Would it reduce the number of tanks in PvP? I don't think tank/healer combos are necessarily OP given their two roles, but just wondering if this idea has been fleshed out before (or maybe already done in beta)?

Bump!

Any warrior/knight class

Spec: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#600ZdcMRbMrZcMfRsMkz.2 Stats (self buffed): 986 Damage, 29.22% Crit, 78% Surge, 5% Alacrity, 1945 WP Rotation: I usually Weaken Mind everyone, then pick a target and TK Throw -> PoM proc -> Force Potency -> Force in Balance -> Mind Crush -> TK Throw. I rarely will ever cast Project or Disturbance unless I'm trying to score a kill or put out pressure on a specific person. I NEVER hard-cast Disturbance. If I get a PoM proc and Mind Crush is on cooldown, I just keep spamming TK Throw until Mind Crush comes off CD unless I'm going for a kill then I might decide to insta-cast Disturbance. Honestly though, success will come from everything you do OTHER than these things so practice makes perfect

I play at odd hours and I'm hoping to transfer to a server that has a guild that does content around the times I'm able to play - we only seem to have server-specific forums, but it'd be nice to support a general guild recruitment forums so people can figure out what server they'd like to transfer to.

Nice video. Very good examples of three key things for healing sages: keeping yourself up, keeping your teammates up, and playing objectives. Bumping this so other sages can watch and learn some playing techniques.

Hey guys, Started streaming today with commentary and will probably do it every day of the week in the morning. Hoping to share and spread general PvP ideas and strategies for DPS sages. Feel free to tune in to offer some tips. Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/detrimentalswtor Note: I had some audio issues today but I think I figured them out so I should be clearer and easier to hear next week

We can burst OK but our strength is CC and pressure. Don't get the wrong idea, DPS sages/sorcs can regularly output more damage than other classes on WZs This is a regular game for me on the Bastion: http://imgur.com/6CVAHHY.jpg

Glock, What are your stats and mod/enhancement choices? Even as 7/3/31, I'm not regularly critting for more than 4k - it's more of a rare occurrence which I attributed to under-geared opponents. I'm going for max power, which sounds like the opposite of what you're doing

I play bubble stun DPS and I'm proud. I enjoy avoiding a plethora of 5k+ crits in a matter of seconds from multiple knights/warriors. It's not just Smash; it's that combined with Scream, Choke, and Execute while getting trained by multiple warriors

yes please!

Like the hearthstone in WoW - be able to set a place as a destination (limit 1 at a time) and some kind of technical device that transports you there

Thanks

Anyone know which one should be used for min/max? I don't imagine it matters between heailng and dps. http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/gear/35193/war-heros-aptitude-mod-27a http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/gear/35076/war-heros-aptitude-mod-27 I assumed 27A since WP (I'm assuming) scales better than power at higher levels, but I've heard from other high level sages that they are sporting the 27s. Any thoughts?

I'd recommend bubble stun because it provides a way to make playing against smashes a little more realistic. If you are solo queuing, it provides much more survivability than full heals if you don't have a guard or peeler. But like everyone else said, use field respec to your advantage and change as needed.

I love this feature. NOT SIGNED!

I actually agree with this. I don't think BW is properly prioritizing the work that needs to be done for this game, for me at least; however, I'm not aware of the market spread of users - it might be true that the majority of users do not participate in PvP that often so that department has less staff. Even if that's true, it shouldn't require much work to have a discussion about the state of PvP and what changes should be made, and then (here is the key part), communicate that change to the PvP community so we can decide if we want to stick around. About this issue specifically, I do think that Smash/Force Sweep needs some tuning in that, as the OP said, hard switches and coordinated burst with these abilities are very difficult to counter and that makes classes with those abilities essential to winning RWZ groups and excluding any other melee class. It reminds me of WoW:BC when any class that couldn't CC/tank/heal never got invited to 5mans.

I play exclusively in the in the AM EST, but I play republic - hope to see you on regardless

The thing I commonly see while playing in the early morning time period is people don't really care about winning much - there is a small percentage of people who will attempt to coordinate a winning strategy through ops chat, but the majority of people do not really care about winning and are mainly interested in the killing the other side. The effect is that people start yelling in ops chat about people sucking and not knowing how to play properly - just because people are playing in a warzone, it doesn't mean they are playing to win (only applies to PuGs)

I only play during the morning and daytime and from my experience, it's pretty even - there are days where we (Republic) win more often than not and there are other days where we get repeatedly thrashed. From a Republic perspective, we don't usually chat about our strategy before a match so each one starts a little blind as to what will happen, but usually if you have a couple guys from the same guild, your chances are better since they'll have some sort of strategy. I used to play on Infinite Empire and right around when pre-season 1 started, the Empire dominated every WZ and we were lucky to get a win a day, but it's much more even here from my experience.
