Vanguard/Powertech shared tree BURST is OP

there is no doubt, atm pyro powertech > all
been testing this for almost 4 hours now

same gear, better gear, lower gear...

not to mention even totally naked pyrotech hits 8k burst on 700 expertise full battlemaster player..

powertech pyro tree needs lil bit balance

What have you been smoking?

How much are you bursting for in your gear? I haven't really seen a problem with pyrotech burst.


And it's 8k over how many seconds? Obviously they aren't hitting for that in one hit.

Here we go... Someone go out played by a powertech and is crying nerfs wah wah

gosh darnit ! <--- pretty sure I didn't type that. More deity aligned and more eternal damnation inferred.

I start the game with a scoundrel, was a scrapper, nailed to cross. I will admit a brief feeling of vanity when I completely ice a bad player and feel like I become the guy that everyone thinks of when they are writing their nerf operative/scoundrel threads.

So in a calculating fashion I get on my commando, pvp a bit, I got tired of the grav round obvious spam is obvious. Its like a beacon, see that line, follow it, kill the fool at the end of it. So I switch to assault, more mobility, more survivability, I love it, I hate sitting there and casting, never did it with my scrapper. Immediately saw success. Also immediately got the feeling I got on my scoundrel when I tooled on a bad/undergeared player.

Needless to say, I am seeing a trend when as soon as I do something, I find a nerf thread for it specifically later that day. Scoundrel, Adrenals, Pure Frozen Shock Water, Assault tree... Bad Karma man...

Wow that's extensive. Bioware should pay attention.

how about the merc shared tree?

Naked bounty hunters...bah, the galaxy is in shambles...

Marauders are still better in a 1v1.

I play a vanguard (assault spec) ya we might have high burst vs equally geared, and very high burst vs low geared targets, but what you say there is a lie, vs battle-master geared people and my 560 or so expertise i rarely get over 2.7k crits, so whatever you are smoking please pass it along.

What you clearly do not understand as a Vanguard/Powertech full dps spec we sacrifice virtually all our survivability, our survivability comes from killing targets before they kill us, while other classes have "Get out of jail free cards" be it vanish/force speed etc etc, we have 1, 25% damage reduction for 12 seconds, once that goes we are free frags for any team with half a brain.
