So poweretech dps in pvp....

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LVL 50 NOW!!! so lower level expiriences are useless

700 damage on flame burst

3000 damageon railshot which is on COOLDOWN!!!

1300 damage of thermal detonator.... which is again on COOLDOWN....

1250 damage on unlaod WHICH IS AGAIN ON COOLDOWN....


Now lets think that msot 50 characters are from 16000-19000....

Discuss how not viable poweretech is on pvp as a DPS, and afail all classes are supposed to have dps capabilities which poweretech clearly lacks....Plus our armor is weak without the special tank skill which destroys your weak dps even more

This is a L2P situation. Well played PTs have good damage and are very hard to kill.

sorry but this damage i nowhere near good and l2p doesnt increase stat damage only cheating does...

PT's are fine. Mine is anyways. Even before lvl 50 he was fine.

pt are fine they are one of the more equally balanced class along with the jugg/maurader/sniper/shadow their damage is perfect (not to high not to low) if they were to get a buff the will be overpowered so this post is kinda irrelevant and is a l2p situation sorry

As an assassin in FULL pvp dps gear (11% expertise) and a tank spec I hit normal thrashes for maybe 1000 if it double crits, shocks are about 1500, assassinates (under 30% hp) can maybe crit for about 3000.

The only time any real dps comes out is if you stack 3 abilities to charge force lightning, then use trinket, adrenal and crit cooldown to maybe do 6k total damage over the course of a channeled ability. Normally it might do 3k, all in a 10m range.

Oh, and if I want to spec for dps I have to leave the tank charge (stance) and then I am left with no damage reduction ability other than a 3 second ability to block attacks and light armor. That means every ability that any other class has hits me for 90%-100% full damage with no reduction. It is why you see so many complaints about assassins being forced into dark charge (tank stance) to pvp, which negates putting points into anything other than the tank tree.

Powertechs, no matter how specced or what stance they are in get to keep heavy armor. They get to keep grapple, which is the most powerful ability in huttball and still extremely powerful in other WZ's.

Powertechs also get to keep ranged abilities and a bubble that stacks with their heavy armor.

So basically you either need to gear up or learn your class better. The powertech is THE BEST overall class in pvp right now. Good damage absorption, good damage output from melee and ranged and good utility.

they do need a buff in damage so they can have a dps spec... currently we can only be TANKS and some weak tank with weak damage.... they need increase in their elemental damage attacksa to be able to compete well with others....

also juggs are op since they have many cc, good damage

marauders are fine but need to be nerfed with less survability and escape

and sniper needs a buff because he dies immidiately if they focus fire or ambishedd by stealthd classes

also shadows is balanced but need to make it better like increase survability and decrease dps

Nice feeling when other classes hiting you for 300-900 ?
Compare Your class to Operative. Im 700 expertise and i hit 50% of Your dmg while i dont have same amout of HP/Shields/Survivability. Anyway Powertech can hit me for 3k+.

So! 3 QQ treads created by the op in less than a hour. Sheer win!

I play PT, valor 55, and I have zero issues with dps and thats when I am specced into ST/pryo

When I am fullpyro, standby for 500K+

Im sorry but this is a L2P issue, change up your rotation or something
