so this miraluka assassin walked into a bar. ya, he forgot to use the force.

yes, the problem isthe names they are using. there has been a global standard for centuries. if you cant use n/s/e/w. go get checked for downs, you may have it. left/right is dependent on your n/s/e/w relation. so either give left/right based on only north. or use the standard that has worked since before computers.

well the fact that assassin trainings 25% dmg increase is broken, and the recklessness charges being used on energize not giving the 50% crit dmg. but the issue they see with the assassin is people building hybrid builds to make a broken class competitive in pvp. why not fix the broken parts and stop hybrid? just really shows where BW is taking this game. people aren't quitting because of a few small class changes. they are quitting because they have lost faith in BW ever being able to make the correct changes.

try pre popping resilience before he does the knock back. forces them to use force speed, just hit them with the 4sec cc and that is wasted too.

force slow works wonders.

and like i said in my post, lightning reflexes gives deflection a nice force boost as well, when you are being attacked.

ya and at 20k hp thats only 400 hp.

ya, you are right i forgot to move those points over. did not notice he put them there. and lighting reflexes bumps you form 8->10 force per second. for 15 seconds. its more then negligible.

no i posted the correct one. and this is from the shadow forums a while back http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=220727

http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200rsMozZhRrMzZf0cRr0z.1 has better force regen, lightning reflexes gives deflection a nice force boost as well, when you are being attacked. dark charges dmg proc is not that great to add 9% to. its a good build, my fav of the hybrids.

if they mess up hybrids for one class they will ruin it for all the other classes too, plus i have a mara, sin, BH, and sorc. the sin is the most fun to play.

there were no sub fees cause they did not need them. Factions, Nightfall, Eye Of The North, all new pieces of content.

name a game since 2000 that has not had these time sinks. the mmo market has gone in a bad direction. and there is a huge sentiment for a new style. just everyone wants WoWs money. so they think thats the best choice. edit, and it is 3am so it took a min. Guild Wars.

and thats the core of it. the eq/wow type carrot on a stick is a poorly designed mmo. its a crap game that needs gimmicks to keep players paying a sub fee. its why UO>EQ. edit, its also why DAoC was so great. the game is what hooked you not the gimmick side games.

im a UO player, and the free servers now have arenas and they are a massive hit. i quit wow before the burning crusade. and WAR pvp was a joke. open world ring around the rosy attacking empty keeps.

"it was something that we decided to start tackling because there was such a desire and demand to evolve it in that direction" hmm WoW saw that there was a huge desire for it.

ya we get it, wow had balance issues way be fore arenas, the game was made for carebares. yes they should have thought about pvp long before BC. BW has a PVP team im sure they can figure it out. game is still real early. posting the same invalid argument over and over will not make it magicly a good argument. wows mistake was bad pvp balance and arenas brought that to the forefront. vanilla wow i was 2 shotting everything under leather armor with my rogue. 1st line of that link' "We didn't engineer the game and classes and balance around it, we just added it on, so it continues to be very difficult to balance. " BW has a chance to balance classes. arenas weren't the problem. class balance was.

they also admitted that it was what was wanted from the community, they just ****ed it up by adding special gear.

thats all arenas are is pure pvp. nothing but pvp. hutball is closer to you golf minigame.

i really dont understand how people equate extra gear to arenas. its like you think you cant have a hamburger with with out cheese. ffs stop thinking arenas me special gear. areas are just a test of skill at playing your class. if people were calling for special gear then you would have an argument, but noone is.

ya wait and see dose not cut it. monthly sub fees and all. i will stay as long as this still works, but if that's the truth, then they will be losing even more subs. i know a lot of people that are not playing this game for pve, and hybrid builds give you more dynamic to handle more situations in pvp. so 1st move they make to going to force people to 31 point builds and im out. and i know a few others that rock hybrids that will be gone too.

ya competitive pvp is what was wanted, and is still wanted by a very large portion on the mmo community . the fact that wow made an unbalanced game, for solo and group pvp, is the issue with wows arenas. that was known way before they put arenas in. BW has a chance to balance things and then put in an arena. but sadly they will not be able to balance a wow clone.

heh at work now, but i will be checking it on my lunch break.

is this true? they really ****ed my build as well, and i will probably cancel my sub now.

ok you guys must all be bads, this is decent strat for people that get wtfpwned. the mid and a side node are the best, if you dont die you are not taking speeder bikes. and to rotate to stop a zerg is better from mid to a side node, not side node to side node. also the mid can be guarded with 2-3 using the warzone buffs. if i see a lot of people jump off and go to the side node at start, and no one goes mid. its easy win every time. we get 2 caps and they get one and we hold the entire match. if you send 4 and 4 to the sides we send 2 mid and have 5 go help the solo one that goes to the side node, you lose. you zerg one side we still have 2 mid still and the rest go to the side you left weak. and you can see where everyone goes from the start of the match.
