Mate, I never said you were talking about the spinning pylon, I was directly talking to the other guy. Soa will NEVER pick someone up if you burst him AS SOON AS SOMEONE DROPS As for the transitioning phase pylons, never seen it happen. Not saying it doesnt exist though. We have had problems with cocky DPS killing them out of order, which in turn, makes him do the AoE explosion. Out of 100 times or so ive spent on Soa, ive seen p3 pylon bug 4-5, but never seen a pug with pylons in transition phase. They take a few seconds to spawn, but that was it. How often did it happen?

Dude, they get tossed periodically, but never straight after each other. You have complete control! Stop DPS at 33%, guy who was tossed lands, burn him. Done. As for the bugged pylon not braking the shield. Can confirm it with my own eyes. Having MTed this fight on NMM 8 man, it's happened once or twice, and last nights 16 Man HM (which I was DPSing), it happend to our MT again. Yes, I think bad tanks are gonna use this excuse more often than it actually happens, but it is present. Attempt afterwards, we got him, it was just frustrating.

Well when we started to do it on HM, we would constantly fail...we then tried the SSSS method and that works fine for us. Some one stuffed it and solved it S then N once, and that bugged. So I would say that SSSS isnt just a lie, it actually works..

Not sure, but it's pretty easy to ask all winners to zone out and leave group.

On the contrary. This is an imp strategy on my server. Upon rolling my alt, I noticed that there were many people rolling repub alts, who had imp mains, they tried to bring this strat to my faction. Its pathetic. Nothing worse than when it actually works (because the other team plays bad), then they say how good a strat it is. So damn annoying.

Lol. So, so many bads in this thread. Bit embarassing. For PvE its as simple as this, your most geared melee DPS. Range will be out of Range, healers will be out of range. Ranged DPS need to do more TPS than melee dps in order to pull.. Pvp: burst target if it's worthy (sometimes its pointless to throw it on the 12k newb, your just gonna take easy damage.

Ive always thought that the power cells are for the melee because they cant hit the turret. damage to the power cell = damage to the turret.

Unfortunately, champ and BM gear have significantly less endurance on them. So you wont see anywhere near 24k hp. I think im 22k in my rakata and 18-19 in my BM/Champ gear. Guardian represent! If you pvp in pve gear, you will be an anchor for your team. Why pvp as a tank? Guard IS that good. You will be in full tank gear, so you will have an extra 2-3k HP compared to DPS gear. You're not looking at damaging the other team as much as you are focusing on staying in range of your guard target, blasting off AoE taunts in the most effective pattern, and single target taunts on their dangerous DPS. Also, you need to convince the other team to not attack you when your taunts are up, so being in the middle of the fray can have a negative impact! It's not about big damage numbers, it's about mitigating as much damage as possible. It can be a thankless job, but it wins matches.

Down ranking heals were in BC. Think it was before Wotlk.

Everyone can do it, they dont need to be in the same 4 man team, so reporting the guild for having 4 people is stupid. Also, it can happen through accident as well. Not gonna explain how to reproduce it, but think about it if you know how, there are plenty of circumstances where it can be done by accident.

Cant speak for the losing 25 pts in one tick. However, it is common knowledge (and not trolling) that if captured at the same time (or even repubs cap slightly before hand) that the imps will tick quicker off the start.

Try making sense next time, OP.

They drop in HardMode EV. Trying to remember which boss...I think its gharj. I know this for fact as we were making 2 implants for an underleveled trooper with us and 2x trooper tokens dropped for him...4 mins to go on the craft - cancelled it

So many tears. I play a Guardian with over 600 expertise. The most frustrating class to come up against is not the Tracer Spamming BH, but the Sith Sorcerors. I've rolled a Commando (for the rDPS and the Healing capability) and now I Grav spam (level 28 currently). I can honestly say that it doesnt need a nerf. EVERY pvp map currently has so many damn options to LoS your enemies. In all honesty, people just need to get more environmentally aware.

Alright lads, I think this is a perfect opportunity to look at our DPS compared to other tanks in a relatively controlled environment. With the fourth boss, the vanguard tank in my raid ALWAYS beats down his identical target first. I cant match him. Our gear is similar - full columi with 4-5 pieces of Rakata. I will generally finish last, or second last in the NMM 8 mans, anyone else in the same boat?

Then what sort of game is it, it was advertised as utilising features of PvP. Dont have it in the game then, see how many people stay around just to pve.

Just a question to the community, as a whole, I wish to ask what are the positives of capping Valor by level until you reach 50. I'm interested in seeing everyone's oppinion. Personally, I think it's silly. I'd love to level my alt in pvp without having my valor be a useless gain, for a lot of the level.

Lol. We take a tank along in dps gear for NMMs. Quit with the drama-queening. "I'll be to blame for hitting enrage noooooooooooOOOOOOOooooooooo!" Righto champ. Reroll you big old QQsauras Rex.

Always let South lock in first. South starts it as well.

Thats not true at all. It's been happening on different days. I would know, being an ausse its been stuffing up our raid schedule.

Stop being haters, this forum could settle for more love and less hate.

Thats the beauty of it, he's not a friend of ours. But the other ops members are starting to refer to him as Leonidas as well. Its truly funny, dont be jelly that we're enjoying our playtime.

This another person coming to the conclusion that "other classes wear heavy armour, mine doesnt" then whining about it? Look at the facts. Shadows MT Ops. If you have a problem, its your problem, not the class.

This. BW gave us Illum. Anyone that has spent time on Illum knows how boring it is. Yet it seems to be the most efficient way to farm valor. We've just tried to entertain ourselves. First it started as light trolling, then it turned into a full blown RP in /1 and /ops. Apologies to all the haters if this light hearted, jesting thread has offended your sensativities. I thought that it would be refreshing compared to all the other threads that are whining about how bad BW is, or how some class "needs" a nerf.

Forget the semantics! You try leading an ops in Illum, the so-called lemmings all have their own mind.
