I agree with this, being a level 35 sentinel, it really takes getting a few of your staple moves to really keep up with ranged, but after that you are amazing.

It feeds on your tears.

Do world pvp or wait until rated wzs come out. Puggers vs Premades is normally a one way curb stomping. Although I dont mind fighting against premades (makes things interesting) most of the community will cry and rip their eyes out if they do. So I doubt it will happen.

People enter the game late or load slow, the only way to fix would be to get rid of the first "respawn lockout".

Just new game hitches, they will be smoothed out, just hang in there.

I play a sentinel, you are doing it wrong, learn your class before you rail on game mechanics. I am loving sentinel in every aspect.

Hard to say atm, coming from experience, sentinel/marauders have the most non-gcd abilities and are made of paper if cool downs are not up, not to mention they are melee.(although the sentinel/marauder class is amazing) I play a sentinel so it is probably just my own bias towards them, but the ranged classes I have played seem to have a lot more peels than that of typical MMOs.

Agreed, healers need help rather than carrying the team as a support.

You seriously let them take the point so you could jump on his corpse... Also I like people who guard, it allows the rest to have some fun....

It was released with a decent amount of pvp content actually, that just goes to show they are looking out for us. They already have 3 sets of end game pvp gear, not too shabby for a launch... As for the WZs and Wpvp, they have stated it is a big focus of theirs to keep world pvp alive and meaningful, all we can do is hope.

It has been brought up, things like this are small and easy to fix. Until they are fixed, we will not see the true potential of stealth classes.

Because it is only useable on weak and strong targets, I was disappointing when I saw this as well. Oh well, one less keybind!

If he is casting on you face, you are doing something terribly wrong.

It does the damage when you hit the ability, but does not show up until proper animation timing. You can use an ability and the moment your character "fires" that ability, you can literally be launched 100 feet away and you will still see the damage "ticking" off. The damage may be delayed, but you do not have to stay in range for it to land(unless its master strike).

Keep it in, people need to learn to use the mechanics given to them.... (Aoe anyone?) The faster you are at AoE, the better.

Actually, your stats are bolstered based on level, not your stats. So if you have good gear at level 10, it would be like if you had good gear at level 50. If you have terrible gear for a level 10, you will have terrible stats in WZs. Does this make sense now? So basically at 50, your gear will matter, the same as it does at every level.

I am a melee, if you are not doing well as one, look at yourself rather than your class. The biggest problem with this industry, is people think they are at the top of the pinnacle when they are not. There is always room for improvement, if you fail, try harder next time. That being said, all classes have weaknesses/advantages, sages/inq are very susceptible to interrupt effects(I can keep from from casting their primary spell while on them) Gunslingers/snipers are very weak against stealth classes and classes that have instant CC, commandos/mercs are weak against high mobility melee and cover-based ranged fighters. These are the main classes I see complained about, but they all have weak points that are very easily exploited. But, all these classes, if not LoS'd/handled properly will completely dominate with damage. It is easier notice a melee humping your leg, than it is to notice a caster wrecking you from downtown.(this is the main reason casters seem to do so well) Also most ranged classes get their "main" CC and damaging spells pretty early, where as melee take a bit longer to mature. Also, melee are typically more gear dependent than casters, since most of our dmg comes from percentages based on weapon damage. TL;DR - Melee is fine, wait till end game to judge.

Smart camera by default with no option to turn off..... Makes me cry inside everytime it auto-centers.

With macros, people are on different levels based on the time and effort they put into researching "smart" ways to override having to actually hit buttons, without macros it is all skill. Anyone whining about macros needs to try harder and stop being lazy. Bioware did not put them in for a reason.

Haven't they stated that they are going to be making Ranked Wzs? The game has been out for 4 days man, alot of the player base is ONLY interested in leveling, world pvp will come when max level hits and people are bored/ready to fight Give it a little time before you bash, the instancing was put there so people could learn before getting curbed over and over, even still if you want to gank you can; but there has never really been any "reward" for this, even in the top MMOs, you don't really gain much if anything at all. As for full premades in the pug pool, faction hit the nail on the head, you can do 4 people; if that is not enough to turn the game in your favor, you are doing something wrong. Also, faction, good sentinel pvp video.

Actually, I do, this is coming from someone who plays a melee class (sentinel), you have plenty of mechanics to kite melee and the maps offer plenty of cover for LoS. You really just need team mates to help you, without them you will die, the same as I will die without heals or guard. Edit: You also bring alot more to the table being a healer(most classes have hardly any self sustain) if your team is incompetent, it is the same as if you were a dps and your team is incompetent, you lose. Since the dps in this game is not very bursty, it is alot harder to carry the game as a dps, it is much more based around teamwork.

Find a tank, tell him to guard you and the only fix you will need is with the UI.(peels if you have no tank friends) Seriously healers are now like everyone else and need assistance from other players, you are a support, try to act like one. If healers are totally self sustainable they become unbalanced in small gang pvp.(Resto druids in season 2) No class in the game can be an unstoppable killing/healing machine, every class needs a counterpart to really shine (yes even sorcs/sages need help), this is a team based game and a damn good one at that.

That is actually a quote I tell all of the people I play with, also, if you are a healer and you die with spare resources, you played it wrong.

Find a tank and have him guard you, it is what they balanced pvp around. If you are not doing it, you are not taking advantage of game mechanics. If they buffed healing, you would have to get rid of guard, which would destroy tanks purpose in pvp.

I am pretty sure its a bug, try deselecting as said previously, it helps.
