Zoom_VI Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Pyro replacing Hatred Sins? Nope, Pyro is really bad right now, it has no burst, the cleave is garbage, the survivability is crap, even the sustained isn't that strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikochoro Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I think perhaps he meant madness sins before they got buffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom_VI Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I think perhaps he meant madness sins before they got buffed. Pyro isn't better than *old* madness either. Pyro is garbage, you can get just as much DPS out of playing Shieldtech in DPS gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroyoshi Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) old madness was garbage too and it had no burst until that assassinate change you can get just as much DPS out of playing Shieldtech in DPS gear. o.0 Edited January 8, 2015 by nitroyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikochoro Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I've been too put out by what I've heard happened to pyro to even bring myself to test it. I like tank spec and AP. I used to really like old AP, but from what people said I'm sure I'd log on, get into a match, see what happened to it, and proceed to bang my head against the desk. Please tell me this isn't true. I haven't gone up against any pyros really since patch so I can't know for sure yet. Only experience since patch I've had is my friend testing out prototype flamethrower (or w/e it's called now) on me. Both full DPS PVP gear. I'm not in tank stance. It was ticking for 800 - 1500 on me. Is this the new pyro? Edited January 8, 2015 by Saikochoro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyro is garbage, you can get just as much DPS out of playing Shieldtech in DPS gear. the funny part is tactics has moderately better survivability (except more dangerous so often targeted first) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Beers Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Pyro is probably fine for regs. Probably okay at best for yolo is you're good and while it could probably work in group I doubt you'll see many teams running one if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxmob Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 yeah i havent played my pt yet because of what they did to AP it looks like old pyrotech with no dots \ yeah. they swapped the specs around, putting the signature abilities in each others trees. added one new "Shadow of Revan" ability, and then they gave the already more potent spec the SC buff. heh.

GrizzMeshurik Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Plasma/Pyro would be somewhat decent if the dot spread for explosive surge and adrenaline fueled would work... And I'm not sure why they nerfed Pulse Generator to the point where Ion Storm in Shield Tech (with dps gear ofc) does more dmg than Pulse Cannon with 3 Stacks...

Confirmed. None of it's impressive. It's a fun spec, still, but it's bugged and bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-ToXiN Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) With AP as good as it is, there's no reason to play Pyro. I honestly haven't bothered, AP feels so nice right now. Edited January 9, 2015 by Z-ToXiN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
