So you do not have a problem at all being pigeon holed into 1 spec because the other trees are not viable in comparison. Other classes have multiple specs for PvP that work well. You pay money each month for game improvements and with the upcoming holy grail patch your class is overlooked and you are limited to a darkness spec to be competitive in PvP. If you do not have a problem with being darkness than this thread is pointless for you to read.

The biggest concern is that Bioware has not taken the time to look at your class for this major upcoming patch to give you other viable options for PvP. This thread was not meant to be a QQ assassins are OP running deep Darkness. Other classes have multiple specs that do well in PvP and it seems to me assassins are pigeon holed into a deep darkness spec to be of use to their team. I understand that everything in the tree is working as intended, but I would assume assassins would be looking for changes to their other trees in this upcoming patch even if it meant it made them stronger.

How it can be justified that sitting in a tank stance and putting up 500k damage is acceptable is beyond me. Why defend a damage spec based around a tank stance that gives great survivability and damage output and not be concerned that none of your other trees are being changed. I am surprised assassins do not feel upset about the lack of changes being done to their class in this upcoming major patch.

The issue is a player in a tank stance with DPS gear achieving a higher or on par damage output with non tank stance players in DPS gear. There should be a sacrifice. Greater survivabilty - less damage. Less survivability - more damage. When it gets to the point when a player can have tank survivabilty and dps output on par with other damage dealers is when something is not right.

is that with ion gas cylinder or just using taunts

How people can justify a player in a tank stance doing 500k to 600k damage in a warzone is beyond me. A tank stance should allow for the player to live longer to support his team with taunt and guard. I do not feel there is another tank class in the game currently that can run tank stance with dps mods and enhancements and duplicate the damage output of an assassin currently.

he runs Rakata chest, and the rest is BM

So with all the classes getting changed in 1.2, how is it that assassins running 27 darkness, 14 madness are doing these kind of numbers http://i.imgur.com/MG0zO.jpg ? I find it hard to believe with the changes being made to the classes, assassins going deep into their tank tree should have that kind of damage output, or maybe I am missing something. That was a voidstar and the numbers are comparable in huttball http://i.imgur.com/2uh8J.jpg http://i.imgur.com/nj0Q8.jpg The biggest concern is that Bioware has not taken the time to look at your class for this major upcoming patch to give you other viable options for PvP.

I would go with TOR

Correction the time is 8:00 PM EST my apologies. To answer your qustion, we are the Death and Taxes you speak of. Not everyone dusted off their mouse pads and headsets to come back to the mmo scene, but we have managed to fill in gaps in our roster with some quality players that joined us at Launch and after. We run 2 8man raid groups that clear Nightmare Mode and outside of a few bugs in some of the encounters the guild has enjoyed the raids thus far. Its no Hammerknell.

Hey everyone, Death and Taxes of Port Nowhere will be streaming our raid tonight at 8:30pm EST. The raid will be the speed run of Karagga's Palace and Eternity Vault on Nightmare Mode. If you are interested checking out how the raid content at 50 is, or are just bored with nothing to do tonight, come check us out. We look forward to seeing you there. Thank you for your time.

Buddy I never spawn camped. Like i said in a previous post the republic actually stayed tabbd in long enough to keep us out of their base. Maybe the republic guilds on our server are just better than on other servers who knows. I do know they were getting valor holding us off and letting their cannons kill us. Wait I cant defend and alt- tab? ****. They are in our base. I guess ill stay alt tabd. People like you shouldnt be playing mmos.

Some of us actually pvpd in Ilum today and didnt spawn camp the republic. In fact, the republic on our server grew a pair of nuts and defended their base and were creative enough to attack us from behind when we were at their doors. This could be because they were not tabbed out crying all over their keyboards. We are doing exactly what the devs wanted us to do. Their servers cant handle the amount of people in one spot but the game is still relatively new. If half of you clowns spent less time writing emo live journal posts and actually coordinated something this would not be so bad. All of the republic are reading forums rather than figuring out how to regain control. None of you are ever satisfied, this generation of MMO players wants everything spoon fed to them. Go download an old mmo and you will understand what I am talking about. There was no dailies for gear or any of that crap, you fought for named spawns that were on 6+ hour spawn timers, dont tell me you have it bad.
