This rep just cracked up.

As a healer, I get wrecked far more often by a good PT. Mara's are annoying, but really just that - annoying. PT's are also boss in defensive huttball.

The medal system works so great. You get 11, your girl gets 3. Eat a wick bioware. That said, nice guard ^^

Oddly enough, this is what I thought they were implementing. It never occured to me that you would just randomly choose to kick someone already participating. I need to stop thinking the best of people.

Drat, somebody beat me too it.

Somebody doesn't optimize with modding.

If someone holding a door for you makes you think they think you're incompetent, you are way too sensitive and care way too much what other people think. That's not a nice, well-meaning man's problem.

Preface to say I have both an Scoundrel (Op) and a Sage. Sages are made to have energy consumption problems, but truely be the 'ezmode' healing class. I'm not saying that it doesn't take skill to play one effectively - the difference between a good one and a bad one is just a significantly smaller spread than the difference between a good and a bad scoundrel. I will say that I don't think the sage 'consumption problem' when played by a semi-comptetent gamer is truly enough of a problem. If they are going to have so many panic buttons, they should sacrifice longevity more than they already do. (There is no reason for me to run out of force in Ops). I would say they are easier, most notably because of bubbling. Bubbles are powerful in games with spike damage because it gives you that moment of recovery. Sawbones does get their insta-cast under 30%, and you could argue this is as good or better. HOWEVER, if upper hand is not up already (meaning you have to get lucky on a proc or cast a 2s induc) or EMP doesn't crit, you're pretty much screwed. Shield allows a moment of breathing room to actually get an induction off, and you can then cast hots/channeled heals whatever you need. I didn't want to believe Sages were OP. Then I rolled one.

You're confused I'm afraid. Giving women respect and desiring to protect them is so disgusting and chauvinistic. Give me a man that doesn't mind me getting beaten up and likes to smash womens' faces in. YEAH! Regardless, I like my Corso funny, good-hearted and a little on the jealous side. Irresponsible losers are created by feminists. Why try to hold a door open when the ***** is going to turn around and slam your man-toy in the door for it?

I've got a sawbones and a seer, both set up for PVP heals. Yes it sucks. However, few people do it and you get more comms from winning a match than from losing. I tried going DPS on my sage in the 1-49 bracket, but nobody was healing, or if they were, they weren't doing it very well, so I respecced at ~lvl 45, started winning a lot more. You could PVP and win matches EXACTLY as much as a tank, and you'd get battlemaster about 30% slower. Is it fair? Of course not. But Bioware doesn't like healing in PVP (trauma debuff anyone?). So my choices are get medals or win. I prefer winning.

I would agree with this, and thank you for solving a huge point of confusion for me. When I run pre-mades, sides work so well and it's efficient even against an excellent opposing team. When I queue solo, I have tried and tried to convince people sides is superior, but it never works out like I plan, and we always end up with a two cap, owning mid. Go figure.

I think I love you. Being l33t is great, being an ******e is bad. Hard to find extremely comptetent players that are also decent human beings. Funny that.

In Civil War... East/West Turrets or Mid/Side Turrets? Opinions on which strat works better and why? Discuss. Oh and I forgot, I'm in the pvp forums. Sorcs are OP, BW sucks, F EXPLOITERS! <All other QQ>

It is my opinion - and my main is one of those pesky sawbones you can't quite kill - that antagonizing a healer is MORE effective than killing one. Assign one obnoxiuos DPS class (lets say sentinals because that's the most irritating thing I can imagine next to a vanguard) to annoy the healer. Don't KILL the healer. Why you ask? What does this do? It keeps them from healing other people. So does killing them, but we all know how chaotic WZs are and most DPS have the attention span of a goldfish. So when you KILL a healer, they leave for a while and you might forget about them. Even if you don't, you still have to find them again, amidst all the purple lightening, knockbacks, terrain hazards and other players trying to kill you of course. Warning: This will have significantly less success if the healer is guarded or in a premade because instead of being used and abused, healers are lovingly cared for and our tanks even give us foot rubs in the spawn box. So a guarded healer will either feel comfortable enough to stop and throw a big heal (which really puts a mean dent in the amount of damage you already did) or you'll be dead because their guildmates will focus you down.

+1 And lol@ welfare bags.

+1 Moors mini here. Being able to turtle in NPCs when you were outnumbered also helped prevent the total zerg that is Ilum right now with faction imbalance. Where's the action? EC/STAB.... ./nostalgic sigh

Marry Me. Want no progression? Play a FPS. Improving your character = fun.

I want to make it clear that I honestly don't care one way or the other about the gear changes. My play is not going to be affected. My only annoyance is how pervasive the "make everything equal because i'm a special snowflake/carebear who doesn't want to put effort in" mindset is. That's all. Give the whiners gear. Just makes gearing alts and pwning the whiners all the more simple. Also, it might dramatically reduce the 3-year-olds screaming its not faaaaaaaaiiiiiiirrrrrrrr! I take it back, nothing will ever fix that.

I love how disgust at pure laziness and entitlement is interpretted as fear. Newsflash, not fear. If your "skillz" are so great, shouldn't be hard for you to win your warzones and get your dailies/bags done. The gear disadvantage is not nearly as significant as the whiners make it out to be. I didn't ding 50 til after the 50-only brackets. Been to Ilum twice, play repub. Grow a pair and just do the grind.

Didn't you hear? We don't discuss PVP-related activities. We just circle jerk QQ all day, so I think you posted in the wrong forum buddy. See: Useless failtrolls in this thread.

No need to be defensive or justify yourself. Losers don't like to work for what they have. Everyone should have equal opportunity even though other people may have actually put in effort and all that crap. Just keep spoon feeding them so they never get any better, they'll still lose just as bad in better gear. Then they'll QQ because BW should buy everyone the exact same computer and give them the exact same internet connection because they 'deserve' it.

Welcome to the entitlement generation. MMOs now imitate RL!

Agree. Will never happen though, people love to QQ.

Hate to say it, but you rolled the wrong faction. Pick a server with a high IMP faction (oh wait, you can pretty much throw a dart on the server list!) and roll pub. I assure you, you'll fine plenty of PVP action.

I think this is a FANTASTIC idea, but like most fantastic ideas, it would be abused. People would use the system for credit farming (ie have a friend kill a lowbie toon, get bounty, kill friend. rinse & repeat) Makes me sad, would be superfun.
