliminator. I know we get nothing from the 2 set, but the 4 set is so yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainsawsamurai Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) I run Eliminator. I know we get nothing from the 2 set, but the 4 set is so yummy. That's what I was thinking too. I can't get any damn gear from the stupid bags so I haven't actually bought anything yet, but Eliminator is what I've got my eye on. The build works with either DPS or Tank gear and is pretty versatile either way. Someone was counting on getting Eliminator gear and then the Supercommando gear and swapping mods. Dude either has 100x better luck than I do or is in for a pretty big let down. Edited January 5, 2012 by chainsawsamurai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAcuteAngle Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 I don't know, I just see a 45% RP Crit, 30% FS Crit, and 20% longer carbonite > 40% + 15% on RS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trungalung Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Eliminator allows much more burst than Combat Tech because of the sheer boost to Rail Shot's crit. For me, 55% crit to RP or 70% crit it's still the same. Rail Shot is more available and can be used at range. Remember Flame Shield requires you get hit to refresh RP while PPA doesn't.

AnAcuteAngle Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Eliminator does look a ton better >.< I don't know what the devs were thinking with a lot of this pvp gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanosukex Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I have a question on the second build( I like The Rocketeer more than eliminator ) anyway for leveling what do you guys suggest doing? I mostly am solo pveing it up for now but can't decide what best way to distribute points while leveling.. was thinking just going pyro till I had enough for 21 in shield tech and respec..

Leveling is an entirely different beast. I don't recommend anyone try ST/Pyro until they're 48. The build relies on talents deep in both trees to reach maximum effectiveness and it isn't even close without nearly a full build. Pyro levels great. ST does awesome from about 25 until about 40. Either will be good enough to get you to 48ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agroovesak Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm going eliminator but I think I should have gone combat tech because it also works for AP where eliminator is not really good with that spec. Not many like AP though. Prolly just gonna make my BM set combat tech and have both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rykke Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Do you think the burst on the Eliminator set is that worth it? I'm on the fence right now and bit put off about that option because one of your set bonuses do nothing for you. I might end up with Combat Tech as the reduce CD on our CCbreak ability and duration increase on carbonize makes it pretty appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
