I appreciate that this quest is a free masterwork data crystal on all of my characters, as it is incredibly easy to achieve. As a pvp focused player however, it is infuriating as there is absolutely no penalty for someone acquiring the 8 medals in a wz and then proceeding to exit the WZ . This is why I believe this quest should be changed. Yes it increases the quantity of people in warzones (albeit temporarily) but it dramatically lowers the quality of said WZ. I'm not talking about 1 or two people leaving, I mean quite a few people getting their medals and dropping the WZ. After all why wouldnt everyone try to get the free masterwork data crystal on every character they can? Is it possible to change this quest to : Earn 8 medals and complete a warzone ? or perhaps they can get rid of this quest completely and just reward the Masterwork data crystal with the pvp weekly (currently a pathetic reward). Or perhaps they could just change this weekly quest to be earn 8 medals or win 3 GSF matches OR complete and operation in story mode that way you dont have people that hate GSF polluting it and medal farmers in pvp? Just my 2 cents.

Yeah I guess having 4 of the most ridiculous burst class on your team with a healer can beat 3 crappy sorc healers and a tank... Are you kidding? 4 carbonize on one team can shut down the enemy team for 14 seconds out of 45 with little coordination lol. Not to mention AP PT has an incredibly easy time staying within range of the their target. So what about the teams that don't have 4 AP PT (or w.e. the vanguard equivilant is called) ? What if the enemy team had just one of those vanguard and you had the tank or a crappy dps? How is this screenshot proof that healing isn't out of hand in PvP? Since we can clearly see that you have 2.5mil damage at 3.1k dps, and those sorcs have around 2.5mil healing meaning they had about 3k HPS which, is terrible considering some sorc healers are talking about upwards of 7k hps. You can't use the argument that "the damage wasn't there for them to heal" because it was if people were dying. Those healers either SuCk or they were stunned to death by 4 AP PT lol (well ok the vanguard equivalent) . Matchmaking needs to happen, but since that would only slow down Que pops, and it already sucks balls in reg 4v4 I have little fait.

In wzs I get top damage a fair amount. My goal is playing the objective... winning is obviously the most important thing. Burning down key targets is how I help the team win. But recently with the massive influx of sorc healers and spank tanks, I just feel like useless filler. The fact that PvP sucks balls right now combined with the fact that I have 23k wz coms saved up with all of my characters geared means I couldn't care less if we win our lose though. Open world PvP (namely the gree event), it's all about challenging fights. I run around with either my deception sin or my jug and attack anyone I see , I like to attack groups(3-4 players) by myself . usually I get a kill or two before dying sometimes I kill the group and it's so satisfying lol. I love the rage when I kill a group of pvers. However this planetary bolster works the damage output is disproportionate to health pools... I crit someone for 12.5k as rage jug with 5 stacks of pooled hatred. (55% of their hp) lol.

oh my lord, that is hilarious 21 solo kills. most i think i've ever seen is 5... but than again i don't play low pvp. nice job.

I'd pay just to have LESS sorcs in a warzone. hell 3 max would be plenty. Or pay to have sorcs nerf. Maybe I should just make a kickstarter campaign... When your the only one that's not a sorc in a 4v4 you know you've messed up...

I actually had this discussion with my guild yesterday . what's the point of playing a dps anymore? I did 3.4mil damage on my hatred sin, which was less than one of the 3 healers did in healing on the enemy team. I had 11 kills doing around 3k dps lol. We had 1 sorc healer that did like 3.2 million heals on our team. After that I went on my jugg with high end dps gear , immortal spec and with guard swapping did 1mil damage 1mil protection and we stomped the enemy team. Tanking and healing is just more effective now. But that doesn't mean its fun, its a garbage meta , that is not exciting.

Yeah same. Am I going to parry the low slash or not? Is this ambush going to do 20k or miss me? Not a good cool down.

Is this a video of a guy rolling his face against a keyboard?

It's a joke, like this game. Clearly broken. They'll never fix it. That is insane though... 10m pull with no resolve that works on HO, on a short CD ...

Looks like a L2P issue.

I like this guide, I just don't know how people could possibly enjoy ranked in this game. I remember trying ranked when it first came out, and it was either you had an AP PT in tank stance guarding an ops healer or you lost . This game has terrible balance issues, and even if you are the highest rated whatever class that's OP, who cares? Your only competing against the people on your server. Are there more frequent Que pops for Yolo ranked than regs?

BB is not the problem, delayed burst is a beautiful thing, the class just has sub par burst as is.

This is funny, I started playing my jugg again after I tried sorc. i hate playing sorc, its not fun for me. I love the glass cannon playstyle of rage, but im really confused, are you saying the move smash is hitting really hard for you? i usually use the auto-crit for rage burst, usually like 15k with pooled hatred FS can crit up to 30k for sure. Am i doing it wrong ? i usually wind up mid to top of the damage charts but i dont care about that, it can actually kill someone in the fray which is what i care about.

I agree, I fell through the map after a leap in civil war on the snow node yesterday... After falling for 15 sec I died and we lost the node before I could get back. I almost logged off in frustration right there and then. In beta? Sure, I could see it. But nearly 5 years after release? Hahaha.

I know what you mean with the damage, I've been playing deception sin for like 3 years... Concealment has no where near the burst, and it's hardly guaranteed. However, this class doesn't seem to be "in your face kill you instantly" class... It has extremely powerful tools , to help you outlast pretty much anyone, while doing pretty good burst. The ability to HoT up and roll is amazing for example. It enables you to burst with acid blade up, than **** while your healing up taking reduced damage, and even offhealing team mates. I think its still a very fun class to play, you just have to think of it as more of a survivalist than a destroyer lol. Its powerful! That's my 2c
