Fatman. Has lots of stuff going on, but is not as heavily populated as the other popular ones. For me this equals less laggggggggggg spike issues.

Public groups: Why you NO Vote for tank with 200k protection? Why you NO HEAL the tank thats guarding you in wz's? Bioware: WHY YOU NO give us an option to choose pvp with normalized stats. Just let me have a few wz's with everyone naked or with class specific stats.

^ this He was not too clear though. Your guy is marching to the end zone, he gets pulled back into the fire by an enemy and the enemy gets the ball, YOU stand on the very edge of the last firepit facing mid, and pull the enemy puller into the fire, and easily walk the ball in 8 steps. I lol everytime. That said, being a pt tank is the best. Pull AND Leap is boss. No escape. If they run, they only die tired.

I am powertech, and my good friend is a sorc. Funniest thing ever. When we come up on 1 guy its so fun. I leap to them and stun them with electro dart, my sorc friend pulls me back to him we Unload on him while he is stunned from the dart for 4 seconds, the as soon as he comes out he is insta whirlwind'd and we pound him some more, then when they come out of that from the damage, he uses force lightning and i use my auto attack (Force lightning talented slow 30%, and ion gas cylinder 50% slow) So he has the slowest, most painful walk to try to los out of our damage... lol. Not to mention if he attacks me, i get healed by my friend, if he attacks the sorc, they have my guard on them.... Works on 2 people equally well, i usually kite the tougher one, keep him off my friend with carbonize, nades, and grapple while we attack the softer target. That said, and for all the laughter it has provided me, there are combinations of classes, talents, and skills that allow what i like to call, ownage chains. Figure it out, use them, or die.

Just to let you know boss, YOU were the smart one, not the dumb one, main assist is still used, necessary in rated's and raid and any group not using one has a disadvantage. I hear it called mostly in swtor, like this "Who is calling targets?" And one of the dps takes on that responsibility. What also works well is you can designate a team mate to MARK targets, I like the orange gun and bioware added keys that you can bind to target the MARKS. Default they are the NumPad keys i think. So someone (the MA) marks the doomed one, you press whatever key you have set for that icon, and blamo. Its nice because you can get ur guild to use the same three or four marks, bind them to keys, and when your in a raid or rated match you can mark all three healers(or whatever) with different marks, and cycle through them using Numpad1, 2, 3... making interrupts a cinch.

I survive pretty well in a 2v1 as a tank. I would say on average always at least 30+ seconds, and most of the time its more like 45 - 1:15 depending on what class they are, if they are full gear or not....

Yep, ur bads. Like the other guy said its a l2p issue. Um yeah. Try pulling people into the fire not the acid, they die faster. Backpeddling like a boss. No targets marked or focused.... About the only thing you did right is attacking healers....

Powertech here. Im OP. LIke alot. Im tank spec, so i dont see too many 5k+ hits, but i see lots and lots of 2-4k instant flame burst and rs rp crits. Im SO damn maneuverable ALL of my damage can be done while moving, when i get 2or3 teamed ill just pop my shield and charge to another enemy that is less tough. I can pull you in the fire, ALOT. I can leap into your face FREQUENTLY, which is interrupt #1, then Ill punch you in the face for 2-4k, and stun you for my 4 sec CC, put a timer missile on you, light you on fire for 1500, interrupt what you were casting with quell...(healers) that 2 interrupts, then cybertech nade, Interrupt 3, then quell again,...... from there its a rp, fb orgy on ur face while i wait for rs cooldowns and interrupt you every 6 seconds. I have some screen shots with my guild in 4 man premades where i had a pocket healer with my guard on him, and went 70-80 and 0... Its fun but seems really unfair to other players.... When i play my sorc, things dont go nearly so well.... nor with my merc... its broken.... fix it or not.. but nerd rage is growing... Idea.....Flame burst on 4 second cooldown...?

Yep, good stuff. Everyone watch this. I really laughed out loud at the "serious bull$h|t" part, gd guarded healers. Why is there an option in GAME to remove the language filter, but not on these forums. Herp a derp BW!

Im actually a Tank Powertech. Left tree. I took some points in the other two tree's mostly the ones that make me tougher. Im HARD to kill in pvp. I love charging to ppl, pulling people, light them on fire, punch them in the face.

He is right. Everyone knows that melee is way superior to ranged right now in this game. Anyone that pretends otherwise is just being silly or selfish. The evidence is there for all to see, you cant play a wz without having 4 warrior or 4 powertech on your team, or the other team. Counting both teams there is usually 10-12 melee and 4-6 ranged. Thats double for u math majors. Face facts, there is balance issues. bad ones.

Your disinformation is WRONG and you should place your foot firmly in your mouth. SWTOR sells a keyboard that lets you macro. The rules are as follows. 1) No automation. (Using pixel search to find when you get a proc, or debuff and to autocast something in response.) 2) No keystrings ( Press 1 key, once, and it does 4 things) You can make 1 key do 4 things, but you need to press it 4 times. Other then those 2 things, Bioware is aware of macro use, and allows it.

Healers are fine. Maybe give mercs a little buff.

Or you could all tell the developers at BW that you are bent that they didnt put macro support in the game, and give them the finger by using 3rd party hotkey programs like AHK and autoit. Then you can have 1 key for 3 things, Like me. If i press 4 and ur close you get flame burst, if ur out of melee range you get incendiary missile. 5 you get rocket punch, or if ur far away Timer Missile... much easier, and also easier on the hands. Just remember biowares official word on macros. NO automation, and NO "I win button" Meaning you cant make it so that if you press a single key, it puts up your shield, targets yourself, and uses a heal, before re-targting your enemy.

Suggestions: Have a friend lvl 50, power level you to a few(3-5) lvls above the area your going to. Whats that you say? Powervlving isnt possible?! Wrong. Dont group with your friend, tag a mob, have ur friend kill it. Rinse, Repeat. Every time that you start to plateau off and quests are any other color then green, summon your friend. Rinse Repeat. Sounds feasible, and if there isn't a title, there should be. I suggest "The Undefeated" or to steal from gw's and make a reference "A God among Mortals" Cheers and good luck.
