Okay so thoughts so far after trying it out: == Initital Impressions *I dont think this is Ready for Prime Time *The Droid doesnt seem to work right and your just missing abilities. (Yes I followed the recommended solutions but they dont work) *If you want opinions on new system based around choice then lock people to broken choices it kind of defeats the purpose. We need the interface and choices opened up for feedback to be worthwhile *With no interface or way to tell the specs apart from reading on the forums and looking at passives carefully its hard to tell the builds (AorB) apart. Suggestions *Add an interface to to choose the build that isnt so clunky and clearly lays out whats changed. *Fix the droid. Some specs have passives that refer to abilities like Focused Defense that the build doesnt even have. Not sure if its intentional. *Stuns and CC breakers missing. Is it intended for breakers and Awe to be removed from the class? If so thats horrible please change that. *Focused Clarity is missing from all specs even though some passives refer to it. The Good *Since this is intdended as a broad over view, I will say all the specs still seam like themselves and have a definitive playstyle to them, if watered down a bit. If the crucial missing abilites and buggy droid get fixed it seems like the goal of killing some abilities but keeping the flavor of the specs was achieved. *DCD reduction would overall be a good thing for the meta and it seems to be achieved here. Bugs *Droid see above *No level Sync on *Companions have low health *Speeder bike is slower thatn walking( I assume thats a joke) Also are utilities going away or still their in addition to these Changes?

My diagnosis is you aren't criting enough. To correct this I suggest dropping the 2% alacrity bonus in the corruption tree and dumping it all into the 3% increase to crit. Secondly try to get to around 150 crit rating. Youll lose some power but itll balance out because you should be getting more barrage procs and the 3% bonus damage procs from forked lightning should keep your bonus damage the same as the other classes that just stack power. Secondly save recklessness for a lightning barrage or a chain lightning . Don't just pop it on cooldown. Its damage potential goes to waste if not used on those 2 things. Make sure polarity shift is used on CD however. Also your server latency on the fleet will have an effect on ur dps so use your ship dummy. Not having the serendipitous relic also hurts you a bit so expect 20 or so more dps when u get that maybe more. Also parse in the dummy for hours eventually RNG will drop in ur favor and youll have a shiny high dps parse like those in the threads. Just don't expect to get those results in a boss fight.

I gotta say man I'm impressed with your ability to deal with scoundrel healing being OP and exactly why its OP and doing a good job of providing suggestions to help the dps specs as well. Nice suggestions and I agree with most of them. Especially the part about scoundrel healing requiring no skill now where before it had skill checks on several of the abilities, and now it also doesn't require energy management. I hope the dev team reads this and considers some of the thoughts brought up. Nerfing an OP healing classes isnt hard. But you definitely dont want to overdo it or else you just killed that class. Additionally buffing a stealth class is very tricky because of how easy it is to make them OP considering the nature of the class. (Pre 1.1 status) But your suggestions seem to do enough to prevent both my previous points.

I always thought there should be a penalty for popping a sorcs bubble. Like how OP mentioned the PT's have on there shield that does damage to attackers when its up. Something similar to that except you take a small amount of energy damage every time you hit the sorc with the bubble up and if you pop it you take a large energy hit something in the range of 1200-2000. 2000 would be if it crit.(Also add an internal CD on the pop so double casting static barrier back to back wont make such an ability OP) Numbers aside i think that would be a useful way to make people more wary of just outright #LOLFOCUSSORC if they were gonna have to take some damage for doing it.

buncha hackers up in here

I know right. I hate to how this guy reacts to real life situations. One WZ and he cancels the game lawl good stuff.

And there is your DEV response. So that's that. Hope it gets fixed soon, no point whining.

Depends on your accent or dialect though how you stress certain words now doesn't it? Also still a pretty dumb thing to comment on. Grammar and spelling are all well and good, but only trolls correct things like that on an internet forum.

Oh wow.

Also I too can confirm this issue.

You do realize that is proper grammar right?

Eh. My idea is to go back to playing TOR. I poked in here to check out the new forums and look what I find....( New forums with even more whining) OP I wish people would do this but they wont. See you in game OP.
