DigitalVertigo Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 How do they play? Can you kill other players solely from range or do you really have to get close to kill players? How do they differ from a pyro merc aside from the merc having two blasters and healing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheronFett Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 PT Pyro can still cause damage from range, but 90% of their main DPS abilities are under 10m. Merc Pyro has basically the same abilities and talents, but increased range on them. However, Mercs do not have Flame Burst, which is why they'll NEVER be on par for DPS with their PT cousins.

Farrex Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Powertechs can become ranged when the situation calls for it, such as preventing WZ objective caps, or if an enemy Huttball carrier is at 20% health and out of melee reach. But to be at 100% effectiveness PTs have to be within melee range as Rocket Punch, Quell and Retractable Blade (if AP spec) are 4 meter abilities.
