  1. Jiraya was definitely a pillar on the community. Such a nice guy. I miss him too. I hope his family is well.
  2. It's worth discussing hatred assassins and to a lesser extent madness sorcerers. From 2.8-3.0 the server's ranked teams had a sort of unspoken agreement that nobody would run madness assassins due to their unmatched damage and ability to pressure despite their ease of use. I think it's pretty apparent that they've become an even more dominating force in SoR, so much to the point that you're kind of gimping yourself by not running one or even two of the specs. For diversity's sake it might be nice to reinstate the ban on hatred assassins. Given that madness sorcerers are pulling the same numbers and have great survivability in their own right, I'd be for banning them too. But one thing at a time, I guess. Seriously, I love playing hatred, it's a fun spec, but I'd rather not have every game become a brainless aoe dotfest.
  3. <Hey im mvp> & friends plan on playing ranked fairly consistently most evenings. Hit me up on Wakalord (imps, usually on this guy) or Wakalôrd (pubs) to arrange some games.
  4. Rest in piece friend, you were one of the most agreeable and friendly people I've ever met in an online gaming community, SWTOR could use more people such as you.
  5. late/10 but I usually run tank in solo queue. I only solo queue for end of season rewards since the team ranked community is kind of ehhhhhhh. It's way easier to carry solo queue as a tank, at least on my server. Nobody knows how to guard swap and it's also really easy to set up Pull/CC/Phase Walk back into fight plays. Almost always results in a win unless the DPS is utter garbage.
  6. people that brag about their purported 1v1 prowess are typically terrible players
  7. i think tracking stuff like this in pvp is dumb but i was told this would infuriate kakarrot and i find that amusing so here's my lethality dps: http://i.imgur.com/aN0BTwS.jpg p.s. get mad immortal http://i.imgur.com/C8biAF8.jpg and lightning sorc w\e http://i.imgur.com/GxME7Ic.jpg
  8. Hi my name is Wakalord and I’m a hardcore PvPer. You might also know me as the guy that should’ve been the assassin class rep but wasn’t because I didn’t care enough to make alts on other servers and beg people to vote for me. You might also know me as the guy who listens to a lot of really scary heavy metal music. You might also know me as the guy who is unabashedly rude people both in game and on my stream. I’m also the guildmaster of the top PvE guild in North America, Suckafish. Also Tait Watson said I have really cool lightsabers, so that’s a plus. All in all it’s a real doozy. On a more serious note, I’m a popular PvPer who has played with players in many of the best guilds in the game including Hey im mvp, Don’t Panic, Midian, Strictly Business and Breakfast. I popularized DPS assassins as a viable role pre 2.0 and made the extremely popular "Wakajinn" spec. I stream both regular and team ranked warzones on a variety of toons. Sometimes I stream world pvp stuff or other generally amusing things. My favorite things to play are my madness assassin, lethality operative, lightning sorcerer and marksman sniper. I answer questions that aren’t stupid on stream and try to provide entertaining and occasionally educational commentary. If you have a dark sense of humor and like PvP swing on by: twitch.tv/wifileague p.s. I have no set schedule. I stream when work/other irl stuff allows for it.
  9. midian was apparently looking to form up with some of their older players. their motd talks about harbinger though so idk is it really dead?
  10. my hybrid was better than full deception pre-2.0 useless now madness good now. deception still usable with fast switch burst comps.
  11. I'll update it next time I stream. I only run 5 in Darkness now. Extra 2 points go to Electrocute CD in Madness now. Sry for confusion
  12. playing the game anni dots heal more because they proc more frequently so lol you're wrong. Sorcs have their 30sec instant heal and bubbles. there is this magical thing called team ranked where you don't win or lose off of a dice roll of terrible/undergeared/troll players and actually have a dedicated healer in every game. read the title of the thread fine. Allow me to restate: If you play 30% you may be serious, but you are gearing incorrectly
  13. After trying out no crit, 25% and 30% I can found that my damage/dps was extremely higher with no crit. Healing doesn't matter. Your role is to do damage, don't gimp yourself for something that a dedicated healer should be doing. If you want to DPS but have actually useful offheals go anni mara or madness sorc. Interesting experiment, but I think it is a terrible idea. I'm done running crit and anyone serious about arenas should too. p.s. force master 2 piece is still cool : )
  14. yea anyone who goes any crit for arenas is on some mad good drugs
  15. Not really. Gentlemen Gankers made a group...once. If they queue up again I don't think they are intent on taking it seriously. I'd love to be proven wrong though! Other than ARMADA (who usually queues on their imp guild nowadays) there are no good PvP guilds pub side.
  16. Instead of talking about gear let's talk about the spec's actual performance. We played a lot of ranked tonight, not quite as successful (we actually lost a game or two :0) but I think that was due to poor communication and lack of smart CCs on our part. Anyway more variety of companion DPS here. Both PT DPS specs, double madness sin, etc. Enjoy: http://www.twitch.tv/wifileague/c/4460289
  17. I'd like to note that The Bastion also has a similar channel. /cjoin rankedwarzones It has been pretty dead since 8v8s (og channel yea) but would be nice to bring back. Spamming PvP chat for games is nice but having our own channel to really coordinate stuff would be nice too, given sufficient users.
  18. Woah, lol. idk what I was thinking, probably thinking of a different talent. I shouldn't post when I'm sleep deprived XD sorry, my bad Point still stands. Sure you'll crit more and enjoy the surge, but your overall sustained damage is going to be so much lower at 30% you're just gimping yourself in the long run.
  19. you are aware that that talent was removed over a year ago right Losing so much power cuts too deeply into your damage and just neuters it
  20. I grouped with Gudarzz (the Marauder class rep) and two other friends of mine to do some team ranked against Clickers on 2.8 launch day. For what it is worth Clickers has some of the top rated players in solo queue (most of them are queue syncing cheaters but people care about solo queue rating for some reason so just throwing that out there for reference). So, if you're wondering how the spec performs, just watch. In short, Madness assassin is extremely strong right now, probably was overbuffed. This spec has obscene team utility, respectable burst and insane sustained damage. I made a lot of mistakes of overlapping/forgetting procs but still pulled top damage in almost every match. Once I become used to the changes I will easily be pulling 1800 DPS minimum in team ranked. I'm running 342 crit rating. Taking it to 30% like some of you forum people are suggesting is really dumb because you lose way too much damage. I might just go back to 0 crit but I need to keep testing. Anyway check it out if you're interested in seeing the Madness and Annihilation changes in action: http://www.twitch.tv/wifileague/c/4440777 p.s. sorry for somewhat unbalanced audio and lack of music. I'm still working out how to properly mix all of my settings when I'm in a voip with people. -Wakalord
  21. Solo queue is fairly active on The Bastion but it's rife with queue syncers, guilds that intentionally throw games and players that just blatantly troll without consequence (see: Psidon, level 55 bounty hunter with ONE rating) I wish team ranked was as active as solo queue was here, but alas.
  22. That's good to hear. All you really need is the second highest tier of minmaxxed and augmented gear (currently Obroan) to be competitive. Doesn't take very long to get Hope to see you guys queue soon
  23. That's a damn shame. I suppose the logical thing to do would be to have all the team ranked players all switch to one particular server since cross server won't ever happen (lol) but I know that won't work, I remember Bastion v.s. PoT5 flamewars back from the day. I guess I'll just keep spamming PvP chat for people to form up lol :\ If anyone is interested, I'm almost always down to try to make teams to play against people during the later/evening hours of the day. And there are a few teams that consistently queue dodge me and my friends so they might be around to play against any potential transfers lol. Just throwing that out there.
  24. I agree. SWTOR has its problems but I've been enjoying the game since I started seriously playing again a few weeks ago. Rather than just up and leave I'd like to try to keep the team ranked scene alive/ UTC -8 I live near the west coast of 'Murica, I just have strange hours in irl stuff. Also if GOML has a full team ready to go, why no actual team vs team. If it's an issue of perceived imbalance I would be more than happy to help you guys out with strategies, comp ideas or other tips. All you have to do is ask. - So this is all very depressing. Can anyone tell me how The Harbinger is in particular? I know that it had quite a few teams running before Wildstar (my friends in Midian/Breakfast xfered some toons over there to play), has The Harbinger been hit as hard as other servers?
