I wonder why it is never really consistent. Sometimes I take more % damage on the fall than others out of the same gates.

Interesting, what is this que dodge? I wish there was a way to track the wz quitters so you could kill them afterwards in the fleet, or wherever.

Yes. I did see that the Old Timers Guild is looking to do the Imps side that date also. But UT will be hosting the Republic side event, since most of the members are pubbies.

You have AT&T also?

Obviously you are not a heal sage then.

Universal Truth is doing it on the 24th an you are correct it is on the republic side. Note: No toes were stepped on in this PSA.

I play off tank, I know this is a necessity in ops. Also in PVP it just pisses people off when they don't see where that PT / VG is hiding when he reduces your attack on his heals. Shame that some on is fighting for the team.

You assume you are the only one hitting any form of root / stun / cc on a sage. You try playing a sage and go against a lolsmashmonky.

Yes, you do become a priority. I do this, I am guilty of it.

^^ this, when I play on my PT even though I am Pyro spec I still peel for the heals. There are WZ I go into on my heals and I get one person (hooodavooda you are my worst enemy on this) that will do nothing but chase me down. When I get some one that will peel I can drop high amounts of healing. It is not just dropping guard and staying near, it is also taunting like a mad man and getting them off your heals. When I am not playin on my healer, unless I am holding a group off a node until back up arrives, I will do my best to protect the healer. Problem is so many want to be bad ***es that they focus on how much DPS they can do or if they can carry the ball every time, that there is so much team work that is lost in most pugs.

I am with this guy, I am on the Shadowlands and one of the few sage healers I see. I know of several others that are awesome and when we do get pugged together we will win. Most with sage / sorc will respec so they can have the stun bubble, but you can't be a real healer AND have the stun bubble. Reason for that is I rely heavily on my pseudo cast heals, namely innervate / healing trance while dealing with constant interrupts. When I go into a WZ I am usually the only heals (not all the time but normally I am alone), with one who is off healing me some. I do see the same thing on the other side though. I also win more on my imps than on my pubs.

This is the part of the argument I don't agree, and as the same guys further states: And that is why I don't agree with the first part. The other factors are when grinding, if you luck out and hit that time spot when only the goods are on then you get what 60-90 comms max for every round that you are getting decimated in? I am patient enough and have WH gear on my 50's, but this claim I see usually from those who have other s to help carry them in the teams for wins. Which makes the grind easier. However I think those same people tend to forget that a good majority of people who do like pvp also hang with their friends and are not part of these elite guilds, thus the grind just sucks for most people.

Wasn't there for the Mara indecent so I cant say. No sure what you are trying to imply here, I do know that I have fought alongside you in WZ.

Then I should mention that I do have a 50 shadow and trooper on your server (EB) and have seen the same thing there with the lol smash monkeys. However the main server I am on now is a PVE server, and it is the same thing I saw months ago over on the Ebon.

So far the hacks I have caught were obvious and called out by everyone on both sides.

I find this interesting since my sage has 1300 exp, I am full healer build and I get nailed with smashes in the 7k range at least several times a day. I am wondering what you are up against. I know that I tend to get 5k range smashes on me in the mornings when the real pvp teams on our server are are not online. When they show up, you can see the difference. SO I am curious to your sample times vs, who is online at that time.

This is the assumption that all sorcs /sages are built the same, what about healers? There is no room for them.

^^^^ This. I agree that having an auto crit which allows for less real thinking in that spec of things like accuracy or critical is the big part of the issue with the build.

Only if he stood there and had a staring contest.

I don't know how many times I see this where I will turn and run to intercept and it is great, because little ol me will slow them long enough that we cap two. And on rez I head to the node they were headed for, again usually dont survive here, but by that time the team has shown up and we hold them.

Not to mention that when casting anything while taken damage it slows the cast down. That and everyone assumes you have the stun bubble, but there are some of us who have the full healer tree. Problem with this is you can not be a real healer AND have a way to protect yourself to have a 1v1 fight when you are a sage vs a smash monkey, you only have one stun and a cast cc, which lets face it, more often than not some idiot hit him with aoe and lets him out early. But what is dumb to me is the smash monkey jumps on you and you hit force wave to knock him back so you can drop a heal or bubble, then a stun to run and bam they have full resolve, whereas my resolve will never hit full with with them using their roots and force choke. SO that one CC yeah it is gone, if you try casting it then you are going to be near dead by the time it goes of since you have to stand still while casting it. NOW yes there are other specs, but I am talking from the healers perspective and not a dps sage/sorc.

I do not see that going well, at first it might be fun, but it wont take long before one massive group will utterly dominate and abuse any others that enter the area.

Yes you can, Gardian / sent vs sage / sorc, the healer will die real fast.

Spoken like some one that really hasnt faced the never ending losing streak the RNG and que give. I have had to "grind" gear on two servers, either way once I hit 50 I do the daily's and the weekly if there is a streak going on, other than that it is pointless to get facerolled against the normal premades that exist on our server and you get to face over, and over, and over again while "grinding." At least in sub 50 you can have more fun and it will be more of a random luck than what I see at 50. Now this may not be true of all servers, but for some of us it is. It wont take me the month of grinding at sub 50 to be considerably more effective than it will at the 50 bracket when pugging it.

He should be shot, never calls out incs and takes only guard duty.
