We'll have to wait and see; anyone can extravagantly hype **** up.

Seriously, they are the most pathetic AC right now. Anyone who plays in the 50 brackets would be flat out lying to say you don't breath a sigh of relief every time you see a big red target instead of a Sorc or BH. It's the saddest thing watching a Sniper try to PvP against competent people. (I have a Shadow, Op, and Sorc before anyone asks) Make cover better - I should have a problem wanting to engage them in cover. I don't.

Cause... it is an alt lol. That might change though, Sorc + Imp is win.

Dude just make your own Sage/Sorc and maybe they'll have a problem when 90% of the WZ's are made up of them. If not, then keep playing. It's already kind of looking like ligtning wars on my Sorc alt in hutball.

Lol, not my server. Yeah Imps can have Illum because we roll their faces in the 50's brax.

All legitimate reasons which is why leaving WZs should not be punished or you'll just end up with more AFKers who don't want to play the WZ through.

Sage? Underpowered? What

Dude, normal MMO players now days would faint at the very idea of UO (pre-AoS). "What?! You're saying armor and items can break?!! FUUUUU" "What?! I lose everything on me when I die?! **** THIS GAME I WORKED SO HARD BLABLA" "Wait... so there are actual penalties for dying?!" "No levels?! I'm not used to anything different..." BUT - if anyone with any sort of love or want for real MMORPGs stuck with and played UO long enough, guarantee they'd love it. The feeling of risk and reward, starting over with just the shirt on your back when you realize you wouldn't make it back to your corpse after frantically running around for that wandering healer, of immersion, to have desires other than maxing out, to play a game that made you WANT to roleplay, world PvP that actually worked (factions); I've never played an MMO that made me feel the same or even came CLOSE. *So sad* WHY'D YOU HAVE TO BRING UO UP, AHHHHHH!

8-14 Shadow, got 17 once, when the imp side had mostly SWs.

Not to mention people who exaggerate out of the bung-hole.

So you run with Shadow Tech while specced high into Kinetic without Particle Acceleration?...

Don't forget the high amount of server downtime to implement patches to fix previous patches. Also, the buggy buggy flashpoints.

Mobile turrets that can heal...

Nice, except: - I personally have nearly 2k endurance - How are you accounting for the additional time you'd be alive from the extra HP, the defensive PvP expertise bonus on it, and %-based healing like the WZ medpacs.

Any devs address this yet?

I prefer the 50's brax tbh. In the 1-49 brax on my alts, I find that a lot of players don't know what they're doing (more so than the 50 brax anyways), queue up at level 11 and spam their basic ranged attack, lack a lot of their abilities possibly causing one side to be imbalanced. Pair this with me always being purple/orange-geared, I feel like I'm just n00bstomping in the 1-49. Capping a turret, scoring, or planting a bomb in the 50's brax feels so much more rewarding. People die much slower in the 50's brax and are generally more organized, this means battles last longer and fights are more challenging. 1-49 is EZmode for me, so while I do enjoy stomping every now and again, I'd be lying to myself to say that's where the real pvp is and you'd be lying to yourself to think 1-49 is more balanced, unless "easy" is what carebears translate to "balance". I'm not familiar with their lingo. Do the dailies/weeklies, do some HMs to gear up instead of writing whine posts. You'll gear up fast enough. Save up 1k/1k + 1 champ bag before 50, you can get a few pieces right out of the gate. You can also run some FP's. Getting champ gear is easy; and BM is not much better than champ.

Dude, they're one step ahead of you and already nerfed hybrid builds for Sor- ...o wait.

http://www.torhead.com/ability/5KYgGOB/rapid-recovery Here's some background, Combat Technique already comes with a 50% chance to proc on any attack with a 4.5s internal COOLDOWN. It's not an ability that does little, it's an ability that does NOTHING.

Huttball carrier shouldn't be allowed to use any abilities!

The thing is, it was semi-useful when CT had the 1.5s cooldown, now that it's been upped to 4.5s, it literally is useless.

Yeah, I did. J/w'ing why this exists.

Using it to interrupt one of their abilities with a cast time or breaking their flow of battle by taking them out of cover? I know Hunker Down is an issue, but as Kin I find it easy enough to LoS them a bit and/or blow defensive CDs through it. Snipers don't necessarily live long, kill you fast, or have much mobility. I can kind of understand opening with SK on a BH or Jugg where the battle might last long enough for SK to run its CD (if we are speaking strictly uninterrupted 1v1s). What exactly is a Sniper to do against Mind Over Matter paired with Elusiveness. It's not a shot at you or anything, I really like your Shadow guide and all the info you've posted about Shadows, it's just odd to me that you would rate Snipers generally so high in difficulty.

What? Kinetic or Infil? Regardless, how can you generalize the difficulty of entire ACs without at least noting specs because the differences can be night and day. Inf/Bal opens with SK, Kinetics would be foolish to do so.

Thread failed. I have a Shadow and an Operative, no way in hell does a Shadow open with the same amount of damage as an Op's Hidden Strike + Acid Blade. And no decent Shadow opens with Shadow Strike.
