Pyrotech help

[Kelan]

Recently switched from arsenal to pyrotech merc because i got tired of not being mobile and relying too much on tracer missle procs.

 

Anyways, loving the mobility and most of all the elemental damage. I was worried my damage would drop significantly but it hasnt dropped at all. Not too crazy about thermal detonator not dealing AoE damage but sharing a CD with explosive dart, but thats for another thread.

 

Coming from a PvP standpoint, what are some good rotations? Right now my biggest issue is heat management but its a new spec for me so i figure i'll improve on that in time.

 

Looking for some experienced advice on PvP rotations and strategies for pyrotech merc.

 

Thanks for any help.

glad to see I am not only one mercenary pyrotech in whole game ))

 

I didn't try any other class, my finding so far:

 

Huge burst!!! even in PVP it is quite usable

Looooooooong DoT, you will be "The anticapture master"

 

Heat is the problem, but it can be managed quite well.

What works for me:

 

A) use combustible cylinder

B) start wiht incendiarry missile and add thermal detonator, or vice versa but he must be in fire.

C) 1st railshot

D) "that skill I forgot name" allowing fire powershot (and some others) instantly. you have 30% chance to finish railshot cooldown and next railshot free of heat

E) 2nd railshot if you were lucky

F) unload, you have 60% chance to finish cooldown and nex railshot free.

G) 3rd railshot, this one should be free in 95% of cases.

H) powershot, normal one, that skill will not be cooldowned at this moment, same for unload.

 

and so on...

 

Focus on targets with less than 30% hp, with burnout skill all DoT abilites have 30% more elemental (fire) effect, in a short, your role is to finish them.

 

 

maybe we should do some special Mercenary / Pyrotech thread to share our knowledge
