Dont believe me hop over to my server and ask around there are only 2 good PTs on the server shouldnt be hard to find. But lets put this in perspective for you guys. Fully CD popped I run in pop incendiary missile on someone and then thermal detonator before they know I am there becaude they have no initial damage, then I light them up with a rail shot for 4.5k min on full BM targets then thermal detonator explodes for about 4k meanwhile my incendiary missile has ticked 3 times at 1.2k each (3.6k) then I flame burst for 1600 which ads another dot that ticks for about 1k and the flame burst procs another rail shot for 4.5k

TLDR the opening burst befor you see us (25m range) is 12k min then by the time you see us we are in our 4-10 flamr burst range and its another 6-8k before you have time to react. Realistically what you are seeing is all of this happeming within 3gcds but it is actually longer.

PTs are OP yes, bit so is virtually every class in the game when the time to kill a player is less than five seconds. It is not fun in any way....

Try playing an Operative.

Powertech Pyros. You don't see Mercs being able to pump out that much damage without channeling.

That's true, forgot about that. We do get heavy armor, but we don't get shields or cleanses.

I think the thing that pushes ops over in terms of survivability is you have stealth. I'd still give the edge in terms of survivability to OPs but to be totally fair, I've never played one so I could be way off base.

This guy knows what he's talking about. More Pyro PT's who actually know what they're doing please post and not these gimped Pyro PT's who don't know how to use utilize their abilities.

He must have trained Incendiary Missle a few ranks higher then me (Maybe he is a few expansions past this one that nobody else has) to get 1.2K hits on the ticks of it...
