A waist of time could be like a clock belt... or a certain body part acting as a sundial.

The free guard is worse than off-healing because putting a guard on someone does not interfere with dps output at all unless you guard swap. Spending GCDs on inefficient off-heals? Yeah that's a lot of damage down the drain for a gamble that may not even pay off.

Nerf operative. DPS tanks having guard is A-ok. Love live the sorc dynasty, the merc invaders will be nerfed shortly!

If you have a team of 3 plus a noobie who isn't ready for ranked it's an auto-loss against any decent team of 4. If solo ranked was 1v1 then sure, go ahead and screw around since it doesn't hurt anyone except you, but SWTOR doesn't have 1v1.

This just in: Teams of mercenaries are net-locking people into unsubscribing! Devs already working on taking away their burst and turning them into another gimmick class like dps operative.

You should not be doing ranked if you have a "lack of experience." Ranked is about playing with a team, it's not all about you.

Go back to RPing on your PVE server and assuming that no one but sorc mains have tried sorc and laughed at how OP it was.

If sorcs aren't the best at healing and dps for every single patch then the sky is falling. Merc has a net that counters their 3 lives so of course sorcs are mad. If I still cared about my old concealment operative main I would probably be mad about all the nets, but my class was neutered into a perpetual gimmick thanks to all the qqing solo-master sorcs, so I say screw them; let merc reign as king.

Already had to do that with sorcs, operatives, and snipers.

Why not? Already have sorc healers with overpowered burst to keep everyone alive, why not make the game even more of a snoozefest, since that's what bioware wants?

What game does this person play?

When an egotistical baddie that refuses to accept blame loses a match, there are certain likely results: 1) He claims that his team is bad and is the reason they lost. This requires the acceptance that he is not great enough to carry an entire team of other bads on his back; thus, it is more likely that this baddie responds with option 2. 2) He claims that the other team is cheating and rendering his superior status moot through... - Hacking: Baddies don't know much about game mechanics and often can't be bothered to read their skill tooltips or discipline boxes, much less those of other classes. Thus, their desire to be right dictates they blame their ignorance on the other party's "hacking". - Exploits: This is far less likely to occur, as noticing exploits requires that one understands how the game is intended to operate. - Premades: Yes, it is not his fault that he is pvping in an MMO solo and losing. It's THEIR fault! People who play together are cheating and that is the only way they can defeat him. If they were not in a premade, clearly they would be bad and he would have won. Were they really coordinating or was it just a better PUG? To the baddie, it doesn't matter: the other team has a better composition, NO, an unbeatable composition... a premade!

We have to know what topic this extreme tangent is coming from to get the joke and find it funny.

Know what else is totally unfair? When I'm solo queing and two enemies in a warzone both target me AT THE SAME TIME. Seriously, this level of extreme coordination needs to stop. Have warzones be 1v1 only so unfair teams can't work together to take down my god-like self. Everyone knows that in a fair fight, I would always win. Being an honorable warrior, I always toggle-walk to the enemy lines and demand that their greatest hero step forward to face me. They ALWAYS gang up on me. Know why? It's because they're AFRAID. Did they think they would be taking part in group battles or something when they entered the army?! Nah, they're just cowards!

B-b-but what if 4 of the solo pug players on the other team PvP a lot and know each other's playstyle well enough to work decently as a team?! I guess that would be totally unfair too!

Also, I like how much the original poster projects the "I need friends to help me" reasoning for premades. Players that have the learning capacity to improve and not suck all day, every day, tend to get better on their own and in doing so get recognized for their solo ability. This leads to recruitment into premades. Players that, like the OP, suck all the time and are hated by the decent pug solo players around them are not talked to and may indeed consider that "oh maybe I need someone to carry me." These players would probably prefer that premades be banned because they will never be in any of the decent ones and just end up making forum threads to highlight how mentally handicapped they are.

I am bad and no one ever wants to play with me. Solution? Ban premades.

Being able to improve like actual human beings.

Yeah, it might be worthwhile to play operative before they take away yet another core ability that defines the class. On the other hand, it might be best to just avoid wasting your time.

I would speak the truth and call out the thread creator for what he is, but I would probably receive a warning/ban if I did.

Wait... a sage is saying there are too many operatives (when sorc/sage makes up at least 25% of every warzone)... but also that their OPENER hits too hard?! Operatives don't have opener burst anymore Rip Van Winkle!

A healing sorc could do more DPS.

Give up on operative. Also, electro net is one of the only causes of sorc healer death. Convert to the anti-sorc class.

Roll is very powerful... when your opponents don't know you can only use it twice and only when you're not rooted/stunned.

Star Wars fans that don't like Star Wars PvP? I bet they went to the movie and just left the theater when the rebels starting shooting at stormtroopers. Can't have human vs human fighting!
