Awesome, a quick way to accomplish absolutely nothing? This is not a fix. A fix would entail a damage nerf as that is why PTs are overpowered. Reducing the range accomplishes nothing. A PT already has to be within 10M to perform their full burst. There is also this cool thing called grapple?

This. Concealment being bad is another myth from the forums posted by terrible players. Concealment has some of the highest burst in the game.

LOL? Is this a joke? Clearly buffing every class and spec in this game is easier than nerfing 2. Powertechs kill people far too quickly. If you were to buff everyone to the level of a Powertech you would merely upset more people with ridiculous TTK.

lol.....this entire post just goes to show how clueless you are about this game. Lightning has no force issues sure. Madness DOES have force issues in any form of long sustained fight. Not bad for a light armor caster? What exactly does light armor have to do with the amount of damage you deal? Cleanse protection is a joke? Ya because its pretty fair when most of a Sorc's damage can be just outright removed by one ability on a short cooldown, meanwhile direct damage classes arent or are barely affected by cleanse at all. So a 2 second heal would make Sorc squishy and unkillable at the same time? Those are two conflicting things. Pretty sure he meant a short cooldown that grants 10 seconds or so of interupt immunity kinda like pallys had in WoW. Its hardly enough to make everyone stop playing Mercs or Ops. LOL? Seriously? Yes im going to go read up on a blog that tells me how to magically not lose half my health bar to Powertech instantly. Clearly just by reading this blog the damage numbers dealt to my character will magically decrease for no apparent reason. You clearly have no understanding of this game whatsoever.

Pity that many classes can 1 shot it then?

Cause Bioware loves Marauders.

I guess that works, i thought mine was pretty cool tho Man cheat death used to piss me off lol.

Here is my suggestion for a better version. Guarded by the Force - Reduces your current HP by 30% and you take 100% less damage for 5 seconds. At the end of its duration you take 50% of the damage absorbed as a bleed effect over 6 seconds. Alternatively. Forget the 30% HP and make the blleed 100% with a longer duration. FIXED.

Its sad when you have to make a post about yourself saying that you're the greatest.

Is this a joke? That pvp is terrible.

I agree on points 1,2,4 these are all spot on. But as for reducing damage, i dont think damage should be reduced, rather PvP gear should simply have 5-10k more HP then it currently does.

Honestly Mercs are not all that bad, but i agree they need some kind of defensive cd or better kiting ability. But since Bioware probably wont do anything anytime soon.... Heres 5 steps to solve your problem. 1. Make a Powertech, level it to 50 2. Buy Legacy Chest,Helm, Boots,Gloves and Pants 3. Take out your WH mods and put them into Legacy gear 4. Send newly modded Legacy items to your new 50 Powertech 5. Enjoy playing a vastly superior class that will do more damage with just those 5 pieces and BM gear than your Merc does with full WH.

Ya i think giving you the option of buying the buffs would be good.

Ive seen plenty of jugg tanks on 2k teams.

You dont seem to understand this game or any MMO with PvP for that matter. In PvP if you are DPS class it is necessary to switch targets frequently. By telling me that 'its not an eng snipers job' to do this you are basically telling me its not your job DPS as a DPS class? Ok then, have fun losing WZ agaisnt decent players when you arent being carried.

Yes and my point is that you cannot kite a Powertech, something you are suggesting as a solution. You seem to have admitted a Merc cant do it You seem to have admitted a Sniper shouldnt do it(maybe) in this post. (Using your knockbacks and immoblizing isnt kiting) So all thats left is a Sorc. I just explained to you why its not possible. Roll a Sorc and duel a decent PT try it out, it wont work. Force speed is a 20-30 second CD, you will die in about 10 seconds vs a PT with his CDs up. Meaning you have one single speed which will be grappled. Sorc cannot cleanse PT slow or DoTs.

Uhh Heavy armor does not mean tank............so ya. I do think that speccing into Focus should remove the AOE component of your sweep tho.

Again, explain to me how you 'kite' a class that has 30M ranged abilities that hit for 4k, a grapple, 2 stuns and a slow. Please explain to me what class is able to do this and how? Since you say kite im assuming you mean a ranged class. - A Sorc will be 50-60% before he can even begin to run away. Force Speed? Oh no problem, Grapple, slow. You are dead. - A Sniper is better off staying in cover and popping Entrench, trying to kite a PT is stupid. You will get grappled in and owned. - A Mercenary, they have no slows except on their knockback, if you knock the PT back, you get grappled in slowed at which point you have no means of escape You cannot kite a Powertech.

Yes actually, i do have an idea of what im talking but clearly you dont. 1. Assassinate is technically the hardest hitting skill of Balance Assassin, but seeing as its only useable at 30% or less, as it is an execute. Meaning its not something you can consistently use throughout a fight, thus i did not include it. 2. Shock is crits for 2-2.5k, Death Field crits for 3-3.5k. So no, Shock isnt the hardest hitting ability. On a full WH target, even with proc you will probably get 3k total damage. Umm... last time i checked Madness/Balance didnt have energize....... so ya basically you're clueless.

K Keep playing a spec that cant rapidly switch targets effectively

Dealing 10k+ burst in 5 seconds as a Marks Sniper isnt contributing to your team? Your extra 'utility' really isnt something that other classes cant do better. 1. A jugg can more effectively snare a team by spamming their aoe slow, seeing as they can move while doing this and it lasts longer. 2. Any class can stop caps, the only advantage of your is that you dont have to pay attention, you press and forget. Sniper do some of the highest single target damage in the game, thats your job and what you bring to a team.

Funny how you claim to have an Assassin yet you dont know anything about the class and think that they have two 4 second stuns LOL. Assassins have one 4 second stun. Deception has one 4 second incapacitate, this is not a stun, it breaks on damage. Assassin has one two second stun, Spike. Seeing as you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, ill enlighten you. Spike doesnt 'let' you use electrocute, your ONLY 4 second stun. You can use electrocute whenever you want and it is off cooldown. Spike is an opener and should not even count as a 'stun lock'. It only lasts 2 seconds, meaning that you can only use 1 ability before its duration expires and you have to use electrocute. Even if you do this, your opponet has a second to react before the second stun applies. Since spike does very little damage and all of your high hitting attacks require set up, you accomplish virtually nothing by using spike to 'stun lock'. It is basically the same result as opening up from stealth with an electrocute.

More evidence you dont what much about this game. 1. Infiltration Shadows have more burst than balance, and have higher hitting abilities than balance. A full WH infiltration Shadow can crit between 4-5k on their highest hitting attacks. They basically have 3 attacks that can crit between this range. 2. Balance Shadows dont hit 'hard' they simply have good sustained damage and do aoe giving them high damage on charts. A balance Shadows highest hitting attack is about 3-3.5k and on a 15 second cooldown.

1. Any Marauder/Sent worth a damn will use his CC break, sorry but 'stun lock' isnt a counter 2. Stunlock implies you have more than one stun, most classes dont. LOL? 1. Same as above 2. Kite a class with 2 stuns, chain slow and a grapple and multiple 4k critting 30m ranged abilities? Really? Really? Prevent Bunker down? How? Unless this is the worst Gunslinger in the world, im pretty sure he will be able to use it. Most of your 'solutions' dont work, so no.

Next time look at his class, if it says Powertech or Vanguard you shouldnt be surprised.
