Kazubaii Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I am a newcomer to this game. And recently started a powertech, but am finding the almost total lack of use of my pistol causing me to grrrr. If i play the Vanguard, will i find the same issue, or does this class have some skills that I will use in my rotation that actually come out of the rifle?

ZeroPlus Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 On the Vanguard all your abilities come from your rifle. The Bounty Hunter is all about "the suit": missiles from his back, Railshot from the wrist, Flamethrower from the wrist, etc... Gameplay between Vanguard and Powertech is the same. Ability names change and animations but they are essentially the same. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazubaii Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Thankyou for answer I guess that means I will be playing a goodguy then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DariusCalera Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Thankyou for answer I guess that means I will be playing a goodguy then. You will be playing a trooper and not necessarily a good guy. You get to slaughter people whole sale if you do it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreliavan Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 just wanted to clarify this real quick, from my experience leveling a tank VG (I've been inactive for a bit so I may not be up to date on any recent changes they have made) while a majority of attacks appear to originate from your rifle, not all of them make sense coming from your rifle (i.e. pulse cannon. since when does a rifle fire lightening bolts in a 10 meter frontal cone?), and unfortunately those are the attacks that you seem to spam. not sure if all specs are like this though, I have only played as a tank.

I would think that the pulse cannon is basically just an energy discharge from an un-capped rifle. Kind of like a water spigot. If you take the aerator off of the faucet, you end up with a weird stream that doesn't conform to any type of shape. Perhaps this is just the trooper turning the focus off of the rifle and letting the raw energy fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
