It just feels like Vigilance guardian is ******, and Focus is reliant on a gimmick. And since you apparently seemed to miss the later portion of my post, I admitted that I'm raging because I'm doing poorly. I'm in mostly conquerors and it feels like I don't hit hard at all, and even with focused defense I'm extremely squishy.

After leveling up both a Sniper and a Trooper to 55 after starting on a Jedi Guardian. I don't see why Guardians are allowed to PvP at all. We are squishy and do nothing in the way of viable damage output compared to any other class. Focus - Sub Par compared to Sentinel running the same spec, but STILL the closest thing we have to a viable spec, and it utilizes a overpowered gimmick to stay afloat. Vigilance - Lolwut? It has its good times with RNG but is still not as much damage output as other classes. It seems unfocused, and doesn't know if it wants to be a dot class, (the dots dont do any damage) or a melee class (where its hardest hitting ability relies on the low damage dots). Defense - A decent spec, but when rolling Defense in warzone ARENAS it doesn't put out enough damage to be viable in a 4 man scenario, a good defensive spec for 8 man, other classes tanks seem to have a much better balance between damage output (not being nill) and tankyness (not being unkillable or super squishy). /EndRage I leveld my guardian first, felt it was weak, then after like 3/4th of my conquerers set farmed I looked around and saw all of the PvP streamers and posts saying that guardians were usleess, confirming what I thought and proving false my idea that I was just feeling my class was weak like most people do. Now I'm just butthurt because I just dusted off my Guardian again, went into a warzone, and died to a 1/4th health marauder who popped his undying rage, smash, stealth, smash, Vicious throw to end me without me being able to finish him off. Nothing to see here... Just angry... Edit- TLDR : NERD RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

are the servers up? Its still telling me login service is unavail lol.

They wont make brackets because all warzones are done within a server. Everyone you fight against is on your server, and to make sure you are alwayse able to find a warzone they have it set to bolster. And the Bolster system works well. Honestly im doing less damage with my snipe and such abilities now then i did when i was level 10, i have other abilties to make up for the lost damage now, but its actuialy just a little surprising.

Soo... your complaining that pre 50, your small heal isnt worth it in comparison to your big heal.... ._. no comment

unless the heals cast time is shorter then a second.... wouldnt it be better just to cast your damaging (or main healing if im reading it incorrectly) ability? Unless you ACTUIALLY need to toss a heal somewhere?

Spec healer. Your heals will hit for 4-5-6k and be almost impossible to out damage unless they cc and focus you. Off healing is very powerful healing for the ammount you specified without having any tallents for it. Also, SHUT UP. STOP CRYING, GET LEVEL 50 and play for a month or so before you start QQing. ffs.

TLDR - WWAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Seriously stop crying. They have a CC imunity bar to counter the ammount of CC that is in the game, once the white bar above your picture or under your hp is full you are immune to any form of hard CC. Low Level pvp gear - No... just no. There's no point for it. What they have is scattered enough that you can pick it up if your lacking a piece for your level (example your level 24 but your boots are like level 7) or you dont have implants or something yet, but other then that its not required so shut up. The bolster system is fine as it. In warzones, im actuially hitting less now then i did at level 10. At level 10 my snipe woulc crit for 3.9-5k. Now that im level 32 im critting 3.2-4k on the same targets, some even with my 20% armor reduction debuff. Also, hit level 50 and play for a while before you cry about anything. Your tears were refreshing though

Really? I didn't know enough people were at max level currently, and have played long enough to comment on class balance. Just because your bad and say everything that beats you is op doesn't mean it is so.

Same happening here. No idea why though :/

What UNDENYABLE REASONING!! THANK YOU! YOUVE MADE EVERYTHING CLEAR!1 Just because you don't like pvp, or don't want to try to compete in e-sport pvp. Doesn't mean that there arent those who would enjoy it, and most definitely doesn't mean that there shouldn't be any.

So these are the people on my team in huttball... who have no idea what their doing or whats going on. PvP boosting stats, is fine, use whatever gear makes your character stronger outside of the warzone and it will also be fine in the warzone. The commando hitting you with 10 abilities whal your stunned would happen at every level not just because hes higher level then you, the levels only dictate what abilities he has. The pvp is actuialy quite balanced, outside of ability delay before activation in warzones ive been taking out level 30-50 people since I was level 20. Battlegrounds make alot of things seem imbalanced because its hard to tell if that 3k burst came form the inquisitor or if theres a smuggler / sniper somewhere who just bursted you, and if you dont see him something can seem alot more powerful then it really is. Your whole post though proved that you know nothign about pvp in any game really and you should try to learn more about battlegrounds before complaining. The stat boost is completely fine, higher levels have such a slight advantage that is almost unnoticeable if your a better player then they are. Edit - Whats next? Complaining that someone has better gear then you and that's overpowered and unfair? Even though you could get the gear by putting in the same amount of work they did, you'd rather just cry imbalance. Please don't que for Warzones if your going to complain like this, I'll win more games that way Edit 2 - If you dont know if aim or cunning is better for your character... please PLEASE just dont que up.

The way huttball is setup, if they open up a few more arenas perhaps, and maby made some changes to alderann. I could easily see war-zones becoming an e-sport. And so long as their willing to give abilities different durations / potencies (cc namely) in what wow would call an 'arena', which they allready have done, they can keep the game fairly balanced which is what wow's problem with arenas was. I would definitely support this going into e-sport. The amount of skill a premade huttball team could display, and the balance that can be acheived with bioware allready displaying that theyre ok with abilities having different effects in pvp and pve gives me high hopes for this game. What ultimately killed wow arena as an esport was blizzard wanting to add more and more to every class, without changing damage from pvp to pve, or changing durations from pvp to pve. So some classes grew stronger then others, some comps became so strong that for a while there was no counter to them, even with meta game and such. But I believe bioware could keep a balanced swtor pvp system for a nesport. And to be negative for a moment, even if it DOESN'T work, theres no harm in giving it another shot. If they succeed where wow failed they will prove how they are that much better, and if they aswell fail, then mmo's are forever doomed in also holding esports.

Im getting owned by this right now aswell. Im a 32 Sniper and keep getting focused in warzones by the same 44 operative. I know what to do to counter it his opening and cc, but the response time is horrific and its like this in every warzone, but not outside of warzones. He opens with stun / eviscerate I trinket, pop my dodge cd, and bleed him is the proper response I'm almost sure. He vanishes and i try to get him out or knock back when he reopens ect bla bla bla. But what happens is by the time I 'trinket' I'm already dead because it takes 3-3.5 seconds extra for any of my abilities to go off, most noticeably cover takes forever to go off.
