I'll actually be making a thread soon that states why Assassins would be BEYOND useful to include as a DPS in RATED matches. (Or the healing Operative that is brought along these days could fill the role but would not be near as effective.) Be on the lookout!

Assassins will not put up anywhere near the stats as other Advanced Classes. Unless you are the easy-mode tanky specs, those specs are about as easy as Smash specs when it comes to putting up damage. Assassins can affect the game in countless other ways that are impossible to explain via TEXT. It also has the highest skill cap out of all Advanced Classes. If you like to push buttons and put up big stats on the scoresheet like 95% of the players in this game, I suggest you roll a different Class or play the tank tree/tank hybrids w/ DPS gear.

I know right? I'm trying to stay professional. I don't want my threads to devolve into me vs. you thread. I'm trying to do something positive for this game. I could care less about people knowing who I am or anything of that nature. I don't want glory I want people to get better at this game so I'm not bored when I play it.

I just joined these forums 3 days ago, not sure how to put a perma-sig in my profile. And if you would read wrote I've written, you'd see that I'd be more than welcome to display what I know and do in warzones. I didn't mention anyone's video in particular, so I would not consider anything I've said to be 'snide'. Sounds like you have some videos of your own, how about you put them up big dog? Or are you afraid that I'll break them apart and label you as a typical DPS HERO? Please, I'm just dying for someone to prove they are something more than a DPS HERO.

Sure, there are a lot of videos out on the web of individuals who think they are God's gift to SWTOR and make videos with clips of them winning 1v1's and pushing buttons. I'm requesting sometime of an entire different nature. Savvy?

I don't know how many different ways I can say that the strategies I've mentioned are by no means ABSOLUTE rules that apply to each and every situation. You have to understand the logic and apply it where it is applicable. I wish I had video taping abilities so I could disprove the naysayers. Suppose I should do some research and find out how to record some matches and do some commentary. I apply the Golden Rules in Voidstar with ease. I suppose I should throw in a disclaimer to all my threads that states that you can't just join into a game and expect to deploy my strategies without putting any mental effort forth. I never said any of what I'm talking about is easy to, by any means whatsoever.

I'm not even sure how to respond to this? I don't quite understand. It is less of a challenge and more of a request to be honest. I'd like to breakdown some videos in order to convey messages, people will understand logic more if they have a visual aid instead of reading my blocks of text.

Bump.

Bump.

Lmao. Yes you do not want to use it in your DPS rotation. It allows you to exhaust your rage for fury when you have no one to attack. Thereby making your rage useful instead of letting it waste away. Oftentimes it is the difference between having 30 stacks and not.... I also use it frequently in Huttball. I carry the ball as a Marauder occasionally and I'll attack people as I progress up then map beside them and just spam that ability in order to gain Predation. Works like a charm, try it out.

Trolling harddddddd. lol.

Fair enough. If you want to send me some recording materials in the mail i'd be more than happy to stream my gameplay via twitch and youtube. There are interesting threads on this forum? I just started posting yesterday though.. At this point the only thing I can tell you is to wait until someone posts a video here. Watch the video simultaneously with my analyzed remarks next to it, and see if I point out things you're not aware of that you could implement in your gameplay. I'll be pointing things out by referencing the time at which it occurs, so I will be easy to correlate my remarks with what is occurring in the video.

There is an ability that you can use that is AOE that is NOT 'smash'... look at your abilities' page.

What are you, spokesperson for the simple-minded individuals?

I challenge you do say something constructive.

Haha, ok.

I certainly do not judge player's by the stats they put up but I need further information for analysis, what is the average amount of Protection you do? (And an additional average for Rated matches.)

THANK YOU I'm trying really hard to convey this message. Please read my threads and give feedback in the future.

Sorry I should be more transparent. It would be with DPS-gear. You would not want to be MAIN TANK. You will be an exceptionally good off-tank. If you are good, try stance dancing with the spec I mentioned. It is very effective because you can switch stances through just a GCD as a Juggernaut/Guardian. Switching stances is almost impossible for Assassins and it is more situational for PT's. Stance dancing requires high situational awareness. You have to be able to analyze the situation and determine whether the extra dps you'll get from staying DPS Stance is more important than switching to GUARD stance for teammates. Harder than you may think

I'd love to breakdown your videos. See if you can get them on here.

Well said.

In RATEDS, sure, you're going to want one full Jugg I agree with that. I would also bring along the spec that I mentioned with a player who is competent at stance dancing, versus bringing along a Jugg who is the same spec who does not stance dance. Then again, like I said, it requires an incredibly high skill cap to be GREAT at it. No surprise that I never see anyone doing it.

This thread will help me convey the strategies/logic that I am trying to convey to all SWTOR players. I challenge anyone who claims to be a high quality SWTOR PVP player to a request. High quality: You display high awareness in game, in most if not all situations. You communicate with teammates. You display how useful your utilities are, depending on what Class you play, in order to help your team win each game. It should be apparent that the only goal you have in mind is the WIN the game; in other words you could care less about any statistics you put on the scoreboard. You try to win games through intellect and awareness, and not through just pushing buttons. The challenge is that you record a PVP match, or multiple ones, and present them in this thread. You should present videos NOT with the intent of displaying that you are a DPS HERO, you should present them with the intent to prove you are a high quality player. I will personally breakdown and analysis each moment of the game in an attempt to help convey pertinent messages to the community. All breakdown and analysis will be constructive criticism for your benefit and for the benefit of all who watch. These videos could be of you pugging matches or playing RATEDS with your team. These videos would obviously need to be full-length games or at the very least, a 3~5 minute video. I am not looking for the videos that you see how there, that are edited to display 1v1's or anything of that nature. Also, please do not submit videos against sub-par teams/players. The other team should be competent; in other words it should be clear that you are punished for your mistakes or rewarded for making the right move. ___________________________________________ URLs to the videos submitted will be referenced here; at the beginning of the thread. Feedback will follow directly after the video that is referenced. Feedback can also be found from other individuals from the forum throughout this thread. If you giving feedback about a video, please give a direct reference to the particular video you are talking about. ___________________________________________

I only vote for healers who are capable of affecting the game in more ways than just healing.
