Title: Mid-Level Pyromancer PvP Post by: trias_e on March 07, 2011, 12:12:50 PM Its a ton of fun, so I made a highlight video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWfiygbXokM
Let me know if you have thoughts on playstyle improvements or different specs to try out as I level up. Right now I do feel that mages are slightly weak at these levels, but as you can see I can still do pretty well for myself. Other specs I'm interested in: Can stormcaller be used in PvP effectively somehow? Pyro/lock could also be absolutely lethal I think. Oh, and warning: Features growly metal music. If you can't stand that...feel free to mute it! : D Title: Re: Mid-Level Pyromancer PvP Post by: Cadaverine on March 07, 2011, 09:52:11 PM Nice video. I would like to know how you got the buttons for the reactive abilities, or whatever they were, to pop up on screen like that.

I'm mostly playing as a pyro myself (with 8 points in dominator, and spares in archmage for my pvp build) - one thing I will say is that the BG play changes dramatically in the post 30 game. Time-to-kill goes waaay down, meaning you can't go toe to toe with melee classes like that any more. Flicker, and other anti CC, are your friend. Also, as a direct result of the lower TTK, healers seem much more vulnerable (especially with Dom toys like Priest's Lament). Cadaverine - If you go into UI setup, you can move (and resize) your reactives window from its default position (which is just above the hotbar at the bottom iirc).

With 5 second disarm, 2 second AE stun, 5 second single target stun, thats a good amount of time you can disable a melee who is even up in your face. But even at my bracket, if flicker and break free are both down, I often go splat real quick, undoubtedly.
