As an avid PvPer and healer in Warzones, I support this debuff. If this were not the case in PvP, I know healers would dominate. I already make my team hard to kill, so if I were to have my full healing force, they'd never die. Having this debuff allows healing to be more of a tool than an, "I Win" button (which it sometimes is already). OP, I think as you get higher in levels, you'll see that this debuff and the balance it creates in PvP are very much needed. EDIT: You are 50. Hmm... >.>

In a group setting, hassling their healer will always have detrimental effects for the opposition. If a healer is focusing on him/herself, they're letting others die. If a healer is being interrupted, others will die. If a healer is CC'd, others will die. THEY might not die, but everything else will. Stick one decent DPS on a healer and that healer is not going to heal others effectively. One DPS on a healer and the rest focusing down the others and you're going to win the encounter.

Lolnerfthread says: Are you serious? Doing that much damage with low-end kills proves NOTHING.

Congrats! You spammed AoEs. EDIT: For clarity sake, what about this SS is proving Mercs need a nerf? You're not destroying in that SS. Your kills are on the low end. Really?

1. Commandos cannot use Concussion Charge "back to back." 2. We have two knock-backs, one is without a snare. 3. Nobody can knock-back someone with a WHITE resolve bar. You've proven that you're a troll by stating things that aren't true. Please do yourself a favor and do a little research before posting drivel. NOBODY listens to you.

Not really. Once the player completes the "defection or retention" storyline, it would take off from where their mirror or original story goes. How are they not mirrored? Enlighten me.

Make defection only an option at 50. There wouldn't be any issues. They'd still be a Bounty Hunter, Operative or what have you, but Republic. It would also be a great opportunity to continue a story past level 50 (For example, "You have defected! You must earn the trust of your new brethren by completing nigh-impossible tasks, proving your commitment" or "Your loyalty is unwavering, allowing you access to top-secret, hard missions!" if you decide to stay with your original faction).

How would it screw things up? Republic soldiers defect to the Empire and vice versa all the time. Anakin would like to have a word with you as well.

I... would defect from the Empire in a heartbeat.

Think of it this way: Unless there's an "Underdog" buff added, those Imperials are going to make it impossible for the 'Pubs to do anything out there because they know they can do so, unchallenged. Do you want to go back to the point-swapping? Because that's not any better. PvP means killing other players. I'd rather have to kill Imps than play Red Rover with control points. If you're wanting it reverted so you may solo your way to Battlemaster gear, that's silly. They should force you to PvP, which is what this new system does. The only problem with it is that it amplified the concern of faction imbalance. Asking to do non-PvP tasks for PvP gear is silly. EDIT: Bioware cannot change the number of Imperial or Republic players on a server. They can merely close one side to new characters. This mess is here to stay for a while.

Do you honestly think the hundreds of Imperials occupying Ilum will just evaporate if 1.1 were reversed? Okay.

In most cases, a decent DPS will eventually wear you down if you don't get help. I know it sucks, it happens to me all the time as soon as I throw a heal around . Just stick with other people and hope they know you're keeping them alive, so that they might return the favor.

Being a healer in this game doesn't mean you're invincible. Sure, you might be able to heal through one DPS just wailing on you, but any more and you'll have difficulties. Positioning is very important as well as knowing where the enemy is so you can try to LoS them. Chances are, if you're able to make them follow you while your team tears them apart, things will work out. There's not much you can do if three or so DPS focus you. You'll die :/ Your armor only really hinders warrior-type classes, as other classes have ways to avoid your armor (I.E., kinetic damage, armor penetration, ect). EDIT: Also, you might try to kill them before they can kill you by outlasting them and pecking away at their health. If they're getting healed, you're not DPS-y enough to damage through it.

I believe Grav Round is not weapon damage, since armor only reduces the damage you take from skills that "deals ### weapon damage." This means it's great to weaken high-armor targets against your other rounds, and eventually, really helps your talented Full Auto. EDIT: Please correct me if I'm wrong.

We're in the PvP Forums, right? I don't care about PvE. Also, saying there's "no chances" of content is extremely juvenile. I don't know about your old server, but mine's doing fine in regards to the economy.
