If you're seen across the field you're hosed anyway. That's any class. Part of being a scrapper is understanding when to open and when to wait. That unbubbled sorc with no resolve looks juicy until you look further and see his PT buddy un-engaged. When I open on a PT, I'm always looking for quick outs to avoid his damage without blowing my wad on a DPS race that I will most certainly lose anyway. That's why you open near a LoS obstacle -> tendon blast -> LoS -> cleanse snare -> go back in to damage -> get away -> cleanse snare. Scrappers should never catch themselves in a burst contest with a PT if he/she can help it.

No. Maybe for scrappers that don't have Tendon Blast on their toolbars, or don't know how to use LoS. You overestimate your own prowess if you think I need to sell out to kill you. Worst case I'll vanish and choose another target before I waste resources on you.

This ^ Also, always apply your shield in stealth before opening on him.

Fire damage is fine. It's a bloody hazard that's meant to be avoided! I agree that the fire traps need to be adjusted, but only so that the damage goes past all defensive cooldowns. Being in the fire should mean insta-death for anyone caught it in.

That's all fine and well and good, but I shouldn't need accuracy down to the pixel to click on a player taking damage. The 'click box' for players is outrageously too unforgiving.

If the objective is killing the other guy, only PT's need apply then?

But that is the sentiment. I may be misunderstanding, but from what I gather; dps players want to be able to kill healers at their discretion.

You are literally upset because a tank and a healer couldn't dps through a healer's self heals? This speaks volumes to me. edit: Personally, I have a hard time keeping the damage to health ratio at 1 when a PT is hellbent on my death. They aren't impossible to kite / LoS, but unlike Maras, they aren't obvious when they start attacking you.

You have typed words, but said nothing.

You quoted him, but didn't answer his question.

I'm just trying to follow your logic and apparently have failed. You feel you're balanced because you can be focused and killed, even understanding that every other class can also be focused and killed. But, since some classes can vanish (when not stunned, mind you. who would fill a vanishing classes resolve before trying to burst him?) it's okay for you to bbq everyone around you.

Ok bro, you're baws. It isn't in anyway shape or form that your class does significantly more damage than it should. Everyone is rolling PT's because they look so cool with a single blaster, right?

I surrender.... /surrender LOLNO... /ball shot!

You know there are other classes that have to operate within that 20m right? Once again, you're balanced because people should stay out of your 20m nuke zone, correct? When did being a raid boss = balance?

^this When I hear someone say 'bad' I just assume they are partially retarded.

Nah man, DPS Scoundrels don't need gap closers because they can spend all their energy casting two 2.5 second heals. - Bioware

No man, I got you. You feel its balanced to be a walking death machine because you don't have a 3 min (2 min melee spec) vanish cooldown.

So if I'm reading this correctly; the solution to powertechs is to kill him with 3 people before he can kill all 3 of you? Thanks man, you've added a lot to my knowledge base.

Ok, by this genius philosophy, a healer simply isn't supposed to do his job as well as a DPS? Am I understanding you?

The way I read this is that stealthers need buffs.

In your instance, what happens if 2 dps attack a healer and a dps? Should the healer be able to sustain them both and force a stalemate, or should the 2 dps be able to burn through at least one of the healer and dps team? After all it's 2v2.

/ops can someone cast their buff? [derp:] sure bro [herp:] thnx bro problem solved.

I agree here. Keeping another player up against 2 DPS is not easy, but doable. But, keep in mind that it is a 2v2 fight too, and the second one of the derps uses a CC on me or even a well timed interrupt; my heal target will be toast. The only thing that really frustrates me is the negative HPS / DPS ratio that any one DPS can put me in when they are intent on my death.

Whatever the reasons, if someone wants to level solely through PvP; it should be at the same rate as questing would. As it stands now, I usually give up on alts once I get to the Tatooine level because I don't want to do WZ's and wait the horrid reload time for the planet. The XP boost from legacy perks isn't really enough to speak of, in my opinion.

One dps should never kill a healer unless he's afk. It's a stalemate because he can't kill you either. You also can't cleanse all CC, and their must be some mythical teams out there because they manage to lock me down just fine and take out my burn target. A burn target doesn't have to be a healer, btw. Even by killing one of my dps you've basically just won the skirmish.
