I just rolled a BH, level 5 now but I can't figure out what I will go at level 10, so while I level, I'd like to know which is better for pvp, assuming both are pyro spec'd.

 

Some notes:

I don't want to tank or heal in pve, so regardless of my choice, it won't be based on the class hability to heal or tank. I'd use CGC with either class, so I don't plan to guard people in pvp either.

 

Survivability, I assume both would have about the same, right? Not going to use shield on the offhand because it doesn't proc with CGC.

 

Mobility vs Range, I understand that mercenary have to stop to cast while powertechs just uses instant 10m long abilities. Is the 30m range far superior in pvp?

 

Damage output, who has better burst?

Pyrotech wise, Your going to want to go Powertech. Why? Read the OP in this thread - http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=230367 Edited January 25, 2012 by Zuesy
