OM-AR Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Anyone try Advanced Prototype now? Is the damage closer to pyro or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rion_Starkiller Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 It’s quite strong atm, and will get a buff in 6.1. But I don’t think anything can touch pyro right now. It’s top of the NiM parses. Play whichever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebakonkol Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 AP PT is my main, this spec has best single target burst in game, even compared to PvP deception and conc builds. It will also get huge damage buffs in delayed 6.1 patch (patchnotes are avaliable already). This spec is also quite tough compared to Pyrotech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebakonkol Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Disadvantage is long time between burst windows (Explosive Fuel + Shoulder Cannon). With Flame Detonation its AoE is decent, but poor on tougher mobs. Without Flame Detonation its nice for trash cleaning because of knockdowns on 2 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullbash Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 It's quite a bit better in pvp now, mainly due to the autocrit on powerlode tactical, something this spec always needed. It would be perfect if it gave an additional crit on a follow-up to energy burst, maybe thermal detonator or magnetic blast, which feels the most improved from the 6.1 buffs, outside of energy burst with the powerlode tactical. You still get killed just as fast as before, but you can do more damage beforehand. Haven't tried the veteran ranger set yet, but I'm curious to see what kind of damage autocannon does, anyone try it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melon_Lord Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 They buffed our damage but secretly nerfed the meteor brawler cost reduction, so we have to rapid shots more often now, which partially negates the damage buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebakonkol Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) There is threat about Veteran Ranger Set. Guy said that he needs last piece and will update us soon. For me 4pc bonus of ranger looks like ****, 6pc is nice but why its random? I like 2% Mastery it provides making my autocrit better. I wanna test Right Price for now in PvP, rhis set on my tank reduces CD of fuel by nearly 1min, on DPS it will be even better. 10% DR sounds nice if combined with sonic defence and prototype armor passives. Heat might be a problem, but I played AP a lot in 5.10, so I may manage Edited February 14, 2020 by sebakonkol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoloma Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 After 6.1 it's actually awesome. So much so that I think powerlode tactical may actually be overperforming now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking for pve or pvp? I will be farming for the veteran ranger and powerlode tactical if it is good for pve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OM-AR Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 I did a couple of dummy parses, it’s as if power yield is higher than energized blade and my initial burst is like pre-nerf pyro meteor brawler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equeliber Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Interesting. 500k? Well, currently AP seems to beat Pyro on every dummy HP pool. I'd say it should definitely be able to rival Pyro in Nim. But some more experienced PT player would know better, I don't really play PT myself.

Rion_Starkiller Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) I meant his parse of Energized Blade tactical vs Power Lode tactical in AP/Tactics. Either way it's kind of exciting... I have a soft spot for AP/Tactics since it was one of my first raid toons.

altherion_bear Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Is meteor brawler still the go-to set even post nerf? What are you guys using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
