Your pyro spec

[ICUto]

So what spec do you guys run as pyro? Heres mine:

Is it bad that I don't get the aim increase? Or the kolto overload one?

 

Open for new spec suggestions.

I'd drop Rapid Venting for Infrared Sensors. If you're doing your rotation right you'll rarely need RV, while IS is always on. The stealth detection has actually helped me quite a bit as well.

using this atm for burst damage http://www.swtor-spy.com/skill-tree-calculator/powertech/16/?build=003200300000000000000000000000020000000000000000000000000320032202120230003200300010

 

maybe I should sacrifice 1 point of steely resolve for 1 more point puncture..dunno thoughts?

Curious if people are still using the TD as much with the v1.4 nerf. Is it still worth going for?

I still run 4/6/31, but I should try and parse some variation with +9% aim.

 

As for TD, it's my second option for filling the 2 dead GCD between rail shot roulette. Option 1 is IM+shots, 2nd is TD+shots, 3rd is an unload. I tried using flamethrower in there, but having two 25 heat moves was messing me up.

 

And I also really like the recast down for sensor overload and kolto healing. Pretty much every attack but unload is critting at a 47% or so crit, and it helps make sure I don't have to rapid shots more than I have too. Same deal with recast down on vent heat, once that's up, in a bad spin lets me just force it whiles it up, rather than having to lose dps weaving rapid shots.

 

I generally fall around 1910 on the dummy over 6 min.

I was also getting around 1910~ on the dummy but swapped to 8/5/28 after the range nerf on the TD. I do miss having a crazy short cooldown on the thermal sensor overide sometimes but my dps went up by quite a bit from changing: http://www.torparse.com/a/25439/time/1348928509/1348928811

My most current spec, switched some points around and is working pretty well.

Weird, was parsing a 8/5/28 build today for the aim boost, but was really feeling the loss of TSO recast down and lack of TD. When I was getting in trouble with heat, didn't have TSO to give that one more free spin, and when I was flush on the rolls, without TD to fill the gap inbetween Rail shots on the 3rd good roll, I was just having to flameburst instead, which didn't pack the same punch.

 

Could've just been a bad set of parses, but I did three 5 min sets of each spec, and ended up averaging 1913 for the the 9% aim, and 1934 for the TD. I'll have to do some more when I get the time.

 

Also, what relic's is everyone using? I just today finally got around to getting two BM power relics. Does the Matrix cube get more value with 9% aim? I saw in that build it gave me over a 1% boost in crit rating, but lost me about 11 damage. And I was using a Campaign elemental proc one before, but never felt too happy with that one.

I never really have problems with heat, I did at first after changing as I was used to having such a small cooldown but in the end I got used to it. As for having no TD, I think flameburst is almost as good as the TD. TD relies a lot on crits otherwise its damage is miniscule, whereas flameburst still hits ok numbers without crits and has a higher crit chance than TD.

I personally use 2x war hero power relics. I never actually picked up the matrix cube on this character so I've never parsed to see a difference, I just assume the war hero relic is better from looking at the stats.
