jitsuo Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Which is better? Stealth Scan CD reduction seems like a minimal gain and 2% damage doesn't seem like much at all. Venting 8 heat per stun/incapacitate is a bit situational but, since 2/8/31 is a heat hog spec, it seems to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exphryl Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I use Infrared. It also increases Stealth Detection which has saved my life lots of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TirjacShiki Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I actually use both, also note that I do not use rapid venting. I tried switching my 2 from gyroscopic to rapid venting and OMG I was overheating like a mad man!!! So I switched back. Aslo the stealth scan is actually really useful in pvp. The gyroscopic is personal preference I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how often you get slowed stopped stunned and everything else in PvP it seems to leave the realm of situational and tends to firmly land in the category of damn near invaluable.

Rocco_ Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 defense = evasion...not damage reduction that 2% is not affected by diminishing returns just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Beastwood Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Gyroscopic doesnt do anything when you are slowed only stunned, mezz, roots or knocked down. Also when one of those things happen you aren't gonna to be attack either since you can't so you really automatically lose heat. Except for the case of being rooted. You always get jumped on by jedis and stuff so there it does have a nice benefit. But I rather have stealth detection which really messes up and scondrels and assassins trying to butt jump someone. Energy Rebounder is also great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just there to dot the i of my point really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury_Rose Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Infrared Sensors all the way. Stealth Scan should be used constantly in-between fights or to catch slip-aways and the passive stealth detection is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umpire Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 the +2 stealth detection (whatever that means) is amazing and noticeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheronFett Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 the +2 stealth detection (whatever that means) is amazing and noticeable This ^ Since you're talking about PvP, the only real game changer (in my opinion) is increased ability to detect stealthers.

glenbruton Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 2% damage reduction across all damage types. Hells yeh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frmorrison Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 2% damage reduction across all damage types. Hells yeh! 2% versus melee and ranged only that doesn't include force and tech attacks. It is still a decent talent, so it is more 1% less damage. The stealth detection is very valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jitsuo Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Ended up taking Degauss, I usually have my shield off CD and the root free-ing have helped a lot against Marauders/Sentinels and Sorcerer's/Sages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
