✔ SWTOR Tips for Vanguard Harpoon (Powertech Grapple) Pull Ability in PVP / Huttball

[zzubbaa]

Wow this never occurred to me *devilish smile*

[ikariss77]

If you're pulling someone into fire, you can use the 4 corner posts to clip them into the fire if you position yourself with a post between you and the target. Not the easiest thing to pull off, but this will give them a few extra ticks in the fire because they'll be stuck on the post.

[MrAndrewrock]

@taugrimtaugrim really nice video as always! what spec are you using atm?

[taugrimtaugrim]

@MrAndrewrock 10-37 as Tactics, 37-47 as Assault Spec

[UnshapenDonkey]

Acid*

[UnshapenDonkey]

You don't have to go in the aid you can stand on the edge

[taugrimtaugrim]

@UnshapenDonkey understood, but it's really easy to get of the acid if you are pulled into it by the edge.

I pull people into the middle to bury them with the snare + DPS

[didlysquaat1]

You can grapple ball carriers into your spawn, it will automatically kill them and reset the ball(wont give them a point).

[taugrimtaugrim]

@didlysquaat1 Some VG/PT players are comfortable using that tactic, but I am not.

It feels like an unintended exploit.

[hocruxx]

Hey do you have some Tips for targeting? I have huge problems selecting enemies as well as allies as targets with my mouse but this may be due to lags because my system just sucks ^^

[lifedshadow]

please please please please make more videos from you vanguard!

[wlastik]

*Claps excitedly*

[SolaireofAstoria]

taking bets on how long before the nerf grapple in some way, my guess is you are immune to fire pits and acid pits for 2 seconds after being grappled into one

[taugrimtaugrim]

@SolaireofAstoria that would basically defeat the purpose of having a ranged pull in Huttball.

Should players not be allowed to knockback opponents into acid / fire?

Should players not be allowed to root or stun opponents in the fire pit?

I think the pull mechanic, due to the base 45s cooldown, is fine.

Keep in mind that there are a lot of counters to getting pulled.

Some classes have sprint.

Some classes have a friendly pull.

All classes have Resolve.

[TannerWilliam07]

Not gonna lie, this shit is broken.

[PAFprods]

are you 50 yet taugrim would like higher level play, also check our vids out on swtorextreme !

[Purcader222]

Taugrim, what are your thoughts about the assault tree, compared to tactics?

[taugrimtaugrim]

@Purcader222 Assault Specialist is excellent for kiting and has some nice burst with the High Impact Bolt cooldown resetter

[KithkinWillowblades]

Hey tau, Great video again. What are you feelings on lvl 50's needing their own bracket? what with the gear and the more skills they have I think it is warranted personally.

[taugrimtaugrim]

@KithkinWillowblades BioWare already said that 50s will get their own bracket, not sure about the timing.

[sepu120]

how u move the character WASD? joistick?

[taugrimtaugrim]

@sepu120 I have a custom keybinding setup that facilitates being able to strafe.

1. see taugrim.com

2. click on Guides

3. click on Guide to Strafing and Keybinding

[sepu120]

@taugrimtaugrim Thx i have been looking for this long time

[bionicRod]

Hahaha that's perverse man, almost makes me want to roll a BH next! lmao

[slannmage]

Gotta watch out when you pull them into the pit that they do not pass to a friendly above them or by your goal line. You just have to CC and get them down asap.

[KakisDK]

Nice as always....

[slyguy321]

love the strategies and the videos taugrim.. too bad i dont have TOR :( you think your gonna get Guild Wars 2 when it comes out?

[taugrimtaugrim]

@slyguy321 yes, I will be playing GW2.

[Dearl31bgd]

Another great video Taugrim...keep them coming.

[tobytobbb]

btw. i know that im in the role of a supporter. But it gets frustrating to see that even if I put my shield on our main-healer and use all my skills, a level 12 jedi with aprox. 7 skills/spells can almost kill my level 48 vanguard. Im playing my vanguard with tankspec now in pvp to protect my team-healers ( shield them, pull attackers away with harpoon and stun-nades ). Still... other classes can do the job better. yeah i know im whining about my class and i know its only 3 weeks after release.

[taugrimtaugrim]

@tobytobbb If your level 48 Vanguard is almost losing to a level 12 Jedi, you are simply playing your Vanguard wrong.

Why?

Vanguard can short-range kite MDPS. If you keep a Jedi in the dead zone of 5-9m, they can't melee you and they can't charge you. You will pick them apart.

[TheVarzoth]

Did not realise you could just hop through the acid like that, nifty.

[xDontFaintx]

Wow... taugrim... you started SWTOR too ? -_-

1year + sub here, Played EVERY game that i've seen you play :D I liked Rift/Aion/WAR that kind of games... you think I'd like SWTOR ? and is it worth getting ?

Thanks.

[Onoroian]

liking this 

[Mr84610]

Man, I would LOVE to PvP on SWTOR, but whenever I do my FPS drops from 50 to 6, and that's no fun.

[MrVideoGameGuy]

Do you have a lot of lag issues?

[OTexas1]

These tips were sorta obvious but great vid still

[MrSososexy]

you can also pull players off the bridge in voidstar to their death.

[taugrimtaugrim]

@MrSososexy will have to try that!

You have to stand right at the end, right? Would be excellent for defending the bridge.

[MrSososexy]

@taugrimtaugrim

It is in this tip video

[koanibigfan]

i shall use this to fuck bitches up

[lifedshadow]

I love you

[Jp3asy]

Taugrim I will now blame you for each time i get cheesed into fire/acid!

[taugrimtaugrim]

@Jp3asy don't hate the player!

I can't help it.

I see red players, I want to color match them in a red fire pit or celebrate the holiday season by dragging them into a green pit.

[tobytobbb]

@taugrimtaugrim

Harpoon rocks at hutball and voidstar, yes. But in general I have to say, that vanguard dmg is just ridiculous. Were getting outdamaged by every Jedi or Sith class and getting pwned in seconds. We have ONE ablitiy to escape, with a cd of 2mins and 2 shields. Even if I use all of my CD's, i cant kill a Jedi if he doesnt want me to kite him around in a warfront. I feel like my only task in warfront is to use my shield and harpoon and kick players away from taking objectives.

[Jp3asy]

@tobytobbb I'd say Vanguard is in a much better spot atm than the Guard/Juggs... but Consular/SI is redic atm.

[Potent910]

@tobytobbb Honestly, it's probably because you're tank spec'd. Tanks aren't meant to put out alot of damage. If you're going to be doing pvp, it's better in my opinion to go ahead and switch to a damage tree. You'll see a drastic change in the amount of damage your vanguard will put out. Otherwise, tanks don't get alot of love in pvp. Usually you'll find yourself being attacked by more than one person anyways or just cc'd and without being able to inflice massive damage.

[Rennaaa]

@tobytobbb you sound like you're just bad at Vanguard. Stop blaming other classes for being better (they aren't) and work on your own.

[BrettDawg259]

2nd.. =D

[EazyIsMe]

First? oooooooooo shhhhhhhiiiiiitttttttttt
