No, Grapple is not any kind of attack. It has no type at all. Yes, resilience stops it, but Force Shroud will not, as Grapple is neither a Force nor Tech attack.
Why does the listed 23/1/17 spec take some shield talents, but not all shield talents in the way?
If you're not equipping a shield, there are dps talents that can be taken instead. If you are equipping a shield, why not use the Shield talents?
Declaring it a loss is poor form. Telling your team they screwed up is not.
I've been on enough teams that totally blow it on the first door in Voidstar (like 6 guys defending against 5 and allowing a plant while all 6 defenders are alive) and then recover for a full stop on the second door. They need to be reminded to pay attention.
There is no cooldown on Hot Pursuit. The tooltip says there is one, but there isn't.
I'm not sure if that would make it worth taking or not; I'm not arguing either direction.
Why would anyone assume Guild Wars 2 would be better than Guild Wars 1? Guild Wars 1 had the worst pvp of any MMO. Why would I quit a game to play something I know will be worse?
It doesn't really matter where a Sorcerer's talents are except that they are in the pvp-Sorcerer talents. Sorcerers are bad at both damage and healing in pvp. They are good at Sorcerer things (mostly CC). Being specced more into healing or damage isn't going to make them do those things better.
If 6 people in Recruit gear (any classes), can't put down 2 people in War Hero gear (let's say "the best classes" whatever you think those are), the problem lies in the people controlling the 6, not in any gear any of those involved are wearing.
None of that will work against anyone competent. It takes 8 seconds to cap a turret or plant a bomb. Sap and Whirlwind type things last 8 seconds. There will always be a point in time when they come out of the control and you are still channeling, even if you started immediately after using your CC.
Only Mercenaries don't have a completely instant interrupt to stop you, and Rapid Shots will still get the job done.
