Agreed, there are much better ways to give a bonus to energy in PvP: +1 energy regeneration (passive) +1 energy regeneration to Stim Boost reduced energy cost on Shiv/Hidden Strike/Acid Blade/Laceration/Corrosive Dart

In the big picture though it is pretty miniscule compared to what else could benefit from a bonus when looking at what other classes gain. There are so many other beneficial ways to giving a bonus to energy in PvP: +1 energy regeneration (passive) +1 energy regeneration to Stim Boost reduced energy cost on Shiv/Hidden Strike/Acid Blade/Laceration/Corrosive Dart

Evasion going from 3 seconds to 4 seconds is fantastic? That's a bit of an overstatement. Regardless I think we both agree there's plenty of room for improvement.

Could we please get some real thought in re-designing this set? How about something that actually has an impact on abilities used often in PvP? You could literally take away the bonus on this set and it would have no change to the effectiveness of the class in any PvP situation, that should be enough reason to change it. Any of these abilities listed below would benefit greatly in PvP: Hidden Strike Backstab Shiv Tactical Advantage Acid Blade Laceration Sever Tendon Stim Boost Shield Probe Cloaking Screen Sneak Distraction Adrenaline Probe Corrosive Dart Flash Bang And if you're going to give us some sort of energy set bonus, how about extra energy regeneration instead? PLEASE consider doing this before 1.2 comes out, it shouldn't be a difficult task to accomplish and deserves some attention.

They are equally awful, but yes I agree.

The special abilities with knife attacks are kinetic damage, both your gun and knife effect the damage of those abilities ( tech power ).

If you are stacking crit then make sure your second stat is surge, as they benefit from each other. You can get enough bonus damage from cunning so I personally avoid getting power if I can.

PvP expertise powerup + pvp expertise consumable + relic + biochem boost + non-50 enemies with no expertise = very big numbers. It's not the class, its stack-able consumables. I've seen worse in WoW, with less consumables and equal lvl in arena. Who remembers s6 2h frost DKs? I couldn't tell you how many times I've 2-shot people in a GCD, now that was hysterically broken.

First I would like to say good job to whoever figured out the Magenta Adegan Crystal mystery. So how about the White Adegan Crystal? I'm assuming there's a different way of obtaining each color?

Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't 273.15K be thought as the melting point of water? wiki 273.15K = 0C = 32F

I do think, I do position.. doing this faster then another person isn't button mashing. I don't have any issues playing with the current GCD, but I will always be against punishing people with faster reaction times and making quick choices that alter the outcome of a fight.

The animations should just not be linked to the ability. It's cool that I twirl my lightsaber in the air when I use Execute, but I honestly would be happier if the damage was instant.

The fact you think the GCD was 3 seconds shows you shouldn't be posting in this thread.

I'm not saying they are the same, nor am I trying to. I'm just pointing out at how much better the class plays when it has a low GCD. Personally I think every class should have a 0.5 GCD ( assuming they are balanced for it ).

My spec - ************/6wcyurc If there was one thing WoW got right from the beginning with the Rogue class was giving it that faster 0.5 GCD from other classes. Does anyone else notice the awful difference when trying to play as a deception assassin? On-top of the awful ability delay because of their animations, I find myself mashing a key for too long. Another weird issue I've seen, is you always unsheathe your saber when you activate Recklessness, so unless your saber is already unsheathed you will get a slight delay.

I got my darth title at lvl 47 on my assassin ( 2/31/8 is my spec linked here, http://************/6wcyurc ) BTW if you run into anything that mainly casts at you, try to find an object you can use for line-of-sight. Most of the time when I ducked from view while casting I wouldn't take any damage from 30 sec to a minute as the stupid NPC kept trying to chain cast on me. I use my healer companion, I kited with Force Slow when I needed to and he would eventually heal me to full while I poked with Shock and Discharge.

I'm assuming this effects other classes so I'll put this here, I don't know who thought it was a good idea to make instant abilities mirror their animations but its an awful design, especially for melee classes. I can't tell you how many times I'll be spamming my Maul or Execute on a player, and watch the animation delay before I actually do damage OR watch the ability reset because I'm spamming the key thinking it will make the delay shorter. It's already awful enough dealing with the very long GCD. Please make instant action abilities independent of their animations for all classes, I honestly believe this should be a huge priority for improving the flow of game-play. Right now things feel sluggish and unresponsive, quick reaction time is being horrendously butchered. And for the sake of my own personal opinion, GCD at 0.5 seconds would be an awesome improvement.
