Your team can mark their healers just as yours can mark theirs, the difference between not being able to mark in PvP in WoW and marking in this is there is no arena, and sometimes it`s hard to find people in a large group of 8 players, not as easy as finding a healer in 3 players. regardless it`s easy to find who is healing and who isn`t in the first place, since anyone that heals their spell is green, or they glow green if they`re an OP (operatives being the hardest to pick out because they don`t hard cast much).

You know the reason I switched from Empire to Republic? Hutball. So why play republic when the empire has TONS of more players, meaning more people to group up and queue with. guild with, do ops with? You can PvP against eachother now, and all of the classes are mirrors, so there is literally no reason to play a side no one barely played in the first place, that`s why, because there`s no reason to.

Force Scream needs to act EXACTLY like our execute does, it`s incredibly stupid that it doesn`t. You know when you hit to execute, and your spell INSTANTLY releases and goes at them? why doesn`t force scream do that? I don`t need my hands to come to my mouth and animate it out, it already has a project delay from me to the target. I have literally hit force scream, had it not go off, and then have the GCD act as if it went off.

IMO I think they should`ve made our DoTs unable to be cleansed, I mean why create a spec that revolves around burns, and then allow the biggest part of their damage to be cleansed? it`s never made any sense to me, just like before they allowed crippling throws healing debuff to be.

If you were full BM, it would be impossible, even with every CD popped by a combat sent, to one shot you with ravage/master strike, with every cd, and it critting 3 times, you`re looking at, if you`re lucky... maybe 7-8k. In this time you can be stunned, and knocked back by you or anyone else. Other classes can do similar burst. Yes they were. I don`t see how you can prove that They are a pure, single target melee dps that does one thing and one thing well: DAMGE. Their defensive cooldowns help because without them, THEY WOULD DIE INSTANTLY without a LOT of heals. Most people whine about their Guarded by the Force, in which case, stun them, cc them, until it`s over. jedi shadow tanks, guardian tanks, in tank spec with tank gear and their cds, have much more survivability. Shadow tanks sustain and damage can kill most any class.

it`s a good thing you have a lot of details to your argument and have an idea of what you`re saying, or maybe you just got killed by a marauder in a game and felt the need to complain. Nothing can crit in this game for 10k, btw.

Losing on unfair terms doesn`t mean the other team is winning either. If my team constantly leaves and my choice is to drop down and instantly get rolled by 5 people waiting for me to do so, while my entire team constantly joins and leaves and I have to 5v8, play through the entire match and for my effort, more effort than ANYONE else maybe, maybe I steal a point, maybe I do a lot of work, more than the winning team, should I be rewarded so terribly? should I stay?

I`ve also played combat since I hit full champion gear months ago, and while I agree with the support feeling with us having a group trans, crippling throw root and MS strike root, I strongly disagree with your statement elsewhere. Our damage has and always has been amazing, I played combat because I felt our job as a pure dps should be simple : as much damage as possible as fast as possible. People are so incredibly clueless on these forums about combat, they think you should precision slash and then master strike. That`s great, except you can still get stunned, knock backed, not only by your target but by other people, and there goes your big burst. You should Precision slash, blade rush, blade storm and the master strike, if you`re lucky you`ll get a tick or two of MS with PS up. It`d even be smart to crippling throw root them before you do what rotation. And even running around with blade rush + bladestorm, the damage is pretty great when you get your crits. I can understand why you say everything you are and I do agree with you in a lot of ways, I`d really like the spec to become less reliant on precision slash because of the filthy amount of stuns/kbs in this game making it difficult to use it to its potential, considering the CD it has.

Yeah, people who say combat is a "support spec" are just people who have never played combat and are completely clueless. seriously, they think "okay, so I just have to use precision slash and master strike and that`s it." I`ve played combat since I was full champion gear, and I will never waste a master strike until if i`m lucky to get it off with 1-2 secs on PS, that should not be how your rotation goes on a precision slash application, even with the MS buff that is not what combats burst came from. They`re also the same people who charge a sorc, then hit precision slash, and immediately get knocked back or stunned, it`s like people said, if you can`t think ahead and don`t know the proper time to use your burst, you will feel like it`s a bad spec. Even going around and blade rush + blade storming does an incredible amount of damage even if you don`t notice it. so many people are trying combat and calling it useless, it`s amazing in PvP, it always has been it just lacked utility and the skill of people to play it, which is why all you see in these forums is "combat is a support role and combat sucks compared to watchman" because people don`t understand.

sssvs

you`d be surprised at how little of a stat increase WH gear is, adding the fact you can BUY the WH and crit craft it to allow an augment slot which is even better, toss your BM mods in until you can get the WH gear.

Try it at level 50 and give an opinion, you can`t really judge a spec that doesn`t put out the damage it has to until you get the best gear :/

all I care about is getting my black purple / black orange color crystal. /shrug if WH gear is anything like BM gear, the stat differences are going to be meaningless. And the WH gear is ugly, so it`s not like I`d use that for looks, I`d rather use the beginner gear for every class, that looks nicer.
