As someone who doesnt play BH can you outline or link me to a post that outlines the changes you are talking about? The only healing nerfs I know of seemed to be across the board and expertise based. Didnt hear about merc/commandos specifically

Ehh I can understand if your vision of PvP has more 1v1 duels, and that's your taste, by all means. It's just that PvP is generally based on group play and most definitely in this game, even if it's not quite up to spec yet. I'll admit though, it would be cool to have some system of queing up for 1v1 fights with the enemy faction or even people in your own faction, although that would probably have a big affect on Warzone que times. I think this community by far has some of the most intelligent and helpful players (albeit mixed in with a bunch of guys who are going to complain about everything) I have seen, it just seems like the dev team hasn't really paid as much attention to it as they should have

I currently use WASD and the mouse for movement.(holding right button down to strafe) I kinda need ASD... 1 THOUGH = for abilities i need to use fast Shift+ 1 through = for abilities that are either long rage or that i dont use AS often, but still prty regularly F1-F12 for saber ward/endure pain/medpac kind of stuff. Im thinking that since my jug doesnt need a button for cover I can use middle mouse for target nearest enemy and maybe shift+middle mouse button for nearest ally. Ill hav to try it when the servers are up to see if its actually practical. Im always against having to buy new hardware just to play a game. Didnt need it for street fighter, dont wanna use it for this

Does anyone have a good hotkey for targetting enemies in warzones? I tab through enemies and ther are times where the guy right in front of me wont be targeted.. i think i have shift+tab set as the hotkey to do this but its still kind of frusturating... If anyone has an easier way to do this, please let me know. Also, does anyone have problems sometimes targeting allies? Like, In Hutball if I see some dude grab the ball and im running towards and I want to target>intercede>guard I seem to have trouble when i go to click on them, and clicking their name in the OPs window adds precious seconds that usually can make or break you. I know a lot of this is just me needing to find better hotkeys but all the convenient ones have my spells and abilities linked to them. Any tips from you guys on how to target people easily and conveniently?

Hi jugs! I recently hit 50 and although i leveled up almost exclusivly as immortal, I wanted to try something new when i began what i thought was a PvP only career. Lately though, I have decided I wanted to try getting into PvE as a dps jug. I understand the stigma melee dps has (especially non marauder) but I am a good player so I am sure i will find a grp to see my value and bring me along. The issue I have come across is now one of practicality and convenience. My PvP veng spec is 11/30/0 (click for link) I run Soresu stance in this build for casting guard, and have started getting Vindicator gear as well. The issue that I have now that I have decided that I also want to PvE is that I don't want to constantly be changing specs around. It gets expensive, and I dont want to constantly be changing my hotkeys up too much either, although I realize I may have to do some of that even if you guys help me find a solution to my problem. Is this spec viable for PvE dps, or even an offtank? Are there minor changes I can make to it to make it such a spec?

A lot of you guys are coming in here posting personal anecdotes and saying that because you had a few bad experiences in PvP, that the time it takes to kill people is too low and that you die too fast. My jug just hit 50 and has all recruit vindicator gear and one belt BM vindicator gear. I am veng specced with 11 pts in immortal. I myself, as a juggernaut with LESS THAN 13K HP have not experienced these 3 hit kill deaths that you guys seem to say are rampant and everywhere, more than a few times when i get double teamed by dps classes with great gear and buffs. Similarly, the idea of healers being useless is also not prevalent in my gameplay. I literally followed an operative around today in voidstar bashing my lightsaber against her for about 45 seconds stragith, interrupting her heals and popping all my cooldowns/trinkets and she healed through much of it and seemed to take no damage at all. Obviously, she had better gear than me. Just let this be a lesson to you that just because you died really fast a few times doesn't mean the game is broke, the same way I cannot assume the game is broken because that operative was invincible. When it comes down to it, gear dictates a lot of these fights and just because your team is undergeared or the other team has a premade with full BM/ part war hero doesnt mean pvp is broken. It means you need to get better gear. The discussion of commendation gain is not what I am trying to address here. Just be careful when you shout that the game is broken, because when a squishy jug like me with nothing but recruit gear comes on the forums and sees people complaining like nuts over dieing quickly, and I AM CONFUSED BECAUSE I DONT SEE THIS BLATANT OWNAGE YOU GUYS ARE ALL WHINING ABOUT, maybe it means the problem lies in either your gear, your spec, your gameplay, your team or just plain bad luck.

No, this is blatantly untrue. If you are a class whose overall role is to tank you should be getting protection medals and kill medals. If you are a healer, you should be getting heal medals and kill medals. If you are a pure dps class like a marauder you should be getting kill and damage medals. I understand what it's like to sit at a node and protect it the whole game. But quite honestly, if you are sitting at, let's say snow in civil war, for so long all u get is 2 defender medals and nothing else, chances are no one is attacking that base and you aren't being much help. This is when you must make a difficult decision to stay, or join the greater battle and help cap the other node. Obtaining 3 medals as any class when you start in the beginning of the match is easy no matter what your class/role. Just because you do not adapt to the current game and leave an objective to go and fight doesn't mean you did what was best for the team.. if no one is hitting a node/door you are at for SO LONG YOU GET 2 MEDALS then you are making a bad judgement call in what is an effective tactic for that particular match, and have earned your zero rewards. In the case of joining a match late, obviously the system is designed around being there the whole time and getting there late is an unlucky pick of the draw and you can always leave if you feel it's tat bad. But if you are there from the moment the gate first opens and only get 2 medals, you were ineffective in that match. 3 medals is barely anything.

There is a minimum requirement of 3 medals to gain any rewards. You only got 2 medals, therefore no rewards. Furthermore, 3 medals isn't much. The maximum is 8. In this regard, Bioware doesn't owe you anything just because you don't read the rules or do very well in PvP.

Hey guys I am kinda down on my luck atm and I needed some advice. I dont have very good gear yet(fresh 50), which I am sure is part of my problem but it seems like I am seriously getting killed FAST in pvp. I do my best to switch between soresu and shii cho depending on the needs of the team but do u guys mind posting a few tips that helped u get used to the spec and attack combinations? Also, telling me what stats I should go for as of post 1/2 would be very helpful, I just want to make sure i am learning good habits and getting the right gear. TY!

nvm, got it

Im confused, that spec has points in shii cho mastery as well as points in lash out? what stance do u run in this build? both as needed?

If knights/warriors cold not effectively use vibroblades I would agree, but they can use vibroblades with no downsides sooo yeah either 1) You are correct (in which case Bioware phails for playing favorites) 2) It is a ridiculous mistake/oversight

I agree completely but there is already a few threads on this subject brah u gotta search next time u make a new thread cuz ur usually not the first person to think of these things. Brah

This statement is a logical fallacy. You aren't attacking his actual argument, you are just diverting the subject. Unless you can comment on his actual idea, and what he actually said, please, please just stop posting. It makes you look like an ***.
