KevinQCowart Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Tactics has the best burst in the game right now, so Plasmatech obviously sits in its shadow. The faceroll easy dot spread of sorc/sin is overpowered, so again, Plasmatechs poor dot spread mechanic sits in the shadows. I still play Plasmatech on my VG, becasue I'm sick of all this faceroll FOTM crap and want a challenge and not easy street. I still feel powerful and effective in warzones and take down healers all the time. But most of the time I just troll the other team by putting Incenerary Round and Plasmatize on everyone and jetting around with Hold The Line. I actually frequently end with top damage much like the other "dot fluff" classes. Plasmatize is the little torch above their heads and is unquestionably the most humiliating animation in the game. Great for the Lulz Edited June 16, 2015 by KevinQCowart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for the Lulz It's like a 30 second dunce cap for the target you put it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekkakuski Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I played Tactics with my Vq and last evening i try Plasmatech. At first try I put 1,2mil overall damage at Voidstar and I think it's viable at warzones without massive bursts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arehonn Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 They are all viable specs in regs. Plasmatech isn't as good as the other two in ranked, but it certainly has it's place in a regular 8v8 warzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetideus Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) ST with a lot of DPS gear. If you know guarding it is the most efficient spec. Fire storm is the flame thrower that Plasma should have. Edited June 16, 2015 by Aetideus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaeVictis Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 ST with a lot of DPS gear. If you know guarding it is the most efficient spec. Fire storm is the flame thrower that Plasma should have. For ST with DPS would you go with Aim/Power or End augments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JouerTue Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 endurance for me, shield and dps gear, but i go full tank for huttball lulz so i'm not really expert into dps gear on tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom_VI Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 For ST with DPS would you go with Aim/Power or End augments? If you just want to derp around and act like a DPS then you want aim augments. If you are trying to skank tank with it you want endurance augs or mixed endurance and aim augs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just want to derp around and act like a DPS then you want aim augments. If you are trying to skank tank with it you want endurance augs or mixed endurance and aim augs. Both are viable. In my setup I use power augments and -b lettered mods. ~49k HP. The spec is effective when you guard. Actually achieving high protection with dps. My top is 1850. You may use full dps gear (no b mods, no def stats while tank set is recommended) achieving higher dps. Edited June 17, 2015 by Aetideus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevMeup Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Tank is great. Lots of fun utilities and easy to play. I'd be tanking on mine still but I decided I only wanted 1 tank, and I don't enjoy dpsing on my assassin. I gave pyro (plasma) a good try recently, the fire animations looks awesome, I really wanted it to work, it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't easy. AP (tactics) has now become my favorite dps in the game, sad as it is, I don't think they compare in pvp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
