Mondavian Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'm currently leveling my Merc in the arsenal tree. Just curious, which cylinder will provide the best dps for leveling my toon? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfoldingsquid Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Use Combustible Gas until you get Tracer Missle, around lvl 20, then switch to High Velocity. The only reason you want Combustible is the fire will let you use Rail Shot, but once you get Tracer Missle that will put a heat signature on your target for Rail Shot.

DarkenDragon Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 each cylinder is based for each talent tree you go down. each talent tree will provide a boost to each cylinder and thats how you determine which one you use obviously the combat support cylinder is for healing since it allows your rapid shots to heal and you'll get talents that will interact with it such as one allowing your rapid scans to add to the cylinder's charge and theres others that are effected the high velocity cylinder will provide reduced heat to rail shot, and also vent 8 heat when using your primary abilities for that tree when they crit. this is for the arsenal tree combustable gas cylinder is the pyrotech's cylinder of choice due to the fact that the tree heavily relies on the targets to be on fire and this will do the trick, along with many of the talents will give benifits to this cylinder you can think of the cylinders as the different stances to the bounty hunter as to which role they'll be playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, you want your targets to catch on fire from Combustible Gas until you get Tracer Missle, at early levels High Velocity will do nothing for you and without fire procs from Combustible Gas you may as well take Rail Shot off your toolbar. Sure Rail Shot isn't great, but it's a decent instant cast ability and the OP was asking for best dps Edited January 28, 2012 by Unfoldingsquid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuKazuha Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 You get TM by level 20. I don't remember anthing that did not die within an few seconds without Combustible Gas... Really I don't maybe it might have gotten me a Minute or so overall... Besides, Mako frequently uses a DoT that allows you to Railshot. Seriously, until you get to twenty, it's pretty much the same. After that, its about the Tree you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
