I always love how these ss's have a big red DEFEAT at the top... Looks like the healers were able to freecast.

Doesnt work for sent/mara. Camo doesnt break combat.

I can tell you that as a pub on The Fatman server, I can usually guess what the outcome of the match is by looking at the names of the players. 8-9 times out of 10 I'll be right. Also, it varies by time of day. At about 8am EST, all of us are on our mains, so wins are usually 80%. After about 2-3 hours when we finish our mains and next best geared alts, we all disperse, and the win ratio is more like 35%. I usually don't even bother playing wzs at this point. I'll just hop on one of my alts and grind out legacy. I assume many of the other pubs do the same.

I've seen it not work before. I think it's only on people speed hacking though.

Whew that was a doosie... Stacking Defensive stats! Yeah they don't work like you think they should. My Vanguard tank has a set of Modded out Champ gear with defense and sheild maxed. I'd say I used to get about a 5-10% increased survivability using this. It's actually so frustrating that I just tossed it in my bank and respecced DPS. If I spec for dps I usually end up doing 30-35% more dps than my tank build. I still have all my defensive cooldowns and they are all as equally effective. I can still switch to iron cell to guard a healer if I need to (although those are getting quite a few reductions next patch so I think there may be fewer out there). And the best thing is I can still use all my taunts to reduce damage by 30%. This means that I trade 10% survivability for ~30% dps increase. Hidden in the dps increase is that I can actually kill people faster thus improving my survivability. This is why many tanks completely ignore any tanking stat and prefer to use DPS gear and even DPS specs. You can still get all the "tank like" abilities you want and have a much higher DPS output!

ok redoing the math 1.0 * 1.0 * .58 * .58 * .73 * .58 * .30 * .73 = 3.1 % for 18K damage in 6GCDs Tell me a class that can't do the same damage.

props

thats already more than the 900 + 400 (tick) + 2.5K + 3.5K + 5K. = 12.5K Keep in mind those are all crits against a target with no expertise. now if we go out to 6 GCDs with the same assumption it's: 900 + 400 + 2.5K + 3.5K + 5K + 1.4K ion pulse + 5K railshot = 18K chances of this happening are 33% crit on normal skills 48% crit on HIIB. 45% chance to refresh stock strike, 30% pulse .33 * .33 * .33 * .48 * .33 * .48 * .30 = .08% chance

Sounds like a l2p issue...

Lmao... 2-5K punch? are you pulling these numbers out of your ***? Lets assume EVERYTHING Crits... and fully trinketed and buffed... 900 crit incendiary round +400 crit ticks, 2.5K stock strike, 3.5K assault plastique and 5K railshot. That's on a naked level 50. Tell me 1 other class that can't do the same damage in 4 GCD's lol edit:: Not to mention now you are completely out of ammo and have to autoshot...

Im full BM gear, using a matrix cube and a 2/8/31 point build. BM gear has the champ power/surge enhancements and using an adrenal, rakata stim, power relic, it is true I can hit for 5.1K. I've run the numbers and I think I could go as high as about 5.3K if i changed up my spec to get +6% aim, but that drops almost all my utility skills. Here is a piece of advice: stay out of 10m range. I laugh so hard when I see noobs pull me into melee range, when they are ranged.... *** are you thinking? If you keep me at range (which is is quite easy to do, using 1 cc to outlast my grapple) you will win 100% of the time. Also, if you cleans my dots / go immune... guess what? no railshot.... lmao. The caliber of pvpers in this game is really sub par. Anyone with half a brain could make me totally useless... No one takes a second to figure out why they are getting hit so hard. They just go to the forum and cry for nerfs...

I have to say that beating a maur/sent is tough but doable. In my normal Vanguard build I can usually win if I get some lucky procs. If I'm sheild specced in full defense/armor/sheild build I will win no matter what... it is just a matter of time. In this case if they can hit me it usually is <1K sometimes more, but I can shrug it off with almost 22K hp. Thing is most of us are built to vs. Force/Tech users since most WZ's are full of them.

Just got off the PvP panel in the guild summit. It doesn't seem like they know that shielding stats in pvp are completely useless as it only guards against white damage... The guy actually argued that it was in some way useful?!
