Agooz Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Ok maybe alot of you already knew this but for some reason I never though about it until this morning. 2pc PvP Compat Medic + 2pc PvE Supercommando = +8sec to energy shield for a nice 18sec shield. I wasnt sure that they stacked, but I tested it and they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOpf Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 It's too bad Combat Tech gear looks awful, and you can't transfer the set bonuses. I hate the Combat Tech helmet, and I miss my Ironman outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well use suppercommando chest too, that way when you upgrade to War Hero, you can have the matching color for the Red cool look of a real Pyro lol Edited April 18, 2012 by Agooz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swapped to it once 1.2 hit. I didn't even bother looking at it outside of stats. I can upgrade to Combat Tech War Hero gear or I can spend the time getting the Medic gear as well. What I may do is just go back to the Iron man Gear and pull the mods and say forget the set bonuses for now. .5 sec on Carbonite and 15 seconds less on Determination plus 15 percent crit on RP isn't that groundbreaking.

Agooz Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 I am already specced in Energy Rebounder and I definitely see the merit in this. Having a 18sec shield every minute or so would be awesome I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also explains a few Tank Vanguards I ran into yesterday whose shield seemed to last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For AP, 18sec shield + Stabalize armor + Power Armor + Combust. That's alot of mitigation. I think it beats Combat Tech bonuses. As an AP you are trying to stack PFT, so might as well mitigate damage longer until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Combat Tech War Hero, is the Metalic Blue. Combat Medic is green, and Supercommando is Red I believe. Yellow is the rated. If you like the Combat Tech color all you need is get the Chest piece, then you can grab the other pieces of combat medic and supercommando and match the color under unify colors.

BTW I like the blue of combat tech (talking war hero) but the red of combat medic rated is nice. But think i'll stick with blue, wish there was a black, but i look bad *** in my critted gear. The problem is getting PVE 2 pc. So +3sec to shield. And longer carb/shorter trinket. Hmmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think so. Crap crap crap Red with fire FML. I thought it was only rated medic that was red. BTW, going 2pc (maybe 3) of Combat Tech, 2pc medic. 3sec shield could really make a difference.

I may do the same thing, Or I may just take the combat tech gear and demod it and put the mods in gear I like the look of. However the two piece Medic is pretty sweet.

dardack Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Ok just checked fleet: WH Medic: Dark Green RWH Medic: Red WH Combat: Blue RWH Combat: Yellow WH Elim: Same as Medic RWH Elim: Same as Medic WH Super: Same as Combat RWH Super: Same as Combat So gotta wait for rateds for the red. I'm slowing starting to make the critted rated, not as fast as the non rated. M ade 2 full sets in the first day of patch. I'll keep the blue for PVE and make rated for PVP. So at least only need to make 1 set of rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still torn between yellow and red for Rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exphryl Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Are all of you guys Armormechs? Heck, I am a straight Scavenging/Slicing/Treasure Hunting money maker. I leveled an Armormech alt just for patch, as well as an Armstech I'm a bit OCD on not relying on people for things... Even though it's value has lowered I couldn't drop Biochem on my Ex =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agooz Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 I made the switch to Super Energy Shield! It's great. Like having a 25% mitigation every 60sec. I love it. I went with the Champ Medic Head/gloves and PvE super Legs/feet and kept the BM chest for looks and unify color. Remoded everything using the BM mods. Problem is the champ helm doesnt blend, it kept the red color. So now I will have to get a Medic chest, which I think will look even sicker in black.

dardack Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Are all of you guys Armormechs? Heck, I am a straight Scavenging/Slicing/Treasure Hunting money maker. I'm biochem/bioanal/slicing. Biochem is so nice. I can swtich stims depending if i'm defending or on the attack at will. Reusable medpack after the pvp one is halfway through the CD. And if you pick up the pvp expertise thing on ground instead of adrenal, you can use your power adrenal. I made an alt just for armormech when I heard you could make War Hero gear critted. Didn't level till after patch (prolly wasted 1mil because of that) because wanted to see how the BH or the Jugg gear looked, which would have determined if i went Syn. I'm leveling up an armstech, but bought 2 critted guns, 1 20k, 1 75k. And let's be honest my armormech can make the best in slot augments for me. So might not even bother now.

Man I wish there was an ability like that in the AP tree or lower in the Pyro tree. It stinks pyro has 2 abilities like that (not shield but the removing CD's every 1.5 seconds type thing). Man a shield every 60 seconds. I'm still thinking the 3 seconds is gonna be awesome even with a 2min CD. YOu mean the Bm chest. Wish one of the warhero's was black. Oh well just got my rated schematic for red. Now just need rateds to get 2400. Edited April 19, 2012 by dardack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
