god that used to annoy the crap out of me when i played tank. that said, if your in a premade its not really much of a problem. i dont see them doing the multiple guard thing because learning who to guard, when to guard, and when to take your guard off is all a learning process that is technically "skill". toss out a friendly reminder in ops (or fleet between warzones) like "pro tip- when you guard someone and leave them, the buff your trying to apply is actually a debuff... something to consider" (avoid insutls & rants if you want people to listen & learn)

first and last bump since everyone decided to make their own thread about bolster putting this on page 3 within a few hours.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcM8Q8ZRBZM why u ask?.. why not^^ granted its not 50 bracket but i can do the same thing with my 41 sorc just as easily. anyways, had a good time & is solid proof for the people who havnt gotten to play yet.

lol so i have a lvl 41 naked sorc that i have not played in months. i took this sorc to a node and then killed a sniper and a sentinel. then before i could rest killed the sniper again, then the sentinel again as they ran back and finally died 1 second before i killed a trooper. its a joke but the sorcs are the ones laughing.

lmao how in the **** does a commando healer hit someone for almost 12k

you were rewarded for your effort every time you hit someone in recruit gear. your not getting slapped in the face, your just not getting rewarded again.

bummer. well was a nice thought

i have not tried it but from what i have been told alacrity will reduce master strikes channel time, so theoretically all you would have to do is stack enough alacrity to reduce master strike by .5 seconds (iv been told you can shorten it to a 2 second channel) if your pure vigilance then it would be worth losing all the power / str stats and stacking alacrity (granted i dont know the # of alacrity actually needed) considering the 3rd strike is basically your first 2 strikes combined + some and would pretty much never get interrupted. absolutely worth looking into. even if you shortened it by .3 seconds it would be enough to stop almost all of the interrupts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKGKkZmRuAg this video is nothing special, but i just started playing again and i realized they finally fixed the focus target modifier button. now that it is fixed i decided to record a warzone and a duel to show you how important focus target is for a guardian (any class for that matter) what the video is showing you is how easily i can get into trouble and how easily i can get out of it with the use of focus target. (this is just 1 of countless uses for it) keep in mind this is fluid combat, what im doing in the video doesn't look amazing but would normally require alot more effort.

the hutts have to entertain themselves, the voices that come on before the match suggest that story wise everyone in the game has been captured by the hutts. huttball was also the only warzone that allowed same faction vs same faction when the game came out which also suggests that everyone has been captured and forced to play. AND huttball is not a weird game where you punch a ball, its a death trap area where 2 teams are forced to kill each other while avoiding traps and after the timer is up the team that has taken the ball of light to the other teams side the most gets to live while the other team gets killed. (the scoreboard being the motivation that would guarantee the people being forced to play actually play) its a game designed by the hutt cartel that allows them to use prisoners as participants while they take bets and make a profit. AKA: kill their enemies and make a profit at the same time.. which is basically the definition of a cartel.

this made me laugh. i would like to also add if you defend the node you worked so hard to take then theoretically you would not have this problem. other problems would takes its place of course, but they are far less annoying problems^^

this is amazing, never heard of a game dev doing anything like this before.

do not tell me what to learn when your sitting over there correcting grammar on an internet forum & taking phrases like "man up" literally. after reading such a petty response i would gank you on principle if i seen you.

your in a pvp zone. MAN UP and then group up. or continue getting frustrated.

thats what friends are for. you could bait them, always stay half hp with a friend in stealth. thats just 1 of the 100's of ways to make the people who do that look like idiots. and making them look like idiots is a very satisfying feeling

its not really a "fairness" idea once you hit 50, you get recruit gear for free, a simple system that makes your que button stay grayed out if your expertise isnt above a certain level would actually be a "fix" doesnt matter if you are noob enough to think strait pve gear "0" expertise is better than recruit, doesnt matter if you dont know recruit gear exist, doesnt matter if you left your gear in the bank. doesnt matter if you simply forgot to put it on. there is no reason anyone should be able to enter a warzone at 50 with no expertise. if it happens it means someone did something they should not be doing. all those other things u mention would increase que times, this would not... or should not, if it did then that would show how badly it was needed.

i would do the opposite and laugh at the irony , like when someone calls a player on the other team noob in general chat lol

such a fantastic idea. would also stop people (myself included) from joining a warzone in pve gear and forgetting about it.

every pvper who decides to pve is apparently dps? he simply says if you have a mob on you, running around is counter productive.

good god, words cant describe how epic and true that article is.

one of the very VERY few logical complaints on this forum.

that right there is so true. (the rest of this isnt really a response to my quote) even with that said all you need is practice to be good at warzones. simple things like for ex: dont wait for people to call incs before u respond, you can tell where ur team is and where the enemy is from your very own mini map and ops list. and always have your camera facing towards the objective. get ahead of the ball, when this class does a certain thing you respond a certain way. all of the little "do's and donts" of pvp that you learn as you go. you do not need vent or twinks or several flavor of the months to compete with other people that use them. if your pug is noob then carry your team, if you cant then try... its a challenge and you could be surprised by what happens.

well said

http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#500ZfMMZrMMrdfRrcz.2 there is 1 leftover point that u can put where u pls. thats what i use anyways. fun fact tho, force exaustion will add atleast 100k to your dps when you learn your rotations. unrementing is not worth giving up force exhaustion.

the armor set bonus that gives us full resolve 100% of the time is more OP than the 37/37/37 spec. edit: /sarcasm off. dear mr topic starter 1. resolve - google it 2. you cant have unremitting and force exhaustion so if your getting smashed by someone with unremitting you should count your blessings. 3. the armor rating of a jug who is smashing is less than the armor rating of a mara. 4. if a jug uses a shield gen he is no longer the "best dps" you speak of 5. a smash jug is not the "best dps" 6. why does your sig have 6 lvl 50 char names? assuming you claim to own them... how do you not know any of this?
