Ops have a 4s hardstun every 30 seconds and an 8 second mez every minute, which breaks if you take damage. They can root you with Crippling Slice, but you have Force Speed for that. Take the Emersion utility, it's a must unless you have a pocket tank and feel very confident. As I understand you're trying out Sorc heals: Operatives will generally be the least of your problems. There are way more serious offenders out there.

In PvE. I was talking about PvP.

The problem is twofold: 1) Damage specs have access to the same tanking abilities (Guard, single target and AoE Taunt) that tanks have 2) Mitigation gear in PvP provides little benefit to survivability, while severly limiting damage output. Now about why the changes are bad. 1) They're very unequal between the 3 ACs. Juggs just getting a slap on the wrist while PT seems like getting destroyed. 2) None of the two points above are solved by these changes. Skanks will still be the way to play tanks in PvP. 3) While upping the threat in PvE solves the aggro problem, threat in PvP doesn't exist. Mitigation tanks are getting further nerfed, which is absolutely unnecessary. 4) Raiders don't like the raidwide DPS loss from nerfing tank damage. I don't raid nowadays, can't say how significant the loss is.

Sure.

They're so shafted right now every wz has like 2-3 of them at least. They're very, very shafted.

Corruption got shafted way harder than skank Juggs will be.

How dare they.

Sure as hell they did. Almost 10k DPS on a tank spec is calling for a buff.

Looking at the now official changes especially for Juggs, they get a slap on the wrist. 11.5% less damage on some abilities paired with buffed healing doesn't seem like any serious nerf.

And once again... BioWare delivers.

One of the positive sides of still playing mitigation geared tank is that you're kinda forced to play tank properly (guard swap, taunt, peel etc.), as there's nothing else you can do otherwise. As mentioned by Lhance, I don't announce in chat that I'm a healer, because I don't want special treatment. I'm sick of these "omg you left the healer to guard" and "omg gimme guard i'm heals" people. I do expect tanks to guard whoever is under focus. If a tanks asks "any heals?" before the match, I'll unconditionally say "me". It's fun getting guarded on my Assassin this way, even if later they figure out I've lied.

Finally someone reasonable. Thank you.

It's like one person popping up per year. Wouldn't even list it in the 10 biggest issues in PvP.

Hi Trixxie, The points you make are valid and reasonable, yet I'm going to say I have no changes planned at this point. One of the reasons for that is the game looks like is on its dying breaths, and I'm not quite sure whether the extra work is worth what it would gain. That's #1. #2 is that my plan was to do a guide as detailed as reasonable; I know it does not directly compete with the one-liner cookbook style of YouTube vids, but I'm not sure I want it to. There will always be people that just want to cover a 300 score difference with orbs, and, frankly, I'm done trying to educate them. #3 I had plans to split it all into a basic and advanced section, but it would need an almost complete rewrite and as per #1, I'm not sure I want to do that. #4 If people can't use a ToC, shame on them. (Btw you can link into various parts of the guide using ToC links, like this will take you right to the part about warzones.)

And then the same people wonder why cheat reports aren't taken seriously. I hope some of the people got banned because of your reports and you feel good about it. How dare they glitch out!

I have spoken up about this issue a few times, as it's a borderline exploit of the lockout system. But the devs seem to stick to making last-boss-only runs count for conquest, so I guess this is the now official way to go. It's still stupid, if you ask me.

Absolutely not. Unless you also want the difficulty increased to warrant the gear requirement.

Could you please start using paragraphs? My eyes start bleeding whenever I try to read anything you post here.

Is there any particular reason to believe that reintroduced PvP gear would be cheap? (Especially since they explicitly said they want gear progression in PvP.)

This. We've even sent a video recording of the fight, got some canned junk as response. Please fix the achievement.

Next time.

Warriors, no matter how FotM they are, are too melee for me. I see their potential, but I just cannot make myself enjoy them. Also I know Snipers can be really powerful and everything, but I just can't get them to work.

Once I got oneshot by Enfeebling Strike, but it regularly hits for 90k+ damage. And don't get me started on the 100k Shoulder Cannons.

So they're making real tanks even worse. Lolz.
