That may be true, but IMO highly unlikely such chivalrous progression guilds exist. I dont think they exist on my little server but know way telling ofcourse. That are two completely different things. The higher than intended gear check of PUGS will still happen, even without bugs. You can also state that PUGs are more likely to carry 1 or 2 undergeared players because the rest of the ops is overgeared.

I REALLY don't know what the fuss is all about. First let me state that i haven't done any ops in 3.0, i don't even know exactly what the BUG is about. Yes, a bug, not an exploit. But why are people falling all over eachother because BW failed once again? Yes there is a bug and yes apparantly people have made extra comms / achievements because of it. But does that hurt the people who didnt know about the bug? No. I can see if guilds are going for world / server first, this may be a thing. But dont you think any progression guild didnt know about this bug? Ofcourse they all know about it, so there is your even playingfield. So why all the complaining? Instead of BW threatening with bans, they should apologize for all the bugs, lag, complete lack of communication since 3.0 and, this is purely my opinion, the lousy x-pack they call 3.0 with little pve content and no pvp content at all. This bug doesnt affect me, but the minute BW throws around bans because of exploiting the PvE bug OR the Pvp bug, i cancel my sub that has been ongoing since launch. And no, you cannot have my stuff. And why? Because it is a smack in the face of a loyal paying customer to blame the paying customer for the complete and utter **** they call 3.0. And btw, IF BW things exploiting this bug is a big deal, they should have put up a patch ASAP and not wait until tuesday

In PvP no. Dont want my DoT up all the time, i need my mezz.

SWTOR is a great game at its core. 8 different stories, many different planets, fully voiced and all backed by a strong IP. They have invested a lot of money in this game and now they are milking out and that imo caused some of the "hate" towards this game: First of all there is a cash shop which consists mostly of stuff that was already ingame and gambling packs. They only sparsely introduced new content (HK, GSF, Makeb, SOR) and that content was not up to the standards of the vanilla game. Other stuff was implemented to, again, re-use existing content like achievements, reputation grinds, housing and conquest. Most important of all: there is a severe lack of communication between BW and their customer base, and BW has this 9-5 mentality, focussed at their American players. Yeah ofcourse they are humans as well and deserve their holiday. But most people have time to play their game DURING the holidays/weekends/evenings, so THAT's when you have to be there for your paying customers.

exactly

You are aware the operative healer nerf was done because "to bring operative healing down to a level that allows other healers to be more competitive and prevents Operative healing from trivializing PvE content that is meant to be challenging." ????? Quit blaming pvp-ers, they paid for the game just as you did

All i see is abilties that some other classes also get. So much for class difference:(

HAve you tried http://tor-fashion.com/? Find your outcast helmet , scroll down and look for similarities.

I am a bit more cautious about it myself. Yes we can use it more often, but if we do, will we not be getting energy starved?

Only the Gree vendors have an off hand BoL item AFAIK.

No dev posts at all, so i think they have a day off or something. Anyway, not surprised at the bad communication.

Why not give weakening blast a 100% proc to fatality? Get rid of the RNG, procs from 10m, and the dps gain/loss is almost zero. About our questions: From a dps perspective, i think we are fine in pve, but i am not a progression raider. In PvP, we should be slippery. But almost every other class has the same amount of escapes (rolls, leaps, forcespeed, cloaks/camouflages, hydr. overrides) etc. while having more defensive cooldowns. I think this should be adressed. Wildcard: I want my KD back!

you need Snave. He is a good pvp-er, willing to help and stays positive even if we get nerf after nerf.

Ok, i admit it is strong in HB, but not OP. So what if operatives can roll through traps, other classes have pulls, knockbacks and leaps. Each class should have its own strengths and weaknesses. The class doesnt have many other uses in HB, besides waiting in endzone. Ofcourse, i am talking dps opers, not you healers.

Still I cant see why it is OP that an operative can roll 24 metres in 2 GCD, opposed to leap in 1 GCD. And what about force speed? Some classes do have an advantage over the others in certain aspects,. it doesnt mean the ability has to get nerfed.

I am all for class differences but why should operatives not be allowed to roll full while carrying the ball? Leap and force speed arent any different in that aspect.

Ehhhh no, reading back my words, i didnt say that. I was just talking about the damage output of 1 single hit.

i might be wrong, but i thought that a autocrit smash > 1 tick of (critted) OS

Although i am not saying there isnt anything wrong with DA, this particular event could have been caused by the fact that the Sin might have use his AoE taunt. Common Sin strategy to get you out of stealth.

That is the Reinforced Diatium Belt, craftable by Synthweavers. I can craft them for you if you are on the Progenitor.

I play a leth op. both pvp and pve. The damage is fine, certainly in pve. The major downside in pvp (apart from the squishiness) is the setup time to do some real damage. Only after about 5 GCD (depends on the situation) you can have burst damage

Can you please enlighten me on this one?

No offence, but i actually lolled at that duel with that other sniper. Breaking cc from a flasbang isnt even the worst but neither of you tried to loose LoS? For the rest keep doing what you like

For levelling dps i would go concealment, as leth will start to shine only at end lvls.
