Fire Pulse or Incendiary Round for Tactics PVP build

[GreenLantern]

Going Gut build for PVP but fire pulse seems a little lackluster and incendiary round seems like it would go well as an opener before gut to get the mean DoT's ticking. What are you guys thinking / post your PVP builds. The problem i see with the Gut/incendiary round build is im gonna have to waste 3 talent points on plasma cell talents while im gonna be mainly using High energy, But again, fire pulse seems a little lackluster.

Fire pulse is great. It only costs one ammo, hits pretty hard, and if you've specced into battering ram (and you should have) it gives you a free stockstrike.

I think you're on to something. The added range on incindiary round would, if anything, give an advantage if you're out of range for whatever reason. Good damage too, even with high impact cell not to mention the small role fire pulse plays in the tactics rotation. Edited December 26, 2011 by halfhourofpower

Yeah, I've been wanting to check this out since pre launch. Going to spec it when they add dual specing.

Incendiary Round opens up High Impact Bolt for those situations where it's just not possible or too dangerous to close to land Gut.

 

Incendiary Round is one of the best skills available to Vanguards of any playstyle.

 

Also, having an instacast 30m range 18 second DoT with no cooldown other than the GCD is extremely valuable for defending nodes since people can't capture objectives when they are taking damage over time.
