The problem is, You don't actually move to crouch, cover yes, but freaking crouch should work. It is unfair that 80% of our skills become unusable which essentially renders us stunned.

EVERY match now is more than 8 since people figured out how to glitch it, and now the people who try not to freaking glitch are being hurt by this. There seriously has been no dev response on this!?

They're both competent and geared, and so was everyone else, and we were using our defensive cooldowns when we had to take ball hits, but if one healer had to take a ball or got mindtrapped it all goes downhill during that.

I really feel other healers need some buffs after last night. We had a merc healer and an op healer and both were quite good, had absolutely no trouble on any of the other bosses, but phase 3(counting out of 5) of SOA is a nightmare for them it seems, they just aren't built to heal fast enough from us having to take those lightning balls. And it seems like we have to take them or they hit the whole party. Has any other groups done this without a sage or sorc healer? Any tips?

Seriously, I hate this topic, if anything they need to shy away from 16 man altogether, WAY too many people to deal with on voice, too many saying stuff at once. I HATE bigger raids, 12 is my max, 8 is just perfect imo.

Main point of this thread that I see is... Snipers need a fricken buff!

Idk, never heard of them not counting, except for hardmodes, none of them count right now. Nobody I know has gotten stuck.

Did you go the whole way to the end?

Go run hammer station normal mode and see if you get points

That is exactly what this post is about, which is why there is some big problems with this system. Why should none hybrids take longer to get to battlemaster cause the system favors hybrids?

Do agree with this, as that's more of what people do in a match anyway. Truthfully, they should all be redone to be objective based.

I keep hearing all these healers complain that they can't get medals, well what about the DPSers? We have it the worst, and I'm talking about the two rare classes on each side that are only dps. I see all these dual class people that can get damage and guarding and damage and healing. They go up to 11. We can only get 9 at most, and that's PUSHING IT extremely hard. These medals add up, we need more medals for the pure dps classes. I'm talking sentinels/marauders and gunslingers/snipers. We need more medal opportunities. Those 50 extra valor and 5 extra commendations add up over time.

This kind of thinking is why I hate enrage timers. Yep lets all just screw melee and never bring them cause they like that class

Not how it works if they didn't use that stupid archaic system and loot lock people instead. DUMBEST THING IN THE GAME

Yeah he's not the only one, we've run Directive 7 the last week and a half and EVERY day but one has been bounty hunter gear and bounty hunter pants at the end. We weren't running with a bounty hunter till today and said, well might as well gear this merc up, and lo and behold, bounty hunter gear again...

It would really be nice to be able to help other guild members in smaller guilds or guilds that aren't divisible by 8. Please just loot lock bosses instead of door locking the whole instance so we can't go in and help members who haven't beaten an operation yet. DCUO did this and it was one of the only things that was awesome in that game. Please stop the archaic system of locking the whole area instead of just the loot for people.

Btw that giggle is not a bug, it's an audio cue of when you get a tactical advantage for ops

Nah, if it's supposed to be 2 hours it's def bugged on Hedarr Soongh too. Something's up. Really, REALLY, stupid that this only drops off a static world boss, that won't even spawn.

Been sitting here for over 2 hours on Hedarr Soongh and he hasn't shown up yet either

I'm sorry but I DO NOT agree with dps medals being fine, So many times I see dual classers getting both their healing/tanking tanking medals and all the dps medals, Full dps classers need more medals.

Yeah I know when our guild is against each other we always do our best against each other cause then it's gloating rights in guild chat.

And this change would help.

Idk, but when people start naming their rep characters pebblethrower and rockspammer, and other "rock" based puns, something might be up with rock...

Haha, you haven't seen the ridiculous grind from 50 to 60, adds on an extra 5000 valor each level.

EXCEPT YOU STILL GET THAT 10% DEFLECTION ON TOP OF THAT! When all our abilities are channeled for 1.5 sec or longer, this takes time and that one hit being deflected can be all it takes to lose a 1v1 that you would've won. And I'm in all Champion gear and there's no real way to know if I technically do more damage than the other dps classes cause there's no combat log, but from vids I've seen you get around the same numbers with yellow damage on these other classes in comparative gear.
