- Unload 75%
- Power Shot 45%
- Rocket Punch* 60%
- Flame Burst* 45%
The big change is that now you can only Proc PPA once every 6 Seconds. Obviously this is a change to the burst nature of the talent where you could get several Rail Shots off in a row by getting lucky with Power Shot and Unload. The Powertech version was quite a bit stronger with all their proc abilities being instant.
Now we should get more consistent procs but less Procs overall. The problem with the change is it does lower the burst damage but it hurts the heat regulation system of Pyrotech with Superheated Rail venting heat on each Rail Shot fired from the proc of PPA while also lowering the overall damage of Pyrotech for both specs by a considerable amount.
Now I can't really say that our damage is in line with other classes as my only way to measure it is via Warzone Scoreboards. Based on that it shows that I am usually on top or near the top of the damage meter. So if the goal of the change here is to reduce the damage that Pyrotechs are capable of, it has succeeded.
I propose something else should be done with the talent than just reducing the proc rate and increasing the proc chance.
Instead of just making PPA proc far less than what it is now I propose a new system be put into place. Simply change the nature of PPA.
The new talent would read something like.
So basically instead of relying on some gimmicky proc that may or may not happen 6 seconds after the last time it happened we switch to a system that reliably lets you reduce the heat cost of Rail Shot and its cooldown in a manner that reduces the burst of the talent and maintains steady heat management.
I think this is a superior system and I would prefer it over what we are currently going to get in 1.2.
