Consular_Bob Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hey all Can I ask what secondary stats I should be looking at as a Pyro PT. I currently have 0 crit and 0 alacrity. Just stacking power and surge and have accuracy at 110.40%. I am still currently in the old 4 set piece bonus as I am relecutant to swap it out until I have the full new 6 piece and am missing 2 pieces (one of them the belt). My parse is currently at 4300 in a 192 barrel but I have seen much much higher parses and wondering if I am doing something wrong? Should I have crit? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Its actually alacrity that you are missing D: Random Fact: Pyro ia bugged in that the 6-piece doesnt get consumed by immolate but does grant the auto-crit. This means with a slight modification to the opener and ~6% alacrity, you can get 3/4 of your immolates to auto-crit. Modified Opener: SCH->IMS->FT->FF->RS->RPS->FB->IML->... Then, every minute (so every second time Flaming Fist follows Flamethrower), you make sure a flame burst is used immediately before Immolate. Boom -75% Auto-Crit rate on Immolate. There are 3 ways you could improve your Alacrity Option A: Lame method Swap out half your surge pieces for Alacrity Option B: Less Lame Method Do option A, then get 4-8x Alacrity Augments Option C: My personal method Anyway, my personal method of getting Alacrity is actually to just stick with the token gear's enhancements (swapping out the head for an eliminators, and having 1 Power/Surge implant and 1 Power/Alacrity one), get a single surge augment, and then get Acc to 100% through augments. I was keeping up with a guy with a lot more 198s than me this way, and on a Vanguard where it isnt bugged while he's on a Powertech and rocking the bugged set bonus. Then he got a 93% Immolate crit rate and I said "Stuff it" and left it there. Of course, when you do it this way on a PT, you never want any crit. Ever.

Consular_Bob Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hi Tac, your a legend in this forum as always! So, until I get my full 6 piece, you think I am better sticking with my old 4 peiece or just swap them now? As I am yet to benefit from the 6 piece autocrit on IML (Need 2 more pieces). Also, from your numbers below, do you think 6-7 alacrity Augments should do the trick? All my mods/enhancements are the unlettered 192's so you think it may be a good idea to stick with them?

With Pyro, the new 4-piece is a lot better than the old 4-piece (because the resource management is very good), so I'd recommend going 4 new 2 old until you get the 6-piece. And yeah, go with the alacrity augments if all your mods/enhancements are Adept/Initiative (though I'd still swap those implants for Alacrity ones if possible - or better yet, 2 of the enhancements) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say, stick with token enhancements and take zero crit, but token enhancements are crit. So, which is it? PS: How much alacrity do you suggest at the minimum to see a noticeable effect?

PS: How much alacrity do you suggest at the minimum to see a noticeable effect? You notice it immediately, but once you get to about 400 rating you don't truly notice it anymore. Though you dont notice a drop again till 800 rating either. Also I was still thinking VGs! Stupid faction imbalances... making it impossible to keep up with PTs without legacy-ing my gear across Edited February 2, 2015 by TACeMossie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
