Where is this obtained from? Thanks!

What made watchman the PvP was the self heals. Back in the day, you could pop Zen+Medpac+GBtF and heal to full. Plus if you knew how to use your other defensives, you could 2v1 pretty easily depending on competency. I have been Watchman spec from 1.0-2.5, 2.5-4.0 Combat, then in 4.0 I went back to Watchman. I only changed to combat because of my guilds needs (Improved Trans). I only played until 4.1 and didnt pick it back up until now. I respec'd into that self heals and dropped the Blade Blitz immobilize immunity to pick it up. I feel like the Imp Trans and Zealous Judgement? (Pacify Utility) are pretty much must haves for PvP.

Which is better for PvP currently? Vengeance or Rage? Thanks in advance.

You have laid out very good guides for Watchman/Anni for PvE. Very much appreciated. Do you have any suggestions for Watchman/Anni PvP? Set bonuses? Tacticals? Etc. I understand that Concentration/Fury is better, however I know Watchman/Anni can also be successful. I like Watchman for everything that Concentration is not. I am a returning player after 2 xpacs off, so any information on the optimal way to use Watchman/Anni in PvP will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Luckily doing the Oddessan? prologue gives you catch up gear. So assuming im using that as a full set, how long can be anticipated to gear up? A couple of days? Weeks? Months?

I have filled out an app on the site. Who would be the recruiters to message in game?

I am also looking for an active guild. I prefer PvP specific guild, but open to all types of guilds, as long as there is focused PvP community.

Looking for PvP activity, I PvP almost exclusively. What is the PvP community like in your guild?

How is the PvP community in your guild? Is it more of a im bored thing so then ill PvP? Or is it a priority? I PvP almost exclusively.

I also just recently returned after what summed up to be a 2 xpac layoff. How do I gear now? Is it token/vendor based? I PvP 99% of my time on, and I would prefer that method but I have no idea how gearing works now. Any insight would be fantastic, thanks!

Thanks for the tip! Do you collect the gear, or is galactic command, or are there tokens/vendors? What am I looking at specifically? Thank you in advance!

Hello All, I am pure PvPer, not really interested in PvE at all. I also just returned to the game after missing most of the last two xpacs, I played maybe a couple of months. The gearing system killed it for me, but I heard it has changed since the Lead Dev was outted and the game has a new one. With that said, what is the best way to gear through PvP? Is it overly complex? Any returning player advice towards this goal would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I am I looking for a guild whose primary focus is PvP. I dont care if other parts of the game are explored but the main focus needs to be PvP. I was a founding member of Hoth Ski Patrol back on Pot5 and have played the game since virtually launch. I stopped playing the last 1.5-2 xpacs and my former guild is no longer active. I have both Imp and Pub toons, I main Sentinel and Jugg. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

what they REALLY need to do is remove Solo Ranked que and only have team ranked, either 4v4 or 8v8. Much more difficult to win trade those ways than in solo que. And you avoid all that "only doing missions dont care bs". Solo Que is the real cancer.

No thanks. I am Watchman and I like that for PvP. Thank you.

Im all in favor of more "alien" like species. Things like Twi'lek, Nautolans, etc that actually give you a different look besides skin color to be implemented in the future. Also, please consider new classes added as well.

I hope this is the case. #bringbackIlum

I hear ya. As a long time subscriber, sometimes even stayed subbed even though I didnt have time to play, that quit and cancelled my sub for 5.0 and part of 4.0, I can say that I have been there. My initial thought though when I read your post about the gear scaling with Osus OPS is that they didnt want to waste limited resources on that content when resources are allocated to 6.0. I can say with absolute certainty that 6.0 has been in development for quite sometime, likely a year +, prior to their announcement of the release date. September is far too close for them to just start developing it after the latest patch releases. Assuming that the case, I would say it would be acceptable to do what they did to improve the game. Changing gear, adding in gear is a lot development time that is easily allocated elsewhere. I quit primarily because of gearing. I will not come back unless they fix the mess that the past expansions were. When Keith took over, I would tell people that he is only going to stop hemorrhaging in this current expansion and we wouldnt see his vision until the next expansion. Some of the things he has done to stop the hemorrhaging have given me faith that he will restore the direction of this game to that of growth in every aspect of the game. I think he will make it better. So far, with limited details, I cant say I have seen anything as of yet to make me think otherwise. For me its simple, 6.0 will be one of two paths, either this game will be dead to me for good or i will be restored with a new hope...

I'm pretty sure its standard that old raids/OPs are obsolete once an expansion hits. Just like with their previous expansions you will have to grind a new set of gear once you are max level without revisiting old OPs content. I agree with you, there must be a path for PvPers to be able to get gear. That is what I will be looking for and a deciding factor on whether or not I return to the game.

I hope they are more utility based abilities. The talent point system never works as there becomes hybrids that you just cant balance around leaving full trees gimped. Replacing existing abilities is ok, if they add something to the ability not just a damage buff.

Personally I am hoping for a combination of both. I want to be able to buy PvP gear for PvP with PvP comms like it was before. With Galactic Command to supplement it. As for gear being obsolete, it should be. I dont say this as a returning player that didnt play for an xpac. I am saying this as a MMO player who knows whenever you have an level increase the current gear will be obsolete. Its how it should be.

I have been a long time subscriber, joined the game 1 month shy of the founder title. I love this game. But the gearing and the direction of solo play made me decide to not play this previous expansion for the most part. I am anxious to try out 6.0, but I and I am sure the community as well, would love to hear some details on gearing. How will gearing work in 6.0 specifically? Can we see some details please? Thanks.

HAHAHA. I exclusively PvP. I hate PvE and never do it if I dont have to. I'm all for equal stats for everyone, never grind for anything and just get to the action. One problem with that, you seem to have overlooked, it would only be you, myself, and one other soul PvPing. We are in a minority. I personally like challenges, and variety in players I face. Its how I get better. Most people need rewards of some kind for something they undertake. A simple 5% advantage is nothing really, but it makes those that min/max feel like they are rewarded with something for their efforts. Otherwise, why min/max? So if theyre not min/maxing, they are probably doing something else which means less people PvPing, longer ques, etc. But then again, I guess some people havent elevated their confidence and skill that some challenges just seem too daunting.

I know people think damage, protection, and healing are all that make up PvP, but the truth is there is so much more. Control is a huge part of PvP and all you described to me was good PvP play. Bad PvP play wont do that or do it correctly. That is not an "issue" that needs to be corrected, rather praised and learned from.
