If people are hitting you while you're lagged out it's you/your isp.

When the oceanic servers are merged into us servers I won't log in again. But I hope that never happens. I don't mind being forcibly moved to a pve server in the case of an oceanic merge, it's not like I leave the fleet. Latency is #1 for me. I'm going to assume we're to be shut down with the launch of f2p and hope to be pleasantly surprised

It'd be unusual to get an even spread of warzones in just one night's worth of matches.

Every class can be hard to kill with very good situational awareness and positioning (i.e. recognising your death 5, 10, 20 seconds in the future and running away). Ops and sins (maras?) have a large advantage with vanish. It gets you out of the mistake of getting into a bad situation, which can happen less often than the cooldown is up if you try hard. So it's really hard to die when you play those classes with the intention of never dying, and virtually impossible as a healing op.

is this what you meant?

The depth is there, hiding behind the absence of any good players left in this game and/or small scale competitive pvp.

After a million hours playtime I've settled into speccing this lately whenever I play conceal (not often I admit, med and lethality are just more powerful for the team and I'm always group q'ing). http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#4010cZGhModdRdGRZhMb.1 After playing with the new combat log parsers It turns out ~25% my damage is poison in a short burst damage scenario without using dart. Just from acid blade. It's more like a third when using dart (any medium or longer fights). Since concealment is pretty useless in situations where you need any kind of substantial healing anyway, I take imperial brew over survival training. Corrosive microbes may be arguable, but in practice I rarely miss the 15s off debilitate. In return the 25% boost to dart, on top of imperial brew, is real nice. I just love seeing the numbers pop up when dart double crits while acid blade is going.

My acid blade is shift+wheel up, hs is alt+wheel up. I always wanna let energy hit 100 before I use hs so I put it on in stealth way early. Backstab is wheel down and it works well for doing fast ab+bs though.

The gear you want for conceal is the same as the gear you want for medic.

Ops should be what they are right now, plus a new 31pt melee dps talent. A mediocre gap closer of some kind (shadowstep).

Playing operative, I like that it is both the traditional 'rogue' class and a healer. My two favorite roles in one class is just so so nice, I think it's the reason I'm still playing. Best 1v1 class by a mile (med/conc hybrid) is sweet too.

Any half decent sorc will turn around and stun you when you don't immediately use debilitate after hidden strike. Assuming you aren't already mezzed from popping their shield.

I have a pretty good fact to share. I can kite ops on my op (healer) super easily, and I don't even have force sprint. If you can't kite one effortlessly as a sorc idk what to say. Think about this, if you stun the op and he doesn't break it he will never get in melee range again. If he does break it you can insta-whirlwind him (or root him or slow him or anything) and he will never get in melee range again. If you don't have the mechanical skill to kite an operative after playing a pile of warzones, then bl I guess. It's really not hard.

Yea if you can dredge up a group to go sit on a town somewhere slaying lowbies eventually some 50's turn up and good times are had. Yea nah but yeah wzs are all there is really.
