Sorry most people who say they are gladiators talk out of there but on SWTOR forums. People on Arena junkies even say Arena is just so easy and dumb now. If you really want links I will give them to you. People get their gladiator title in first week just simple grinds on the OP classes with the right comps. They get 2700+ then stop never again arena for rest of season. You can BUY Gladiator titles on Black Rock. People will carry you in 3v3 to 2700+. Why because COMP>ALL. Before you want to start talking about it doens't need to be fixed and it isn't _______. Say you also know how to fix it please provide proof. Put links in, show stats instead of thinking you are so smart saying on a forum with no proof you are the best there every was in a video game and a * 6 time Gladiator* and strangely didn't even use the term vicious/merciless/brutal ect. Pretty much sums up you were never one of the tops because you would of said that.

Ok I will do this all day. You want a link to WoW so you can look at the ratings online right now? Want to see what all the TOP teams are running on EVERY battlegroup?

You have NO idea what you are talking about. Over 12 million users for WoW. Not even 50% of them did arena. As of Cata people did arena to get their points. I will trust the Devs over you ANY day bro. They didn't make any money of arenas. I bet maybe 10,000 people out of 12 million went to play WoW because they had OMG ARENA!! Go read forums on WoW. You have more people complaing about Arena than anything. Want a link to that also brah?

At this time the best and most popular MMO of all time (WoW) says their biggest mistake was adding arena to WoW. http://wow.joystiq.com/2009/11/13/blizzard-arenas-were-a-mistake/ NOW why would another MMO take another MMO's failure? Something people complain about needs to be fixed constantly? Something that is nearly IMPOSSBILY to balance between GROUP PvP, PvE and also itself arena? I know most of you out there think you are a MMO Mastermind and know how to fix all problems but honestly all arena was, was finding the OP classes and combination running with it to gladiator. Arena is a terrible idea. Even the people who even developed it says it is!!!!

If anyone is against this honestly they prob never PvPed before. They like being able to faceroll everyone without any skill needed. TRUE hardcore PvPers like challenges. Running through people is a defense in PvP. If you are even smart before you start casting a HARD hitting spell that has a cast time you will have space. You are agreeing you should be able to stand still free cast hard hitting spells with some classes have 1 interrupt that is 2 min? How does that take skill or make it even fun? Also think about in game collision. If they REALLY could do it accuratly it would still benifit melee. Your cast would be interrupted. I could walk into you constantly knocking you down getting few hits here and there. I would support the "smart range" players who want this. Also why it would be terrible. WHere you are on your computer isn't where you are on my computer. and visa versa. There is lag and it would have to have a huge box for it and again all range would complain. It is very fair to turn off autofacing. Range is so OP right now it should be balanced. If you think Range isn't op...... You need to learn to PvP honestly. Just because you are doing bad doesn't mean there are not tons of other range that just dominate PvP grounds.

This is just dumb. You want to roll a tank for PvP? Go play WoW and see how useless you are except for flag carrying maps for RBG. You will just be ignored and other players focused. You will be killed last and play no advantage to your group. Complaining that every spec should be a PvP spec is just ridiculous. Classes like tanks should have tank spec/PvP spec/Dps spec. Makes it easier for them to keep the gay balanced instead of jumping in and out of hoops trying to please 20% of the population who want this. Every effect on PvP "tanking" effects PvE actually tanking which is what a tank spec is for. Sorry to say tanking isn't made for PvP.

are you for real? You are not going to play a class because you can't see a proc? Might just quit this game and go back to wow. Every class will have the same issue. Then you are going to insult people with the childish insults ever and consider yourself a video game god.... You need to get out more. Game is easy they do not need anything to show you that you have a proc. So many people said they can look down there for not even a SECOND. Sounds to me you are not the pro player at all if you cant look down for less than a second.

That isn't actually true it does seem it but isn't. Most people complain when they are doing 12% less damage then certain classes so it has to be fixed so they can see numbers be more equal on raid bosses. Most nerfs where to make all damage be similar

Dude it wasn't a nerf that IO got. It was a fix. THey were being able to 2 shot people. Stop whinning about being nerfed if it happens. It is an MMO, nerfs AND buffs will happen all the time. It is very hard to make a class = in PvP and PvE. To the guy about taking out CC really?? That is the problem with WOW is not enough classes have CC which makes it one sided and if they do arena you need a certain comp. Making all classes have CC and good CC makes it equal and fair. Do you really think they are going to care? THey are going to balance the game because they see what you wont see. Of course to you, you are perfectly balanced. Guess what the IO were balanced and they are whining it was fair they got to 2 shot people.

Darkness is a tanking spec. You want as much Def as you can find. Al your gear should have Def on it. After that I would guess power would be more useful but your main stat is def. If you don't want to tank then you picked the wrong tree to go up.

This is getting ridiculous. YOU need to fix the f*#@ing warzone que. I should be able to que for WHATEVER warzone I want or the ones I don't want. I know "HUTT BALL" was going to be the pride and joy of the PvP and what people were looking forward to but honestly more people hate it then like it. It is all I hear on my server and from friends I play with. I know some people like it but most don't. Your que system ISN"T random unless I am making remarkable odds. Getting it 8 times in a row.... If I want to PvP why should I have to let the game decide what I WANT TO DO. I gurantee 100% of the PvP population would love a que system. You don't need to wait for patch 1.2 or 1.3 or even 2.0 to implement it. It is something that should of been installed from day 1.

Well what i'm trying to figure out is what is the better stat. I'm thinking in WoW terms originally because I played an Enhance Shaman for years. Being a fast attack toon they didn't use crit as main stat but it came so easy you would have like 60% crit. That is the way I kind of see Assassins. We have 1 hard hitting attack but everything else is just constant so I see us using speed. So I see crit THAT way as being more important. I guess we will just have to wait till someone gets a damage meter up.

What is more important for Assassan? I was thinking crit because you attack more often and faster. Could be wrong just theorycrafting.

Like everything else it is going to depend on your skill level and play style. I can tell you something is the best spec overall for PvP, doesnt mean you will be any good at it. You have to look at what you like the best. Range/Melee. Range in PvP puts out good rewards. Only problem is how you react when people get up close to you. If you can't keep a level head remember to use CC's and slows never touch a range you will hate it with your life.

That isn't acting up. If I was acting up their would of been some very mean adj in the sentence.

WoW lol. It is one of your main attacks in tele. If gives you a free tele wave when you are speced into it and regenerates your forces that stacks up three times. How can you be confused if it is good for you

Balance is a PvP spec. It might not be in your priority list or rotation but one thing with PvP you have to be Gumby (AkA Flexible) Some situations will call for just a nice attack as you are running away. It really could be useless for you I don't know I havn't played balance but I use to PvP a lot. Main rule though for PvP just have tools ready for some situations. Use your own mind and think what situation you could use it for. If you are talking about PvE it isn't in your rotation
