Can somebody in simple words explain why iron fist now is so bad? because i m a german and so english isnt so easy.
thx
It's because of the nerf to Rocket Punch via Flame Shield...
Flame Shield: The critical chance bonus applied to Rocket Punch and Flame Sweep has been reduced to 8% (down from 15%) per point

I said viable as in to recover its full potentialities. There is not a true hybrid spec that is viable for any AC, as intended by design.

Here is my free in-depth Guide to Powertech Mechanics and PVP:
http://taugrim.com/2012/01/04/guide-to-bounty-hunter-powertech-trooper-vanguard-mechanics-and-pvp/
Let me know your feedback / questions, either here or on my blog.
I'll be updating it multiple times a week on my blog, and I'll be posting significant content changes here.
Look forward to dialoguing with you!
Is this thread even viable to the community anymore? I'm assuming the OP no longer plays SWTOR, therefore would not be updating his blog with any pertinent information. If that is the case I feel this thread should be "unstuck".

Go Pyro or AP. ST sucks for pvp right now, unless you want to be a punching bag w/crap dps. There are no viable hybrid options at this point.

My server is completely dead so I just cancelled my subscription. I couldn't hang on anymore. This game had so much potential yet it failed for all the wrong reasons.

As a ST just use a dps companion and you'll blow right through them.

BioWare...pull your collective head out before it's too late!
It's pretty F'ing simple if you ask me... FIX THE LOW SERVER POPULATION PROBLEM EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY! It is without a doubt the #1 reason people are leaving this great game! Server Xfers won't do sh*t other then delay the inevitable. Server MERGERS need to happen and absolutely need to roll out within the next two weeks or this game is dead in the water and the only ones that will be left playing will be the fanboys!
Everything else comes second and a far second at that.

The First Day of Summer (Summer Solstice) is on Wednesday, June 20, 2012.
If BW plans to wait that long this game will be dead in the water.

First, who cares about medals past 8. Pointless.
I understand that acquiring more then 8 medals in a single WZ match means nothing for a player regarding personal rewards. However, as a statistic, medals are a strong indicator of one's performance and accomplishments in a WZ match. More times then not the team with the most medals wins. So, no, medals past 8 are by no means pointless, statistically speaking.
-
What's the recommended gear? Offensive or the defensive stuff?
Shield offhand, DPS stats for the remaining slots. Check out Taugrim's "Iron Fist" guide and have fun!

If your top 3 in damage done out of 16 your not running with very good DPS. IF in no way can compete with competent with true dps.
Top 3 on my team which would be out of 8. Using my offensive cds (optimally) every time they're up and using stims liberally I dish out fairly decent damage when need be. I know I'll never be in the top percentage of damage dealers as an IF spec, nor would I expect that. However, I'm usually top medal earner and the other stats I mentioned out of the entire 16.
-
So even with absorption and defensive gear, the class is still weak against ranged?
I guess I'll stick with my sorcerer healer I'm slowly leveling up as my side option to pvp. I chose PT because I wanted to tank pvp matches, but I guess I can't do that effectively. (don't care about doing pve)
Tryout the "Iron Fist" build...It's actually a lot of fun if played correctly! I'm usually top medal earner, top 3 in damage, #1 in protection, top 1-2 in objectives and most importantly.....#1 in pissing people off!
-
Just wondering if Iron Fist is still viable?

Re: PVP PT using DFA
While the effective radius has gone down from 8m to 5m (37.5%), players don't stand in a single line emerging from the center of a circle. What really matters here is the area of effect....that being the area of the circle.
Reduction has gone from 100% (8m radius) 200.96m2 to 39% (5m radius) 78.5m2
The area of effect has been reduced by 61%. This is what should be looked at...as people even trying to escape frantically will run into walls or sometimes have to run through the area of effect to get to safety.
61% reduction.
I'm not happy about it.
Lavastar nailed it.
DFA is a complete joke post 1.2! Especially when compared to other class's AOE.

Pretty simple to me....just model the GTN after WoW's Auction House. IMO it's the best auction-format design in MMO's.

Afraid your game can't stack up balance wise?
I don't UNDERSTAND!
Pretty much. Arenas = fastest way to expose unbalance among classes = BW does not want those headaches.

To answer the statement about not being a good player even though you won a large number of medals. Yes, this is true and i wasn't saying otherwise. But it is a reasonble indicator to show the players activity and effort at performing a role.
Take a 2 juggernauts for instance. Both are rage spec.
Player 1: runs as or with the ball carrier. Is in soresu form in order to put guard up on carrier or healer. Reduces regular damage by keeping scream up and uses taunt to keep damage down and in turn helps the team to win. Chances are this person will come away with say 9 medals. Performs a team role yet gets no MVP.
Player 2 (on same team): Does none of the above. Chases kills and get kited and killed. Comes away with 3-4 medals. Gets an MVP.
I am not saying this only happens to juggs. This is just an example. But this is what i am talking about. Whats the point in working as a team if the team doesn't recognise your contribution.
Pretty much this. It happens to me all the time. I'm a PT Shield Tech and consistent top medal earner. I play my *** off every WZ and I'm a perpetual team player. I always keep guard up on the bc or heals, keep taunts on cd and use my cc optimally but never get any love when it comes to MVP votes. The MVP system is a complete JOKE and needs to be totally revised or scrapped.

Now if the only fix the GTN...

I agree. The robe wearing Jedi's big bubble butt just looks ridiculous!

They basically cut our ability to critically hit with RP in half. And with RP being the main damage ability Iron Fist is built around its a pretty substantial nerf. Just give it up and go 31-pt Shield Tech if you still want to tank in pvp. You can manipulate your gear, spec and stims depending on if you want to have more survivability or more dps.
