Cilas Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hey all, check out the link below to watch a video of how it works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJugdySvuIg&feature=youtu.be Things I noticed up front: 1) You cannot right-click the loading buff off once you've activated the ability. 2) Once all missiles are loaded, you have 5 minutes to use them before they go away. Once all missiles have been used, the ability goes on cooldown. 3) It takes approximately 18 seconds to load all 4 missiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cilas Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Immediate thought..... they have a free damaging attack while cc'd, so it will be more challenging to cc cap a node on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldriq Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Seems like a lot of the new abilities are like that. Which is awesome to be able to do something while stunned the number one complaint I have had. I want to say thanks for doing all these videos just great that you are doing them so that we can at least know what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashogy_reborn Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 i was able to click the buff off to set it on cooldown after they had all loaded (i had been sitting at a node doing nothing and wanted to reset the cooldown). i did like it tho, especially being off the GCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tando-Fett Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Great explanation - LOL at firing it from while in Whirlwind. So if you don't deplete the last missile, the cannon won't go on CD for 1.5 min? What's the CD on each missile reload - 15-20 seconds? I don't have a Powertech, but this just got even more awesome.

Not sure I understand your question. the ability CD is 1.5 minutes. When it is clicked for the first time, you get two buffs. One buff 'loads' your missiles until you have four missiles. While loading, you can fire your missiles, as long as you have one to fire. the loading buff lasts about 18 seconds. so, approx 4 seconds to load a missile. You can only load a total of four missiles. The missiles themselves will stay loaded and ready to fire for around 4 minutes and 45 seconds. after that time, or when you use all of your missiles, the ability goes on cooldown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakmonster Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Very cool, thanks for the video. This should do wonders for AP's burst damage capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is no, you are never forced to fire the missiles. However, the missiles are on a 4:45 cooldown. So you either fire 4 missiles in that time and put it on cooldown, or you wait it out the 4:45 and it goes on cooldown anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cilas Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Can anyone with better gear provide insight on its damage output? Will it be worth anything to use in a rotation, or only usable when cc'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cilas Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 I got a chance to check this out with better gear and the damage is decent. Because it can be used while cc'd, it is primarily great for casting when you are stunned.. But it is also nice to add if your heat gets too high. Pt rotation stills seems to stem around flame burst, rail shot, and rocket punch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be worth anything to use in a rotation, or only usable when cc'd i crit someone for ~2k with one when i used it. so the damage is not too bad. seeing it is off the GCD, i see no reason to not use it if youre in heavy combat. if youre guarding a node tho, i wouldnt use it other than being CC'd, just in case you really need it.
