It's fairly obvious that if you want to shred people you roll Assault, one of the easiest specs to play. If you want a challenge, try Tactics. I leveled 1-50 as Tactics and still play it to this day. For me, it's one of the most enjoyable specs to play out of all my other characters. You just won't be burning through droves like Assault. Which I'm pretty sure is what you want. So go Assault.

I know this post is in reference to Pyro, but my point was that reducing the range would then require that AP/Tactics burst be put on par with Pyro/Assault.

Reducing the range of ion pulse/flame burst would really minimize the effectiveness of Tactics/AP builds, IMO. I tend to kite just outside of melee range using Hold The Line, and without the burst that Assault/Pyro offers, it would just make those specs even less desirable.

I'm sorry that you're having a difficult time. I wouldn't say that I'm a one-man army, but I can comfortably beat most people that I encounter in a 1v1 situation, with the Marauder/Sentinel and Ops/Scoundrels (who get an opener) being the hardest for me to tackle. I've even pulled some 1v2's off, which is pretty fantastic because I know I'm not that good. Generally, I find the ranged classes to be easiest because they're so busy trying to keep me out of melee range that they crumble. What kind of suggestions do you have that might improve the situation while maintaining balance? Because I'm pleased as punch with my Vengeance Juggernaut.

Someone with sense.

Be patient. There's no telling how things might get balanced out. I'm sure it must suck having your class get tossed and tweaked, but if they really are gimped then surely they'll fix it. It still sucks but I'd suggest just playing an alt for a while and see how it pans out.

Anyone around that can speak for the quality of and faction balance on either of these servers? I'm tired of my current one, it's a little dead, and I'm most likely gonna reroll. :-D

How does the rate of diminishing heat/ammo regeneration factor in? EDIT: Couple posts above me beat me to it, haha. To clarify, is there any way to determine if the dissipation/regeneration rates differ to compensate?

Also, my Master Strike continues to hit targets that run through me, as long as they stay within melee range. I don't even have to be facing them. It looks absurd.

Nope!

Heaven forbid stocks fall, or fluctuate at all, especially during trying financial times. Doesn't matter anyway, the world ends this year. Right?

From a photo-day in New York with my girlfriend and her brother. I know, I know...smoking is bad. :-P http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.156979890980852.35870.100000065274010&type=3#!/photo.php?fbid=292975810714592&set=a.156979890980852.35870.100000065274010&type=3&theater

Excellent idea, OP. Like like like.

It's definitely possible to hold four or five off of a side turret for a long time. If I know I'm going down, I hit everyone with Gut until I die, then just take the speeder directly back to the turret (you'd be amazed at how few people know that you can even do that). Just AOE em and run another round of Gut until reinforcements arrive. Do any healing classes have a purge ability that can get rid of bleeds and such?

Is it possible to skip an entire planet's quest lines (except for class quests, of course), and simply pick up on the next planet's quests? I severely out leveled the content, stupid PVP.

You probably never got the grey camel mount in WoW, huh? Talk about a pain.

Oozo, my brother, you still running Tactics? I'm a big fan of the vids. Think you could message me your build (so as not to high jack this thread any more than I already have)? :-D On topic, the build looks interesting, and I'm sure it would be beastly to have the dots from gut and incendiary running at the same time. But I'm just so skeptical of hybrids right now. I'm working my way up to full Tactics myself. Even though a lot of people are screaming that it's broken.

I think the bottom line is that without such a debuff, everyone would roll heals and no one would ever die. Healing is far too powerful as it is. People want to see kills, man. That's kinda the point of pvp.

So you think it would be balanced if you could backstab for 4k AND heal for 4k? I think not.

Me neither. I think I've been disconnected twice at no fault of my ISP. That's it. And I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. :-D

No one has ever posted anything quite like this before. Congratulations.

I suppose some smack-talk is expected, being the nature of competition. Despite that, I'll say that I appreciate that you don't take yourself too seriously, and it looks like you're definitely having fun! Lovely vid, brother. Keep it up.
