Yeah, you are incorrect. Both Cauterize (dot part) and Overload saber are affected by insight. There's been lots of testing to prove that, and even if you go to you skills menu, you can see "Force" right nex to Overload Saber. So yeah, you're not 100%, neither you are 99% right. You're 100% wrong.

The less surge you've got the less you lose from the nerf .

You're not helping anyone by making baseless assumptions. It's all good and stuff but armor reducing buffs do not stack.

So you feel MM does more damage but you've got no idea how much dps you are doing? Fair enough.

Oh my god, are you serious? No wonder engineering works better for you.

Please tell me which bounty hunter skill does 8k+ damage in one shot and which two operative skills deal 17k damage together. I've done 20k in 3 skills on my healer sorc at level 20, and i find it unbelievable that someone did 17k in 2.

I recently resubscribed to wow again. Tried leveling another character to 85, holy crap, it's so boring and easy it's impossible. So i got to 85, queued for a LFR with my mate, we cleared the whole dragon soul without a single wipe and that's it. I'm standing there in orgrimmar and i've got nothing to do, because there isn't anything to do, same as swtor. Except that i've been doing nothing in wow for the past 4 years and it's quite tiresome. It's kind of a turd in a candy-cover for me atm. So yeah, i'd give swtor a chance.

Won't miss you, bye.

That's what the whole DOUBLE AGENT thing is about.. If you're not willing to do the dirty work and sacrifice something for greater good's sake i believe you've picked the wrong class ( story-wise ).

#1 Temple #2 Vector #3 Scorpio. NEVER had a problem with elites,strongs,normals whatsoever.

So the addition of followthrough and30% crit damage on sos takedown and FT raises sniper's damage from low to high?

if we're talking pugs - yeah. If we're talking premades - not a chance. Assassins and ops will be over your face if they know what kind of threat you pose. And if there are 2 of them on your face - you can't do a thing.

The thing is, you can hold, but you will die eventually, since you do not have any escapes like marauders/operatives/shadows or sorcs do. Snipers and mercs are the turret class, aiming to kill the target before they get killed themselves. We can not reset the fight since can not exit combat or heal up.

MM is not a bad spec, the only problem with it is most of it is not tech, it's easily avoidable and it relies on being stationary and relying on los TOO much. I don't know how long did u try lethality for, but i never have problems killing healers.

Pretty much, i was using it since i dinged 50, " before it was cool " . Running at 44% crit, which is 56% crit @ dots i barely get energy issues tbh. the only thing you need to survive is throwing out dots, then you go flashbang or debilitate=>cull=>cover=>ambush+probe. The target should be dead.

Sorry, that was a mistype on by behalf, the build is 2/16/23.

The only 2classes that will dispel it are healer ia/healer mercs,that are rare. And if we include the 5/sec regen it's actually 25 energy, not 40. if dps merc tries to dispel - he loses time actually dpsing me and gaining heat while i am dpsing him, and since i've got an interrupt - i usually win either way. Operatives on the other hand are quite nasty, i try to avoid those in 1v1,but dotting him is similar to going ambush+ft on one, since they can pop evasion when you're almost finished casting. And yeah, only a stupid leth sniper will follow you around and try to cull when it comes ready. One that uses his whole arsenal including snipes,probes,ambush and sos is a force to be reckoned with, being able to burn both tanks and squishies alike.

I'm saying that lethality is not helpless outside of dots. Did you even read what i typed? That is easily 2 more gcds, which is 3 more seconds. And if we're talking 23/16/2 then you're sacrificing 30% crit damage for empowered probe and a dot ( which is obviously useless due to dispel ). followthrough or dots+cull? i'll go for cull,thanks. If we're talking proper games with guards,shields and good gear - you are not getting a 5k hit. Getting a solo kill isn't wasy as well. Same goes for 3k defender points outside of alderaan ( that u usually trade for 25kills). Which makes a total of 6-8 not-so-hard ones.

My ambush+probe in 2/16/23*** will deal as much damage as ambush+snipe+ft in mm in 1 less gcd and for less energy, while dots are ticking, with Empowered ET being unavoidable,unlike FT/snipe. The only good thing MM has got is FT, nothing else. If snipe was tech damage, MM would be superior, but seeing how rubbish snipe is at the moment mm just can't be more viable than leth.

funny how the only thing MM has got over lethality is followthrough, 30% crit damage and 6% damage, that's it. While lethality can throw all the dots in your face and then go ambush+probe=> series of shots. People tend to forget that lethality also gives bonuses to series of shots, and leth isn't based around cull, it's based around cull AND sos.

Teratanic? That failed to launch the beta this weekend?

Loot is rng. No matter how much you whine, how many examples you give, how much you say it's not going to change, because it is RNG.

I got my full columi set in a week on my IA. My warrior friend has got a full columi set in the same week, our sorc healer got everything but his legs. problem,rng?

In the hands of a bad player - sniper is a bad idea. In the hands of a good player - sniper is amongst the top along with marauders ( while scrubs are whining they are UP )
