zerp... buoooop... tweet.

Elves and dwarves and magic and nonsense... please god no more fantasy mmo's... no more... Wish there was a faster paced more action oriented Eve type game with both ground and space combat but with more twitch and less endless grinding and skilling. I find the mechanics, and animations in SWTOR far superior to many other MMO games. The balance has become attrocious however and the same Wz over and over and over.... /meep... heh... droool... I guess planetside 2 can't get here fast enough...

Simple solution. If someone enters your Wz in Rakata and then starts with the "I wear what I want" b.s. Just drop the Wz and continue to do so whenever said player gets rolled in to a Wz with you. No need to be rude. The way I see it if they don't care about your attempt at playing the game as intended then there's no need for you to provide content as a teammate for them either. Always make sure you try to educate first and be kind... then if it's an obstinant know it all butt whistler... just drop the Wz and eliminate your frustration! Folks that refuse to get the FREE gear and at least half speed it... deserve to play on constantly short teams. If it's really a newwwwwwwwb... explain the situation... and help them find the gear after the match.

Well honestly, I just want Vigilance TTK returned to 1.2. Give us an ability that simulates the power relics, that'd be fine, only our class/spec needs it and of course the Juggies... Vigilance needed that ability to turn important fights 1v1 without it, we have lost "credible threat" and therefore can't peel off healers or produce enough dps to justify ourselves in rated. If that's impossible we will need an over all DPS adjustment, we don't need to be THE BEST DPS EVER... just competitive dps not a strugle for mid board damage numbers that can endanger our focus on objectives. If we get nothing... well, I guess I'll check out the Focus spec before ... well givin up I guess. /shrug p.s. I don't worry about other classes, I worry about Guardians, and other classes have all for the most part had their moment in the sun... the closest we came was in beta... and that's not cuttin the beezwax.

Did he have 1 or 2 sabers?

As a Guardian... I've long held the belief that Sents and Mara's are fine. However after the TTK changes Vigilance needs the buffzors... p.s. No nerfs needed... killing mara's / sents is what guardians do... not that we stricktly 1v1 you... we ride you from afar with taunt and guard till your all tired and wondering why that squishy just became a tank... then we hit you and when you pop your little I wins we stun/push/choke and dispatch. I like it... reminds me of wrestling gators... dangerous animals but easily handled by experts.

I like getting dropped into a bad situation and turning it around... I hope they don't nerf that... Rarely works... but when it does... zomg... epic The best part about getting dropped into a total blow out and winning it for your team... NEVER EVER WILL YOU GET ANY MVP's lol... everyones too busy to notice you enter and the game turn. LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!

Taking unremmitting out of vigilance will spell the end of many subs that are pvp focused. Cry for what you want... just don't ask for nerfs to other tree's. kthx!

Well I think we can all agree ... Vigilance is in dire need of a buff for pvp to balance us for rated. We also do not need another FAIL defence buff *cough F-ed us Defence... we need MOAR DEEEPEEESSSS 1.2 was great... 1.3 is just wrong. Also I am not stating that Vigilance is garbage... please note... I am just saying that the TTK changes have ravaged an otherwise GREAT class/spec and I'd like it put back to being "balanced" so I can play rated "seriously". I love how classes that put out 500k to 600k while sleeping at the keyboard get a 280k class nerfed to 160k and they are still outputting the same numbers... balance she is an oily naked freaked out gnome, being chased by garganchuian toga wearing devs with no thumbs and a penchant for drinking ethanol. /faceplam..

Well... regardless of my personal opinion... Vigilance is burned into my brain and fingers, and I'd loose to much RL skill trying to respec... let alone the re-modding of my gear which... heh... yea ... just no. I'll prolly stay Vig and just enjoy Pugging... Solo Pugging is still a blast... As it is I guess RL has made rated's a pipe dream anyway...

is this "the" truth? Did ObiWan really say use the "focus" luke? lots of re-itemization to get that to work... will it really work then, cause if not that's alot of Wz comms ... and a McFreakin Ton of credits to pull mods etc... not to mention I play vigilance like it's an extension of me... gonna be wonky at focus... anywhoo thanks for the advice! It's an option I guess and better than ROLL A SENTINAL...

I'd love this. I have always had a great deal of respect for many of the folks I fight. Dozer, Islander... you guys make my MVP list!!!! Also everyone from Asphyxia(sp)... what a scary bunch o Pvp'ers and that guild name always gives me the creeps... I look forward to playing against great Imps as much as I do to playing with great Pubs... You learn far more from losing than winning.

If I had a dime for every crappy "Tip" anyone ever gave me about any one of my fields of expertise I'd be rich. If I followed half of those tips, I'd most likely be dead. Unless you are known or know someone it's best to keep tips to yourself... and that my friend... is a GREAT TIP!!!! lol

I hate the new walls in Alderan. Just unfun... so many decisions are being made based on... what I have no idea but it seems most make things less fun... /facepalm The developers felt that Alderan was "too dynamic" umnnn... yea... it was... dynamic... now.. not so much. I know what I look for is the most boring Pvp I can find... you bet!!! woot... umnnnn huh... Voidstar... Im not sure... but, the deliberate gate there is also "less fun" but, possibly better balanced... Also lost the little hidey hole behind the cargo crate you first jump out onto... that was a great way to transition unseen from side to side.. overall... dumbed down play is dumbed down...

I have Ctr+E bound to target friendly... as there never seems to be many friendlies around lol... works out... Ctrl + E = target friendly Ctrl + Middle mouse = guardian leap Tab = target enemy Middle mouse = leap also by default Alt+C is target middle screen... so you can aim and target targeting is a MASSIVE skill... still working on it, personally... but the Ctrl+E target friendly seems to work... REALLY well.

Wow Helig I've read and respected many of your posts... the fact you kind of agree... is even more troubling... I think I felt Luke turning over in his grave... o dear... Having team support does make the world of difference... however, it's hard not feeling guilty about recieving that support when you realize your hurting your teammates by existing/pulling support from a more viable class... I love playing my VIg/Guard... I've always insisted the mechanics of it fits me like a glove. I love the situational awareness, mobility and required apm of it... but... entering a Wz with a Vanguard and having them put up the same protection numbers and 200k + more damage... it's a bit beyond disheartening... why is that fair and even if I ignore it... how am I supposed to look my friends squarly in the eye and tell them Im better for their team than that Vanguard... also from what I've seen of PVE... Vanguards do that better too... and we haven't even talked about range vs melee. I guess there isn't really a game for Starwars Fans that wanna be a Jedi Knight... /facepalm... I don't mind being UP but... this is getting ridiculous...

I find this a very disturbing question. I keep asking myself this and the answer keeps coming back that if your seriously running a team you'd be better off with a Shadow Tank or a Vanguard. better damage, better defense, same utility sure there may be the super gifted Guardian or 2 out there but, given the law of averages we aren't them... the sterotypes have fallen and we are clearly a third rate choice... and if you look around you ... we are an endangered species... Why? (Pvp wise) IMHO the drop in general TTK has hurt us more significantly than almost any other class while we certainly were not in need of a nerf and in 1.2 had average if not slightly below average dps comparitively. As it is our survivability has always been fairly borked (SHIELDS??? lol, 16k hp in full BM Vindicator + augments ROTFL...) and our damage has always been lackluster. Pre 1.2 we could if we were VERY VERY GOOD make this work with relics and the general lower achievement bar necessary to kill dps wise.... In 1.3 we can't really solo kill most classes and we add less than most other melee to Wz damage. As for our bread and butter taunts, and guard... take a Shadow Tank or a Vanguard and you eliminate our survivability and dps issues and get our damage mitigation... win, win... for them... lose lose for us... Im sorry to have to write this but, as a long time proponent of our class being balanced, I must publicly state we have been righteously borked at exactly the right time (preseason-Wz) to hand our class a horrible and almost unalterable stimgma... Given the fact EA/Biowear is firing everyone on their staff, can we really hope for this to be addressed? I have lost hope Obi-wan... looking to our community to possibly bolster my hope or add their own fears... sadly... I feel it necessary to roll a Sentinal or more likely re-unsub... May the Force be with you... I feel dirty having to write this... but, better getting it off my chest...

If your a healer... just throw a couple of heals around before the match... this way we can find you... thanks! healers win WZ and I like winning...

sometimes I do this... most times thou I will fight as hard as I can till the match is over... any fighting is a great chance to learn and improve... I don't enter Wz to socialize around objectives. I used to get upset about it... now I just shake my head and keep on truckin... I find I can usually get at least 1 healer tagging along cause even 1 on 5 with a healer I can sometimes eek a kill out and that's medals for whoever is with me.

Did you just complain about Vigilance/Vengance DPS... /facepalm... [no respectfull comment therefore...]

Yea healers are actually our specialty I think... it's not about dps ... it's about interupts and position control. In general thou... we went from being mildy average in 1.2 to much worse in 1.3... at this point I do think we need some love... /shrug

Im in mostly BM (WH: saber, ear, implant, relics) best I manage is like 300k (I get real excited about it too) but ... I unfortunately... only can PUG... don't have a rated team... nor do I think I have the time to commit to get into one... if they even take Vigilance Guardians... which... Im not sure they do.

500k in a match.. Im so doing something wrong... /facepalm

If there's more than 1 healer on my team... I rarely die... matter of fact... I've been in games with two very talented healers and NO ONE ON OUR TEAM DIED... ridiculous...

I agree with this post... HOWEVER, you can turn the tables on a maurauder by simply running away during their defensive cool down and then coming back to them later... Return to kill the rauder when you either have stasis up to hold him through the cooldown or when his cooldown goes down. You can kill a ton of rauders this way... If you try to face tank them... you will get smoked if they have their cooldowns.
