I'm not going to complain and moan, I've just come here from the cancel subscription page. Tired of paying for something where I'm only getting 60-85% of a game per week. If you don't like it, leave. If you don't want to leave, don't complain.

Shield Spec 1. Solid tank in PvE, worst tank in PvP due to lack of dps vs assassin and lack of survivability/movement vs guardian. 2. PvE is fine, PvP is workable but only if you don't have the other tanks. Due to the Vanguard's extra reliance on Shield for DR and the fact it works on very few abilities due to crit and force/tech attacks the Vanguard suffers more thant the other tanks. Assault Spec 1. Stupidly overpowered in PvP, burst is way too high especially when coupled with gear not designed for the advanced class (Eliminator) 2. Stupidly overpowered in PvP. Defense is just as good if not better than most other DPS and damage is WAY higher. It feels like I'm cheating when playing this spec, I was topping charts in Combat Tech gear with a Shield offhand.

I keep seeing people saying all you need to do is move to interrupt it, but I've yet to see that actually work. I'll be at least 15 metres away and still get hit with the big hit at the end. I'd certainly have less issue with it if getting range worked to avoid it.

I've lost one of my existing names that I've had since the start of the Aussie server. I transferred one character over and was prompted with two renames, one for the transfer and one for the existing character. Why has a transfer been able to take an existing name? I was under the impression that wouldn't be possible.

New sounds are awful. Everywhere I turn there's sparking electricity, they need to get maintenance in to fix it. Guarding turrets in Alderaan I have to stand off the platform so my ears don't start bleeding. Augmenting blasters in space combat sounds like I'm hitting a ventilation shaft with a whisk, it's getting to the stage where I'm going to make it more difficult for myself by not using it any more just so I can play it without wanting to throw my headset across the room. What was the reason behind changing them anyway? Were there any complaints? You improve things by shutting up the ship droid and other companions, then on the other hand you introduce different noises to get on the nerves of the playerbase. If you're going to make things annoying, at least set them as ambience so we can turn that down without affecting important in game sounds. Can't you just leave us in peace?

I get that they were trying to reward people for effort and punish afkers, but it's just not working. There's even less incentive now to play for a win because you run the risk of getting nothing. Sitting at a node that's not getting attacked, floating between nodes to be ready to reinforce, getting in position to defend or receive a pass in Huttball; all likely ways of getting nothing or very little at the end of a warzone. It's a classic example of punishing the majority because a minority is doing something wrong. The vote-kick system would be a better place to start, why not run with that for a while and go back to reasonable rewards for a loss?

I've actually won a warzone I thought we should have lost. Both teams got to the datacore, but the opponents got there in the second round with 8 seconds left on the clock. It seems this was treated as a tie though as we finished 6 all and we won the random roll for a win. Didn't seem fair to me.

Facts are supported by evidence. Until you can provide some, it's purely a hypothesis. Also, the other side does not need to provide evidence as it's the currently accepted fact due to an absence of proof to the contrary. There are plenty of people who haven't seen what you're seeing but would be more than willing to agree with you if you or someone else was able to provide concrete examples. You may be in the right, but until you can prove that you are no one can take you seriously.

I ran almost exactly your build until needing to respec to a more healing oriented build for the guild. As you've said, it's a fantastic support build. You're essentially 90% of a full healer or full dps and can switch at will depending on what's needed. The only changes I'd make would be to get rid of the points in DS as they're next to useless in PvP and put them in Inlays and Precision Instruments instead. I wouldn't bother with Accomplished Doctor, it's only going to be buffing your KInj. I don't know how much you're using it in PvP, but I found it wasn't a major staple like it would be in PvE. I ended up dropping the points from Tactical Opportunity and putting them in Lethality for a 4% Crit chance increase. I found it was better than a 50% chance to get a TA refunded every 10 seconds, especially considering you have to keep Dart up on the target as well. The other option I'd considered was Pin Down, as the root really helps on runners, especially in Huttball over a fire grate as roots aren't affected by resolve.

My Op is level 50 and my Sin is currently 46. The Operative is definitely closer to the WoW rogue, and is also much better as a DPS from stealth playstyle. They essentially have no utility, so get better damage from stealth. The Assassin has lower burst, but gets a ton more utility like knockback and speed. After playing them both with a few different specs, I'd choose the Operative for DPS and the Assassin for survivability and utility.

Not saying I disagree with the conclusion, but these numbers are pointless. 1 x KP is a single cooldown, whereas KI + SP is a 2 second cast plus another cooldown. I'd be more interested in a full 15 second rotation of KP x 2 + 3 x (KI + SP) vs 4 x (KI +SP), as those are the two rotations to compare, not single casts.

Concealment. 2 more levels and you'll get Lacerate, then it's all easymode from there. Rolling KPs will give you more TAs for Lacerate and heal you at the same time, plus talents in Conceal also boost your healing.

No. From my experience, people vote for whoever already has the highest number of medals, because by default sort that's who appears at the top of the list. I can come in number one in healing and get 4-5 medals, no votes. Jump on my Assassin, throw guard and taunt on random people getting attacked then just DPS, finish with 8-10 easy medals and the most MVP votes. People are stupid.

You can confirm this works for you? It certainly doesn't work for me. I've run multiple tests both with and without Sprint turned on, both in and out of combat and it takes exactly the same time to cover a set distance with Evasion activated as it does without activating it. Evasive Imperative does not work in any way for me.

I am terribly, terribly disappointed that you didn't say they should P2L...
