I use consumption in PvP as often as I can early in my rotation, sometimes not caring if it's free or not, and then I stop bothering with it as the ***** hits the fan. I see the nerf slowing sorcerers down quite a bit but from what I understand some other classes are getting some love and as long as you have a balanced group it shouldn't be too bad.

already do this, funfunfun

i'm thinking they will up the level of crafted gear as well, so you should be able to buy a few more pieces from GTN to get you into ops.

i love these people who are so sure they are 10% expertise away from face rolling all the people who have grinding 100's if not 1000's of wz's for their gear...yeah, i'm sorry buddy but i know i can beat you because i've spent that much more time playing wz's.

lol...just lol. I had to login and quote this because it made me lol.

Wow, you know how to type out exactly how to kill this boss, you must execute it flawlessly everytime, and I bet you can get 3 pugs to 1 shot him just because you know the fight, hell you don't even need vent if you type it out like that... lol. GG. on a serious note, he's on farm....or was till he dropped crap loot.

TIL; There are some seriously delusional people on these forums. If you think GW2 looks that awesome then go play it but to post about a game that you have never played as though it will be the best thing ever... I post in these forums from work so I'm normally not influenced by having just gotten face rolled but I can bet that 90% of the "PvP sucks, Endgame Sucks, and GW2 is awesome" posts are from people who need to L2P and they're only raging because they don't understand the game systems and or they just got rolled by a premade (OMG why do good people partner with other good people? nerf them!) If you DO understand the game systems, and you hate SWTOR so much, please do us all a favor and smash yourself in the head with your keyboard and or monitor till you pass out (or just stop playing/posting) and hopefully when you wake up you'll be able to play GW2...

There should never be premade queue only. Pvp is like deathmatching. You cannot prevent good people from seeking out other good players to team up and dominate with. Are the adds stacked in their favor? Well if they stack the 'best' class and role only as sorcs, they're gonna be mad when they get nerfed. Besides real ****** pvpers role whatever they want and role you that way. The main reason you lose to premades, as someone else already said, they have communication, you probably don't. Couple that with the fact that they all probably already have at least 500 expertise cuz thats all they do, you're ****ed.

pretty much this ^^

I never build a group with more than 2 of the same class unless its a guildy who needs a drop. As a healer I leave nothing to chance, if you can get at least 3 buffs, its worth the extra few minutes LFM.

awesome post, will be refering people to this many many times, thanks.

Here's my point. If you want a game without gear gains then go play Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, etc. Get it?

I would take this more seriously if the arguement didn't make you sound like a big crybaby. " WAH!, I wasn't able to play as much so I fell behind and now people are killing me really fast!...no seriously fast ! Why wont you take me cereal!?" I can't stop myself from lol'ing through your whole post. Also, next time you come across a full BM vs anyone with 0 expertise, lol at them for me. Advice: Don't go 1v1 against BM's. I don't and I have plenty of champ gear. I prefer to gang up on BMs instead of getting smashed.

Funny cuz a player who "uses cd's and medpacs" is, in my book, the top 10% of players in this game. You overestimate this game's playerbase. From a healer's POV I normally ask for ranged in PUGs cuz I'm normally with my melee guildy. If the player is a random I'd rather have a random ranged 10 times out of 10. Also, I prefer to bring all 4 classes if possible. Having all 4 buffs can make up for dumb PUGs.

You are asking someone to counter the arguement that a level 50 battlemaster can kill a fresh level 50. You're asking for a gear-less game. Congratulations, you can play Street Fighter all day everyday. And Streetfighter is awesome, and you will never EVER have a gear dispute. Now go away.

I believe there are plenty of bosses on normal that don't have an enrage. You can definately do those without any worry for skill/rotation/anxiety.

Didn't read all the comments yet.. Yah so anyways, Does any AC have a debuff to increase armor pen or add damage for all melee attacks? I remember Rogues had something similar in wow and it made bringing melee more viable. This could help with the problem.

Naga user. Wow. Some interesting concepts at work here. Call me crazy but I use... F1-F5 buffs 1-5 interrupts and FL NAGA (17 button mouse, only use about 10) for the rest. Omg the naga takes weeks to master. Def worth it. Especially when you're leveling and you don't know how many abilities you'll end up with. But after almost a month at 50 I can't imagine healing without it. Also naga is near 70$. Consider the naga because you become incredibly more mobile when 10+ abilities are used by your right thumb. My movement really opened up and I found I'm able to tab target and move extremely fast cuz I don't have to press too many abilites with my left hand.

nice discussion, much of the gear we'll be wearing at end game is unmoddable at this point anyway, though, so hopefully the end result of 5/5 is these same ratios. If not then crafters will be put to work (awesome). And for crafters it helps to know which stats are money stats.

LOL. You have no idea what you're talking about if you want people to just be able to figure out a way around having to gear up. STUPID. Absolutely stupid. The boss fights all have mechanics you need to beat the boss without having to dps race, its called NORMAL MODE. If you want a challenge try HM. If you want to get ***** try Nightmare... now i'm done.

while i agree that there is some fixin to do, i don't think a faction buff is the way to go.

great post

QQ /signed...again

wow, some classic trolling here. sorry OP, just ignore them. So after skipping through the trolls I wanted to sympathize because the PvP exchange system is frustrating to me as well. I'm a Sith Sorcerer and I saw Force-Master piece...sounds awesome!...and it has the most willpower of anything available....its GOTTA be the healer set right?...right? oh..wait a minute, why the F--- would I care about casting a dps dot faster..wait a minute...ARRRGGGHHH, *****IIIIVVVAAAAAA!!!!... Yeah so the labeling could be more intuitive or be just more clear in general all around in the PvP section of the fleet. Pretty dumb to miss out on a genuinely useful set bonus because I was duped into buying the "Force-Master" vs the "Force-Mystic" LAAAAAME

QF....W-T-F?? lol
