Pyrotech fire damage OP!

If you play on a low pop server that is not a good reflection of game balance. If you want to play on a server with balanced classes, roll on a high pop server. That is your own fault.

And guess what? I play a DPS class. That means I do damage. Every DPS class has a way to do a crap ton of damage in a short amount of time.

I do not comprehend why people complain about DPS classes doing DPS. Though I guess it makes sense, since you all complained about healing classes healing. I imagine complaining that tank classes can tank is coming up shortly?

Are you comparing the Damage capacity of a Tank spec Jug to the Damage capacity of a DPS spec PT?

If youre tank spec your not supposed to do 12k damage in 4 seconds. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO MITIGATE DAMAGE

Force Choke buffs Smash. A Rage spec'd Jugg needs to get full duration out of Force Choke to get the maximum damage bonus to Smash.

Awe is an aoe MEZ. it is supposed to break on damage, just like every other mez in the game....

Marauders and juggs have enough tools to do their job and do it well. So do mercs and powertechs. They are apples and oranges however, as one is ranged and the other melee. There is very little comparison between the 2 specs other than their overall function. So comparing their abilities like they are supposed to match up is idiotic; the similarities end beyond "tank" or "dps"

Someone else was... and I was pointing out the ridiculousness of it.

At least I admit I didn't know about the BH stuff and learned from you guys.

anywayz thou... thanks for the info.. keep on keepin on! Here's to hoping for less qq and more
pew pew... and please

p.s. also for the last time... Im not saying your OP/need nerfs etc... I leave that up to the rest of the community (god save u) and the Dev's

too much to read - - - - wow . . . :wea

I play shadow dps and i kill them in fair 1v1 fight. But when the healers get in the shadow dps cant simply keep up and lose in the end. Why? Because Shadow opening burst is insane ( i do 15k dmg in 5 sec-counting here the rotation) but after GCD you lack in either mobility or utility. I prefer a nerf for my class, i prefer less burst when i open a fight but that burst too be constant all the way after. Atm shadow infiltration is working from turbo mode to frog mode. From hi speed to slow motion.
Constant dps is far beter in WZ and long fights then a short burst damage. The dmg shadows/asasins put when they open a fight is OP and need nerfed but the dmg they sustain after is LOL and need huge buffs.
Regarding pirothech they put insane dps in long fights and this need a closer look. Like sentinels need a closer look too.
This is my opinion. I dont call for nerf but for balance. On my realm infiltration is a rarity. We are only 2-3 max . While tanks are all over the places. Cause they are far beter. In dps and survivability.

The spec has electrodart and Carbonize. I can't think of a combo that a pyrotech can do that can deal 16k in 2.5 seconds (4 second stun, minus 1.5 seconds for the global). The most damage I could possibly see you taking given all crits would be a 4k TD, a 5k railshot, with a 900 Combustable Gas proc off railshot.

It's a lot of damage, given some good favor by the RNG gods with a relic/adrenal popped, but that's not 16k. You had to have been hit by something else.

I'd disagree. Especially with your point about maurader. They get more CDs, on shorter CDs, that are more potent...

Juggs get the same amount of CDs, but their CDs are better. In my opinion, blade ward > Energy shield (though it's close) and last stand is WAAAAAY better than kolto overload. I wouldn't even consider that CD survivability. It's not even keybound for me, I click it when I have nothing else going on.

That move would have some potential, actually, to give the class some survivability. Maybe tone down the damage and buff Kolto for Pyrotechs. Something to make them not get bent over.

In a very long line of needed nerfs, bounty hunters is far down on that list. Lets be honest.

They are comparable for being melee classes. Awe is broken on damage, Carbonize is not as it is a stun. Tranq dart is a 30 or 35 range 4 second stun and can be used in many more different scenarios because of that. Since we're talking about CC abilities the fact that you mentioned that Force Choke"buffs their other abilities" makes no difference as we're only referring to the stun portion of the ability, which is a channeled ability for 3 seconds that can only be used from a 10m range... and just looking at the CC part of it, it is not better than Tranq Dart.
