Hello, I am VR85 Jedi Shadow, which is your equal. You are probably running the noob Infil spec, not sure what your equal is called AKA dos spec. My suggestion, run the "Tank"speck with dos gear. Your survivability goes up. I run with only 750-900 expertise and of wonderful. Yes I am mostly WH with switched out mods. However I have been running the same spec since day 1. Its my only toon and I know her well. Change your spec, know that you aren't going to beat the top tier guys and deal with it.
no you are not the one dragging your team down. My opinion. Be better at defensive. Always choose to defend a node, let the people know you are defending and call out INCS -----1inc to west 2 inc 2 west. ect. Don't think you can take somebody 1v1 then get jumped by a stealthier now all you can do is yell capping and people hate you and you just lost the game.
