  1. Ncsoft is only publishing. Anet (formally known as blizzard north: The creators of Diablo 2) is the developer.
  2. Actually, most of us pvpers were trying to submit feedback on how bad ilum was turning out. Most of us submitting feedback were ripped to shreds by the swtor fanbois, as this game is somehow perfect and has no flaws. It got so bad that any kind of feedback or criticism was quickly deleted because it turned into a flame war within 3 posts. Those were the "omg swtor pvp amazing" people you are referring too. Those of us currently following the press beta details for gw2 haven't been disappointed yet. Unlike swtor which was getting mixed reviews at this point in development.
  3. So what you're saying is, by your logic.... You like Justin Bieber?
  4. GW wasnt as popular to look up as swtor at the time. SWTOR was the spotlight for a while because it was closer to release, and the fact that its bioware. Thats slowly changing now that the press beta is over and we're starting to get actual info. With the failure that is swtor pvp, its only going to increase now that the WvWvW videos are out. Now add this into the equation. Swtor was getting its fair share of good and bad reviews during press beta events. Guess what? There hasnt been a single bad review for gw2 yet. Go check ign, gamespy, mmorpg.com, all of which are saying this game beats anything that is currently released. Even the questing system that gw2 uses makes the old click and accept system that wow/rift/swtor use and turns them into an embarrassment. . And if there is a bad review, i'd certainly like to see it.

  9. I love all the "you rushed lawl" posts people keep throwing out.... You act like this game is hard and leveling takes long. I work 8 - 10 hours a day, and I hit 50 in about a month.
  10. Your "shielding in unimportant in pvp" comment on the Darkness tree makes you lose pvp credibility. Lacerate is also useful as it tags people trying to cap stuff.
  11. Fail on so many levels. Assassins can tank. ASSASSINS ARE MEANT TO TANK NOT DPS RIGHT?!
  12. 1. Battlemaster means nothing. See first day of 1.1 ilum where half the population got battlemaster in 3 hours. 2. I'll repeat again. I experienced both. I know the difference. The problem: The deception defensive talents need to be merged and replaced with more useful talents.
  13. This is 100% incorrect and killed you credibility.
  14. . Except AoE damage is a non factor. Aoe damage is incredibly low as it is. . 2% damage reduction is a tier 1 madness talent. To the talents above. No one specs them because they are useless. I will repeat again. Darkness talents add both offense and defense, such as energize. Deception talents do not. That is what this topic is about. The defensive talents of the defensive talent line have offensive components attached to them, thus allowing you to keep up in dps.
  15. If you're talking about the maul debuff proc. Thats a tier 1 talent, which any spec can grab. I use that in my Darkness spec with the leftover points. I'd say the damage difference is maybe about 10%. I ran with a group with deception spec. I switched to Darkness. I killed just as fast, and was unable to die unless overwhelmed. Again, i'm not saying Deception spec is less dps/burst than darkness. I'm saying the dps to survivability for speccing it isn't worth it at the moment, as the dps gain is low per loss of survivability. As in, I can burst a target in say 6 hits instead of 5, and still run off with 90% hp from the self healing and shields. Also note, Darkness has plenty of talents that increase both damage output while increasing defense at the same time. Energize is an example of such a synergy. Deception does not....again which is what this topic is about.
  16. I never said they were equal in dps What I did say is they are close. 3k maul crits with deception, 2.8k maul crits with darkness. My damage output on scoreboards also doubles when I use darkness. Add in the absorbs and self healing. Why? Because I can 1 vs 3 dps every now and then and manage to kill 1 before I die, something I cant do as a deception spec.
  17. I've used both for multiple weeks it really isnt
  18. Darkness spec does almost as much damage as deception, and has 2x the survivability. Basicly, its stupid to spec deception over darkness, as the damage trade off is almost not noticeable. FYI.
  19. Another example of someone who had no idea what was going on.
  20. If you think so, ill ask you this. What good came out of the ilum change?
  21. Here is a classic example of someone who probably doesnt even know the situation currently going on in ilum. Fanboi.
