when bioware created a game based off of gear, the true pew pew PvPers went bye bye... sorry, guild wars 2 is that way ----->

mercs/commandos also heal just fine on the move btw, I am constantly healing with my rapid shots for 1200 a second.. lol i can spam it on the run, show me another class that can do that. sorry but i was in this crowd of "mercs suck , blah blah blah " but they don't, I have full battle master on my merc healer, and i am excelling, The class is extremely gear dependent unfortunately, maybe the people complaining about mercs have very bad gear? also anyone that casts concussion round is doing it wrong in my opinion, use the cd to make it instant and bam! instant long stun. also, the knockback snares those it knocks back, giving you ample time to get away and get at least 3 heals off before people are near you again. mercs are fine, but heck i am with pepperr, lets give us a buff and make the good ones unstoppable, and the bad ones last 2 secs more. lol one thing i want changed though is the trooper animation for hammer shot heals... it is AWFUL, nothing says HEY PUGS I IS A HEALER ATTACK ME better than a bright green arrow to me... make it like rapid shots where it heals by the bolts.... PLEASE!

I see all these posts about how people spend time just healing themselves, and I find myself thinking... ok... with multiple people attacking you, and you healing yourself, you are in effect helping your team immensely, anyone you take out of the dps equation helps people. also, its not that hard to heal well in good gear, in lower gear, merc/commandos do not do well. they are a very gear dependent class. Oh and the commando green beam is called my DPS homing beacon!

2x Pyrotech Powertech 2x Hybrid Juggs 2x Marksmen Snipers 2x Healers (any class works, though preferably operative/bounty hunter) 2x pulls 2x ball carriers with good dps 2x defenders (snipers are the best defense in hutball and wherever tbh) plenty of heals with great dps

i was gonna say, I have a full WH buddy that is a powertech, he rolls face all day long, and there is a few shadow tanks that can rock him without heals... you might do low damage compared to a pyrotech PT, but you do not do less damage than a a jug tank ESPECIALLY since the stance nerfs . 5k crits are on rage spec too btw... i have never seen a tank jug hit for more than 2.5 - 3k with smash.

expound a bit on that... i don't quite get what you are saying

Here is the scenario, I am a sniper in pvp, absolutely love it, but recently I have been getting a glitch that is taking the skill/fun out of my sniper. this is the cover glitch. I will start by saying that i am a "take cover in place" player who uses the roll to cover mechanic to help me with kiting. meaning I take cover in place somewhere where if i get a melee on me and my balistic charges come down, I stun get up roll away. it adds another way for me to get away from my enemies. lately, I have been doing this to end up stopping halfway through the roll and standing there, absolutely ruining my rotations, also allowing that melee to jump to me because i am not in cover. this is VERY frustrating has anyone else been having this problem with cover? ALSO, entrench isn't working in natural cover (meaning the cover that you are allowed to roll into.) I have done lots of testing and if my character is not perfectly lined up with my natural cover, entrench will not work. has anyone else had this issue? if so, speak up to let bioware know there is some problems with the cover system that need fixing, there are tons of issues that i wont list here, but these are the two main problems that need to get fixed asap. I put this in the pvp forums because this is mainly an issue in pvp, It happens in pve but its not as detrimental.

As an advocate for removal of expertise, the argument "raid people will have better gears than me!" "oh noes", is nothing but smoke... each class deserves set 50 stats, you come in as a gunslinger, you have certain stats, you come in as a scoundrel dps you have certain stats, scoundrel healing, certain stats.... pvp is about skill, balance is achievable, and you do NOT alienate your player base, cause lets face it, how many people want to suffer for weeks upon weeks to get the gear, ESPECIALLY if they are a casual player, WHO has a job, and a family to take care of, and adult responsibilities. Gear progression belongs in PvE, set stats belong in PvP, it is by having set stats that a company can even hope to achieve balance. nuf said. (btw before you cry wahhhhh, scrubby, go play something else, I have 1 full WH geared char 2 bm/wh mixed, and I still hate expertise.)

what spec are you running? and what is your gear? you did a good job. what is your point allocation.

the thing is.... they KNEW that a ton of people re-rolled to the higher population servers... this would be an easy fix if they just made those servers with the higher pops be able to move to whatever ddestination server they want! 3/4 of these high pop servers are full of gosh danged RE ROLLS! If they allowed for the high pops to go to wherever/whatever type of destination server they want then people can EASILY consolidate their chars. Come on Bioware... use those brains of yours. this is a simple thing that will allow them to have a majority of their player base be happy. The reason I am so frustrated is, they were so damned vague on the details that my entire guild went to the only server we saw that was always standard besides Fatman... and that is Canderous Ordo... We are a PvP guild but didn't want the que times with Fatman during prime time. NOW we are stuck on a danged PvE server where the people are AWFUL at pvp (and by awful... I mean realllllly awful) . Bioware, Listen to me, just make the high pops available for transfer to ANY destination server. problem solved....

I am not. It is not my fault they took FOREVER to make this service available, Its not my fault all the servers died.... so why the freak am I being punished for continuing to play this danged game!? if I had quit my sub and not rerolled on another server all my chars would have been together. BUT NO... i stayed loyal, and now I have 50's on this server and that, AND NO TIMELINE on when i can bring them together. this is by far the most limited, useless server transfer there has ever been... the ONLY way they can fix this is to allow the High pop servers now, EX fatman, canderous ordo, swiftsure, ect... to transfer to ANY of the destination servers, then all the rerolls can consolidate their chars.

After reading in the last few pages it seems it answered my question about toons spread across servers. So i propose a new question.... If we email customer service with requests to consolidate all our toons on a server, would you be able to assist us? I had to make a new toon due to a dead server, and now there is no available way for me to bring all my toons to one server? Please tell me you will work with us... I want all my toons together Bioware. I enjoy the legacy, i want to earn rewards for legacy, please tell me you will work with us on this.... any response, whether it be in personal message or on this forum would really be appreciated.

Yes and No. I have a blast with my new toons I made on an active server, I however don't have as much fun with my 50's because Daviks Estate is Dead! I end up playing the same people over and over, hoping i get in with the premade of 7 that keeps running so i can win a few matches... I love my 50's but the ghost town of Daviks Estate makes PvP very unfair and not fun anymore.

I heard, when the first marauder was born, God saw their power and went into exile,henceforth, the marauder became known as OMGBBQWTFHAX... end... of ... story

this is what all of our guild has pretty much decided... when GW 2 comes out, we will continue our subs to this game, but only play it raid nights to take advantage of the lack of endgame content. We all did the GW 2 beta and were amazed at how much was already in the game IN BETA! this game has no excuse to not have things such as dual spec, server transfers, x server ques, these things have been out WAY too long not to have in release. it was just lack of effort on BW's part IMO, and now they are playing catch up.

I know you may not want to hear this, but re roll on a dif server, one with High population, then when server transfers come you can move the rest of your toons to that server. I finally bit the dust and went to a high pop server, and have really been enjoying my time. just a suggestion, you know, to bide you over til june when they release the server transfers.

I used to pvp in this game, until i took an arrow to the knee...

mhmm yeah, any sniper that gets in a position to let you line of sight him is a scrub, and obviously you know NOTHING about snipers, snipers can take a beating like a champ, and dish out more than adequate damage to kill you, In one volley I can EASILY take 3/4 your life... and by easily, i mean EASILY. You know nothing about snipers if you say we have one defensive CD, learn about the class before you come on here running your mouth. I have played both classes I know them both, actually play a sniper and be good at it, then come back and say your marauder can beat me 1 v 1... k thnx bye

ORRRRR maybe you need to UP your game, what build are you running? i am guessing marksman because you seem to think you don't have the defensive cooldowns to survive a 1 v 1 anything. there are some marauders on my server that can 1 v 3 guys and walk away, yet they run away every time they see me. I am the hard counter, I know my defensive cooldowns, i know their build, and what skills they use, so i know how to counter it, once again I emphasize NO marauder should stand a chance versus a sniper, too many benefits for the sniper (if they know what they are doing).

then you sir need to learn your class, not trying to be rude but seriously, no marauder should EVER beat a sniper 1 v1 nor should it EVER be a close match, You have range, roots, stuns, knockbacks, defensive CD's and a 3 second dodge to use when they try to ravage you , you sir should melt marauders/sentinals. there is not a single marauder on my server who stands a chance 1 v 1 with me.

LoL I melt marauders with my sniper, they come in, by the time they are in melee I have them down to 1/2 -1/4 health, knocke em back, they use undying rage, i root them, or if in melee range I stun them and type /laugh and let their undying rage wear of, and use takedown when it wears off. Me 3/4 to full health, marauder, dead.

personally I think that resolve should have more influence... I think that you should only be allowed to use your break on full resolve, and have it refresh on full resolve, this way people will be smart on how they cc, cause if you fill the resolve, people will break and have immunity from future stuns until resolve breaks down, that way CC break actually is worth while and not a "once in a blue moon" abilities. also the way it is setup in game almost every class relies toooooo heavily on their cc's thats why so many people hate it. resolve as it stands, runs down while you are in the spawn point... its useless.

Do you take the time to inform them about recruit sets??? They may be a fresh 50 and not know. 320k for the entire set, yet a lot of people don't pay attention to the forums/patch notes. Take the time say, "you do know you are a liability for the team with the gear you are wearing right???? You need to , after this match, go get yourself a full recruit set from the PvP vendor on fleet, not only will you be less of a liability, BUT you will have more fun in matches." And you might be surprised when they say "thanks, I had no idea." then you see them next match with full recruit on. Some people just don't know... its up to you to inform them.

yup... like has been said above, the amount of leavers in warzones was getting outrageous.. It is way better now. I feel, as a pugger, like if I make a difference in the warzone I will get rewarded no matter what. so I do my best to get the coms and I am more than pleased with the changes.

1) Sniper 2) Juggs/marauders, mercs 3) Power techs and assasins
