The trooper's damage is compressed into a smaller time frame though, is it not? Plus you can start moving before the animation finishes (as soon as the third shot leaves your barrel) without losing any damage.

How this hasn't been fixed yet is beyond me.

This lol. That being said, I just don't understand why gear can't only give, say, a 10% advantage in PvP instead of it being more like 90%.

There's nothing wrong with gear giving an advantage in PvP. The question is why the advantage has to be so large.

The gap from champ to BM isn't that bad. It's like the gap from rr90 to rr100 gear in WAR (probably even less than that)

You were probably being farmed by a team that was up 5-0.

I just think it's terribad class design. They need to completely redo the gunnery/arsenal trees

I agree. As one of the people who got to 50 early, the people that come on here and claim that they "grinded it out so you should have to too" are either: 1) Literally retarded if they think the ease of gearing is even comparable 2) Are scared to actually have any compeitition 3) Trolling Why? Remember when you could do your Ilum WEEKLY in literally 30 minutes? Yeah. Remember when 50's could farm sub-50's in sc's? Yeah. Get real people. There's no reason to not let people start saving up for bags beforehand. Like I said, RNG is still RNG. Plus, it rewards people for PvP'ing to lvl up.

TL;DR Herp derp. I'm going to lump all the abilities of a classes AC's into a list. IT'S OP I TELL YOU

Well then, I guess SC2 being the top e-sport in the world shows how much you know of competitive gaming. Subjective opinion is subjective.

Why the resistance to letting people accumulate bags before lvl 50? RNG is still RNG, and more people not woefully undergeared = better matches in the 50 bracket. Plus, you would be rewarding people for *gasp* PvP'ing. And it would take A LOT of sub 50 PvP'ing to have a lot of bags.

The beta build I played, while laggier, had a TON more options in terms of customization of gear and looks. So much was removed. Makes me sad.

I look back fondly at my bear form, massive bone spear proc necro Or my es enchant bear sorc Were there cookie cutter builds (hello hammerdin, trapsin, etc)? Ofc. But the variety allowed by D2 was awesome. Now how viable they were in PvP was another question, though the bear sorc did surprisingly well.

Depends what RR you are (and if you have a premade)

This was always the issue. Somehow BW COMPLETELY missed the fact that it wasn't that they could stun you and kill you, it was just that they could string together insane crits. Like crit - crit - crit - crit - crit- crit, moreso than any other class.

Would both sides be happy with an option for a one time swap of AC's?

Sentinels are definitely the best 1v1 class in the game, if only because of their awesome (and long cd) defensive abilities. They also have something no other class has - a healing debuff. Its usefulness only really shines in premades, however.

You could only PvP and leave every sc before it ends.

Rezzing in WAR was actually ridiculously easy. And in WAR the devs actually banned people for this if they caught them (albeit it required an actual Mythic rep witnessing it). Plus, WAR weeded out the WoW kiddies really, really quickly.

Fulken? Just guessing by your signature. If you are I'm surprised you held back so much in your post

Just curious, how would you fix this?

This game will never feel as "fluid" as you guys WoW are expecting it to. The simple nature of no animation clipping guarantees this. Plus, I highly doubt that they'll fix stuff like (for example) an "instant" kb ability not actually knocking anyone back until after the animation is done (which could take anywhere up to 1.5 secs....the length of the GCD). Don't get me wrong. There definitely are ability delay issues currently. I'm just saying if you're expecting this game to be like WoW you are going to be disappointed.

Just give repub's a better chance with the RNG. Problem solved.

Because they do that much better in premades. Premades and pugging preformance are worlds apart.

How else would you interpret Heal. Debuff?
