Major tip for Advanced Prototype Powertechs

Something I figured out on my BH just recently - haven't noticed this tip spread around too much.

 

Flame Sweep adds stacks of Prototype Flame Thrower, in addition to Flame Burst. HOWEVER, you don't actually need to hit an enemy in order to get the stack. Plus, you can use Flame Sweep outside of combat.

 

So really you can just Flame Sweep 5 times before every fight and open up every battle with a fully-buffed flamethrower. No need to use the Flame Burst over and over in combat to get it done.

 

Figured this would be useful for my fellow AP Powertechs out there. I know there's a few of us.

this must have been a recent change. I remember specifically that a sweep without connecting did NOT add to your PFT stack.

 

It changed a back in 1.1 or something like that I believe.

 

It's definitely a good tip. So good it's part of the Advanced Prototype sticky thread in the Powertech subforum. :)

 

I was thinking the same thing haha. I got on pretty excited was hoping to see something awesome, and then went oh, yeah, well okay haha!
