Maybe because it's alot easier to get the PvP weekly done than the WZ weekly?

On my server the Premades always win the WZs. I would say the Republic premades have an easier time because of shorter ques. There are 2-3 seperate Republic groups that bring all BMs and up.

All of mine counted. I also don't do Illum because it's boring. Maybe on other servers there are people there but not mine.

First I would like to point out that you made a mistake by putting WoW and PvP in the same sentence. WoW PvP is at it's very best juvenal. Maybe if you and the 100s of "guildies you have over there had ever played a game with REAL PvP you would not have even played WoW. Because WoW is/was a PvE game that let you gank lowbies while they leveled. It had zero PvP goals besides titles/achievements and gear. Any people that claim to be MMO PvPers that played WoW for PvP are a joke. That game as well as this one take ZERO skill to play. It's more about gear and exploits than skill. If you really wanted skilled PvP you would all still be playing DAOC and not carebear games like WoW and TOR.

Your complaining that a lot of ranged classes targeted you and killed you at the same time? I'm pretty sure if a lot of any class were focused on one guy he would die no mater who he was. Melee classes do get skills to compensate for there lack of range. Like more Armor and Hp. Closers that are the same range are all range attacks. I feel your pain little guy but you class is far from gimp. You have a role in this game. Know your roll. If you don't like that roll. well reroll to something else. But most of all KNOW YOUR ROLL.

True I should have separated it into 2 different things. Thanks for clarifying it to those that didn't know.

In PvE it's fine. No real game breaking bugs. You're there to do DPS in single target or AOE. depending on your spec. And a sniper can DPS just fine. In PvP it's like putting a target over your head. I only use it for knockbacks and to start/finish someone off. It's slow to get in to and to many abilities that are the same on other classes are tied to it. There are benefits to it in certain situations. IE..Entrench stops you from being knockbacked, pulled or leaped to. But in most situations it will be more beneficial to not self root.

Sounds about right to me. My biggest crit was 5517. A normal crit with popping timers is like 3k. That's why I respeced to Lethality. Sitting in one place to long is death. And by to long I mean long enough to get all of that off on one guy. And anyone smart is just going to run out of range/LOS anyway. Forcing you to change targets or move and reset. All of this takes time. Time you don't have. Cover is great and all for PvE but it's out greatest weakness in PvP.

Survivability is not the problem. Atleast how I see it. Some other classes that aren't Tanks have WAY to much survivability. But that's another thread. I often end WZs with 40+ kill and less than 10 deaths. It's never going under 250k dmg and 45 kills in HB and only getting 6-7 medals that bothers me. While other classes get 10+ medals every match just by having more utility. All while doing similar DPS.
