Hahaha I enjoy these broad statements as much as the one I made. What do you know about my playstyle? That and I do push more then one button.... I mash at least 5 or 6 all at one time. Is that wrong?

True, that's my bad should have said sorc / consular but that just doesn't roll off the tongue the same.

Those are nice thanks for sharing (not sure about OP but damn cool numbers)

Do you play the game? Its called defending a node that noone attacks... but hey insulting first always works best.

Where did I say anything other then sorc / sages?!?!!?!? Yes there are sins, yes there are inqs, yes 1 is healing. Hell Bos-dehunter is a BA Ops healer. I'm posting these cause: 1) I know I'm not pro-pvp but I love it and play all the time 2) I see thread after thread of "the sky is falling" 3) I think 1.2 is good, not the end all be all but definitely a new spin on the pvp http://i.imgur.com/jCoLF.jpg

Very nice! Here is a win this time... funniest part is and yet we lost the "achievement" race http://i.imgur.com/snaNJ.jpg

Really, what language do you speak / read? Where did my title say healing nerf? http://i.imgur.com/ysZpG.jpg

Yeah our performance was less then stellar..... very noobish.

Nope Inqs and Assassins. Also, I like 1.2 not complaining about it... more pointing out after the past 17 games I've played "sorc/sages suck" just isn't true. They do mighty fine. As for the losing nerf to coms / valor /creds.... meh. I don't like it, seems a bit harsh but I'm still willing to see how it plays out long term. Yes it does discourage me on a losing streak.... but I loves pvp so I usually just get back on the horse.

NOT http://i.imgur.com/y39Ja.jpg

Same, load times seem 50% longer... even to wzs.

Yeah that seems wonky. I'm all for winners getting more something (money, valor) but nothing to the losing team that tried. Yeah not so cool.

Totally agree. 1.2 seems pretty good. Not perfect but pretty good.

Gunnery commando... so arsenal mirror. I do just fine in wzs. I die faster but I also kill faster. I rank all over the place on the scoreboard depending less on my oerformance and more on hiw often I get focused (and running back from spawn). I've played about 13-15 wzs. Demo round is supa bursty now.

I'm an employed pheasant can I still play?

Good patch.... now lets get the build fixed and back to playing. I want more 1.2 fun-ness!

I'm a hardcore pvper and I disagree. I don't feel owned at all by this patch and have so far loved 1.2

Lovin' it. Sure not happy atm with servers down due to mis-patch, but stuff happens. As for the 1.2 changes really really really liking them so far.

Transport to black hole on corellia is gone as well.

Hahaha close.... I do use Charged Bolt when GR is interrupted / locked

Thank you for a well thought out post (made tl;dr version for ya) and I whole-heartedly agree. 1.2 is very new and there are things to still discover. As always it won't be the end all be all patch, there will be more to come. But it is nice to have a change and I think it strikes a balance between strategies and tactics FAR better then 1.1.5 and prior ever did. I like that both situational awareness AND startegies (group composition, team location, fighting location, etc) both matter now.

Take what you described replace 1.2 with 1.1.5 and Heal with DPS. That is how the game used to be.... DPS couldn't DPS. I'm a gunnery commando, I don't suck, I would use every cool-down, every stun, positioning (to try and stop them from LoS me).... and I couldn't do anything using everything I had. I actually spot heal as well (gotta love a dps class that can spot heal). I don't think you are a bad player. I am also adjusting to the new pace and style of the game. I am finding that I HAVE to think / react faster and that I have to change my rotation and clickies because it plays so differently now. I have been killed in a stun rotation 1v1 (I had 2 GCDs, was a good op and its not like I didn't do anything). I have also seen healers heal, even though it is clearly hard for them.

10 games in so I only have my less then informed opinion. I play 900 exp gunnery commando. I like 1.2 pvp so far. Much more zergy / fast paced. People pay for their mistakes now......including healers. For the first time in months I feel like dps... i spend all my ammo and someone likely dies (unless they pop cooldowns or are extremely tanky). Healers seem to have to work to heal (and there were still 2 REALLY good healers I couldn't kill) now, compared to the easier 1.1.5 times. And I also get wrecked hard / die fast. I have to use my scan to prepare for stealthers (love that sitting and guarding is more exciting since I can die FAST to an op/sin). I'm not certain the patch is perfect.... but it feels much better then before. Oh. Net result of the games, i'm doing considerably less damage as I go squish sooooo much faster. But I am also netting a higher medal position cause I actually do objectives, dps, and...... spot heal in combat. PVP was fun... its more fun now.

B Cross server queues are a must. Queue times of 2+ hrs is common on my server. Wzs pop 5pm to Midnight with many times only 1 queue running so you can easily wait 15 minutes between wzs. For a pvper..... well that is discouraging and many times has me just logout / quit for the evening.
