Milandalorian Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi all, I'm currently playing my first AP PT I'm not too far in (lvl 34) and I enjoy the class. Can someone maybe tell me (In noob terms ) why the vanguards/pts were nerfed and how they were nerfed just so i get an idea of what to avoid building thanks!

Merlinmagus Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Since I have a VG i just know the name of rep abilities. Shoulder cannon depletion time increased to 1,5 sec from 0,5 sec. Slightly reduced damage of the shoulder cannon. Removed full auto ability. I think that's all since 3.0, this changes shot tactics dps to the ground. Hopefully we will get back something in 3.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, if Tactics's DPS was shot to the ground by this, then everyone else who was nerfed (bar IO) is currently chilling in the plants core, while all tactics was doing pre-nerf was chilling 1m off the ground. Anyway, the nerfs hit Plasmatech/Pyrotech. These were: FLAMING FIST Elemental damage reduced by 21.15% IMMOLATE Damage reduced by 5.4% RAIN OF FIRE +10% damage moved from Flaming Fist + Rail Shot to Flamethrower FLAME BARRAGE Free Flame Burst removed 3.2 is doing the following RAIN OF FIRE +10% Flamethrower damage moved to +5% Kinetic/Energy damage, as well as DoT spread for Incendiary Missile on Flamethrower SUPERHEATED FLAMETHROWER Stacks required dropped to 2 for max damage. Damage/Stack increased from 15% to 25%, and slow per stack increased from 30% to 45%. BURNOUT Makes Scorch use 5 less heat. COMBAT TECH'S 6-PIECE SET BONUS Properly consumed by Immolate Overall, the changes make Pyro a better AoE spec, and the single target damage stays about the same IF you have the 6-piece set bonus, otherwise its a decent increase in DPS.

Milandalorian Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the responses guys! Appreciate it! I was just wondering, people seem to keep saying that VG was nerfed hard recently, since they are mirror classes that must also apply to PT but not many seem to complain about PT or at least not as much...or am I just seeing things? xD Edited April 22, 2015 by Milandalorian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
