Onymus Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 What is your favorite ability to use, what is the one you can do without and why? Love Flame Thrower! AOE damage, great animation and short cooldown. Hate Missile Blast. It uses too much heat, has pitiful damage and an unneeded AOE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyTheCannon Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Death From Above is my all-time favorite, although Rocket Punch is a close second (and the reason I'm leveling a Powertech now). Least favorite is Power Shot. ::shrugs:: Just animation-wise, it's boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufgufkin Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Shoryuken!!! I mean rocket punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyaanisqat Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Explosive Dart. I love that ****. I love how it has a 2 second primer to trigger burst, and I love when sages force speed away with less than 1,000 health and it fires off, killing them. That makes my day. Least favorite ability? Sweeping Blasters. It should be longer like the Smuggler variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how it has a 2 second primer to trigger burst, and I love when sages force speed away with less than 1,000 health and it fires off, killing them. That makes my day. It reminds me of the good old days of using the Rail Launcher's secondary fire in Dark Forces, and knowing that the stormtrooper it hits has exactly three seconds to live. It's even better here, though, because enemies in this game actually *know* they're going to die and panic appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stressfire Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Oh, Rocket Punch all the way, even as a Merc - makes a thematic finisher for a melee enemy As much as I enjoy missile blast for the knockdown on non-elites, it's an awful lot of heat to justify consistent use unless there is a real need for an instant cast.

LordExozone Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Most loved abilities: Retractable Blade - Awesome animation. I especially love finishing people off with it when they end up with <5% hp - predator-style! Flame Thrower - Roasting people in flames is simply awesome. Most hated ability: Flame Burst - It takes away from the uniqueness of the Flame Thower, and the spammable nature of it makes no sense to me. After all I didn't see Boba or Jango Fett spam bursts of flames everywhere. Our main spammable attack should be a blaster attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koyaanisqat Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 It's even better here, though, because enemies in this game actually *know* they're going to die and panic appropriately. And for the moment, it triggers shoulder-slam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatriann Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Favorite : rocket punch. As stated, it makes a super nice finish (Tiger uppercut !). Most hated : rail shot while tanking (I play pyro pt most of the time). Why is this just never up ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because tanking procs Rocket Punch instead, as it's your high-threat move. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dijskykiller Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Favorite: Immolate Nothing beats a huge ignition that covers half of your screen. Hated: Heat Blast Animation is too poor for a top tier ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never_Hesitate Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Love: Death from above (especially when I fail again and put it on the roof) Hate: missile blast, as soon as a bh gets lvl 10 this ability disappears from the quickbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paokzu Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Favorite: Shoulder Slam It's my favorite animation for the class. I hated that I couldn't use it as often as I would've liked and hate even more that it's being removed, A million curses! Not favorite: Missile Blast I like the ability but it costs too much heat and I don't need the AE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slicksteezin Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Favorite - Unload. How has nobody else said this yet?!? by far our biggest hitting attack. and its insta-cast Least - theres a few.. i wouldn't say missile blast because it comes it handy every once in a while as a finisher. But i would probably say sweeping blast. Or rocket punch before it was removed... Edited March 17, 2013 by Slicksteezin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not favorite: Missile Blast I like the ability but it costs too much heat and I don't need the AE. I hadn't really thought about shoulder slam in awhile since it is being removed soon. Shoulder slam has a great animation and I would prefer it to the rocket punch one. I may have to edit my post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlet_magpie Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I love unload, but I also love the fact that with explosive dart the enemy starts quivering with fear!! I can't stand sweeping blasters... mainly cos it doesn't DO anything..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand sweeping blasters... mainly cos it doesn't DO anything..... Sweeping Blasters is an essential part of an AOE rotation. It can knock back weaks and standards (like DFA). However, it *is* weaker than your other AOEs - because they all have cooldowns and SB is spammable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Hated: Unload It takes way too much heat and barely does any damage Guessing you're a Powertech? I'm leveling one now and, while I love my abilities, every time I fire off that Unload I seriously miss the Mercenary one. It's a thousand times better.

DOCSMonkey Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 My Favorite attack is the Flamethrower- Even as a Pyro PT i love the animation. Same with Rocket punch. Least Favorite. Kolto Overload... useless healing ability is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
