I thought it did have a jetpack, as seen in the pictures? Same as Battlemaster piece did...

It must be a terrifying sight to see us charging across the battlefield... I often find myself force choked, which once it wears off (and I've been suitably humiliated) opens up my best chance to set up a cheeky little fart by swinging my weapon (which shoots lightning out of it) at a heavily armoured Sith bloke/bloke-ette. Or, alternatively, I can shoot lightning at short range, which judging by the sound has the power of a 9 volt battery. It makes your tongue tingle if you lick it. If that hasn't scared off the baddies then I can squeeze out a naughty guff. Much like flatulence, the victim of such an attack may not be aware of the real damage until moments after the incident itself.

Good rant. I agree with most of the OP, aside from maybe Mortar Volley which I think is pretty nice and trooperish. Having previously played BH for some time I was shocked when I started my trooper that there hadn't been more complaints about High Impact Fart. It sounds like a shrew has just let one go every time I fire my best ability. Just my 2 cents.

I remember when people could get in doors and cap them, but that was a long time ago and has seemingly been fixed. This just really bugged me today as it undermined the whole point of the PvP game. The 15 other people in the warzone were effectively bypassed by one person. Thanks for the replies anyway. I've decided to cancel my sub after giving it some thought. I'll come back for the free-to-play version as I can't really justify giving over money when the most basic stuff doesn't work.

Hello, Recently returned to the game and I've been enjoying PvP, but today I experienced somebody cap a door I was defending in Voidstar while they were in stealth. Is this supposed to be possible? Is there a way to counter it without basically placing AOE on the ground near the door constantly? Cheers.

I have 2 BH's at 50, one is a PT pyro and the other is a Merc Arsenal. I started with the Merc because I wanted to PvE most of the time and thought a ranged AC would be 'easier' in some regards. However, I really got into PvP and following a nerf to the AC (which wasn't needed) I started the whole game again as a Powertech. I abandoned a War Hero to do this so it wasn't an easy decision, but frankly the PT Pyro was worth it. With 1.4 on the way the PT Pyro will now be nerfed, but so will the Merc. I'm not really sure what to do. I want to play BH but Bioware are messing with things everytime they release new content. Arguably I should be choosing an AC for more important reasons, like the playstyle or the feel of it... I've played MMO's for a long time and I am well aware that this 'feeling' doesn't matter much when your beloved Merc is repeatedly beaten by opponents who have the odds stacked in their favour. I will probably stick with PT Pyro and un-sub if the changes are really as badly planned as I, and most of the community, expect them to be. So, my advice is: toss a coin.

I think it's great that you've tried to apply a constructive solution to these problems. Decided to re-roll as Powertech but have found it all too boring to do again, after reaching valor level 60 on the Merc. I hope they do fix Merc's, but I'm not hanging around any longer to find out. If they acknowledged the problems and indicated that they were working on a solution then I'd stick around, but I'm not paying a monthly subscription for the vague hope that there is a monkey behind a typewriter at Bioware HQ writing out his/her plans to save the class. Heaps of time and money wasted!

That just about covers it. I love reading arena advocates writing about how insecure they are.

I tend to ignore MVP's since they are one of the most horribly implemented aspects of the game.
