epitage Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Since the abilities of a dps powertech are largely unknown, here is an example of damage from a Powertech that is mid-level geared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korevas Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) It seems you picked fights with both high explosive fuel (15s of +25% crit on 2 min cd) and where you got an above average proc rate of railshots.While this is not that far off, it is not the average damage a pyro will dish out over a prolonged time either; those kind of videos are what got operatives crippled, so stop nerf-herding and enjoy your still working class. Nothing to see here, move along please. Edited February 13, 2012 by Korevas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epitage Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Explosive Fuel is turned on for each fight as it is only a 1min 45 sec cd with the 2-piece bonus. ...plus notice that when Explosive Fuel runs out, it is still decent damage. I'm just trying to show that a class primarily used for tanking is viable for dps. Edited February 13, 2012 by epitage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazule Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 PT is defnitely viable dps, what do they bring to raid for the group? I know arsenal is stacking a 20% armor debuff for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to say I'm surprised if anyone still thinks that a powertech can't fill the DPS role, but there are still people out there who think if your not dual wielding your a tank.

I know arsenal is stacking a 20% armor debuff for example If played rigtht *amazing* damage and burst, which, on some boss fights quick burst damage here and there is VERY helpful. (i.e Mind Traps, Elites on Pylons, G4 in KP, burning stun droids on second boss in KP). Most Pyros I run in to though couldn't manage heat if they had an unlimited amount......
