Well you seem pretty enthusiastic about the changes, maybe you know something we don't.

Excellent, so the 1.2 changes are a buff?

This game lacks rare spawns/named mobs that drop loot unique to them. Give me a reason to hunt a specific type of mob. This type of mob drops a bit more cash, jawas drop a rarecrafting mat. Universal loot tables are mind numbingly dull and lazy.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Everyone says switch to Lethality, I would rather quit the game. Talk about an awkward and annoying set of skills. I will be cringing when these dps meters show up in 1.2 as a concealment Operative. Lukily my wife is the guildmaster so I may see a few raids the rest of the year lol.

Keep playing the IA storyline and you will hate the Sith as much as the Jedi do...trust me.

I wonder how this surge nerf will affect conceal dps? I really wonder about Bioware. I've already seen that their customer service is poor at best. At least let operatives know you are looking into their issues (concealment sustained dps, lethality's tree sucks/awkward and medic tree has talents that don't work).

So I should have kept my mouth shut when they nerf my damage approx 90 dps for A pvp only reason..... right....

Well at least their fix took care of those wildly OP pve concealment operatives!

"My staff is a good one" It's good to see Kralnor has made his way to swtor as OP of this thread.

I may try lethality for a bit. But that is one awkward tree. Mid ranged dps tree that requires you to be in melee range...wha??? Half the tree reduces cooldowns, now that's the definition of fun! I have a powertech that I will likely go to after the patch if lethality proves to be as silly as it looks.

If they would just come out and say Concealment dps was too high we would have to believe it (no damage meters)....however they haven't even done this. I think there is no doubt at this point that they don't really care what this does to PvE. I'm also starting to wonder if they have dps formulas or meters for internal testing. They obviously thought we were in line previously....what changed to our PvE dps since release?

No one has posted a good reason why our PvE damage is being nerfed. Are we doing too much PvE damage?

I almost think they haven't even thought about Concealment pve and what they will be doing to it. I think we are going to see alternate effects for these abilities in PvE and PvP, after testing. As many have said there is no reason that PvE needs to be screwed for PvP's sake. It really makes me wish the PvP crowd would have stayed with their console games...it's better PvP and takes more "skill" (as the PvPers always cry about in MMO's).

Are they really making this change for PvE as well? Why would they do that? They have the ability to make this crap PvP only right? There is no reason that PvE should ever be affected by PvP. MMO companies have been doing this for years for no good reason. I really didn't want to be lethality (why would I want to use a shared tree) but they are forcing the PvE concealment that direction.

Please tell me this is for pvp only?

I prefer vector for all but elites. Vector does too much dps to sideline him. I use lokin for elites or vector if im feeling adventurous. Kali is one of the worst tanking comps in the game, not to mention her dps is poor. So poor tank poor dps. I would use any other comp over her.

Hopefully they dont nerf pve along with pvp bs. Operatives are definitely not op in pve.

I'm using Vektor, however I don't have all companions at this point lvl 39. He just does too much damage to sideline him. As concealment the two of us rip through stuff fast enough that I don't need a healer. Tried Lokin but that slowed down kill speed quite a bit.

I think Blizzard listening to the forums and catering to people that wanted to make the easier patch after patch are what ruined that game. I hope Bio sticks to it's guns on most things that would "dumb down" this game. I don't need to be instant ported everywhere as some would suggest.

I'm in 9/27

September 27, I expect tomorrow.

Just wanted to thank you for this. My wife was just having issues with Framerate and she did what you said and her Framerate jumped! We were just about to go out and buy a new video card.
