so you think the balance in this game is perfect? somthing that has never happened in an MMORPG ever? interesting. Im going to guess ur a maurader? They're not that OP just a shade too strong, but saying this game has no balance issues is just plain stupid.

There are a lot of small reasons for the problems with keeping WZ groups full, but the low populations seem to be the biggest one. I never had problems the first couple months, if someone leaves they get replaced imediatly. If someone doest take their que a minute later there will be someone else in their spot. Some have said it seems worse since 1.2, well a lot of PvPers on my server at least have quit since then. The problem is once ppl leave their arnt even people to fill the slots half the time. This multiplys the problems of people afking or leaving ques when they pop because with less people you will feel the ones doing this more. I just cant wait until server merges/free transfers. It wont solve the problem completely but that alone would help it a lot.

i loved these games. The conquest mode in 2 was awsome. face a budddy in it, who can carry their army best gogogogogogo. PvP in this game is like a 10x better version of the hero fight mode ( i dont know what its called when everyone only played the special toons like yoda obi wan or general grevious) and its interesting to see some of the similarities.

Infil is very viable, mabey if you spent more time playing and less time making ****** videos you could play at a competitivly viable level. The best 2 guilds on my server both run with Infil shadows in their A team. I relize balance is easy to find a replacement for but infil isnt. But based on how you talk about infil thats not a spec you excell at.

lol thats not what my OG post was about but the 2 of you went all, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BALANCE CAN KILL HEALERS TOO, when all i said was its worse then infil at it ( if you find any part in any of my posts that says balance can not kill healers you get a cookie !YAY! Thats why my other post was about it. My original point is that balance is more support then infil. Infil being better at taking down healers is very closely related to this point because as a DPSer killing healers is generally your top priority. If you do it slightly less then another spec i would assume that you would get some sort of support in return, which is what balance is. Lose healer killing power for support through, cast and forget damage, force lift, and most of all sever force ( my personal favorite ability for shadows) And im not angry im just saying to the 2nd person that you blatently put words in my mouth, and when you do that you lose all credit in arguments. I can say that you said that infil cant kill healers, but you didnt say that so im not gonna say that. And it is quite hilarious that you down talk my post then call me a rager WHEN YOU HAVNT ADDED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT SHADOWS TO THE TOPIC lol. all you did was put words in my mouth and say the made up words were wrong...

lol i never said balance cant kill healers. Your reading comprehension skills are piss poor. I simply stated that infil is better at it. It has an extra interupt in low slash and better burst. Infils DPS goes out the window when ur 2nd blackout is gone. As long as you dont **** up interupts and hit with ur backstabs the healer your facing will be dead by the time your 2nd blackout goes away. If your not going to read what i write then not only are u ignorant enough that your opinion is out the window, but your also gonna keep on going herpa derp i do 500k dmg a game that means i caused all those kills on the healer right herpa derp

if you see your job as bursting healers, and you went balance instead of infil... my god are you doing it wrong. numbers on a stat screen arnt everything buddy, and believe it or not THE MORE DAMAGE YOU DO MEANS THE MORE DAMAGE YOU DO THAT IS GETTING HEALED( omg such a hard concept to get through many peoples heads) and you never multi dot? I'm not saying you do it all day long but you NEVER multi dot? lol and against top tier healers with BiS gear (sure i can take down the baddies very easily) balance is not the best bet. Sure you can take them down, but how long is it gonna take a balance shadow to take down a good healing scoundrel? around twice as long as an equaly skilled infil when i theorize i speak of facing the best oponents because theres really no point to speak of otherwise. And i never said, "healers are easily healing through your damage in Balance" i stated that it has the worst burst out of the 3 specs. Which it does. If you disagree then your doing the other specs wrong.

I can make the argument that balance is at least a support-ish DPS. While it does have the most DMG of any shadow spec it also has the least burst( a more consistent burst then tank, but if tank has all its offensive CD up a project/ pebble cannon combo beats any burst we can throw out). Also while it has more DMG and generaly gets more kills thru AoE/multi dots, infil causes more kills through its burst, especialy when facing healers.(im assuming the other team has at least 1 compitent healer, if they dont then this statement is much less accurate.) So less burst, less killing potential. What does it have? pure damage. damage thats easy to heal through but damage that causes a healer to switch targets and clense much more then the other two specs would cause. You essentialy do so much damage to many targets that you allow your true bursters to take down the healer easier. (not to mention your burst is pretty decent with backstabs/executes or if u got ur offensive CD FiB is really nice burst.) Furthermore balance has the greatest CC of any of the shadow specs with sever force and the insta force lift(which also acts as a 1 seconds stun when needed) One can argue tank has better CC but sever force on hutball is just.... And lastly FiB is one of the best cap stoppers in the game AoE 30 yard range spell that doesnt require you to target a person first. mmmmmm is that tasty. While its not a "support" class, if you compare it to infil its hard to not call it supportish. Also if you compare it to shadow tanks who gear pure DPS and pretty much never gaurd(99% of them) its supportish. Its no support spec but it is OUR support spec. ( as support as a rogue arcetype can be)

i dont agree with the CD, but i very much so agree wtih the debuffs not lasting through death.

I really enjoyed that it took you to a low level planet, giving incentive to explore places where i would otherwise not go to ever again. I love how you guys didn't remove it. Some guildies and I were talking about it and it would be kool to find some people still infected months to a year from now just from it spreading around. The items obtained from it were a good choice the color crystal is mainly aesthetic but it is also a practical upgrade for people without ideal lvl 50 gear. Overall me likey event and me veri excite for more.

reading ur post and looking at the pictures makes me think they made all the gear and assigned them to classes instead of the other way around. I agree with a lot of ur "this should be this classes and this should be this classes..."

i never noticed this happen until today, i spiked a guy and he went backwards thru me, instead of forwards on the ground. this must be a new bug or sumtin cuz i never seen it until this patch. but who knows.

luck has nothing to do with it lowslash literaly counters your main spell. if you use lowslash right you win the fight as an infil vs tankassin

tankasins should be easy just look at their harnnesed shadows proc every time they use forcce lighting/pebble cannon. low slash low slash low slash. mix with ur stun you should be able to keep them from ever using their best move EVER. look at their procs and tankassins are really easy to stop as long as its 1 on 1, no when people start wasting their resolve so you cannot CC their pebble cannon thats when u got problems.

if the dude im on needs to be CCd then the knockdown is the way to go, if you just want to kill him super fast i use backstab. initial blackout + 2nd blackout should keep u fine on energy. now if you know ur gonna kill the dude fast and switch to another target right away you may just wanna open up with force breach or clairvoyant strikes( whatever ur guys one is). like someone already said we dont have a "true" opener it really depends on the situation. hell with the whirlwind bug u might as well open up with that in a lot of situations to take someone outa the fight

well put i agree with pretty much everything u say, my one qualm is that our best spec is the easiest one. ive been tank the last few weeks chekin out the greener grass, and honestly im gettin bored fast of tank spec, while balance and infil to me are super fun. im happy with our class over all we have 1 viable possible OP spec in tank, then the other 2 are both semi-viable if you need their respective roles (burster and true dpser). much better then some others from what ive seen. at least all 3 are usable in pvp. well put buddy hopfully this will stop some of the false info and trolling, but knowing forums in general it is doubtful.

i feel like this as well as a pub. While there are plenty of great sith PvPers on my server when 4 great pvpers on pub que they will all get qued up together no matter what bc there arnt enuf people during off peak hours. In these cases its just win fests. this very specific circumstance is probably the only upside however...

i would enjoy being able to use staves and 2 sided blades even though i wouldnt make much sence. on a side note, ive seen a few jugs use swords idk if they be trollin or not, i would imagine they have similar **** to us were they need lightsabers tho.

i can see with the PvE 4 set it doing more damage, but in PvP the 2 set tank bonus is way too good to pass up, 10 seconds off of the knockdown es mui bien

ive only played a commando to a very low lvl 15 mabey. But i definatly already have skills that auto face. The point the OP is showing is that the certain dev that was asked the question is unaware of these other spells or doesnt see them as auto facing. i would guess it is because he is unaware because simply the spells make you face your target = auto face. i see no talk around that. (even though some have already tried) Even if its working as intended it is still auto facing that the dev did'nt respond to. Everyone makes mistakes at their job the question is did he misunderstand the question or is he truly unaware of any autofacing besides when in cover. If the later is true then this person should not have any responsibilities when it comes to PvP i this game, if the former is true no harm done it happens to everyone every once in a while. i dont think auto facing on select spells is imbalanced it is alarming though if that dude does any work in PvP and gave that answer however.

i agree with you to a point. idealy if you are tank spec it would be wise to use a DPS companion for trash, but there are some encounters in the game that you NEED therans heals for. while yes situationaly while lvling i would whip our the sniper dude for damage, when it came down to a hard fight theran made them the easiest. he makes every encounter easier no matter what spec you are, sure it may take forever but you will get it done no matter what. for that reason theran is the best. all of the other ones are situational sniper does single target dmg the jedi does aoe damage, we got a ranged tank which is good for when we dont wanna pull mobs and qyzan who is a better overall tank. but the only one that you can and will suceed in ANY situation as ANY spec is Tharan. for this reason i feel you can very easily call him the BEST.

ur gonna do less damage with this spec because harnnesed shadows is such a good spell. insta whirlwind is awsome and i agree. If you dont believe that 31/0/10 does more damage( which it does) then thats fine. the question then is whats better the utility from slow time, or the instant whirlwind. well whirlwind can still be cast without it being instant, granted it takes time but if someone wastes a CC or interupt on me to stop it that is actualy a great thing. slow time slows for 30% which is an amazing slow considering its AoE and it reduces damage done by 5% which is also quite helpful. if they had similar CD and slow time didnt effect harnnesed shadows then i could see where your coming from but the fact is slow time has around the same utility as insta whirlwind, but it also does decent damage when used on CD and it builds up harnnesed shadows WHAT SHOULD BE YOUR MONEY MAKER. i can use slow time 8 times before i can use whirlwind twice.( this is why i think the utility is close because the sheer amount of casts you can do) the bug that you mention is the ONLY reason why your spec would be worth it. and to rely on a bug is very gimicky and will get nerfed. not to mention in a WZ whirlwin RARELY and i mean RARELY EVER reaches its full leangth. p.s. i love your reasoning why the 5% isnt good. "everyones perma gaurded and perma taunted anyways right?"

i dont understand can you go into greater detail please. what i would like to know is what a tooltip is and how i can use its tip( a sharpened edge/sexual device? who knows) to defeat my opponents quickly. thx in adavance. also this whole compare and contrast sounds like a whole lot of critical thinking. can you please explain this further too? thx bossmaster

theran. he has a CC and has healzz.

All of the attacks that you use both sides on besides execute do very small amounts of quick damage. This means they are using swift controlled bursts, instead of just trying to swing really hard. ( control and precision) they seemed to have agreed with you and made the spells in that way. also disruptors were always stronger then phasers in the tv show when it came to pure KILLING potential, so really it would only make since to make it so in the game. I'm not saying i disagree. i wouldnt like that imbalance in the game either, but as someone who cites lore for your complaints, they seemed to be simply following lore. (i wish i was big enough of a nerd to list an episode that proved disrupters were stronger but alas...) live long and prosper fellow trekky
