Also it seems very indeferent if you pick Steely Resolve, Prototype Cylinders or BurnOut, cause they differ only in few (< 10 dps). Though everyone should spec in a way, to best support their operation.

Moreover the sheet approved that power is after aim our best secondary stat, too.

Let's all not forget that the game takes place in the game and a simulator takes place on paper. I think it's well established at this point that pyro/assault does more dps on paper and prototype/tactics is easier to execute in-game to match its paper dps.

There's little point arguing about whether tactics needs a buff until we have a combat log and people can truly compare for themselves which one works better for them in the game. By the time we get the combat log, we're also going to get more UI customizability to make pyro/assault less of a chore.

Personally, my main spec is tank. When I'm not needed to tank and we're short dps, I run tactics, because it plays almost exactly like tank spec, and allows for greater awareness. The dps checks aren't very hard to overcome in this game, so the raid is more likely to win if I have greater awareness than if I had 5-10% more dps.
