cool vid, you definitely know how to play the class well, your opponents are horrible and your healers are awesome I am curious why you use sonic-missle so rarely? especially with them in a big group? wouldn't it be a benefit to everyone to use this everytime its off cooldown for the damage reduction? also why don't you utilize grapple more often to pull the people off the doors and why do you use flame-sweep? I haven't really found a reason to use it yet, especially in PvP

I think you are giving up a TON of damage in favor of a pretty weak reduction in heat... You are dropping everything combustion so you can pickup a 8 drop / 6 seconds... you will use way more then that to make up the damage loss.

Just curious - since you've already gone so far up the AP tree, can you put points into Shield Vents in ST to kick in the Kolto perk? should result in you getting more health way more often If you are looking for a passive build I don't really understand why you are putting so many points into offensive skills. Pass on the ion, add High Energy and get the speed boost that Pneumatic boots gives you. Put more points into venting heat to kick in the Kotlto Vents to basically result in a constant life gain, your whole build is around NOT getting stunned, so it doesn't make much sense to have a 20% reduction in damage if you are not going to get stunned anyway.

Since 1.1 I've been having a ton of issues with my grapple, I'm not lvl 50 (42 or so) and don't have the stun but I would say it works fully about 1/2 the time. Most of the times when it fails it shoots out, wraps them up and then just nothing happens, often it will pull them but drop them somewhere in the middle.

Story trumps rules?

If I go straight damage I normally get 4 or 5. I never get the 2.5k hit but usually get the damage and kill medals and the quick kill. I easily get 3 or 4 more if I do some guard and taunting. keep in mind if you have a group of bad guys fighting and you drop a sonic missile in the middle you will get a medal pretty quick

eventually your opening attack will kill most of the mobs, but your primary role will be somewhere between a tank and DPS. Watch how fast your friends in their light armor get crushed by heavy hitting mobs and you will know where you place is as you level up the Pyro tree you start doing more damage as well. we never hit the same level as Sith Sorcs but we also don't have to hide in the back. You will primarily use Flame Burst, Rail Shot and Rocket Punch with random Incin Missles and Explo-dart thrown in adn then rapid shot when you get high heat

I really thought about that when I got paid out for killing him... his bounty was like 5k

back points out of the pyro tree and get to second tier Shield and get a 9% AIM increase and the 16% armor bonus. Hot iron gives you a +6% bonus to Flame Burst, but you can get a +6% to ALL fire in Shield, the improved canister really isn't that good something like this would probably work fairly well http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#301hMhMZrZfhMrzGhMM.1 just a suggestion. If you really want the detonator you can rework it to get there but its really not that amazing compared to what a superheated rail will do, plus you get Rails for free. A flameburst + canister + all the fire damage addons will hit hard and its an instant. Thermal Det is a stronger version of Explosive Dart and shares the cooldown, so you use either or, plus its single target, explo-dart is multi target and it knocks back all hit enemies.

I think its the shield mechanic that is broken to be honest. It seems like they built it and went this will be great for tank/defense! then they forgot that almost every attack bypasses it and then they went combine that with heavy armor and these guys will be like juggernauts but with fire instead of force! then they made abilities that negate and bypass our armor completely. and then they tweaked damage and dropped BH down

yeah your experience mirrors mine. The amount of CC and slows that some of these classes have is just amazing. I've started getting that magical stun dart a lot lately, I think it comes from smugglers and ops?, that and the sound stun last forever but we do have grappling hook , sadly I've had a ton of issues with it not working lately

So do combust cyl DOT stack with Incin missile DOT? I've never seen it happen

The best is when you get 3 - 4 commendation from random mob drops on the way TO the mission then your reward is 2500 credits and 1 commendation - You never get credits up front or for any "in dialog" options that I have found... ie: Kill this worm for me... type stuff, unless you have to go elsewhere and get a full mission for it you won't get anything... and Mako doesn't share in my blood lust

turning off ALL her attacks and setting her in Med mode will make a huge difference, they finally fixed the re summoning issue where her crap would all turn back on randomly, now she stays at a healer. All I have to say is after dealing with companions in Skyrim... i LOVE my companions in this! hahah

Does anyone know which DOTs stack, if any and if not how is it determined which DOT is active? for example if I use Incin Missile and blaster w/ Ion cyl. do the 2 DOTs stack or does one replace the other? Will multiple Incins stack or just renew the timer?
