I cannot goddam decide which to go. Each seem about the same at lower levels (less than 30). Multiple other forums seem to profess that Pyro has way higher dps for Solo/PvE than AP.

What do you go and why?

Now, I love everything about the bounty hunter. Boba Fett, rockets, flamethrowers, jetpacks, attitude, more flamethrowers. I actually enjoy tanking, and PvP. I can do all of that with my powertech, and grapple is one of the meanest things out there.

Flavor wise, I love AP. retractable wrist blade, heat being non issue, ect.
Pyro does great amounts of dmagage though. Everything I have come across says pyro outstrippes AP by a wide margin, so I went pyro. EVERYTHING is on fire. Always. And it makes rail shot hit like hell, and you'll be proccing free railshots every 2-4 flame/rocket punches. Free means that unless youre taking on mobs back to back to back, or cant seem to get killed in PvP, heat isnt an issue.

I'm not a number cruncher, min-maxer, or the best around. I havent given AP its fair shake yet, but that is my experience with it.

having done ap in pvp and pve i gotta say i love it. the amount of damage ive seen i dunno id have to say ive surpassed even some sniper crits.. i have seen 4k+ rail shots and rocket punches going back to back. and gotta say immolate is hilarious to see in pvp seeing people on fire.. and retractable blade is great for those nasty stealthers.. but when it comes to pve the fact you will be behind the boss constantly you really wont be taking much damage and even if you do you got 2 heals Kolto and vent heat. typically vent heat you dont wanna proc but its always a just incase ;) also rail shot with the armor pen the extra damage you also pick up in shield tech as well as 25% additional crit when rocket or retract procs it makes some people qq XD lol

now ill also tell you this ap is more of an elemental/internal damage spec. meaning most people dont have damage mitigation for it yet. (armor doesnt affect it) so unless they have a high shield chance/absorption it will pretty much make it gg. but again it comes to personal prefrence havent had the chance to try pyro yet so im kinda biased but thats due to having to tank right now XD but hey when i get a chance ill let you know

but pvp wise ap retract for stealthers very nice ;) gotta love dots
