I will have to take a look at the notes and thanks for the reply and not L2P posts.

So I logged on for the first time last night after a long break from SWTOR hoping to get some pvp in. Maybe I just completely suck now or why does it seem like everyone is playing a marauder or a PT? My first game had 4 marauders in it and they absolutely just wrecked everything within seconds. My second game had 3 and 2 PT's and the same thing happened again. So my question for the regular players is, "is class balance so far out of wack that everyone is just rolling op classes?"

Have you actaully played a trooper? Since when did the troopers aoe ever even come close to being as good as the BH? The whole reason it was really changed is because the troopers aoe was so broken it was almost never used. the damage radius is definetually a nerf and the damage output seems to be a little less but a huge improvement for troopers.

I completely agree the commando class feels broken right now. When attacking heavy armor targets i do like maybe 1k damage and 2-3k damage with my dem and hib at best. My mortar volley hits so low its terrible, about 300-700 damage a shot wich is just crap. I will deal with all the broken **** pre patch to get some dps back. I love assault spec and that spec feels completely like shooting wet noodles. I am waiting till this tuesday to see if they fix any thing and for the first time and only time I am quiting this game.

So far I have only played about 4 games and 1 was an assault spec. Assualt feels completely broken and weak for the record. Now say that I switched to gunnery and was surprised how easy it was to get huge crits on light armor targets. I dropped a 6.7k crit with only 3 grav rounds stacked. But when I target any heavy armor class I hit like a wet noodle and if any class focuses me I almost instantly die. I think they need to boost everyone's health or something because we now drop like flies.

Personally speaking from a pvp perspective. I will say assault spec is the way to go but saying gunnery is not as good is a lie. Gunnery has potential to be amazing in pvp but once a team targets you gunnery becomes worthless. Assault does plenty of damage and gives you a good chance to win almost any 1v1.

Not a bad build but the extra point in endurance really doesn't pay off very much. I like to run with a build close to this. it gives me more chances to crit, which is always nice and I like being able to spot stealth classes early incase you were wondering why I put 2 points in nightvision scope. http://torguild.net/calculator/trooper/commando/?p=00000000000000000000203011000000000000000303320221023232231

Assault spec is taking a small hit but a hit none the less. Our charged bolts deal less damage because of gunnery spec and we can't get hib to proc unless we have the cells effect active on the target making it less likely to happen. As it stands now our cell has a 16% chance to proc. Grav round is not the only spec for pve. It may be better end game for pve but the spec is getting changed because of pvp so why not boost assault spec our pvp spec and maybe more ppl will use it. Less gunnery in pvp = less complaining about grav round and maybe no more nerfs.

I really don't think you understand what I am saying at all. I really hope they just trash grav round completely. It is super op and boring. Maybe add something to assault spec that actually applies to commando's instead of vangaurds would help this problem but who knows. If a dev is looking at this post pls nuke grav/tracer missle into the ground and not nerf CM because of pvp. Nerfing CM ruins the spec and class for raids/flashpoints almost completely.

Is it just me or does it seem like the commando class is getting completely destroyed because of lousy design and poor mechanics. I mean our healing is getting a huge nerf and our assault spec is getting nerfed also. My question is why not nerf the **** out of gunnery so ppl don't use it and others don't complain about grav round and maybe boost our assault spec so other commando's are willing to try it out?
