Pysoden Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) So I currently have a 48 Merc and a 23 Ptech. I re-rolled Ptech because I liked the idea of more utility and mobility, however thus far my results have been quite underwhelming. Note: Yes, I realize that I'm considerably lower level on my Powertech and I'm not expecting to top damage charts at 23. I'm just curious as to whether or not the damage for AP improves drastically. I generally end warzones with 5-8 medals, however my damage rarely breaks 100k. On my Merc I was generally in the top 3 for damage as soon as I got tracer missile. I also realize that when my Merc was 20, so was everyone else (2nd day of early access), so perhaps my expectations are skewed. So does AP (or Pyrotech for that matter) offer great damage once higher level? Or can I always expect to be stuck doing mediocre damage, and being more of a support by throwing guard on on healers/ball carrier? If by some chance I'm playing the spec incorrectly, then I would like to know. If it's 1v1 I generally ED - RB - RS - RP - then use FB until I can RP/RS again. Does this sound right? (I also throw in unload/DFB when necessary, and keep my heat below 40 ofc). PS: It seems much more beneficial to use Ion so that I can throw guard on VIP's during WZ's, as a dps spec is it worth it to disregard Guard and instead use HE instead? (Yes, I picked up the HE talents, however Guard just seemed like it was too good not to use.) Thanks guys! PSS: Is Pyrotech much better for dps in WZ's? I've heard from various people that both spec's do very well, and I saw a Ptech hit over 300k damage the other day, however I didn't catch his spec.

MigSebes Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Pyrotech is definitely the better choice for PvP from what I have seen in Warzones. Iron Citadel FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagolias Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 try this build from the powertech compendium at forcejunkies http://www.forcejunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BH-Pyrotech-Spec.jpg indeed, pyrotech vs AP is like night and day and rail shot becomes Thor's lightning.
