PowerTech/Merc Exploit

[kabman]

When you use thermal Sensor over ride it makes the next ability cost no heat. if you click on that. Then charge up something and right as the thing u charged up is about to go off you click an insta cast. Neither of them will cost heat. Its not a huge deal because its a 1.5 min CD but every bit helps.

This also works with Force Potency/Recklessness for Jedi Consulars and Sith Inquisitors. The +60% crit chance applies to the attack on activation but the charges are only consumed on a critical hit.

As an example, you can do this with Project. Activate Project then activate another instant attack while you have 1 charge of Force Potency left. Both attacks will have the bonus 60% crit chance. But you can do this with pretty much any casted + instant ability combination, so long as the first ability has a travel time. Such as Disturbance followed by Project.

Try thermal sensor then tracer missle and when tracer missle almost finished loading use heatseeker missle.

If you're familiar with WoW its the same as using Ice Lance straight after a frostbolt (not sure if you can still do that on WoW now though)

edit: first post in 5 years of joining lol

[TumahaB]

AH LOL NOW I GOT IT.
I have to CAST something..
Well. As PowerTech I dont have any Casts :/ So no Exploit for PowerTech

[kabman]

Do you not have powershot as Powertech?


Edit: yeah apperently you dont have powershot as a powertech haha soo im sorry. Just for mercs apperently.

[bts0uth]

Powertechs have unload which is a channeled ability but nothing with a cast time

[TumahaB]

We only have Unload and Flameshit, both channeling, none casting =/


****ING HOLY SHIT! I WANT EXPLOITS FOR MY SPECC TOO! xD

I believe this is just a glitch with how swtor handles requests.
On my Sorc healer I have the 2.5sec heal, but if I use the regen spell first, then the next ONE cure is 1 sec less.
But if I spam it I can get 2 off for cheaper.
Just like my sniper casting ambush. Once the shot comes out, the GCD starts. You can spam explosive prob and get it out on the same GCD and the ambush, even though came out first, will trigger the probe.

This also works with crippling throw and riposte or force kick for jedi knights

Edit: actually for jedi knights this works extremely well with blade storm
