I agree completely. The fact that all someone has to do is interrupt tracer missile once to throw off your whole rotation is frustrating. Thank you for the reply. Any advice on rotation, stats, etc. for a new pyro merc? I'm going to respec today when I get home.

Don't use incendary missle like you used tracer. Its a 25 heat cost ability. It also has a dot component so spamming it will do minimal damage and max your heat in 6 seconds. Your most powerful attack is fusion missile. It costs 33 heat so be mindful before you cast it. Your vent heat is on a 90 second timer now which will help with this.

Rapid Shots: They are twice as poweful in this spec and can also trigger the dot from your combustible gas cylinder. Use this more often than you did in Arsenal.

Rail Shot: With the 15% extra crit from the 4pc PVP bonus this is a very powerful ability. Unload and powershot can refresh this ability so keep this in mind.

Fusion Missile - Incendary missle - Rail Shot - Unload (refreshes rail shot) - Rail shot. This will take down anyone unless they react to it fast. Use vent heat afterward.

The key to killing people with this spec is using the deceptiveness of your DOTs to surprise them. If you open with Fusion and Incendary, then by the time you hit railshot you have 2 ots on them plus the dot from your combustible gas cylinder which is also snaring them. If Unload-another rail shot doesn't finish them off you can rapid shots/power-shot/or use your uppercut punch/shoulder slam to finish them.

Don't be so picky about heat as you were in Arsenal. Better to finish the person off and have to spam rapid-shots for a bit. Rapid shots is fairly powerful especially since its proccing the dot from your cylinder.
