This times 1 million. I like to play in premades. It was mostly forced on me due to constantly having to queue against premades. It is completely unfair for the people who queue solo.

This is completely false. You can't do 500k dps in a wz with only "burst". One member of our pvp premade rolled a brand new vanguard with this spec and in all recruit gear he is already topping the damage chats (I'm talking he's in the 400ks) while the seasoned pvpers in war hero gear are lucky to break 300k. The class is totally broken for pvp. Sustained burst for a whole warzone is not "burst" it's just insane dps. I agree, we shouldn't break the class for pvE, but right now it is completely insane in pvP.

So a guy in my guild who got so sick of getting destroyed in pvp by a bunch of powertechs finally got his to level 50. Day 1. Recruit gear. He is doing 400k dps in warzones!!! Next closest guy is not even breaking 300k. Rated warzones are just going to have groups of these guys running around all throwing their sticky grenade on one dude and insta-killing him. It takes literally NO skill. Bioware - please do something to unbreak the ridiculously short time-to-kill that you implemented in 1.2.

Cross Server Queues - we have 3 pvp teams on my server that will be regulars. Let's assume that one of those teams is worse than the other two.. they will ALWAYS lose, pretty soon they won't queue. There sn't enough of a population to find teams of similar skill levels. Vanguards/Powertechs need a dps nerf - when specced correctly they have 2 instant abilities that do 4k to 5k plus damage (to someone with 1100+ expertise) plus another dot that lets them auto proc a crazy high dps ability. I'm seeing multiple powertechs doing 400k -500k dps in warzones. The other team cant survive long enough to do anything. Mauraders need defensive cooldowns reduced - you can take a marauder to 3% and then he or she can live for a VERY long time with all their defensive cooldowns. This wouldn't be a problem except they can melt your face already and have more survivability than a tankassasin Assassins/Shadows need their non-tank trees buffed and something to change in the tank tree. This is my class, yes I am an OP shadow tank in pvp. I would much rather play balance or infiltration but my tank spec does a MASSIVE amount of dps and I have a lot of survivability (a rare treat since the insane dps buff of 1.2). Let's face it, the tanks are just too powerful at this point, and the Infiltration tree is ESPECIALLY needing some sort of survivability to make up for being in paper-thin armor. I can't believe I'm saying this but sages/sorcs were nerfed too hard - pretty much all the sorcs on my server have stopped pvping. Maybe this is just due to the healing nerf - I don't know. These are all major problems. We lost another two great pvpers tonight on my server to Diablo 3 (they unsubbed). They were also raiders (2 bosses into EC hard mode) so they liked the pvE content too. 3 of the people I regularly pvp with have rerolled to be level 50 pvp Sentinels and/or Vanguards to simply try to compete with the other pvp teams on our server. Hopefully this will be addressed when we see some high level videos of ranked pvp warzones and the class makeup. p.s. I am level 82 valor, I'm not some poor dude who just hit 50 and is trying to pvp for the first time.

This x1000. In addition, I saw everyone in WZs today trying to win and more people queueing than usual. This was a good change.

Awesome! I kept looking for your "rocks" (kinetic ward) when you were KC spec and didn't see them. I then looked at your build and see that you don't include it. It makes a lot of sense now that I think about it, will use that when I go back to kinetic. Keep up with the videos!

Here is my first parse - would appreciate feedback on why my dps is so low, lol Spec: 2/31/8 http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/skills/Shadow#20-1vc2k18e2k-30f Gear: Full rakata http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/f141fd6e-3e98-4222-8f30-30c8f82b29b2 Stims: None Buffs: Consular only Dps: 1030 dps over a 6 minute fight (12:44:31 - 12:51:18) Parse: http://www.torparse.com/a/5881 going to try the other inf build and skip project and see what happens edit: ok new spec spec: http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/skills/Shadow#2032-1vc2k18e2k-3 parse: http://www.torparse.com/a/5923 (13:22:56-13:27:15) 1041 dps

Thanks, made me feel better about life looking forward to your future vids!

Great video, really appreciated when you slowed down for some of the epic moves - like the huttball throw - awesome Also enjoyed syncing up the music/sound fx with the action. I play a shadow as well (lev 71 valor) and I'm curious to know - are your overall dps numbers low in warzones? My team is always giving me crap because they are in the 400k+ zones and I'm lucky if I hit 200k. Thanks again, looking forward to watching more!

Love the teamwork shown around 6:00 on the vid. How do you target your enemies? Are you cycling through next target? Do you use target center of my screen? Click targeting? etc. Thank you for the vid and post, exactly how I wanted to play my shadow but have yet to take it to your level.

+1 same problem, SUPER frustrating

And yet you, just like me, are here surfing the forums. THIS IS CRAZY SON!
