Worst part of their grind is that its just a means to an end, there's NOTHING to do with the gear once you get it. No achievements, no ladder system, nothing to boast about except the amount of time you wasted... kind of similar to Warhammer Onlines Renown Rank system... "Yay i got it... now what?" :/

Commandos are so Op with their delayed animations and only ever having to fight Sorcerers and Powertechs... i wish i was a commando, instead of a crappy merc where i have to fight Gunslingers and Jedi and other Commandos who can't avoid my Tech dmg! ITS NOT FAIR

I thought it went without saying, but usually whatever burst i can apply is mitigated by Dodge and Cleanse...

I just can't do it, we have 0 abilities to avoid their 100% tech dmg , if i break out of the 2 second stun i'll be eating a 4 second stun if i break the 4 second stun i'll still have to have eaten a 2s stun and i'm generally below 50% HP before i can even move and using cc breaker ensures that i wont have anything to break out of their snare so gaining range is an impossibility. I just dont know how to overcome STARTING the fight being forced to burn CC breaker and being under 50% HP every time.

I was fighting this Sorc the other day and he started to Force Lightning so i interrupted him, he force sped away while immune to CC and there was nothing i could do to catch him :/ I started fighting this Power Tech, he laughed at my dmg and 4 shot me :/ I was fighting this other Gunslinger and we both threw out our anti-cover abilities, then we both rooted eachother, then we both blinded eachother, then we both ran up and kicked eachother in the nuts. At this point we both figured whats the point and switch to attacking the Commandos :/

Power tech and Sorcerer are the only classes anyone is meant to play.

The absence of Guild Wars is what keeps me playing

SWTOR needs more distractions than PvP, even if they add 3 new maps they would still get boring and then what do you do? There needs to be things players want to do besides Raid and PvP ... (crazy concept im sure)

I see this every time i stun or root somebody in voidstar then run to the side of them to knock them off the bridge... Just to see them get launched toward the door im trying to protect instead! :/

Personally, yea i think if a hybrid class is capable of dealing the damage of a pure DPS class, they shouldnt also be given the benefits of being a tank or healer at the same time with no compensation to the DPS only classes. But thats just me.

EverQuest combined 3 Years DAOC combined 3 Years Wow 3 months per expansion Warhammer 4 months AoC 1 month P1999 1 year SWTOR...as soon as GW2 is released

Do the math where Full auto can be Dodged/Deflected and mitigated by Armor, and has a 15 second cooldown.

Theres about an 75% chance that whoever i die to in a WZ is probably a Sorc... because 6 out of 8 people in WZ's are Sorcs, its an inevitability

Yea... i figured that

Sorcerers just don't know what its like to be one of the "have-nots"...

Different game sir, Stances are in this game and Bioware has already shown that they don't want classes being able to Tank and DPS at the same time (nerfing Shadow/Assassin stance dancing) So why should Sorcs be special and be above that rule when it comes to Healing and DPSing? No other class can take Top Dmg and Top healing in the same WZ, its broken.

Have you ever played a Dirty Fighting Gunslinger? My guess is you haven't stepped outside of playing a Sorc at 50 if you think you've got it rough. Imagine if you will, you have to set up 4 (2 dots 2 debuffs) abilities and a self buff THEN do a 3 second channel... which has a 9 second CD btw... to match the dmg a sorc does but applying 1 dot and then using force lightning.

INTERRUPT FORCE LIGHTNING YES!!!! that solves everything! sorcs dont have any other abilities to compensate for a few seconds like multiple forms of instant CC or bubbles or heals of speed to LOS or a secondary nuke... derp derp derp

2 months of Bioware avoiding the topic as well... No mentions of any fixes coming to any of the voiced issues by the community. So yea, just keep on sitting there twiddling your thumbs in bliss i guess.

Mercenaries already have stances and have to spec deep into their healing tree so as to not go out of ammo/overheat quickly. Operatives are a melee range fighter for one thing so throwing out DPS and switching back and fourth between heals is about 10x harder than it is for Sorcs and they have an extremely limited Energy Bar which would deplete in a matter of seconds if they attempted to swap back and fourth between healing and DPS in a single fight. Pretty much, if a Merc or Operative starts to heal themselves or friendlies in a fight while specced to still do damage, they couldn't switch back to doing significant dmg because their limited Energy/Heat bars would be depleted/full. And vice versa, attempting to DPS as a healing spec they arnt going to accomplish much but tickles that even a Gunslingers defense screen could absorb while running themselves out of energy which stops them from being able to do any significant healing.

5-9 is my range of medals... then i cry when i see a powertech with 11 medals :/

I think thats a fine idea.

Flat out prevent them from casting heals/shield while in DPS stance or make them take 2x as long to cast them or something. these Sorcs doing 500k Dmg and Healing at the same time is just ridiculous.

Snipers and Gunslingers are the only class whos design is only capable of countering themselves. Cover only works against other snipers... Dodge only works against other snipers... Diversion is designed SPECIFICALLY for use against snipers... Wish we had a single ability to mitigate any Force or Tech dmg :/

Congrats on your 9 month old computer, i built mine 6 years ago.
