Chrismilk Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Level 10 powertech here and I'm really enjoying the class. But I don't like tanking. Will I be forced to tank in groups? All I want to do is Deal damage. Problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I want to do is Deal damage. Problem? Not at all. I, like you went DPS. 'Cept I'm a trooper vanguard. I recommend your course of action! Show those morons that not all powertechs/vanguards are tanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharagada Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 And deal damage you shall. You may have to ask for guard now and then though, threat can be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayuri-chan Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 sadly operations/ HM's are hard for melee's and you will have an easier time as a range dps class. But Im still the top Dps on my guild i which we are 5/5 NM EV and 5/5 NM karagga although only for 8 mans T_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharagada Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 How do you know your doing top dps in operations? I don't think I'm holding my group back, but without a parse how do you know what your dps is compared to others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'm holding my group back, but without a parse how do you know what your dps is compared to others? theres a DPS check at EV. the 4th boss. usually the first one to kill the mob would have a higher DPS than the rest. this only applies on tank like targets with 100k+ hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericdjobs Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I had to switch to DPS because raids only need two tanks... Holy crap, I had no idea I'm almost to the point where I firmly believe Pyrotech Powertechs do the absolute most PvE DPS in the game... The council fight in ev? My mob dies a good 4-5 seconds behind our sniper.. and he does a *********** lot of DPS. Honestly, it's so good that I think it's almost broken. A good majority of our attacks aren't mitigated by armor (elemental, dots) on top of that, we get 90% armor pen. to a VERY HIGH damage attack that procs constantly for FREE. Add that armor pen on top of jug/merc armor debuff and you're practically railshotting a 0 armor target.. Seriously, we do a metric ****load of DPS. Honestly, the class as DPS reminds me a *LOT* of Fury Warriors from WoW.. constantly getting aggro with no threat dump and dying. With guard, you can seriously **** some **** up ( I *still* get aggro in guard if I go all out with trinkets/adrenals/fuel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
