and for 200 games you probably focused on damage and completely ignored objectives. that tunnel vision would make you the worst player on the team.

i,'ll be honest. didn't read entire post BU I have an operative. while I easily break 100k on damage there are some games when i don't. you are saying iI am playing bad? i am working objectives either babysitting nodes. using stuns to control healers. maybe stalking a door in voidstar or keeping teams off civil war nodes using stuns. vanish and my othee tools until help arrives. if your using ONLY damage to assess peoples skill. your doing it wrong i can easily ignore actual objectives and top dps charts. But is that the best use being a team member?

the game is not made for solo players. dude get a pocket tank get guarded and everything will work!! everyone sez so!

Ok so if i understand you are looking for an animation to announce a rail shot? Not sure about republic version, howeve BH version the avatar will raise its left arm move left leg back and "lock" into place as if bracing to fire a wrist rocket. You see that. Railshot inc.

I have not seen many sorc healers. In the lower brackets i have seen a ton of OPs/scoundrel. While its true sorcs if un molested can heal effectively, they can be effectively shut down by 1 experienced DPS. Most sorcs left have gone dps or hybrid to try and be effective. I believe most rated teams will carry 3 OP healers and a sorc hybrid for some utility and round out with heavy burst fotm characters. Its a given that OPs healers can heal while kiting and have superior defensive capabilities. Unless your team is facing a really bad team sorcs just wont have the ability to survive.

Depending upon make up of the other team, you might have been grouped with decent pvpers who watched out for you or you faced poorly geared or inexperienced players. Expertise makes ahuge difference in WZ's.. do a bit more reading and the general concensus is to get at least the main gear set recruit pieces

When healer survivability was questioned. All dps. Replied "find a tank, get guarded, make friends or play dps" since it appears EA/Bioware thinks healers are balanced due to their spreadsheet numbers it seems your wrong and need to L2P? Not that i agree but that seems to be the general thought.

Actually there was alot of world pvp around daily areas! It was great

Gonna go totally off topic! Awesome name shagg. Used the name shagnasti many years ago on bbs boards (before internet gasp!)see playing muds and tradewars...awesome memories!

M. Your time will come. I actually had a 15 que to long in. It was awesome! Went straight to pvp and stayed till 2a ! Was almost late to work.

My account expires on the 18th. However i must say after last night i will probably resub. The pvp was awesome and it was nice to see 300 on dock and a decent market. Even though my original server had a decent pop that regularly did pvp. It was nice to see new players and have fast almost instant ques with close games that contained exciting pvp.. well done bioware. I still dont agree with some decisions. Last night gave me renewed hope. In more changes to come.

Forgive me if this has been posted before i just logged on and to honest i dont feel like reading 13 prior pages. The issue that has been discussed in many threads regarding mara/sents are the damage they are able to dish out WHILE their defensive cd's are in effect. Now i have a mara lvl 50 among other alts. I will not attempt to speak to other maras playing style but if i am forced to use a defensive CD i will almost immediately use adrenals and relics to tilt the fight into my favor. With the change i expect to see maras burst to be brought into line and be a bit more balanced. I do not know how this will effect maras long term until its brought live and tested but with proper use of CC's and stuns mara's will be a bit more manageable.

I decided to start playing my low level scoundrel. I have noticed recently that it seem to ignore resolve. Now i have read the threads that say resolve is broken but it seems his stuns ignore resolve? I an really curious if anyone else has noticed this effect.

If RWZ's are used to inflate their epeen, then they are barking up the wrong tree. Ratings can be either watered down or inflated very easily. Our guild doing arenas would "sell" spots often to players to get titles and better ratings. You can log onto any server in WoW and find people selling spots on rated teams to players to boost them. I see this system will be no different. You will have players running around in rated gear professing their pro pvp skills while being mediocre at best in any given game. So fight to preserve your precious team rating. You will be no different than the rest of the medioccre palyers standing around professing your leet non exsistant skills.

Reread the post. I stated it was related to pvp not inclusive of the solo ques. Most of the republic guild came from a wow server and have played in multiple mmos as a guild. Yes some have started playing D3 and most went back to arenas. I logged onto vent to find out the issues and the reponses were varied but were all pvp related.
