CamoClad Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Greetings, In order to help with some population balance issues, I am taking a break from my level 50 Powertech BH and rolling up a Vanguard. Figured that since the two are mirrors of each other, the transition shouldn't be that bad. My BH is specked for Pyrotech and I am loving this DPS spec. I was wondering if anyone knew which Vanguard skill tree was the equivalent to the BH pyrotech skill tree? If nothing else can someone help me with a build that is similar to the Pyrotech build? Thanks again for any help and I hope to see a few of you out in the field. Edited January 26, 2012 by CamoClad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZuperTrooper Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Just make sure you use a lot of Mortal Volleys and Full Autos . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Pyrotech mirror is Assault for Vanguards, and the two (other than animation-fu) work much the same. The difference is glitches, the post above mine noting that Mortar Volley and Full Auto aren't quite performing to the same standards as the BH skills, MV having awkward timing on it's animation, and Full Auto can skip a tic of damage if you get hit entirely, even beyond pushback.

WinterWraith Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) The equivalent to Pyrotech is Assault Specialist, as far as I know they're completely identical. You can just copy your old spec, the equivalent skills are all in the same spots. Edited January 26, 2012 by WinterWraith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartaanI Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Just make sure you use a lot of Mortal Volleys and Full Autos . As much as we would all want you to see the delay in these abilities compared to BH. The tree you are looking for is the assault specialist. The tree will be set up exactly the same, as the classes are mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firequill Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 one thing i've noticed being overlooked alot when mentioning the disparity between mortar volley and death from above is how the damage is portioned out. death from above doles out six or seven rapid missiles of a moderate damage each. mortar volley deals three slower hits iirc. If you compare the time for the animations starts to the last tick of damage, ignoring the castbar, theyre pretty even. but no, the classes are not exact mirrors, they do the same damage, but it's dealt a bit differently in some ways. there are some issues with the trooper stuff, and the devs are trying to fix it.it should sort itself soonish.

I have a lvl 30 BH and death from above knocks down mobs in PvE pretty much instantly after u use it unlike mortor where u have to wait for the first round to go off and hit the area.
