Vynstian Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 So its been a while and honestly i tried asking general chat for advice, and as usual got no results, so guys, i must ask is plasmatech any good? is it good to beat another vanguard who is running tactics? ect ect, im mainly looking at plasmatech for pvp and i just would like solid advice, sorry in advance if this post is a little jumbled up
lpsmash Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Pick the spec with assault plastique and roll your face on the keyboard.
Vynstian Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 Not really wanting to roll my face, but wanting to know the viability of playing as plasmatech
cmlfree Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Last I checked, it is pretty good, but no one plays it cause the other spec is basically an insta-nuke. I messed around with it in 3.0 had massive stats but didn't feel like I was really killing anyone, at least that's how I felt.
Pearlie Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Not really wanting to roll my face, but wanting to know the viability of playing as plasmatech In terms of dps, it's the worst spec in the game for both pve and pvp.
Vynstian Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 I do want to be competitive but i dont want to be a damn face roller, so as long as plasma can get results ill make it work, i just wonder if ill be able to take down a tactics vg or ap bh if im stuck node guarding thats the worrying part for me i suppose
Ottoattack Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Not really wanting to roll my face, but wanting to know the viability of playing as plasmatech Do not. If your are thinking old plasmatech, pre 3.0, that is now tactics. Tactics is currently borderline OP and tank is in the same boat. The current plasmatech is probably the worst PvP dps spec in the game.
Retro_Chrome Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 it really depends on what you wnat to do with your vg... are you lookign for ranked play? i would only do group as plasma tech and make sure to bring a pure burst spec with you... however in regs, plasma tech can REALLY shine. plenty of targets to spread dots and many opportuinites for pulse cannon. especially in matches like novare and void star. that being said as plasma tech you are a there to put pressure on enemy teams and debuff the crap out of them. while your dots are ticking on the entire team the other players onyour team are doing more damage to them and it really adds up. i LOVE Plasmatech although i use tactics myself because i am addicted to HUGE crits... long story short plasma tech is very viable in regs and you can top damage in regs with it...same as dot sorcs(although they do it easier) but for yolo ranked the frustration will make you rage quit as plasma tech
Vynstian Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 im looking to hit regs but also do some yolo ranked just for yolo, i really dont want to resort to tactics if its faceroll because honestly i dont want to be viewed as a lolfotm loser, but single target wise is plasmatech worth it? im not looking for fluff damage but more or so the ability to take nodes from people in 1v1 scenarios
Master-Nala Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 im looking to hit regs but also do some yolo ranked just for yolo, i really dont want to resort to tactics if its faceroll because honestly i dont want to be viewed as a lolfotm loser, but single target wise is plasmatech worth it? im not looking for fluff damage but more or so the ability to take nodes from people in 1v1 scenarios Tactics is just so much better for PvP right now, that it is really hard to suggest going Plasmatech. I have one of each and the Tactics just does everything better.
Vynstian Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 But is there really a large amount of stigma attached to playing as tactics? like i said i want to enjoy pvping again (its been a while) but i also dont want to be called out on my kills for using a face roll spec, ofc it has been a while since i pvp'd but still
Royox Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I was Vanguard Assault (the new PlasmaTech) since 1.0 till 3.0 and now I can say Tactics has so many PVP skills and passives it's just useless to pick Plasma for that.
AndriusAjax Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) But is there really a large amount of stigma attached to playing as tactics? like i said i want to enjoy pvping again (its been a while) but i also dont want to be called out on my kills for using a face roll spec, ofc it has been a while since i pvp'd but still I think sorcs and assassins had more of a stigma during their heydays, similar to smash monkeys from year 1. Ive been tactics, or a variant (Carolina parakeet ftw), from the get go and it's only just started getting a "lolfotm" stigma. That said, since 3.0 it has been viewed as above average, but sins were way better. So with sins recent dot spread nerf, it's only just become considered one of if not the BIS. And of course all the Vgs are OP threads come out fast as hell, many from sorcs and sins. Which I find hilarious Edited November 3, 2015 by AndriusAjax
Vynstian Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 On another note how active is pvp atm? like jedi cove which is my main server? and is that so? because im leveling my commando now as well as mabye an alternative, still wish i could use blaster rifle and commando and be compet though
