You missed the part where it was then shot into a star, then the star blown up with the sun crusher, then the resulting supernova being consumed by a black hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCamTheGreat Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 you missed the part where no other *op* classes got nerfed, but buffed, more enraged stacks etc Whoah a melee class that can stealth into enemies faces is now melee (assassin shadow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdatt Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Since I may switch to vanguard for damage in pve (and shelve my shadow to only tank), in all seriousness what current boss fights would the new plasmatech have an advantage? Either where survivability isn't an issue or damage potential is higher. I know tactics well but haven't even tried plasmatech due to the upcoming changes.

MulletManTim Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Plasmatech Vanguard 12/2/2014 - 03/10(ish)/2015 You were a dear friend who seemed to always be there when the raid needed a little boost to sustained single target DPS (or when I wanted to keep Tom in his rightful 2nd place). I'll always think of you fondly as an old friend who had a fun rotation and was surprisingly not complained about by the PVP community. And though the devs will likely never explain this ninja double nerf that was not asked for and has soured more than a few peoples perception of how the game is managed, we will all remember our time playing you with great joy. I hope you enjoy your time in spec heaven along with the original Assault VG spec and a score of others who were absolutely shattered by dev changes which were too large to truthfully be balanced with any degree of accuracy. Goodbye dear friend. Seriously though, I thought the new discipline system was created so they could fine-tune the different specs, not keep randomly swinging heavy-handed nerf bats.

ThomasCool Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Very Nice Eulogy Tim, That being said... I was gonna make a comment about wishful thinking, but now is not the time T. P.S. People played Plasma because of its higher single target and it more enjoyable rotation. Edited March 9, 2015 by ThomasCool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCamTheGreat Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well the nerf bat is a little cumbersome, maybe they just said f*** it and started swinging blindly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunner_Venda Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Goodnight pyrotech, I hardly knew you. You were a cluster**** every since the clueless EAware combat team aborted you. They took all of your best abilities and gave them to AP. Then they took away what little damage and burst you had left, leaving you naked, defenseless and pathetic in raids and PVP. RIP. This may get me banned, but I really don't care at this point Biofail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transcendent Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 R.I.P. My fairly fresh faced Pyro PT, who I levelled and played from 3.0 and thoroughly enjoyed the rotation on. It was a pleasant dalliance for the time we had together, much too short. To be blunt, tried playing it since the patch, so much for the sweet lovely rotation and nice heat management. I guess having Pyro and AP was being too greedy. Also, lol at the 1.5sGCD now on shoulder cannon, I think I may well be freeing up 2 server slots shortly.

DethlaHadyn Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Pyro. Lmao. I'd try to experiment with it, but I'm positive the rest of my server's ranked community would not think it so fukkin funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmbuddah Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I REALLY am trying to make plasmatech work, but I honestly think its futile....the dots are horrible, the rotation is now horrible, the burst is now horrible, the energy management is now horrible...its just ridiculous tbh.

AxeDragoneth Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 In lieu of Pyro/Plasma being nerfed, I wasted a bunch of comms on alacrity gear for the lulz. Now seeing wet noodle dots tick at 10% alacrity brings me atleast a sliver of joy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxeDragoneth Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Plus that 2.7 second pulse cannon channel On the plus side I'm almost seeing 4k ticks with both of my relics and everyone burning for the one tick I can actually hit someone with it.

clearsighted Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's ironic that pyrotech was one of the few specs that even the PvP community had universal consensus about being 'fine', but it's the one that's gotten nerfed the hardest. In ranked, pyrotechs were always ignored till the end, unlike AP pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearsighted Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 BRB speccing pyro in ranked so I can last more than 10 seconds Doesn't always work till the second round, when they realize you're not AP, and thence, not a big threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
