Pyrotech fire damage OP!

More like cut those numbers in half.

2 classes that will melt-burst you in high-end PVP gear are Pyrotechs and Snipers.

and sorcs have it the worst by far. i am in 1100 expertise and regularly have them do 60% of my health in 2 attacks. it is unhealable and uncounterable dmg, but i guess that is the world that we live in.

Pyros just do their railshot/thermal detonator and if stacked at the same time, thats back to back 4k-5k crits which is at least 50% of my health.

as for snipers, they have like snipe or ambush, i dunno sniper that well, but with follow-through it is back to back 3.5k/4.5k on light armor sorcs. which is also unrecoverable dmg in almost all situations.

I have full bm gear and the highest my detonator and rail shot ever crit is around 4k. The other day I got a detonator/rail shot double crit for like 3300/4100 and was pretty pumped. I was like, Whoa! look at the big numbers! So the idea that we're running around putting out that damage all the time is ridiculous.

Vanni: One crazy dude on our server. He plays his class good and puts out amazing damage. What really gets me is that all his damage is instant without coming even close to overheating until the final seconds of the match.

we do good sustained damage, but anyone can kill us. we get a 15% heal that takes 10 seconds, and 25% damage redux for 12 seconds. if you were to give us something like a 99% damage redux and in combat stealth that would be pretty OP.

+1

It is very easy to kill a pyrotech even if he has a heavy armor which reduces damage by 30% (for a marau, it 's 25%...).

I give you my 5% extra armor against a 5 s god mod or a stealth.

Watch my linked PvP vid above. 750k in a match, next closest person was around 250k. I'm a dirty fighting gunslinger and I go up against him all the time. If I put out 550k dmg a match, he'll put out 750k damage in the same match even if the game is a stale mate and he dies more than me.

I only got to watch a little bit of it, because I'm at work, but the thing I noticed right away is he has a pocket healer who's completely focusing on only him :P (He might even have 2 healers, I wasn't able to see).

Voidstar is an amazing map for powertechs because we have a lot of AOE, throw in a pocket healer and that's going to be a wrecking ball always. I know on my PT I can hit 400k without a pocket healer. My record being something like 500k. There's no down PTs do a lot of damage, especially if they have someone watching their back to compensate for how squishy they are.

that's sick, game is dead for me : P

DoTs hurt, but I think the OP isn't familiar at all with what he's talking about.
