onethreeone Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hello all- I have an SI main that is pretty easy to PVP with, and decided to come over to PT a) for a melee-ish fighter, b) because not many Empire players go tank-y, and c) bounty hunters are cool. With that being said, I'm only interested in running class quests, space combat, and PVP. I will mainly be doing PVP, starting at level 14 with sprint. I've been researching a lot of the PVP builds, but I was looking for advice on what works well in the very low levels (sub-30). Should I: start up the Pyro tree for a 4/6/31 spec, start up the ST tree for a 25/14/2 Iron Fist build, or go for the popular Carolina Parakeet, and if so which side first? Essentially, the question becomes which tree gives you the most bang for the buck with only 1 to 20 talent points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badalchemist Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think Pyro has an earlier payoff than the other trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedistreen Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hybrid Specs don't really pay off till 40-50. Reason being that if you put points into one tree, then a few other points into another tree, at level 20 there's a good chance you'll be missing out on a trees 'signature' ability, i.e Retractable blade for AP and incendiary missile for pyro. It's even worse for BHs/Troopers, since HIB/Railshot does the most up front damage of your abilities at lower levels and that level 20 ability is what opens up the use of railshot without having to rely on dumb luck. That said, the full pyro tree is probably your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onethreeone Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 So, hit level 15 and did some PVP - pretty consistently hit around 175k damage and 10-30k protection in Huttball, depending on how well people played as a team (solo queue). Pretty ridiculous, considering I'm in questing gear and don't have the majority of my skills yet. Oh, and I'm in the defensive stance most of the time so that I can use guard, so most of my talent points are wasted with not using the damage stance.

AetherMcLoud Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'd go Shieldtech until you have enough talent points to respec and get the Railshot reseting talent in Pyrotech. Without that Pyro is rather lackluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
