Yes, you should be thinking this every time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FILqgRj83UY

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-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. Do the dailies/weeklies, do some HMs to gear up instead of writing long extravagant whine posts. You'll gear up fast enough. You should've saved up 1k/1k + 1 champ bag before 50, you could've had a few pieces right out of the gate. Getting to Valor 60 is a grind, getting champ gear is not - it's really easy; and BM is not much better than champ.

We got a comedian in the house

You're opening with what on a Shadow to do 5k-8k crits? Nothing really matches Hidden Strike except a 5 procced FB which you build up to, not open with. I don't know where you get your information as you obviously don't have both classes, and much like the majority of the forum pull numbers out of your ***. The duration to the Ops knockdown time also reduced resolve build-up so you can chain Debilitate, but you wouldn't know that. Is it on Voss that you're rocking the 400+ expertise geared people on your supposed level 50 Shadow? My understanding was that there are level 45's that roam around there. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=2512238#post2512238

I pull Sith, Sith die.

Are you pulling 15% out of your ***?

Took you 'til 575 expertise to realize deep Inf specs put out relatively garbage DPS? Switch specs and you'll be a lot happier. If you want to be burst DPS and kill **** fast Concealment/Scrapper is always going to make Infiltration look silly. Don't get me wrong, I'm at 650 exp on my Shadow and I love it (non-Inf spec'd), but I got my Operative to 40 and killing things is amazingly glorious (especially since I just got Acid Blade), the "nerf" to the knockdown duration actually helps IMO since you can follow Hidden up with Debilitate. However, I miss many things my Shadow has that an Op does not like Force Speed, Combat Tech, a 30m stun, Mass/Mind Control, Guard, *Resillience*; overall, I have to say I still prefer Shadow, the deep Inf tree is just weak in comparison to the others.

Looking like the imps are the carebears, bunch of kids that wanted to be cool, but ended up picking EZmode. On our server, Repub tends to roll Imp.

Working as intended, this is an advantage of DoTs.

You obviously have no clue

Operative needs to be a hybrid for "Distance", they have some ranged stuff they simply don't use and heals as well.

And for every 1% more that the imperial has over Repub currently online, that's 1% more +exp/valor bonus. What's that you say, Imps outnumber repub by 300%?! 300% exp/valor bonus for Repubs!

Because the kin/inf spec was too godly - apparently.

It is an overall nerf to customization and playstyle, so now instead of having a lot of viable specs you'll have less than you can count on your hand.

You should also mention that the 27/14/0 hybrid spec that is also killed now that Circling Shadows will require Shadow Technique. Out of all the changes BW should be doing, they decide to nerf the living daylights out of hybrid builds on a class that didn't need nerfing to begin with. Really out of the blue and very disappointing.

Unnecessary and out of the blue, really questioning BW's methods.

Dmb change made out of the blue.

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.

People die much slower in the 50's brax and are generally more organized. I think that's a good thing. Personally, 1-49 is EZmode for me, so yeah I do enjoy stomping every now and again, but I'd be lying to myself to say that's where the real pvp is. Do the dailies/weeklies, do some HMs to gear up instead of writing long extravagant whine posts. You'll gear up fast enough. You should've saved up 1k/1k + 1 champ bag before 50, you could've had a few pieces right out of the gate.

OP is a kiddie whose mad he has trouble against any sort of teamwork.

Republic, I don't have a problem doing my dailies/weeklies.

So you were able to single-handedly lose 20 straight games for the Republic?! Nice!

This is correct, don't forget your stims, relics, and adrenals.

Started doing it on my Operative alt once I got her to 36 =]
