Letsjet Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) I know what parsley shows, but are vanguards & power techs that bad in boss fights? I saw 1 post a while ago mention that they were fantastic in nightmare runs, but I don't know why. I'd like to level my tactics vanguard as a dps, but i don't want to be crippled to half damage of every other dps and plasmatech vanguard is fine too Edited February 23, 2021 by Letsjet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithBracer Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Lol. look at the starparse records for accurate numbers. Vanguards are #1 on almost all hm bosses in dps. http://ixparse.com/rating/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideblaze Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 PT performs poorly on dummies, but they're pretty much gods in most 'real' fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdjeYo Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 PT's have multiple ways where taking damage makes you deal damage, which all disappear on dummy parses. They are very capable in boss fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulWolle Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 If you want fight performance look at fight parses. The dummy parse is nice to cmpare your ability to play the class,but that is all. On starparse you can also check operation parses for every single boss and pt is the top dps in like 80%+ of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letsjet Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Nice. Hard numbers that validate what I've heard in passing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power yield on a dps alone gives 2-10% more damage for a long time as long as you keep taking hits, and Sonic Rebounder is a major cheat ability if timed right (Corruptor Zero's Gravity field is a great opportunity to deal all the hurt from an otherwise helpless teammate back on that bucket of bolts!)
