Maxinamum Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hey guys, I just turned my BH into a Powertech because I want to take on the tanking role late game. I wanted to know what build would be best for me to level as, to make it quick and fun. I've heard people say all three are good but I'd like to know which one should I choose. Thank you =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griezz Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Based on my own (admittedly limited) experience, I've had a great time leveling my Powertech Shield Specialist (aka my tank) while using Mako with her Healer mode active. I don't die too often, and I've been able (through luck) been able to solo some of the Champions I've run across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravioli Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I used a pyrotech spec to level, but there were many times i wished i went shieldtech. As pure dps with no self heal i found Mako's healing inadequate in some fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziko Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) I have always believed that the "best" is the one you have the most fun playing... With that being said, I myself went from 10 to 50 using shieldtech with Mako running with me the whole way. Only died a very few times, I think during those 40 levels I died less then 10 times. My shieldtech build 31/8/2 Shieldtech is great if you dont like dieing, it might take you longer to knock down those enemies but you will be the last one standing. Of course making sure you have good gear on you and Mako makes a big difference too. So in my personal opinion, I would say that shieldtech was my best choice for PvE leveling Great post here that helped me a ton!

ReaperSW Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'm leveling as a pyrotech and have had zero issue so far, although I'm generally not going solo. I'm finding the damage output of the pyro very good and very fun to play overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
