JK story is THE story SWTOR so imo its the 'most Epic' as you truly feel like the Hero of the Galaxy but the Sith Warrior story is soo much fun! Force choking NEVER EVER goes out of style!

no and no

This would be like the fight between Palpatine and the 3 Jedi Masters that died in seconds.. Malgus isn't even in the same stratosphere of Revan. 2-5 minutes tops

the ignorance in this thread is strong

I went Artifice on my Marauder but then I have a PT that is bio and can make implants. Ideally you want to have one artifice to help level your alts and one bio for the same.. Synthweaving is next for me on an alt

I've also noticed this but figured it was because a mob in front was taking the brunt of the attack for those behind it.. now I want to test this further tonight...

I would LOVE to have a single target lightning attack or a stun. makes no sense that a Sith Lord can't use a BIT of lightning..

I went the middle on my Marauder and didn't really notice anything. granted I did level quickly and typically bled every planet dry prior to moving on so I was usually 2-5 levels -at least- higher than the quests I was running. That has made leveling pretty easy. And with the ease in which you can get tokens now-from quests and daily FP-its not difficult to keep yourself geared. What I did since I went Artifice was I had purple hilts from lvl 11+ that I would upgrade every 2-3 hilts. since a purple lvl 31 hilt usually was good until say lvl 36-37 blue you could skip a few in between. I would upgrade my armor and mods every 3-5 levels.

this is where Bioware dropped the ball and where PVP will eventually fail...(since all pvp is Empire heavy) why not have a neutral 3rd faction? Any class can join if they like.. as a BH's I'd rather be a 'Free Agent' than have any allegiance

I just bolded your mistake.. Mercs have a 1 min CC that they can keep up indefinatly.. if you don't know that, then WOWZA

crap like this is what is starting to make me MMO jaded.. this isn't a PVP game.. its a PVE game that has PVP.. now had the game been balanced around PVP/RVR what ever then I can say yes .. balance it around PvP. in a game where most of the player base doesn't PVP, balancing classes around pvp will get lots of players to jump ship. at this point I'm considering simply not renewing because I think this (and i said this in BETA) title will be F2P very soon. I'll simply return when it is.

I'm waiting untl 38 so I can start doing that..

ok I actually lol'd

why would they nerf it? you can't balance/start nerfing based upon PVP..

Assasins and OPs/scoundrels give my PT lots of trouble even if we both start from 100% I'd say I'm about 50/50 vs the good ones.. how many stuns due assasins get? it seems like they have 4!

if an Arsenal merc is tucked away and spamming TM yes -lots of damage.. but one interrupt and they are done

yeah in BETA it was OP'd.. i'm not that great of a player but I felt stupid op'd with it

ok nice arguments on both sides.... having said that as a pure DPS the only thing a DPS Merc brings to the table that another DPS doesn't is a 1 min CC.. other than that I'd rather have a Mara if they're(the Merc) is not healer Like i said i played a full bodyguard spec to 44 in beta and healed all flashpoints and PVP up to that and did well.. a DPS Sorc brings more t othe table than a DPS Merc.. Hybrid is the way to go IMO..

^a that

OK the title is a bit of a stretch... I'm not here to tell you how to play your class.. but since I started my PT.. you can't shoot your blaster or toss a Jawa in any direction without hitting a Sorc and/or Merc.. the issue is.. after 33 levels and fairly active pvp (28 valor or so) I've run into 3 - I know its 3 because I remember each healer Merc.. twice in PVP once in PVE.. I played a heal spec Merc to 44 in last beta build or 2nd to last forgot.. anyway.. my point is why aren't more Mercs healing? even if you're spec'd DPS and the team needs an off heal, anything helps but I've been in groups with 2-3 Mercs and not one tries to heal..-unless they are about to die, at that point its too late since we're all dead.. I understand how underwhelming Merc healing can be and its sorta like playing a Mara/Sent only for a Healer as heal Mercs-the good one-need to be very active; managing heat, keeping the team alive and DPSing/CCing.. I'm contemplating rolling one simply because you just can't find one, even though Mercs seem to be as prevalent as Sorcs.. I don't get the 'healing on a Merc is boring' argument because healing on a Merc is anything but.. and the 'but Sorcs and IA's heal soo much better than us' is really a lazy excuse I've always found that healers tend to level easier and get groups quicker... case in point the other day on Tat I invite 3 Mercs to a Heroic group thinking 'OK I have a 33% chance that one is a healer..or course they are all DPS.. what a surprise! so I say "hey since you're not all spec'd to heal with 3 CC's and off healing we should be ok..." 3 wipes and not a single heal-unless they were trying to save themselves.. I /logged

statsis/choke + push = pushed over the objects to their death

thats what I think it is as well

most still believe Mace had him beat..

I went Pyro until I put 18 into it then started putting points into ST.. I leveled DPS unless it was a Heroic and need to survive a bit more... at that point you'll be 27ish or so once you hit Alderaan the ST skills will help you since mobs start taking steroids on Alderaan..

this was fantastic! gotta love the MMO communities.. someone always does this.. well done! thanks for your hard work!!
