Bro, you can just dodge it!?

Just dodge it.. what's the problem?

Just avoid the stun. You should move whenever the bubble is about to break... simple really..

Always, under any circumstance, focus the sorc.. Everyone knows that.. Why bubblestun sorcs? You can just avoid the bubble stun.. When you see it, move!

Lightning/madness hybrid. They typically get these sort of numbers in extremely lengthy ranked games, where they are basically left to free cast the entire time. But 350k average damage is low even as pure madness.

This is where I stopped reading.

Why is this not as true for sorcs? I don't get it.

And you have a little one which is why you oppose it.

People apparently have a hard time understanding that the ability to take away 60-70% of the targets life in some sort of 'special combo', every 1.5 minutes, is not overpowered when you basically do nothing else, and when your 'special combo' can be healed through in competitive play. This is just the narrow mindset that makes balancing so difficult in MMO's. People don't want to nerf what's actually OP, they demand nerfs for things that they find annoying. In other words, they ignore objective facts. The fact is this: deception sins (which is their inferior pvp specc) severely outperform conceal ops. They have much higher consistent dmg, the burst is comparable, and their survivability is much better.

10/10.... a monumental achievement

1. arena's 2. cross-server pvp 3. rage nerf

I'm more impressed with the Operative that did 550k. Still, 1 mill is no joke, even for a marauder.

And how do you know this? What data are you drawing from to reach this conclusion? Your entire argument rests on the assumption that the demand function is highly elastic, but you have failed to actually substantiate this assertion in way whatsoever. It sounds like you were, for whatever reason, suddenly compelled to show off your newly discovered knowledge of basic microeconomics. Also, a 'luxury good' is a good for which the demand rises as income rises. It has nothing to do with demand elasticity.

The point of my OP was that you (or anyone else for that matter) are not forced to support BW's business model. If you feel strongly about it, and believe that the expansion (or 'content update') isn't worth $10, then you are free to continue playing the game as is (vanilla content). Or, if that doesn't sound appealing to you, you're free to play another game and cut all ties to BW altogether. The choice, again, is yours. Everyone keeps talking about some great principle, but it just sounds like group of whiny consumers who feel that they're entitled to the goods/services produced by BW and disregard the fact that BW must turn profits to persist. People on this forum make it sound like BW is forcing them to play the expansion against their wills, and is charging to do so. This simply isn't the case. Prove it. Where is it written that you have this privilege? What great authority has bestowed such a privilege upon you? When and where did the BW shareholders/execs sign a contract stating any of this? What the hell does 'fair treatment' and 'fair pricing" even mean? What the Fu*k are you even talking about!?

Everyone's a shareholder these days.

I never said it was the price that people objected to (though that is the case for many). The point is that you are not entitled to anything, especially the goods produced by bioware. I don't know why people don't get this. So again: if you want it, buy it. If not, don't.

Your cartoon is idiotic and doesn't actually portray the message you were intending to portray. It depicts smash as an incredibly over-powered ability that destroys multiple targets (which is what it actually does). Sure, the victims could run away every time a smash monkey comes anywhere near them, hoping that that smash monkey misses his key ability (in which case, he will only destroy 1-2 targets). But the fact that people have to run for their lives every time a smash monkey even approaches them is OP in itself. Yeah, the same way that Ted Bundy was a bit disturbed.

Don't pay $10 for the expansion.... If, on the other hand, you want to play the expansion, and feel that it's worth the $10, then spend the extra $10.

No bro, an OP once killed him in a WZ when his cds were down, which proves that ops are perfectly fine!

It's called smash But I would like to see a blink ability for sorcs, and some sort of disengage ability of mercs (good way to incorporate the iconic BH jet boosters).

Obvious marauder is just so unbelievably obvious.

----------------------No.

Yes. They quite frequently and blatantly suicide in an attempt to kill me. It's completely insane. I guess they just want that big smash crit. The funny thing, though, is that I'm rarely focused when I play healer.

I deeply agree with the OP.
