Teknono Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I am loving playing my POwerTech. I am only level 20 atm, but i am finding pvp a blast. I have been looking between going either of these builds for my lev 50 pvp spec. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#301bMZMsZfhMbdGhrs.1 and http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#301hRGbbRboZ0MZbIbbdh.1 If i went the build which focused in ShieldTech how much less damage would i do in pvp compared to a full pyro build. Because i was thinking of going ShieldTech, but with dps pvp gear. CAn someone explain to me how the damage would differ, and which is best?

brazthemad Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The ST/Pyro hybrid build is definitely better. Gives you many more options for defensive plays in pvp like guard, and also a good balance of survivability and dps. Remember that pvp is not a dps race. It is a survival game.

Teknono Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Ok, thx for that advice. And would going for dps gear over protective gear be better for a St/Pyro . Becaue you already have survivability and just want more dps? Also, should i use combustible or IOn chambers?

brazthemad Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Ion, and you will want to balance shield proc chance with surge for those big crits and heat / rocket punch procs. More rocket punch = more railshot = more heat vented. It's all woven together, but it still rests on shields proccing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknono Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Do you get dps or protective pvp gear? Cuz it looks like your abilities give you a tonne of survivability already. I was thinking of dps gear. YOur thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trungalung Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Currently using ST/Pyro at 50 with 8 pc of Champion gears, I can take a lot of damage while pushing out even more. I'm currently using the Eliminator DPS set for the 4pc 15% crit Rail Shot bonus. Grab a good healer and both of you guys can literally wipe the other team. In one Voidstar, I dealt 400k damage while having 80k protection (granted both of us were just trying to farm them). Popping Explosive Fuel + 355 power trinket make my Rail Shot crit upward to 3.5k and Rocket Punch around 2k-2.2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
