They can still do that more or less. If you don't have a way to escape cc ready you are done for. In fact i think they need more nerfs. If you can't do that you are not min maxed or there is something wrong with the way you play or both.

Assassins are doing insane damage these days. Can't even imagine what it must have been before the backstab nerf. But even now they are doing way waaaay too big crits and too often at that, for a class that is not pure dps class. Combine this with not a low skill cap and an assassin that is not bad is pure covid19.

I am not used to anything, The last time i was an active pvper in this game was when i was a merc before the big buff for mercs. The buff that gave them epic self heal and reflective healing shield.

Am drunk a little so excuse the rambling. Sniper/GS is the only class i have played post 6.0, since returning to the game 3 weeks ago(first few weeks were leveling), and some things make me scratch my head. Am i missing something from the mix maxing shenanigans post 6.0. because on my new gs/sniper, i have to use a tactical and drop all alacrity and accuracy in order to squeeze out a 50 k from Ambush/Aimed shot. Do i need more weapon expertise/ armor pen affinity or *** is going on here? Mercs doing 40 ks from heatseaking missiles left and right and without tactical, i thought snipers would be doing more damage than this. if i am not paying attention , a sorc can take half my health with his 1,2,3 burst. Not to mentioned pts. An assassin can *********** destroy my hp, if he opens on me and i don't have cds and breakers, or don't wanna bother tryhard him atleast a little. If you relax for just a sec, that's it, you are deleted. Playing a sniper is a tryhard parade. Marksmanship seems more like a sustained damage spec, tbh, not a burst spec, when compared to assassins,sorcs, pts, etc. Was wondering what stats should a min maxed sniper have(marksmanship)?

edit: don't remember making this thread, was drunk yesterday, would love it if it gets deleted

That's a big problem. The pvp base is smaller than it has ever been. I am a little tired of seeing the same names over and over and over again. The same people(imp side,DM), every. freaking. game. It feels like 10 people are playing this game. its cringy tbh. Btw i haven't seen many premades recently, except from a pvp guild called Atoma, but they are not destroying queues or anything, usually go by groups of 2 from what i've seen. It must be a US server thing.

''topping DPS charts'' just means you stay in the trench warfare fest that happens in mid or somewhere else. Least fun and most of the time productive way to play imo. So the specs being bad or good has little to do with being top dps.

Computers can't. When there is a mara/sent, the premade looks like an attack of angry bees on meth. There are frame rate spikes and a general frame rate drop. Especially if i just turned on the PC,swtor and its my first WZ and there are premades on both teams. Can't see ****. That's the only problem with premades i have.

That would be true if mercs had phase walk. The sniper's teleport is not a last resort, the same way the sorc one is. A sniper can't heal or anything. And the amount of time to get out of combat in this game is too long, especially if you have dots going. It is more like another form Covered Escape. More likely to be used as a maneuverability, rapid map movement thing and offensively, not an ''oh sh it '' button. If you wait for the last second to use it in order to survive a zerg ,when you are at 5-15 % hp or something, the outcome is already pretty much decided 8 times out of 10.

I came back to the game not long ago, but from what i've seen. Hatred is not good. Lethality is insane though. Haven't seen many snipers, let alone Virulence to have an impression.

+ the old battlemaster pvp sets want valor(from GTM). Some of those sets are not bad.

A few days ago i got kicked for the first time in 8 years of swtor from a FP while not being afk. It was veteran Athiss.( i was also drunk a little) At the jump shortcut before first boss i got stuck twice, (such fails happen sometimes, so what? )The second time obviously has a timer, so i couldn't do anything. They jumped down and got killed by the droids(2 75s and 1 60). Just as the droids were reaching me i got unstuck and finished them off. After they got all back they proceeded to kick me. They were far away near the boss, so maybe they didn't know i was stuck, so they thought i just sat there while they died. Whatever the case it was stupid reason to kick someone. Not a big deal, i just requeued got Cademimu and finished it without problems. Maybe it was the alcohol but I was surprised at the serious outrage i felt at first. I wrote down their names and i am going to gank them in wzs, every time i see them. Unfortunately i spied what they were doing for a few days and not once did they enter wz, i guess they are not into wzs at all. Still i have their names(friend list on every active character i have) for hopefully some kind of future use. Some kind of grief or prank later on, for fun, maybe years from now, especially on the guy that initiated the kick.

It's not snipers for sure, otherwise there would be more of them. There are days when i spam wzs for many hours straight and not see a single sniper/gs. On the other hand It's full to the brink with lightning sorcs and arsenal mercs. The few times i see snipers, people usually just swarm and vaporise them in 3 seconds. The new burstiness after 6.0 doesn't seem to work well with their squishiness, especially in a stunlock. Never played a sniper before, maybe it's time to roll one. Seems interesting.

While it is understandable why some people might not like some aspects of DAI, the game is not even close to the epic fail that was Andromeda. Comparing DAI to Andromeda is simply insane. Andromeda does not feel like a Mass Effect game, everything is weird and bad. Hell... even the body models of the characters are all weird and unathletic with too big heads, like they are all body type 1 from swtor, on top of everything else that is wrong with that game. The point is the Mass Effect franchise is somewhat complete with 3. The DA franchise is not complete without Inquisition and it still feels like a Dragon Age game. However you are beggining to see there, some vibes that will be completely embraced later with Andromeda. I am not talking about the mmo elements, they are insignificant. Still DAI is still in the family of ''good RPG games'', even if it is not like the likes of Origins.

My main is a merc, in Arsenal there is a window of a few seconds in which you have to stay still to cast Tracer Missile, but all the other time you can move and cast. Except in the few cases in which you heal or do aoe.

Excuse me but what the **** is a Jedi if not a monk?

Ever since i logged back in after maintanance i have these random frame rate drops. The worst ones are when i press L and go to Guild Invasions/conquest, that is when the game stops responding completely and i have to use task manager to close the game and relog. Is it just me or is this a common occurrence? edit: just saw there is a major thread about this, so nevermind

To sum it up: - The game is balanced around trinity 4s and should be. The fact that group ranked is dead(and it is) is irrelevant. Even if ranked is removed altogether, game should still be balanced around trinity 4s. - Group ranked is dead. Imo solo is dead too, but w/e. A ranked scene that is not dead is WoW TBC arena for example. No chance to meet the same people game after game,ever. - Don't nerf Electro Net. Mercs are not that powerful. At the most just make wether or not they stop charge, roll or bubble, depend on white bar. But increase the damage as a compensation.

The ones that take it seriously and would mind if ranked is removed are around that number. Could be wrong, but i doubt the number is very big.

Just get rid of ranked altogether, who even plays that ****? 20 people per server? Make the ranked rewards take half a year(or w/e) of grinding warzones for some kind of currency that is not legacy bound and there you go.

accepted a wz, waited 10 mins to get a loading screen, which loaded for another 10 mins and could not get out of the wz for another 10 mins. At the moment i am on a loading screen to get back to guild ship. Server(Darth Malgus) is burning down in flames.

Not very exciting, because they will probably do something that will make hardcore fans pissed off in order to satisfy casual SW fans, Disney style.

They should just change the voice actor for something similar and be done with it.

Then you log out and play something else for a few more months. Honestly this is my favorite game of all time and i take breaks for half a year or more sometimes , because of being burned out.

Or is it working as intended. I just came back to the game, and decided to start playing Mercenary again and this is depressing. The only times there is any sound is when you use these abilities in warzones and in the player ship on the target dummy. It can't be working as intended right? Otherwise why have sound in some parts of the game and not have any sound in others. (talking about the sound they make when the missile launches, not when it hits the target)
