    PvP Team Videos

    Not watches videos but you say I must be bad because of my class?? You think that by being obnoxious and a genral *** to Pyrotechs that bioware will nerf this class that you do not like . Im sure they have alot more informed stats on what is balanced or not. Also If you have a Pyrotech as you say, you will know that we are glass cannons that have very little utility and next to no mobility to speak of... Thankyou for reminding me why I barely post on these forums and why they are viewed as the home of trolls and angry little nerds. I know there are alot of good guys that read these threads, its just a shame that many threads posted with best intentions get trolled.
  2. After reading the first response to this thread I kinda just rolled my eyes and thought typical, I should of known better than to post on here.... this is the reason many people dont post on forums, but I want to say thankyou to you guys expessially Lorcen, for your very nice reply. I did want to post more defensive / objective based Powertech videos as with rated warzones comming I belive that this is a better way to play. It is easy enough as a Pyro Powertech to do alot of damage and solo kills and there are al ton of those type of videos allready. As I said in my original post, I am trying to convert my guilds PvP mentality into more objective based. You probabily noticed them running off and leaving me alone to guard when It was clear (if you look and be aware) that we were about to be attacked. You may of also noticed I was calling East in chat when i was guarding West, PvP experiance tells you that when reinforcements stop attacking your point, ofc they are going else where... In the Hutball video I decided to add notes to my thought pattern during the game, the guys in my guild seemed to like this eventhough to regular PvPers most would be common sense I know, but it gives you an idea of my thoughts during game. The biggest thing I try and do is not be drawn into fighting needlessly to often and to always be looking around or getting position. @Lorcen Thx for nice words. Yes, I tell my bountyhunter guildies "rapidshots is your friend, learn to love it!" It actually makes a huge difference to your heat management. I see many BH's on full heat and they are easy kills every time. I also think that rapid shots is undervalued for damage. I can use it for free and do around 900damage+ proc CGC or I can use something like flameburst that costs 16heat and only does 1100damage.. I dont think the priority that some Powertechs give heat generating abilities should be as high as it is at all. Ofcourse FB does more damage but just because it is spammable doesnt mean it actually is spammable!!! Also the only times I regualarly use Unload is in voidstar, I tend to play with as much range as possible in here to avoid dieing and protect our doors longer. I use LoS and the pillars alot and only run out to rocketpunch for a rail proc then fire that as I get back to somthing like cover. Grapple there healers to me and shut them down also. I will give unload a try in a few other warzones more and see how it goes and let you know. It isnt an ability that would be on my PvE rotation but i can see the use for it in warzones for sure. As for the "Use Hotkeys" comment. Yes i do allready use many hotkeys, and I also have core abilities bound to my mouse. I do click somethings also though, but dont see the issue with this and I do move abit using my keyboard to strafe, though if I need to turn or spin fast this is done using mouse turning as yes it is alot more effective. My closest and most used keybinds are mostly abilities that need quicker reaction times, like F-interupt. C-ccbreak, X-grapple, R-shield, \-kolto, Fkeys at top for medpacks and cooldowns ect. I belive skills that that an aim recticle are essential to keybind as the time saved is massive, for example I have DeathfromAbove on V and pass hutball on B. I find these easy to reach and being able to instantly press and aim essential to playing hutball. One thing I dont understand is the elitism and mockery that people seem to feel they need to press on others for there control methods. What works is whatever that person can effectively use. So DaFanG, you may of been correct if you saw a click or two but all in all i dont belive I am any less efficent or effective because of this and primarlily I do use mousebinds and keybinds. Thankyou for watching the videos and i will try and get some more onto the channel if you wish to see more.

    PvP Team Videos

    Bumped as looking for feedback =D
  4. Im a Pyro Specced Powertech on Hydianway server EU. I am a keen pvper(warlord) and have recently been made pvp officer for my guild. The guild I am currently in Aeon are ranked no2 acording to guildprogress in PvE. I am currently trying to turn these PvE carebears into a good PvP team. I have started making some videos that I would like to share and get some constructive feedback. I added some thoughts in the Hutball 2part video i did which my guild seemed to like and there is also a Civil war video up so far aswell. I am currently trying to get my players to see the value of playing objectively and not chasing kills, something which consistently you will see. Any advice or feedback is welcome and if i can help answer some things I will try my best also. Hope you enjoy the videos http://www.youtube.com/user/BjCpowertech/featured

  6. Damage isnt a problem. Cooldowns are yes. It is to good that a Mara/Sent can pop cooldowns and solo defend a door or turret until his team respawns and there is very little that you can do to stop it from happening. It is overpowered. The most annoying thing is when they use "godmode" and get healed whilst taking no damage.... I think not only should it cost them 50% hp but also make them unable to recieve heals for that duration in pvp.
  7. This would be a nice feature
  8. I hit 5.4k on a guy that obviously couldnt be bothered to buy the recruit set and get any expertise. I also think he was a Sage without his shield up. I am full Battlemaster with Warhero blaster and 1200 ish expertise.
  9. I ask, seen as both of them are a 98 power loss compared to the Battlemaster Eliminator blaster.....
  10. Im about to buy my Warhero blaster.. but i noticed we now have the option of a Combat-Tech or Eliminator blaster with different stats. I think this is the case on bracers ect also.. Which blaster you guys going for?
  11. For clarity. Are your stats including the Aim talents in the shield tech tree Exphryl? thanks
  12. More people should do this! Then bioware may realise and say hey! powertechs are wearing mercenary gear?? I hate that we have to dress like tracer spammers to get the best gear! Has there been any tests vs combattech and eliminators enhancements/mods? As we all know the 4set bonus is better but is the set stats better for us on one or the other. Ie we get a combat tech belt ect now.. Sorry to go off topic as i know this is a pve thread
  13. Nice write up man GJ! Im sticking with pyro for the time being, really wish IM was only 16 heat or somthing to make life in pvp alittle easier though. Going to have a play with my mods as you have and see if i see an improvement... I definately feel i am doing less damage as im not hitting the high numbers i was before. I guess its down to no more squishy targets. Though with a 23% damage bonus i would of thought i should be able to break 5k.. I havent yet QQ On a side note... I am getting blown away by the good Sentinels and Guardians facing me atm. I dont feel even in this fight anymore... what gives!?!
  14. My Death from above felt pretty useless tonight. Its usually awesome in Voidstar and civil war when many are grouped up. Its radius now is very small... and only usefull if people do not move at all!! Ofc this never happens! I missed or hit 1 maybe 2 people on most of my casts. They move out 2 steps and they avoid all damage. The damage now doing an extra tick so the numbers are smaller.... But so small it is ridiculous! I had 386, 386 , 386 fly up before the guys moved out of range in voidstar on one attempt.. this is crazy! The biggest number i have seen tonight is around 800 ish on a tick. Ok i have alot less aim now in my pvp set, so that could explain low numbers.. But.. where is my 23% Damage bonus to players from expertise! Is this not working?
  15. Snipers with cooldowns available vs powertech with cooldowns available... Sniper usually has easier time. We cant interupt you, we cant grapple you close. You can absorb damage with shield probe, you can evade damage with evasion, you have 20% less damage taken with balistic shield, you cant be CC'd when you fortify your cover, you have numerous knockbacks which can also root, you can aoe CC and you can dehibilitate. How can i do damage to you? All the while you can do serious damage to me at range. But.... I agree, there are alot of bad snipers that dont use the tools they have got.
