  1. I completely agree but there are about 3 fairly active threads about this problem now so I don't think we need another one.
  2. And you should stop writing off threads backed by dozens of people's opinions and experiences with the retort that fixing expertise on level 55 pvp gear fixes the problem overnight. In no way do you need pvp gear to wreck lowbies in this bracket.. I just levelled to 55 on my vanguard who has no pvp gear. It is absolutely embarrassing wrecking lowbie after lowbie with virtually full hps remaining. There is a LOT more to this problem than balancing expertise on 55 pvp gear. You honestly think everyone between 55-59 is wearing this when they wreck someone?
  3. In the same position here, Loved the PVP in the game (not quite sure why, has always had issues, but what mmo hasn't?) Loathed the pve - especially the stupidly big boring worlds for questing - what a ridiculous time sink that is. As such, I always levelled in pvp. Getting into a new bracket was never fun, ie turning 30 but I always still felt I contributed something for my team. Started playing mid brackets to try to level up some alts upon my return as a subscriber. OMG - just not funny. Those 56-59 premades that think they are so cool should be ashamed of themselves. Even playing better tactically can't save you. If your team is significantly lower than the other team you WILL lose. It is now utterly level based and it is truly pathetic how the devs let it get into this state. Just the HP disparity itself between a 30s and a 56-59 - usually about 10k. Add the bolster, massive amounts of additional skills - zero fun for the lowbie. So what do I now do in this game to level? Roam massive, boring, souless worlds picking up 3 objects then being sent on another 10 minute journey to blow a senator's nose? No thanks. Flashpoints? Boring, no thanks. So I have to put up with this mid level nonsense or unsubscribe. Not an attractive proposition. PLEASE, for the love of god, fix this.
  4. Hi all, I rolled a shadow pretty much just to gain the consular buff but have reached lev 37 and am thoroughly enjoying it. I have read through a lot of the guides and have decided to go with 31/0/10 as my target build for the moment. I am playing the build in mainly dps gear but one question I have is would you recommend a shield or a focus? This is purely from a pvp perspective. I am not looking to 'main' tank pvp matches but I like the stick a guard on someone if they are being focussed and of course use my taunts. It seems that not equipping a shield would be to give up a lot in the kinetic tree. Kinetic ward for one point adding pretty much perma 15% shield chance seems extremely good. I know the limitations of shields in pvp but a 40% shield chance reducing white damage by 25% adds up surely? So from your experience is the extra survivability and synergy with the talents in the kinetic tree worth taking a shield over a focus or is the extra force damage on the focus really that much of a boost to dps? Thanks in advance
  5. Alacrity has absolutely nothing to do woth focus generation mate. It reduces cast/channel times, nothing more.
  6. You can tell who has done the most scoring/passing the ball from the 'attacking' objective points. 2500 pts for scoring and 500 for a pass i think from memory. Mr Deathmatch might score highly on the defensive objective points if the enemy ball carrier happened to wander into his killing path but will have virtually no attacking points.
  7. I also love the permanent run speed increase. As for it being useless in rateds I would say that mobility is part of the key to winning and anything that helps move from point to point faster as well as increasing survivabilty cannot be underestimated.

    DPS Classes

    Vanguard is insanely good dps for pvp in assault spec (third tree).
  9. Pretty sure it has nothing to do with crit. As others have stated it is the sign that railshot has become available again via proc. Operatives/scoundrels no longer have a laugh. They used to do a giggle when they gained a stack of upperhand via proc but the devs removed it. Why they removed it and let the vanguard/pt laugh remain though is a mystery... Edit - sorry i screwed the quote up as typing on stupid tiny mobile screen.

    OP aoe slow

    Damn my perfectly innocent comment in my original reply simply stated that I was surprised that dps jugs dont seem to use it at all when it is a very useful ability that is still available to them. Subsequent reples to rhis were stating that dps wouldnt use it as it is a tank only ability. It isnt. /facepalm.

    OP aoe slow

    Arrrrgh it is a base class ability for guardians. All guardians/jugs get an area of effect snare at level 12. The guardian version is called 'freezing force' I believe. This means ALL jugs/guardians can use it at will. You do not even need to spend ONE talent point into the defence tree. Speccing it simply removes the 2 action points required to cast it.

    OP aoe slow

    Mate, it is a base ability for all guardians/jugs. You dont have to SPEC for it in any way. Speccing into the ability in the defense tree simply removes the FOCUS cost. Don't know how I could explain it more clearly.

    OP aoe slow

    No, the ability is open to all jug/guards. The talent simply removes the focus cost. So, as stated, I think it would be worth a dps jug sacrificing a couple of focus points to cast this at an opportune moment.

    OP aoe slow

    Yeah I have to agree with this. Happened to me a few times in VS. Is a total pain in all warzones as melee dps though to be honest for something that is so easy to apply. I am amazed that I don't encounter it more often. Dps guardians/jugs hardly ever seem to cast it in my experience. Just as well! If I was playing one I sure would use a couple of focus to lay this down.
  15. Obvious troll is obvious blah blah
  16. I like the look of the WH armour. I too have stripped mods but have put them into augmented crafted WH gear. I like looking like a shiny bug!
  17. 2 x pummeler and they arent meh
  18. Yes the tab targetting is awful. I played WAR and never felt like this about it. Say what you want about wow, their system was smooth as silk. In this game I feel it is actually going out of its way to select the wrong target. Absolutely infuriating in crunch moments. The only saving grace is that it is the same for everyone. Of all the things in the game it is this and the wall of red spam constantly on my screen that annoys me the most.
  19. What's the big deal? You talk as if the trauma debuff only affects you and your team's healers. All those nasty dps wiping your team out in 3 seconds flat. What about your nasty dps on their healers? They have exactly the same handicaps that your team has. It is an even playing field. The team that adapts and coordinates better will win. As it should be.
  20. I am totally with you OP. Played sentinel since beta, now war hero x. Since 1.2 and all the rerollers I just don't feel the same about him. I enjoyed the days when the common conception was how bad we were and sorcs were all the rage. Re rolled gunslinger and loving it. Will see how it goes.
  21. I can't begin to explain how much I agree with this, seems a lot worse since 1.2 too, For the love of god Bioware, please, if you for some reason refuse to turn off the annoying red spam in the middle of my screen, get rid of that damn noise, driving me crazy!!!!
  22. I have played a watchman sentinel since beta. We were an incredibly good pvp class before 1.2. I really wish they had just left us alone. I actually preferred watchman before the changes but of course it is still an amazing class. To the guy that said sents were so easy to kite, just lol. It is impossible to kite us for more than a few seconds if we are played correctly. Anyway, I am taking a break from watchman and have rolled a gunslinger as I don't want to be associated with the class in it's current state and all the fotm rerollers. It IS overpowered at top gear levels and played well. The nerfs to other classes were in no way needed imo and makes the gulf between them and a well played sent/mara insurmountable.
  23. Yep just been burnt by this too. Had six bm tokens spare as was using pve gear in few slots before the change to the expertise cap. I too missed the notice that these had to be spent pre patch. With the changes to expertise cap I thought it would be nice to get into full bm only to find my tokens are redundant lol. Oh well, not the end of the world but it would be nice to still have tje option to spend them in tandem with the current system, at least temporarily. Moral of the story, I need to learn to read.
  24. Seconds to go before voidstar enemy door cap. After what seems an eternity the glass door finally opens. Transcendence speed rush to the door. No time to click through the enemy hoard. Come on tab don't fail me now!.......force leap to someone running from the other door. Meep Meep Meep Meep....
  25. You probably know, but there is a very common glitch where one of your team members doesnt appear on the raid frames. This means it can appear that you only have seven when infact you have a full team.
