I hate to use WoW as a reference for my post but if there are any real gamers out there left they will understand. First of all this post is just my observation it's not based on any fact or stats it's just what I have seen over the years of being a online gamer. Back in the early days WoW was to the online gaming world what SWTOR is attempting to be now. There was nothing out there like it. From day one it had so many bugs so many fixes actually getting a full day of gaming in was next to impossible, my point is through all of that we stuck it out and no one can argue with the numbers that game achieved as far as player base. During the life of the game many things a lot of us play for today were introduced, if you remember those early Molten Core (MC) runs you know what I'm talking about, The Grind. MC made a lot of old gamers fall in love with gaming. Back in those days you had to put in work to get the things you wanted. A group of individuals spent countless hours on encounter after encounter repair run after repair run trying to master that instance. Sacrifices were made, the raid was suppose to end at 11 but its pushing 1 am you got to be up for work in 4 hours and everyone was like lets give it one more try we got him to 40% that time we can do better. What happened to those gamers? As I read these forums I wonder why some of the people making post on here even game. I got beat by so and so, my DPS is too low, this is over powered, I got nerfed, the post seem to be endless, it has become so bad I can tell by the Title weather its worthy of my time to even read. When did gaming become an entitlement? Yes in the game I have been face rolled many times by another player, OP's have stunned locked me to death, Sorc's have nuked me to death, Bh's have tracer missile me to death, I think I have been on the receiving end of every possible kind of death you can think of and through sheer determination and player skill I have worked my way to a point where I can make all of those classes pay for all those face rolls I received. I didn't think the problem was with my class I can do damage just like he can, I didn't think it was with my gear ( hard work deserves just reward and if you took the time no matter how you did it to get the gear before I did then thats my fault) but because I know your better geared than me all that tells me is I got to work harder to get that kill and if you have the skill to kill a better geared player then welcome to what online gaming is all about. The better gear comes with the work and makes your job easier but a skilled player can adapt until he's better geared. There is a catch though and I think this is were a lot of the problems stim from and why people cry. If you run into a skilled player that has taken the time to get geared now you have a nightmare on your hands, and this situation makes the less geared less skilled player feel very small, and then they hit the forums and the tears start to flow. Online gaming will never be fair because all gamers are not created equal, you can't key bind like I do, I can't react as fast as you can all these things factor into the game they make a huge difference. WHich brings me back to an earlier point The Grind. You have to work at getting better, you have to learn from every encounter how to counter everything. When you get beat don't look at what the other person had on the question is what did I do wrong and how do I get him next time. During your learning curb you will get better, as you spend time getting better so will your gear and before you know it you will be enjoying your game a lot better. I don't win all the time I don't expect to but a lot of people do but the simple fact is there will always be that one guy that's better than you, that's the guy I'm constantly looking for, that's how you improve you game. I know this was a long read and thank you for taking time out of your day to hear my thoughts. to those of you that can relate to what I'm trying to say keep on grinding and to those who will no doubt troll me the time your spending here crying could be better spent improving you skills. Have fun. I'll see ya in a Huttball!!!!

I did fail to mention that I'm playing Pyro from a PVE prospective I'll always be grouped with my wife (maurader) I'll be doing space battles a lot with my PYRO, for PVP thats my twin BH I'm going with a Bodyguard/Arsenal hybrid I like to heal in PVP. See I'm in a bit of a pickle with a wife that games (some say thats lucky in itself) she plays but is only good for about 5 hours a day, but I cant play my character without her so I'll play my other when she not on. Anyway its a win/win for me cause no matter what I get to play. But I'm playing a Pyro strictly PVE.

@Kesrik thanks for the outstanding input thats the 1st time I had any info on the pro's and con's. Being an avid believer in player skill over gear and weapons what you just described sounds so much like my play style. And you hit the nail on the head for me I don't believe in adhering to strict rotations, situations change and you have to be able to adjust on the fly so thats where knowing your class comes into play. Looking forward to going against the grain and playing pyro.

Nice to meet another pyro. I got a feeling it will catch on as the game goes on people seem to underestimate the power of DOT's which pyro's proc alot.

I started out as a die hard juggernaut, I was allowed to participate in two Beta periods the 1st was all Jugger and the 2nd period I wanted to see what was all the fuss about BH's being able to tank, so I tried it and I haven't looked back since. The thing that won me over with the BH class is all tanks playstyles are different the BH allows you to choose how you want to tank in every single fight. After doing my research I have no choice but to play two BH's, I'm going to portray them in game as twins but to my point, I want to play a merc and a powertech but all I'm seeing no matter where I look are Shield Tech builds and Advanced Prototype builds and me being the kinda of player I am do not like cookie cutter builds or going with what's popular and thats the trend I'm starting to see. I love everything I see about the Pyrotech spec so thats the route I'm going to spend countless hours and credits on looking for a build that fits my play style one of the reasons I didn't link a build is because anything can look good on paper but is it actually going to apply to how you play? I'm just wondering am I alone wondering about this skill line and are there anymore Pyro's out there?

I always played as a merc but I love this class so much going to have to make 2 BH's, so trying to learn as much about tech's as I can before I get the ok to play.
