as a Sin tank i have yet to find a Mara good enough to best me 1v1. seriously stealth during the GCD's save yours re-initiate the fight and roll them. rince and repeat

i like Mara on my Sin tank its lololo when they blow all cd's same time....... Stealth nap for 12 sec come back start fight again with all my CD's up and roll them

i went month to month canceling for D3. tired of broken lame Beta i been paying 15 bucks a month for. that regresses every patch. We are still in Beta right? Wait that was back in Dec. i should have unsubbed after Jan

Im 50 and have been for a while. Dorne is just better to have, if you keep her gear on par with yours u should be able to nonstop quest. i do h2's on my commando with 2 fingers on my keyboard thanks to Dorne

No shame in rerolling. The only nefs that bugged me were survivability. What keeps bugging me is utility and the lack of it. !.3 is too far away to wait for a change to trooper. I love my commando he is my bread and butter and i have decided to only pve with him since Utility is almost pointless for my class in an Ops I have re rolled a shadow and will faceroll everyone in PVP and carry the team in huttball on my back as i have been doing. Shadow tank FTW

I have said in other posts to use charged bolts it builds the shield as well. If you bother to read more than the last page or 2 and come in with your bias opinion go for it. If thats what tickles you pink the knockback is useful if you have elevation deferences between you and the person you knockback, Sins/Shadows will stealth on you when you knock them back and pwn your face, sent/ mara will just leap back to you. sorc sge will cc you force speed to you if need be or continue the dps race vs you. Were talking about better changes to our spells like the stock strike knock back since it really doesnt help where it should stun or knockdown for 2 sec. and finding better ways to give utility like actual ranged interrupts and stop making us CC to interrupt. It is obvious the 4 choices you said its something we all knew already but thanks for beating the dead horse we all knew was there. People who want to play starwars will suck iit up either way. im one of those people ill still find a way to outsmart my opponent and rub it in thier face. The soy bacon Bioware is feeding me taste like soy bacon its not bacon. Nor is the false sense of pvp. because not every situation is based on team play where you can find yourself in open world and playing a defenseless class

Everything you said thats a defense/ survivability is countered minus the insta cast.. If your talk about the spam buff thats 10% defense thats needs to be built up spamming a 1.5 sec cast thats interupted..... nuff said with that. And thats getting nerfed Knockback getting nerfed. too many gap closeres make it even useful in most situations, unless ur knocking ppl off the bridge in voidstar... The one attatched to stokcstrike is actually pathetic you maybe knock them back 5 meters and 1 step forward and they are back in mele range. that doesnt give you any time to do anything yousefl. That should stun/knockdown for 2 sec, where your given time to cast something( grav round or a heal) And the pathetic lines about how to use our skills as defense is absurd... LOS and heal, ya i got a Sorc force speed and ill be half way across the map, with a shield and then go heal..... Most abilities are cast and my alt shadow has like 5 interupts so i repeat again nuff said This is the first MMO ive seen where a ranged class isnt ranged at all and melee can stay on them forever. Alot of the situations you describe are dreams where we have a full set of CD's to youse to prolongue dying to every melee class in game It wasnt a weak counter i kindly told you to leave everyone here alone.Your wasting your time here. keep spamming your opinion thats fine, but dont come on another classes forums and tell them they are QQ'ing go to your forum where your ppl are QQ and troll on them. Commandos have a legitimate gripe here. a very defenseless class. Good offense ZERO defense/survivability/ utility compared with many other classes in game

You are entitled to your opinion so if you hate the QQ thread please stop reading or posting cause your wasting your time. BTW Gunnery commandos do not have survivability. "I believe Bioware has said time and time again, Pvp was designed to be a team effort. TEAM. Not duels, not 1 vs. 1, not pony races, not e-peen stroking matches... team." I will also need a team to quest with on a pvp server since everytime you get ganked its a whole team jumping your lowly character... Then sent/Mar need to be nerfed to the ground and not be able to beat anyone 1v1. Is this what your saying. so no class should be able to beat another 1v1. Sounds pretty dumb.... PVP is player vs player and not every situation will be so perfect that you will have your team around. Balance comes in where skill is more the deciding factor on the win rather than a large gap between classes in certain aspects. its fine to have anti classes. but there is a lvl of extreme bioware took it to.I have taken every Ilum node solo( Not team based) Had to defend turrets ain Civil war alone (not team based) this game is not team based pvp wise. most ppl will still care about getting the 3k valor for just getting medals and be content with titles/ gear than sit here and care about winning. with rated WZ coming out that might change. Go back to your merc thread and post there

going month to month till GW2 or going back to wow or rift

sadly this game is too was to easy to get anything, u basically skipped all of Tio/Col gear in pve. i managed to clear EV HM in full champ gear. the rewards for anything are sad. even BM gear was a joke it wasn't even an upgrade. ascetically pleasing ya. but some peices were a downgrade depending on crit/ surge. server populations are low on so many servers. pvp could use some work content could use some work, bug fixes still neded. waiting to see what 1.2 brings. i play this game because im bored with wow and no other MMO interest me. Im going month to month and will just quit soon enough. dont care about changes to commandos. im just a squishier turret. ill still hit hard but that isnt enough for me. IMO should been smart like every other MMO and made actual mirror classes. Like Sorcs/sages are the same thing regardless of faction. Wow failed at it pre BC with shammans on one side and pali on other just didnt work to well. they made the same class available on both factions name it differently if youd like. would have been able spend more time refining the game and pushing out more content. instead of having to manage so many different classes. i didnt enjoy paying 15 bucks a month for a beta past the first month. looking back i woulda stayed playing wow than come here. wish i didnt give away all my gold. dont feel like mining and pvp till my eyes bleed anymore.

The damage isnt the issue for me. my grav round 10% less dosent bother me it will still hit for 3k+ with the amount of power and surge i have. Demo will hit harder so 6k crits will happen more frequently. The problem for me is; Charged Barrier now provides 1% damage reduction per stack. This used to be 2%= More Squishy Grav Round has been rebalanced. It now costs 2 Energy Cells, has a 2-second activation time, and deals approximately 10% less damage. Muzzle Fluting no longer reduces Energy Cell costs. It now reduces the activation time of Charged Bolts and Grav Round by .5 seconds. so ammo does balance out... Tenacious Defense now reduces the cooldown of Concussion Charge by 2.5 seconds per point. This will make my Concussion Charge will have a longer CD 5 seconds to be exact.... This basically means melee went from having an 80-90% uptime to a 90-100% uptime depending if u can get 1 knockback off Utility is my issue, No ranged interrupt, Cryo grenade is not an interrupt it is a CC Knockback nerfs, only real survival tool we have Reflective shield... all other classes have this or equivalent in another way As i said before Commandos are not special forces they are infantry with big guns who die faster than anyone else, because the tools to survive were given to other classes. They felt that we didnt need them since everyone else had them flawed logic imo. We can QQ all we want Bioware will continue to destroy this game. The amount of ppl on my server has dropped dramatically ive had 2 hr wait times fro WZ pops. before it used to be almost instant all day long. I will keep playing this game till i find something better.... ( tired of Wow) I will keep playing my commando because he has a BadA** name And when i roll u in pvp, Just know you had a clear advantage in class, just not in skill.

Go for it and spread the word about the fails from our devs. When i get on my commando i basically play selfishly to avoid dying, go in get some kills stay away from large groups, hide in the back and pew pew. run away like a coward come back and kill some more.

im not the one responsible for poor game design

http://dulfy.net/2012/02/24/some-numerical-population-data-for-swtor-servers/ http://dulfy.net/2012/03/01/numerical-swtor-population-data-for-pvprp-pvp-servers/ Top 3 pvp servers are higher pop than the best pve server... here is the information yo requested. the top 10 pvp servers are more populated than the top 10 pve servers, where its safe to assume people pvp on pve servers once you run out of content.... LOL....

ya those pvp bads are more than half the subs for the game. try getting new content with no money

Ya if you think Bioware has any concept of class balancing your dead wrong. While sorc seemed to be the most OP in reality it was marauders. they can as of know mitigate all the damage you can put out on them while they hack and slash you to death. Sorcs are easy especially the ones who think they can stand infront of a commando and heal through it. Sorc has the most utility. But back to the simple fact that commandos are not "Special Forces" Bioware lied to you just like the commercials on TV show you how bad a** the military is and wants you to join. Then you find yourself cleaning toilets, moping and being yelled at after you sign that dotted line. Sounds familiar... Well when people think of a commando they think of a elite soldier capable of tactically handling any situation, given the best training and provided all the "Tools and the Skills"(bioware gave those to Sorcs and Maruders). Supposed to be able to basically win a war with a handful of them. You actually do in the story line...... But you wont in PVP because your a turret who is pigeon holed into spamming the same rotation from a distance, have no tools/ skills at your disposal to survive anything. Yo cant do anything but spam and die like cannon fodder. I think they should rename the class infantry and call it a day. because when 1.2 hits and you roll into a WZ u'll run out of ammo fast, be more squishy, damage output will be less, and yes you still have no utility to survive.... they gave u a gun told you to **** till your killed rinse and repeat, O and "DON'T MOVE". dont stop the enemy from doing anything (interrupt). just stand there shot and die.

Use charged bolts. just cause your locked from grav round im still hitting 2-4k with charged bolts. i still get rolled by maruders only cause i hit like a wet noodle for 20 sec vs them cause of all the Damascus mitigation

use ur charged bolts if your grav round is interrupted. i watch most commandos get rolled by sorcs because they dont use it. my charged bolts crit between 2-4k still. even as gunny. they stand there and wait for the timer for grav round to come back because they find it useless and forget about it. so keep it in your bar and use it when ur grav is interrupted

Is it possible to get a source for this nerf? As far as going up against jug. never stop using hammershot no matter how bad it sounds constantly do damage till your instant cast are up. always use ur cuncusive charge and tryy to keep a gab between u and them. LOS and use elevations to your advantage save ur CC breaker till u need it. Blow your shiled early. most will try to burst you down from the get

From what ive been told after 1.2 its going to prove more difficult. However as servers continue to lose people because of low pop some leave some go to other servers. i dont know whats the point of keeping Ghost servers. 23 ppl in the fleet at noon

I haven't bothered to look through the forums for an answer to this .I am curious if they will allow entire guilds to Xfer. my sever is slowly dying we have around 30+ hardcore Ops people. Our guild has about 200 members ( most are alts).we really dont want to make new characters after all we have achieved. If we all would were given the option to reset legacy names would They allow the whole guild to Xfer

tried different times of the day. the ppl i normally Q with parasitically gave up trying after the new batch of 50's hit. after the took out frozen water most just said F- this game. i have given strats. tried to micromanage groups, tried to let other people lead the groups. player 30 matches won 2 games today. i couldn't get my daily done its just that bad on my server. but its cool im rolling imp like all the other smart people and just win

when they introduce server transfers ill look it up but this game might be dead before those transfers hit. till then imma be playing an imp and winning all the time cause Bioware loves the republic so much

I dont need to roll imp to be good i roll most of the imps on my server marauders only class i cant beat.

While i will say the imps have some good players sadly ur mistaken. the good players on rep got tired of being rolled by mediocre skilled overpowered players. in a pvp system designed in favor of another faction. The fact is i can actually roll everything but a marauder 1v1 thats including those lame sorcs who think they are good and think they can stand infront of a BM commando who wears rakata and is stimmed+ adrenaled and is critting them for 6k+ while they try to heal through a never ending burst. face it Imps are mostly mediocre and have maybe as much talent as the reps do the fact is imp classes remain overpowered. thats the deciding factor. Skill has nothing to do with it 80% of the pvp base is mediocre not trying to be an elitist but its the truth. not everyone is gifted at pvp.
