This set of choices needs more refinement.

Kill Zone – When Cell / Energy Burst deals damage to a target, it hits up to 3 additional targets within 5m of the target.

Superheated Cells – Cell / Energy Burst applies a burn, dealing elemental damage over 12 seconds.

High-Yield Explosives – Cell / Energy Burst grants you High Yield Explosives, increasing the damage dealt by Assault Plastique / Thermal Detonator and Ion Pulse / Flame Burst (not Tactical Surge / Magnetic Blast?) by 5% per Energy Lode.

Otherwise, that component should be moved to the base ability or perhaps only autocrit against targets affected by Gut / Retractable Blade, similar to how Turbulence / Thundering Blast works. It would make more sense if that ability was only an autocrit while Power Yield is active or Power Yield just made your next Cell / Energy Burst an autocrit. Basically, the Powerlode tactical item is built in now and you get all 5 stacks of Power Yield immediately, but you don’t get the 30 second duration from the Power Focus / Combustion Chamber utility.Ĭurrently, the autocrit on Cell / Energy Burst seems to be active all the time, as is the case with the Powerlode tactical, though it seems a bit odd to have that effect connected to Power Yield if it’s active all the time. In addition, Cell / Energy Burst’s critical hit chance is increased by 100% and getting critically hit while under Power Yield builds an Energy Lode. Upon activation, you instantly build 5 stacks of Power Yield and 4 stacks of Energy Lodes, lasts 10 seconds. The core effect of +40% armor and +2% damage dealt per stack is still there, but there are now additional effects associated with each discipline.įor Tactics, the ability is called Balmorran Advanced Weaponry and has the following effects. This ability now functions a bit differently for each discipline. Tactics and Advanced Prototype Power Yield It seems that most of the other changes remain the same, so if you want to know more about VG / PT changes, I suggest you check out my previous article.

With the most recent PTS update that brought us our first look at Legendary Items, 7.0 Gearing, and a new character customization UI, we also now know what all of the choices will be for Vanguard and Powertech, which I will be going over in this article.

When Vanguardch and Powertech were released to the PTS a few weeks ago, they were missing most of their discipline choices, so we didn’t have a clear idea of what the changes actually were. The SWTOR 7.0 PTS build from end of October introduces quite a few new changes to Vanguard and Powertech Combat Styles! Let's check them out!
