The problem with expertise is that it takes away strength and endurance, so it is trading damage and survival for just a different kind of damage and survival.

How does the deserter debuff prevent the afk in a corner?

3 medals would be fine also.

Change the weekly/daily from wins to completions with at least four medals. That encourages people to stay until the end and participate rather than leave as soon as it looks bad or afk.

Look, without logs and parses it is impossible to know how much of an impact expertise really has. What we know is that because expertise is on the armoring the item budget for expertise takes away a large chunk of your main stat and endurance, so you basically trade away survivability and damage for survivability and damage, so even if expertise is better it is not THAT much better than pve gear. It really depends on class, take a marauder for example, they heal 2% of their total hps each time one of their dots crits, can you really guarantee that having 12% dmg resistance is better than a much higher hp pool and crit rate? well, i don't know. I know it would be damn close though. On the other hand for a healer class having "stronger" hps because of high expertise is better than having a larger hp pool, because it makes his heals doubly better. The game is still in it's infancy but i have seen people dominate in pvp gear and i've seen people dominate in pve gear. The main stat/endurance penalty you take for wearing expertise gear makes the gap between the two almost negligible.

Nobody is going to wear anything except critted oranges as soon as those come out anyways.

I just can't stand logging in and playing him at all, even for queueing up crew missions i am sitting in unmodded orange armor instead of my full champions gear. I'm a marauder now, a much inferior class that doesn't make me feel like an idiot for playing.

I leave warzones when the people on my team are complete idiots. Forcing me to stick around and play with a bunch of morons instead of just leaving would lead to a fast cancelation. Do you stick around in a flashpoint group that keeps wiping to the first trash pack? no? then why the hell would you want to force someone to stick around a warzone that lets the other team plant a bomb in the first 20 seconds?

It's off the gcd, it adds burst and it lowers the cd on cloak of pain. I use it all the time.

The medal system works fine in voidstar and alderaan because the fighting usually takes place were you need to be anyways, yes sometimes you get unlucky and your door or your canon gets completely ignored but that is not often the case. In Huttball though focusing on medals is completely detrimental to your team, you can't even make the medals huttball oriented because that would lead to selfish play (pass the ball? hell no i get a medal for scoring, etc).

How? just running hard modes?

This is really really bad, please stop defending it.

The heal on cc breaker will get you the healing medals if it crits.

Get one relic and one matrix shard relic.

It's a utility nerf, it doesn't actually affect us as a class. It's not like people won't take us on raids, our damage is sick.

What's wrong with bleedout?

I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that pve gear is superior for pvp still. Full BM gets you what? 14% more damage done, 14% less damage taken, 14% more healing? is pve gear THAT much better that i can swing the fight more than all three of those?

Kinda blows if pve gear really is better in pvp.

I'm well geared for my level and i find that anni bleeds are mostly wasted on anything other than elites because mobs just don't last long enough.

Sure there is, pass the ball to the goal instead of walking there.

Once you're geared the heal on the cc breaker will get you at least the 2.5k healing medal when it crits.

In pvp burst is always going to be far superior to steady pressure.

Everything is going to "seem like it's working" when there are no meters. ATM it is impossible to know what works best.

The day the nerf was announced i was on my op alt on hutta and out of 47 people there 39 were ops. A lot of crying when i announced the nerf.
