i know your pain :/

I agree with this 100% when i saw the video i thought, he clearly knew what he was talking about and people pretty much said working as intended to him without even really hearing him out

Bioware's current system rewards a group so it isn't their fault the community doesnt want to group. As it is now you get a bonus to xp and loot drop chances when you are in a group and that rises with the number of people in said group (Per the load screen and I've seen it first hand). Personally I prefer to quest solo, but I have advised guild members of the same level or close to it to group up for the bonuses.

I agree with this post, I have a level 20 Vanguard that is probably better then most people in the WZ. I dont mean I've omg mastered the class but I know how to guard someone and unlike my guardian/jugg tank-cousins I can stand next to them and DPS whether they are ranged or not. PvP is like WAR not WoW where you had to know your role in pvp to excel at it

has to be trollin'

this other kids are lying to you. you wipe the floor with people but not by 1 shotting everything you touch. you wipe the floor with people by being a 100% ******e in WZs. You are ment to AoE, AoE damage with force sweep and AoE commendation farm with Challenging Call. You can easily turn the tide of a fight with Call, Guard, Taunt, and Sweeps insane damage(when speced properly). You'll never get any thanks for any of this though. People will say omg amazing heals but never a hey thanks for the taunt & guard so dont expect that. Just rack up commendations for gear

you must not pvp much

would this be the arena system that blizzard admits they shouldnt have done? that arena system? (http://wow.joystiq.com/2009/11/13/blizzard-arenas-were-a-mistake/) (http://www.warcry.com/articles/view/interviews/6773-Five-Years-of-Warcraft-Speaking-With-Blizzards-Rob-Pardo.2) because everyone seems to pull facts out of their asses without a source

who said anything about a trilogy? Im not specifically saying guard everyone you come across(i don't see why you wouldn't though, its the easiest 3 commendations I've ever seen). I just said our class was more geared to be a team fighter, to excel at AoEing not only damage but damage mitigation in a team fight. How many times have you seen a guardian controlling a team fight with Call, taunt, guard, freezing force, ect. Probably never, but when you do I can assure you it's not subtle and its pretty annoying when All of your damage is lowered by 50% or more. on a side note: just wait till I can do a Target of target macro for guard, good luck killing anyone that isnt me

I wont deny that we have the ability to fight 1v1 but it just seems like, as a class, we were designed first and foremost for the team fight. To jump in the middle, guard someone, taunt an enemy, and force stasis a healer then force sweep him and the guy he was trying to heal.

Ima type this up as a Guardian. In pvp we seem to not be the 1v1 kill type of person. We are ment to dominate team fights, and we do a damn good job of it. As a Guardian, I wait for a team fight to start, guard whoever has the least hp(that usually means they are being focused) tab target and taunt. From there I just force sweep whenever its off CD and if there is a large group of Red names around me, I use Challenging Call (AoE Taunt). I know I've been searching for single target damage but I dont think that's what our classes are ment to do. Do I like my role? No. Do I understand my role and play my part? Yes

if anything missions should only be on your main imo, your main probably has all or at least most of his/her companions which means you can send at least 3 people out to get all this mission blue/purple mats to send to your level 10 crafter alt

So what your saying is, a sith ship or group of ships, got to ord mantell or tython(lol) or coruscant and without being shot at in space was able to land?

psh i dominate in pvp..... .... ... ... ... ... ... in the protection category. Thats right, as a DPS guardian I find it better to run around in Prot sta- I mean soresu and guard/taunt/challenging call people then to actually dps people to the ground
