Powertechs the new FOTM overpowerd

These are jokes....right?

I'll agree with another poster and agree that Pyro Mercs suck just to stop THAT ball from rolling and getting us nerfed. I'm glad, as well, that the Rail Shot that I can't use tops 3k most of the time. Not bad for a skill I can't use.

The claim you are making is that the powertech can Railshot people for 10k every 3rd GCD.

This claim is false.

They cannot do this on a consistent basis. In fact the odds of getting a refresh are right about getting railshot refresh around every 5th GCD, this is NOT including the heat created by spamming railshot-procing abilities. When on a lucky streak you could hit 2 railshots within 6 seconds, on an unlucky streak you could easily run into high-heat trying to get a proc to happen.

Railshot / HIB does not hit for 10k, I have seen numbers around 4k with 1300 aim and 500 expertise. I suppose 5k is possible under perfect conditions with around 1500 aim.

The spec is a melee range DPS with low damage mitigation, and no exit strategy. If it didn't do good damage there would be no point in being one. You'd get a bunch of tanks running around pulling and rooting you instead, while taking no damage at all.

at lvl 11 you do already 2.5k with railshot....lol

When bolstered to level 49.

and specced for the armor pen

You cant even use railshot on a target that isnt dotted (it *requires* periodic effects to be on a target or its greyed out)..

Your looking at a 2.4-2.8k crit on Rocket and a 4.4k crit *at best* on Rail from those 2 moves..
Flame burst is like 600 or something pathetic.

The best "Pyro" burst comes from Merc/Pyro.. but even then its not 18k dmg in 3 hits

Max burst on a Merc is higher than a PT ...
Fusion/Incindiary/thermal/rail/unload/rail.. if it all crits and you get the 2nd rail proc, then its over 24k

That said nowhere near "3 attacks" and in totality takes 10.5 seconds to execute.... during which any decent Trooper healer would heal at least twice and survive easily...

As an aside...

If PT Pyro is so OP.... why aint you playing the Trooper equivalent of Pyro aka Assasult Specialist..because it stands to reason it is equally OP...

Trust me when i say this... as an Assault Spec youll outperform every gunnery spec grav spamming noob on the planet and do better in PVP at defending the objectives too..

...but with only rank 1

Clearly, you aren't the ever popular 31/31/31 spec. Respec to this and you should be golden.

the problem with OP was 6k+5k+3k+3k on 2 global cooldowns so it was as 17k on 3 second and all that time the dead was on the ground so they was nerfed.
btw with mine sniper i can do on that 4.5 second: snipe-followtrought-probe-ambush and that it is 2.5+3.5+3+5=14k
with the comando it is grav roundx3 and round and it is 3x3+5=11k
again with the shadow; clairvoyant strikex2+project and it is 2,5x2+4.5+2=11.5
so 11k on 4,5 second isnt overpower becasue every class that i have can do it

/facepalm
