BS. PT tank is weakest tank in PvP. Medals/kills don't matter. You get medals for dumb crap and you get kills for barely hitting something. I can take out a PT tank much faster then Jugg and esp Sin. Many ranked teams will run multiple Sin tanks cause of how good they are. Most won't even bring 1 PT tank and if they do It's just 1, not multiples.

What rank are these top ranked Pyro's? Just curious, most 2.2k+ pyros I know run the 7/3/31 and run 98% accuracy, cause if you miss with RS your biggest hitter, that's a huge drop in DPS. Also what's your crit chance? EDIT: BTW I believe you're wrong in the stack power over aim and saying aim shouldn't be above 1500. Aim>Power ESPECIALLY without 9% aim from ST tree. And it still is substained since aim gives to damage and crit. So all Augments should be aim. Obviously I agree all mods should be the 51aim/39 power since loosing 13 aim for 27 power is better, but I'm like 1615 unbuffed, 1915 with 6% aim/stim, I'm still unsure of your spec not having the 6-9% aim.

I'm surprised you guys didn't know. Maybe because you can do Ilum dailies now. Back in Beta/Dec begining of January (BTW this bug was reported in Beta and not fixed till Jan) if you choose Dark Side at end, you couldn't get the Ilum dailies. They then added the Ilum dailies in Jan, but never fixed the login screen issue. So I'm wondering if they will test this, cause they had to Manually add the Ilum quests for us. Gonna suck if xpac lands and we can't move forward.

OK so supposedly a new xpac is coming increasing lvl to 55. I'm assuming there is some story quests involved. I choose dark side option back in Dec when I leveled my BH which was bugged if you did that (meaning you couldn't get the Ilum dailies). Now BW has "fixed" the ilum issue but I still don't have an epilogue log in screen, it still says i'm on Chapter 3 even tho I'm finished. In the process of making this new story line, will they test for those of us "stuck" like this will be able to do our story quests day 1? or as I fear are we gonna have to ticket it and won't be able to story quest for a couple days.

I disagree, you get that 8 heat when rooted also. I've gone from 100% heat to 30% in a few seconds in PvP because of that. I take the 2 points in that over rapid venting. You do need 2 points in one or the other to go up the tree (i mean who really chooses degauss).

There is an AP sticky. Basically to do most DPS you go CGC but you're heat management is a *****. To not worry about heat but do a bit less dps, HEGC.

98% accuracy, 30% crit, 76% surge then aim>power by a little bit, so if you can trade said 1 aim to gain 1.2 power do that. Like I have all the 53aim/43 power (or w/e it is) over the 64 aim 12 power, now you do have to take into account the endurance loss but meh. 2 implants and 2 enhancements will get you 97.9% accuracy which is close enough to 98%, rest enhancements power/surge or crit/surge with the lower endurance. Again you have to decide if more endurance or not. Obviously if NORSE AP then no accuracy at all.

The hybird? Many threads on it. OK Max burst (because of TD/RS combo): http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#301hMbZ0cZfhrbdhGMs.2 in CGC Hybrid: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#301ZMsrrobfzZfhrbzh.2 in CGC (2 points in dam reduction can be put in reduced stun CD if you want) Some will also take 1 point out of PPA and put into CG. Straight AP whole sticky dedicated to diff specs, from NORSE to Max DPS in CGC.

Um spec into bursting flame and target is already on "fire" so your refunded 8 heat with RS, you don't need that and is wasted for DPS purposes.

No advice on pre 50 pvp gear/stat prioritization. You will be 50 soon enough just pvp'ing. As for Snipers/GS in HB. Kite around pillars on the fire you can LoS and make them stand up. If you don't see their cover mechanic you can Nueral then Grapple. Without HO they will just knock you back. I really dont' have an issue with them as Hybrid because of HO. They will tear you apart if you can't LoS, make them get up out of cover.

Who's to say what's best for you? Play what you enjoy. Even tho I believe that PT tanks are worst tank class for pvp, play it if you enjoy it. For dps, I love the Hybrid for PvP. I get HO/PFT and PPA. I don't get the 6%/9% aim, but meh. I won't hit 5k RS but i'll hit 4.2k. I'll crit 2.4k on my PFT on multiple targets. I can ball carry in a pinch, and when not ranked Ball Carry most of the time because of HO. For max Burst, 7/3/31 because TD with RS combo hits so hard. You will pump out the DPS for sure. AP straight up is OK. It's less DPS then either just because HEGC is terrible compared to CGC. You can run AP in CGC but the heat management in PVP is terrible. So I've played all parakeet (before it was rendered moot), Iron fist, Pyro, AP, Ap/Pyro, Tank. Graned most before 1.3. Each a week or 2 of games. And I loved AP pre 1.2 (always getting HB every match only reason), I loved Pyro always, and right now I love the Ap/Pyro hybrid.

Stupid jugg's, hate them. Yea why I like the Pub side HO, not as much notice when HO is popped.

Why when you jump to me i hit HO so your push doesn't work (depends on situation/map/etc) but yeah. It's the one hybrid spec I'm really loving. I used to parakeet and even tho it was decent, not like this hybrid.

Just an FYI, the 4pc PVP bonus is better then the PVE bonus, only about 1.1% (for just RS attacks) but still, for the Min/Maxer the PvP with Black Hole armoring would be better (since the aim/endurance is same from BH and Camp).

If you look there are many posts here regarding the Hybrid AP/pyro. YOu have choices, I wouldn't take a point out of PPA but that's me, I'd take it out of CG. You have a few points to move based on you're preference but the general spec is go up pyro enough for at least 2/3 ppa and HO in AP.
