Oh also like to add that if you dps someone and you are still in combat, you regen a total of 5 energy per second.
5. PER. SECOND.
So basically unless you can get ouf of combat by some miracle(as you remain in combat for random times regardless of actions taken or not taken).
You just run around goin "yipee i get max 30+ energy while sorcs get double their original!" while every other class rolls you over since you can't initiate a skill.
-
You want to know the REAL reason?
Its because snipers animations are bugged to hell. Snipe, the #1 skill they have to use, is bugged so bad that it bugs literally every 3rd shot. And you have to use it a lot as it is your only spammable skill till later when you can combo followthrough. Even then its still your most used skill.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Here are the other reasons:
1. They only have 1 viable tree for pvp AND pve(marks).
2. Their dps isn't top burst, and their energy runs out FAST(regens incredibly slow).
3. They are squishy in comparison to everything cept maurauder.
4. Cover is still bugged.
5. For utility or damage, sorc/merc is better.
6. They have horrible pvp armor.
7. Who wants to play a dps only class that has less dpds, utility, and survivability?

Topic.
-
bioware goes on record saying this is fine.
-
Not everyone wants to grind to 50.
Remember this. Because thats why pvp fails now.
-
Patience, friend. Tuesday they get their own little bracket.
yeah 3 weeks ago i said the same.
-
Sorc with the 200 force(NEVER RUN OUT AHAHAHAH)>
Or operative with the 3 5k burst.
-
Global agenda and GW1/2
Im sorry good pvp what?
-
Comparing releases in 2012 to a game released in 2004.
People DO know this is stupid right?
-
pvp in this game is balanced as heck and the game has been out for a month.
*insert trollface*
Anyway, if i had to pay for this games pvp without the original 60 dollar pricetag i'd give it a:
$10. Its worth some steam buy, but not monthly only one time.
-
sorc/sage & assassin/shadow yes... merc/mando lol get real. the only way a merc/mando should ever kill you is if you stand there like an idiot and don't los.
As for the OP... if you think this is an unfinished game thats your fault for spacebaring your way to 50. Most of the playerbase isn't at endgame yet and BW is still releasing an endgame update for all you crying powergamers. There's plenty to do in this game and most of it isn't pvp. If all you bought this game for was to pvpwn some n00bs with your 1337 double glowsitck/<insert primary weapon here>. Then you should have waited 6-12 months before buying this game. No mmo's pvp is perfect and NONE of them have even been close at launch.
I'm not saying the content at 50 alone isn't finished. I'm talking about in general, the game isn't finished.
Sure no release has perfect pvp. Sure.
But i'd at least think the pvp system was thought out beforehand.
Currently, as is or even on the release. The pvp is horribly designed. its as if they just slapsticked it together, which after 5 years of dev i'd think wouldn't be the issue but it was apperantly.
----------------------------------------------
Still the question is, should i pay $15 for content that should have already been implemented and is seemingly only delayed due to the marketing strategy to get paid subs?
Should i really give my money to this company? Its a ploy that not many people will understand it seems.
They delayed this patch so they could get your money.

In Vanilla, WoW also gave PvP gear a ton of stamina to make up for the smaller damage stats that it gave, which could be a pretty good idea for SWTOR. I agree that expertise just makes the game feel sort of dull and grindy.
You really shouldn't compare to wow's pvp since its structure is so much more solid all around that it can't be compared.
But resilience as it is now, is dmg reduction.
Expertise is dmg reduction, dmg increase, and healing increased.
Its literally 2x as bad as wow's resilience.
-
If I was basing my decision on PvP alone, no. PvP is pretty bad. However, the vast majority aren't using PvP as a major factor in their decision - me thinks.
I'm just thinking endgame. Since all thats left is raiding or pvp. And raiding is about as exciting as the heroic instances lol.
-
Yay, let's make healers worse.
Because obviously they need to be completely useless otherwise dps can't just sprint into a group press a few keys and kill everyone instantly...
Its not the healers really(although i venture they will be 10x worse than wow when they do get nerfed because of the lack of solid mana)
its the dps with no limit to spammable attacks.
-
Yeah why not?
I've enjoyed the game thus far and there gonna add patches and updates to fix issues/add to PvP.
It's launch issues are expected and I'm sure they'll be resolved.
Ok let me ask you this.
So far, the biggest issues in pve and pvp have not been resolved, instead only minor issues have.
What makes you think that they will be?
or better yet:
Why pay, when you can just wait till they fix them?
-
Let me make this
CLEAR
You can raid in pvp gear because the stats are that close.
So anyone saying raid gear would ruin pvp is either a hypocrite or a liar.
-
Sometimes it seems like a lot of people playing this game have no inkling that there were other MMOs besides WoW. So if WoW had it, they expect every other game they play to have it.
Finally got a win tonight, but it didn't update my PvP daily. Thanks Bioware.
Its funny how white knights side with the company on super obvious ways to get the player base to grind their time away on meaningless chores isn't it?
Whew, didn't update? that sucks.
-
This is what happens when you give a class energy instead of mana.
-
healing is useful?
When a single dps can outdo a single healer, no. its not.
Sorry healers can't defend themselves vs. ONE person. Much less outheal another dps.
-
Lets talk about $$$
-------------------------------------------------------
Here is what you all know. Bioware released an unfinished game, and gave you a free month.
So now its come time to actually pay for that new subscription.
Based on bioware's handling of pvp so far, do you think its worth the $15?.
-
What came first...the skill or the gear?
People PvP for a reward....this reward is gear...this gear makes you better at PvP through being stronger than your opponent...this allows you to get more rewards...which makes you better at PvP through gear....
This will never change.
Competition for competitions sake with no reward would never succeed in a MMO.
I'm sorry, guild wars and in a few months GW2 just called.
They said competitve pvp>gear pvp every day of the mf week.
-
when white-knights are all thats left defending this game, it has lost any chance on being a good game.
-
when warzones on my server are 3/4 50's i highly doubt it.
Not like waitin 5min is gonna kill you, sheesh.

Elitist always do this, then a few months down the road they are the "forever alone guy", because the population will dwindle from start, not grow.
My prediction/??? Game will be free within a year and the elitist will be crying how they had to pay for it b4.
Sorcerer/Sage AOE knockback with 4 secs root only on 20secs cooldown.
in PvP
Posted
snipers got this ever 30 seconds.
Honestly the root is a bit much. I mean cmon, knockback(which is extremely op for range classes) + a root? Its a little unfair for melee.
