Yes, one on one I can probably win my fair share, but you obviously know its never that easy. The Inc missile dot doesn't proc railshot, so you have to get into 10 m range to flameburs if you hope to clear the c/d. I use thermal detonator all the time but it never seems to do much damage. If I do sart to win a fight, it seems like every class has a way to ge clear of me, be it fleeing, or knocking back, and in huttball that normall means out of LOS, and I have no means of pursuit, less grapple, which is just frustraing if their resolve bar is already filled or it's on c/d.

Which two really good stuns are those? Also, with your attempt to get railshot procs, you could easily overheat and be worth next to nothign until you can vent, or you bleed it back down to 50% which takes forever because of the stupid mechanic that decreases heat dissipation.

Pyro PT is very, very powerful. A well played one is right on par with a well played op or mara.

most i´ve got as pyro merc is around 6.2k with thermal det. and rail shot combo on a target with less than 100pts of expertice thou my gear is mostly orange thanks to my great success with champ bags so i´d imagine with bm set or rakatas mid 7k´s would be achievable...

Yes Inc Missle allows you to shoot rail shot. Try it out..

Rail Shot
Instant
Heat: 16
Cooldown: 15s
Range: 30 m
Fires a very powerful shot at the target that deals 1404 - 1591 weapon damage. Only usable against incapacitated targets and targets suffering from periodic damage.

Carbonized Steam + Electro Dart are the 2 really good stuns. And it's not that hard to get railshot procs when you have approx a combined 50% proc chance from the 2 abilities. The problem is simply railshot just hits for too much to be allowed to be used back to back. I've seen them crit me(vs equal expertise @ 2/5 rakata + rest Champion PVP) for 4.8k With expertise adrenals/buff and power/surge trinket you can see ridiculous numbers w/ it.

I have a friend who logs on his sorc in the Leia outfit and dances on a mailbox for hours while trolling general chat. Therefore all sorcs are surely dancing trolls.
LOL! I do the same thing as your friend and im a sorc! You are right, all sorcs are dancing trolls.

Carbonize is currently broken if you wear the Powertech PvP set just so you know.

you don't NEED to wear the PT set. Last i checked you can still wear the merc set which gives the same stats.
