While the mathwork is appreciated, one small detail is that the 3% bonus to internal and elemental damage with Protoype Cylinder is while using the High Energy cylinder (for Advanced Prototype/Tactics). Pyros/Assault would be receiving the one that gives +3% Tech crit.. which could be just as valuable, in the long run.

I find myself agreeing still. The three points you use by not taking Thermal Det and Automated Defenses all get out into very valuable DPS boosting skills in the other trees lower tiers.

RE: Rate my spec thread
To compare the 31 Pyro spec versus the 28 in Pyro spec, you have to compare what is gained/lost:

4/6/31:
Some amount of time off the dps cooldown of no heat added to next attack
TD adding X dps over ED

7/6/28:
2% more fire damage
6% aim

PROT spec
http://db.darthhater.com/skill_calc/boun...ef2efe2f21
(2 points in flame barrage can be change to Iron fist for more dps)
Pvp spec:
-10 sec reduc cooldown for grapple
-4%reduc all damage (equivalent expertise VS dps)
-Huge cc pool + double kick
-4% reduc debuff mono+aoe
-20% reduc accuracy aoe

What you wanna do with it:
ever go in WZ with a healer buddy (lol)
switch your guard
debuff ALL (flame/aoe flame/taunts)
focus on interrupt/cc healers

Gear:
my advice is to use the tech BM 4 parts and not go over 500 expertise (4% dmge reduc) and to put no tank parts but the offhand
From all the tests I did
My healer becomes GOD, ennemies dmge are so lowered they switch on you all the time allowing you to burst them,mobility is just....YEAH BABY!
so far the best spec I enjoyed playing with mates

PS: heat is tricky because you're always alive and doing something so you might wanna keep the 2 points in Flame barrage

Our mercenaries have been using http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#300Rc0...rdRkfzZb.1 for about 3 weeks now with much success. Heat management can get iffy if you get RNG screwed, but that's what vent heat is for.

RE: Rate my spec thread
PvE/PvP spec no need to change click here

Hello, first time poster, real quick. i took the supposed tops dps spec which does amazing "7/6/28" but i didnt want to have to respec for PVP and instead i have been min/maxing the stats on my gear and toys i have to use. so on to the importent part

so this spec is based towards beneficial effects for not just me but the people im around. combust giving an additional 4% damage cut that works for 15 seconds not its just me and omg flamesweep once in a heavy group and you win. and it also has sweltering heat x2 so you can make sure everyones really slow and can max out everyones aoe time while their weak. only problem i have with this spec is lack of ability to break CC but it is a heavy hitting DPS spec its modeld after one of the better specs.

situational rotations
round 1
IM>Rail>FB>pewpewpew
round 2
RP>(Rail if its up) FB> unload

Bonus round!
i like to run in and be a solid distraction for the enemy so that my team can get done what ever they need to do. this is where the damage reduction and slow comes in super handy

run in shield>flamesweep>carbonize >all my toys > death from above > flamesweep > run away


as for pvp its just the same things depending on the situation i get 4k crits in pve and pvp so im cool with the damage im doing in champion elim gear. its the cc problem i have.

Sweltering heat does not affect Flame Sweep, or did you know that already?
