eyaku Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I, like alot of people, believe that Tactics tree needs help. I believe the best way to fix the tree would be to give it a small increase in damage, a small ammount of self healing, and a unique debuff that could be very helpful in pvp. I suggest: Change gut to tick every 1.5 seconds *for half the damage that it currently tics. Increase the base damage done by the bleed by 30% Gut now has a 7.5(not sure exactly about this number) second cooldown Switch position of kolto recharge and combat tactics Kolto recharge now heals you for* 1% max health if you critically hit Serrated blades now increases critical chance of gut by 10/20/30% and has gut apply a debuff to the target increasing the targets casting time by 5/10/15% This would also build alot more synergy in the spec. And wouldn't buff the survivability of tactics to much (for example if someone has 20% crit, using gut and 9 other abilities over a 15 second period, you would crit on average 7-8 times (depending on combat tactics proc) for 7-8% of your health over 15 seconds). The cast time debuff would also help the spec have a real reason to be brought to the upcoming rates warzones without being to Powerful. The cooldown on gut also limits the potential self-healing that would be caused spamming gut on multiple targets. These buffs still may be slightly too much (or even to little but I highly doubt that) but I'm not sure. What does everyone think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmasterub Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 See the other tactics thread going on. IMO though there are other things I think would work better. (i like no cd gut tbh) Option 1: make stockstrike the rough equivalent of HiB in the assault tree. Battering Ram resets SS cd on proc. Serrated blades gives SS 50% armor pen on any target afflicted with gut. Option 2: more significant changes to the tree/HEC. Potential changes include. (not all would be needed, just ideas) -HEC reduces the CD of all abilities by 1 sec -talents to convert more abilities to int/ele damage -talents giving HiB and SS a chance to apply internal damage dots in addition to their normal damage -talents giving SS a chance to apply guts remaining bleed damage immediately (combat tactics?), this has a lot of additional options including gut autocrit, reduced am,o cost, etc. -talents increasing AE damage on ER and reducing ammo cost (tie to HEC or gut?) -replace ES with ER on pulse generator -HTL: increase ms or make it stack with BFT. Make HTL AoE for party. -Kolto: too many options to list but make it better. -above options Anyway thats my opinion and a lot of the potential ideas I've had. I doubt any of it will ever change but we can dream right I also think tactics would benefit greatly from storm being a baseline ability and harpoon going to shield spec however ik know there are mixed opinions on this.

I personally don't feel tactics needs buffs to its damage that are as large as ou suggest. I also don't think switching storm and harpoon is the way to go. I deffinately prefer harpoon in most situations. I'm also not sure about focusing changes into HEC. I feel that HEC is strong enough as is although the cd reduction idea does sound interesting.
