Stop making unnecessary attention to Pyrotech. Mercs finally have a spec that puts them up there with others and people start clammering buff it more and others say nerf it. Leave it alone. These new Arsenal changes will be nice. It will help remove the RNG from the spec and make it much more viable. Plus there is a lowered amount of heat for rail shot. During Parses the biggest thing I found to cause your parse to be lower is the lack of barrage procs. Now it will proc consistently.

Missile Blast has limited use. In Arsenal Spec its only needed if you are running/transitioning and you want to continue DPSing. IE: First Boss of SNV. You have HSM, Railshot, Explosive Dart, Rapid Shots, Tracer Missile with instant cast buff or Missile Blast. So when those are all on CD then Missile Blast is nice. Also, when there are adds near it will hit them too so extra DPS on the move. As for Pyrospec, If you talent into it you can make missile blast have 100% chance to proc your Combustible Cylinder and put a dot on the target. Also, same applies as above for moving. One extra thing you can do, if you are low on heat, if you have more than one target; you can switch targets and missile blast them which does decent damage and applies the DOT from pyrospec, then switch back to your main target. This allows for extra DPS gain because your cylinder DOT will be on two targets.

How do you survive? 1) L2P: I mean this because you need to know the ins and outs of your class. Know your rotation, know your surviving abilities, ccs, stuns, aoes, etc. a) look up guides on how to play the class b) look up parses to see how you can hit harder c) figure out how to gear your character 2) Pull 1 group at a time. Those of us who are good at playing know not to pull multiple groups on accident because you can die easily, definitely in the heroic area. 3) Use the right companion - I prefer my healer because its non stop pulling. 4) Make sure your companion is geared. If you are rocking old gear, check the gtn for level 50-54 greens, blues, purples, etc. Or get some 66 gear by running CZ-198 Dailies because they will also work for your healer too. 5) AOE*** - Being a Slinger/Sniper you have the best AOE in the game. drop a flyby Strike on the group and most will die. Focus your fire on the strongs and elites while the oribital kills the standards and weak mobs. 6) Learn from your mistakes. If you get rolled by something learn different techniques to kill it. 7) Ask for help. Someone might help you. Bottom Line this daily zone is not an elitist zone for high end gamers. Its a place to earn 66 gear, basic coms for relics, and money. You could also run some TFB and SNV SM raids to get 69/72 gear.

There are many roles in Starfighter. I personally think that if someone got 30 kills in a match they are probably just focusing lower health ships and taking them out. But a kill is a kill. I usually sit towards the top in many matches. I use my scout and get 2-6 kills, 6-10 assists and a lot of objective points(100-180). The key to winning is to not dog fight away from the nodes. Don't let the enemy easily grab a node or kill your turrets while you are chasing down a kill. Also call out a plan or your route at the beginning so everyone can stage appropriately. Learn to navigate the small areas, when I get someone on me, I can usually survive longer or cause them to self destruct because they couldn't fly through the tough areas.

Starfighter is fun. It can be intense. I personally play a scout and find it fun when I get 4 Kills 8-10 assists, 3-4 deaths and tons of objectives. Gunships hate me. Sure you like to sit far and snipe, until I find you. If you get that many kills on a gunship the team he was facing obviously were not communicating. Even if the gunship gets away or gets his team to help him, my objective is complete. The goal is to protect the node, capture, dogfight, assist, etc.

Pre Patch: 1) Zero would throw the mine at someone with no cast bar or verbal indication, it just happened and you needed to run to the boss. Patch Notes: Corruptor Zero: In Hard Mode, Corruptor Zero's "Concussion Mine" ability now fires at the proper intervals, and there is less of an increase in damage dealt by additional stacks of the ability. After Patch 1) Zero will target someone and cast Concussion Mine and add a non stacking debuff to someone's bar, still doesn't appear to have a a verbal cue as well. 2) These debuffs add up to which can make it difficult for anyone else in the raid to see when one person has 6 of them on them. 3) Zero would throw the mine at someone with no cast bar or verbal indication, it just happened and you needed to run to the boss. Conclussion: BioFail - Its the same fight as pre patch but now you try to trick us.

Its not even that bad. I have two of them already. Took about 200 lures and yeah you get attacked from time to time but its not that bad. 2 tauns in less that 24 hrs tells me they didnt make it hard enough. Some other games make you farm much harder content for longer periods of time. buck up....

Wow. Some people just expect to wake up the day of a patch and have things just handed to them. There are three ways to get the taun taun. Get 15 Data - Very simple - You will use about 100 lures to get 15-20 datas. Thats 100 clicks of the baby taun. OMG THATS SO MUCH AND IT WILL TAKE SO LONG.... Buy the Datas off the Vendor - 100k a piece - OMG THATS SO MUCH MONEY Buy the Datas off people who are selling for 50-80k through General Chat. OMG THATS TOO MUCH MONEY AND I HAVE TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE SELLING.... ***Insert thumb in mouth***
