A Ruling Sith Class would not be bad if: A: You don't have mad emporers like Palpatine. B: You don't have scheming Jedi. Caedas for President 2012!

Maul was not the only inspiration for the Assassin class. Probably a bigger inspiration for the class was Darth Bane's apprentice Darth Zannah, who did you stealth, force clock, a double light saber, lightning, and many of the talents like haunted dreams under the Madness tree in the books. She is the only sith to ever sneak into the Jedi Temple, that I knew of when I was heavy in to the extented universe.

Test it before you complain (I do feel sorry for you having to relearn, I do.) I am more concerned about my healers having to take more time in FP/OPS to heal themselves rather than the tank (or dps in those moments) than I am in PvP (These Changes only really affect Organized lvl 50 games as far as I am concered, something experienced players will figure out or work around). Which is crazy considering they are primaryly STH's and consist of 90% of the healing population (At this moment). This will not be so bad if the Jugg aggro/threat generation is fixed. Otherwise, what irks me is little rude, sorry comments from the snivering nerf-hearders who act and condemn as though its ******ic to troll in another class's forum. You little operatives/smugglers give me the giggles everytime I maul you in bum. Don't believe me. Come on over to Sedan Kyne.

My lvl 29 Sorceror pulls off 200k heals and crits for 3.5 usually in BG's if I have a tank batting the dps off of me. It's not easy, but it's about finding the right place to stand and having a team that cares about survivability.

I take them down w/ all my avatars, with my assassin quicker than others, but my Jugg outlast them w/ interrupts and stuns, while my Sorcerer is usually spec'd Madness and I have no CD compared to a Lightning Sorc, so they're easier that way.
