    Darkness PvP

    Short and to the point: Focus or Shield?

     

    Focus unless PVE tanking

     

     

     

     

    Rather than make a new post, thought I would just jack this one.

     

    Since the changes to surging and what not what Relics are people running now?

     

    You should have always been using power. I use one Champ and Battlemaster so they don't share a cool down.

    Why I'm dumping my level 50 Assassin tank for another main character

    in Shadow / Assassin

    There is something incredibly wrong with the assassin tank gameplay.

    When I play a tank I like to keep my eye on the overall fight and check who's getting agro or not.

     

    Playing an assassin tank in this game is frustrating, as instead of looking at the fight, you find yourself looking at the buff bars. The main issue is the Dark Ward buff.

     

    This 30% shield buff will dissipate after it shields 8 times, or after 20 seconds, whichever comes first. There's no obvious graphical effect either, so you really do have to spend the fight looking at the buff bar. I'm not enjoying though group fights anymore. For me this competence is a filler, it doesn't add anything to the gameplay, in fact, it ruins it.

     

    This is agravated by the charges for lightning, which also have no graphical effect when you reach three and thus also need you to look at the buff bar. To make things worse, you also need to look at the enemy's buff bar so you know when your DoT is done!

     

    Keep in mind that on top of these annoyances, we still need to look at our cooldowns so we really can't spare a second to look at the actual fight, and keeping track of the agros is often at the expense of efficient tanking.

     

    This wasn't as much of a problem leveling up as fights tended to be more or less all the sma and you learn when your buffs are up by instinct, but tough group fights things are far more irregular and the attention that the buff bar requires is ridiculous.

     

    Basic common sense should make you ask a question every time you add an *active* ability to a class. Is it going to improve or deteriorate the gameplay?

     

    The worst part is that this game has actually too many abilities, some of them could easily be merged. This is the main reason I'll never offer my girlfriend to pick up this game, I can put up with getting used to my 40 quickslots, but she won't and I won't make her.

     

    Anyway, I stopped playing my assassin after reaching fifty, I spent a lot of effort getting her good stuff but I just don't find the gameplay enjoyable. Maybe I'll try again if dark ward becomes a perma buff or something.

     

    If you don't like it that much don't use Dark Ward. I'm full deception spec and with pve tank gear I have been able to tank every HM and EV HM. Only thing I havn't tried is NM EV.

    I have not tanked as other classes but tanking as an assassin is overly easy. Not sure why you're having a problem.

    Deception is NOT for pvp

    in Shadow / Assassin

    I decided to humor a guy by going deception again (for the hundreth time). Now I remember, again, why it sucks so badly. You have less damage than a marauder or Operative. Then you have less cc, shield, or survival ability of both.

     

    If your a deception assassin in pvp then you have no clue what your doing.

     

    Think outside of the box. Deception works great. You're missing something. You will know it when you see it.

    Please BioWare, please, take the bug report off the key that is located at the left of the number 1.

     

    I tried rebinding that key to another function and still opens the bug report.

     

    Please, set it somewhere else and use that key to something that actually dont mess with your fighting when you missclick the 1 or just leave it open.

     

    Its an easy change, please, its so annoying...

     

    Thanks.

     

    It's the tilde key and I was able to rebind it fine. Not sure what I did different.

    bugs and Bioware attitude will shut this game down in max 3 months

    I was accepting bugs at launch... but now this is starting to be a joke... I have a question...

     

    BIOWARE, ARE YOU AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING?

     

    The thing is, with every patch, there are more bugs =)... that is funny but it is sad... In MMO genre there are 2 critial points when you loose subscribers no matter what you are doing, but if you are doing it like bioware... well the subscribers will drop like there was atomic bomb somewhere =)... Critical is 1st month (its free) and 3rd month (when you loose all players that subscribed for 3 months, if you are doing it like bioware)..

     

    Last thing to say... the game does have potential... but im afraid it will be too late when all will go smooth..., all subscribers will be lost and when you lost subs... you hardly got em back ( more games incoming), if you do not give something free, but when you give something free... its already too late.

     

    GG Bioware... NOT

     

    If they subscribed for 3 months then shouldn't they be worried about the 4th month when there subs would renew? Math it's a hard thing.

    How can they justify their maintenance schedule?

    First they postpone the patch (presumably because they found a problem) and reschedule it with hardly any notice now they need to release another patch to fix a problem (again with hardly any notice). This isn't the first time either.

     

    Not to mention they're always unnecessarily vague about why. And the downtime always seems to occur when I play the game most.

     

    "But the game needs fixing! You can't have it both ways!"

     

    Maybe so, but the way in which BioWare has gone about implementing these fixes has made me lose faith in them and the service they provide. I'm not going to pay for a service I have no faith in. Plain and simple. And it's a shame because I was starting to enjoy the game and was thinking about re-subbing.

     

    No you can't have my things.

     

    If they didn't do them fast you would be crying they take to long to push out patches. Really no one cares what u think. Stop wasting your time with post like this.

    I have np killing people on my Lv32 Assassin. I have found that if u wish to kill people don't roll tank spec also you have to fight each class different. Learn there skills and use yours to counter what they do.
