There is a clear problem on my end because i uses my knockbacks and the skill gets effected from where i land, but i get knockbacked by people from where they leap. Why?

all i have read from these forums about all the other mmos is that the gear disnt matter but skills(actual skills not a persons skill but the characters) and the longer you played the better they got, which is the same thing we have now in a different manor and you guys cry just because you dont like the system doesnt meen others dont and right now its their time, and im sure there where people who hated those games so please stop making post about how bad you are and you hate having to grind gear which is all an mmo is, grinding gear, what route you take is up to you a system where you can loot the corpse does not work in a pve game

Ilum needs to justs be a warzone because as it stands its horrible, favors 1 side and even watching taugrims stream where he takes a small group against many, he is so easy to take down if the group simply charges in.

please reread said post they have fixed it.

there are more daily areas then juys ilum, second to even get the dailies you get extra tokens so corst day from the daily portion of the quest you can get 16, add in the quest bonus and you can get a lot more and there are dailies for both mods and enhancements but just 1 of those per day so that will take like a week to get all your gear

if i take your post as true this means you are admitting to being on drugs because this so called veil does not exist, in fact in many cases pve gear is better for pvp then pvp gear because of the better stats. or your crazy but i would guess its drugs

These teams only get said level playing field in tournies on the ladder they farm gear like everyone else

Do you play one, because I just got mine to 50 and as much time As I spend on target I spend double getting in range so nuf said

I've read a book before I wanted to throw so badly but I managed to fight back the urge

I always vote healers tanks rarely since they get so many medals. My guardian can get 11, and I don't even use guard most of the time since I don't have a healer

Wrong, new people to this game are discouraged from doing anything because they can't directly join their friends without first gearig up(according to you). People can be carried through lower difficulty with friends or guilders and can be carried in pvp by those same people by getting wins. Anyone who says expertise deteres people from joining pvp please stop postin because your points are flawed and irrelevant. You clutter this forum with useless posts and bring nothing to the pvp discussion. Expertise is fine a fresh 50 cant do hard modes just like said person can't compete against top geared pvpers but you will eventually get the gear even by losing and they can use pve gear just like the pvers do to get started to help you do better. Once the next tier is out that will decide if pvp gear needs to be easier to get because everyone will be working on the next teir of gear that makes the old starting point to far behind. But if they don't add new pve gear that helps people skip a step then pvp hell week will always exist and everyone will have to go through it just to pve

Please delete your post because it assumes equal stats on pvp and pve gear and this is incorrect.

It has nothi to do with expertise, this is an unskilled players response blame the "pvp" stat for losing, this is simply a gear issue. They have better gear and you cant out play them and you lose. If they where in full pve gear the issue would still be there.

Your so funny and wrOng it hurts. Pvp has a pvp stat because PVE carebares don't want to have to pvp for pve, the reason pvp gear exist is so pve carebears don't wreck pvPers with their pve gear and I'm talking when there is no pvp gear and only pve gear. This means that pvp era might have T1 gear but against T3+ once they add more pve gear, the pvpers dot stand a chance.

Holy crap this is sad. First to answer your question because pvers would feel forced to pvp to get gear because pvp gear is time while pve gear is ability of 2+ people to do simple things. And let's face it people say wow is hard and in so many ways they are wrong, there are certain fights that are truly made hard but sooooo many are easy and people still fail. Second, PvP gear is top end pvp gear while pve gear is top end pve gear and top end pvp gear. Until someone proves that the bonus stats on the pve gear is less than expertise bonus im stickin to this since I only pvp.

Evonne saying they want pvp to be about skill, gear is not greater than skill and I proved this last night when I hit 50 on my marauder and went in to warzones and held my own just fine. Just because you get wtfpwned doesn't mean it's a gear issue. Second I enjoy getting new gear to hit for bigger numbers even if people's health goes up so it makes little difference. Playing people that have gear and are good as you means you will probably lose unless you get lucky. Think about this, when you first hit 50 in order to pve you have to farm gear from dailies and get crafted gear before you can run hard modes unless you have the skill to complete these without by pushing your character farther then others with less. Same is true for pvp. Quit whining that you can't step into warzones against 50s like some can because these same people can do hard modes as a fresh 50 bu you can't. Proof of this concept is looking at WOW and how some people struggled with heroics at the beginning of cata, so much so that they assumed them impossible while others breezed through them. Why because they can maxamize their dps, hps, tanking potential, and equal levels that require many lots of gear to reach.

ITS FINE. I jut hit 50 on my marauder last night and all the crying on the forms is simply from unskilled players. You are fighting on even skill and gear is the issue. Having gotten 2 pieces of pvp epics from my early pvp planning and a weapon with commendations I could die plenty in pvp. Sure when I got hit by a group I died fast but guess that's how it's supposed to work, 1v1 I beat or in most cases almost beat the better geared players until their help arrived. All the gear did was give the lesser skilled opponents a chance against me.

No I just hit 50 last night on my marauder and I played against geared opponents and while I could die to a group of them quickly SO Fing what it was a group, I took out so many of the geared guys solo. Could I do it constantly 1 after another no but ever min sure and in a as that's plenty of kills solo with a group I did fine. This proves skill > gear. And no I did not have a pocket healer. A skilled opponent might drop me fast but then it becomes skill is equal and is simply a gear issue and I can still put up a fight and take them out of killing my geared teammates.

If by good you mean well geared compared to undergeared this is true for many classes. And right now melee in general is underpowered because of the amount of controll all range have, if one range had a knockback and slow and another had a stun and slow and another had a root and slow fine but all range have knockback slow snare and stun.

Let me know when there are arenas and small scale fights actuall matter until the. 2v2 or 1v1 does not matter in the slightest. The point many people don't understand and clearly the OP is one of them, is an equal skilled ranged has a bye advantage over that marauder. Everyone mentions that melees have so many ways to interrupt but interrupts only effect 1 skill change this so that all your ranged skills of similar effect are unusable and you can remove, oh wait, range has as much controll as melee from range, so fix that as well and you can see a change.

Your post is to long. But I can tell you two things that make your argument invalid: 1) this is an MMO not an FPS so gear gettin better is a huge part of it. 2) everyone would have to fight with dedicated pvp gear and not te gear they earned meaning their character never progresses, see 1, and there is no way to customize stats for a spec. And if there was no pvp gear pve gear would take lead in pvp. There are so many reasons your argument can never work in a MMO.

OR, and you know this is already in game, you can go farm the dailies for lvl 50 mods and enhancements, use the commendations to get the hilts, armoring, and barrels, and guess what you can compete just fine, why because its NOT EXPERTISE but just gear.

I love how every newb thinks that expertise is the reason they cant beat someone. Expertise has NOTHING to do with why you lose, NOTHING. Let me repeat for you, EXPERTISE has NOTHING to do with why you lose. If you go up against a full champ geared player and lose because he hit you harder fine you lost to gear. You will die just as fast if said person was in full Columi(sp?) gear. Justs as fast and while you may hit harder he has more health. Clearly its not expertise, its gear, this is a modern MMO and gear progression happens.

I made some epic implants, and it was the only dps stat i was able to get, surge never poped up even though i doubled up on the other discoveries multiple times

According to my tool tips, alacrity effects the channel length of force choke, but not master strike. If the channel time for force choke goes down, does the stun also go down? Why does master strike not get effected by haste?
