Well power and crit are separate from acc, surge, alacrity. So once you're acc and surge capped, stack alacrity.

I can't copy my chars to PTS. Plus, that wouldn't prove anything. PTS has all the new changes implemented. We're talking about the two classes currently.

The two abilities that make our next ability free and instant should be combined into one ability with like a 45s cd. Also make us immune to interrupts after using it for like 6 sec or something.

The net is an entirely unique utility that will pretty much allow your team to FF someone down. The target won't be able to escape. If the cd on net was short enough, commandos would definitely be brought to rwzs. Well healers at least, I don't know about dps ones.

Goddamnit!

PTs are glass cannons though. I don't know how much more surv they got in 2.0, but they certainly don't have as many ways to live as sins do. But yeah, I dunno why BW changed surging charge and it's discharge around. Like was it seriously a problem? Cause I've never heard anyone complain about dps sins.

We don't play on the same server dude.

Alacrity will lower GCD too on instants. I agree full balance still looks meh, but tele sages look to be awesome. I'm dying to try it out.

Rofl my commando has min/max WH gear for all 3 trees. I've been geared for a long time now. I was also one of the few commando healers doing rwz before 1.4, and the team I was on was the best Rep team. I don't need you to tell me how to play my class. Yes everyone knows commandos can put out beastly dps when ignore, but good players will never ignore you, and you'll die easily.

I crit for 1k on force exhuastion ticks, which ticks 5 times, and 2600 on it's final damage. That's a lot of damage. My stasis crits for 1.5k, ticks 4 times. Lots of damage there too. Blade storm crits for like 4300 too. Sweep may be all people complain about, because all they see when they die is that big *** number. But it's far from our only source of damage. Thus, the nerf to that surge talent is reducing focus's dps. Focus may still be dangerous, but it sure as hell isn't going to be what is it now. Thus it's a nerf. And apparently, the talent sweep thing that buffs dam is only 6s.

I play all three specs depending on what I feel like doing. I prefer gunnery over assault though, less resource problems and more dps. Seriously though, gunnery is just as viable as assault in pvp. Neither is capable of doing jack all when you get focus fired, but with good positioning and being ignore for the most part, gunnery far exceeds assault's dps.

You suggest shadow is not ez mode. Xerain says it is ez mode because your rotations are about as complex as focus, and I agree with him. Then you reply that he must be joking because guardians/vanguards have less buttons to push than a shadow, though sent has more. You see how you're correlating buttons with ez mode?

So you've seen him legit beat the best sniper in a duel?

It's not because the sin's 31 point talents sucks, it's because force in balance is too good. That's why nobody really goes full 31 in sin trees. The 31 talent points of most classes aren't all that amazing.

More buttons =/= harder. My commando has the least buttons I have to press out of the 4 50s play, but it's definitely the hardest to do well on. I can't make any mistakes or it's GG.

I rolled on a pvp server because I want to kill people whenever I feel like it, and I enjoy the feeling of having the possibility of being ganked. I however, choose not to gank people. I'll attack someone if the fight is fair (I never attack anyone lower level then me), and I don't attack them when they're fighting other stuff, and I'll let them heal up too. A man must have a code.

So you admit to contradicting yourself? Saying you know how to counter EVERY class, and then saying a certain class counters you is just plain terribad lapse in logic on your part. Why should anyone believe what you say about anything if you can't even form complete thoughts? I can make baseless claims too: "Guys I dueled the best mara on my server on my commando and beat him every time. He even tried every spec, but I still beat him."

ROFL, thanks for confirming you don't play rwzs. Also, LoS is your friend. Just like a sniper, abuse of LoS owns commandos.

They guy I was quoting is. Also, due to bolster bug any information regarding class balance is pretty much unreliable on the PTS. You can't get any good fights outside of duels, and duels don't explain class balance at all.

I've got a question about net for anyone on the PTS. Is it off the GCD? I'm hoping yes, because that would make it much better.

That's an exaggeration.

Nah I dislike ganking people, and open world pvp in general because it's all just ganking. I think all ROLES for a given class should be viable for rateds. I know that is hard to achieve--if not impossible--but it would still be nice to have options. I don't feel like EVERY tree should be viable for rateds, but at least for classes that have dual roles (tank/dps, heal/dps), I think both roles should be viable.

I disagree with your disagreement. I'm definitely that guy everyone complains about that is talking **** to bads on the team. If you do something stupid, I will yell at you. However, I'm always in top in dps, healing, objective points, and prot (depending on which class I'm playing of course). I would say it's 50/50 on whether the guy talking **** is actually good or a baddie.

Has nothing to do with which server is superior, and has everything to do with well thought out logical explanations and examples. But I guess reading a paragraph is beyond you apparently. When my sin hits max, I don't want to be relegated to node guard only. Otherwise I might as well rename him to Node-guard.

Why would that be odd? Barrier isn't an escape. The sage can't move. That's like saying net should prevent chars from using saber ward, GBTF, deflection, or anything similar. I don't think it should prevent shroud either, though shroud shouldn't remove the "prevent escape" portion of it either.
