how about addressing the skank tank imbalance its a ^%$^%$ joke. whats the point playing a DPS glass cannon spec when I can hope on an I WIN skank tank.

If your dot spec I can see a use for it if you get the amplifier that spreads discharge around after you have used severing slash other than that an emergency slow????

Point still stands just be cause they suck $^% in ranked does mean they aren't unbalanced. Did you ever think that 4 maned ranked was the issue. If we brought back 8 manned rank which you still insist they class is fine?? there's a reason peeps play regs over ranked because ranked is boring and favors " I win Classes"

Fine with this when they remove DPS from tanks cause tanks shouldn't be doing DPS!

Might help if you understood how gear works. You do understand that the set bonus is the armor mod so when you take it out and place it in a set of legacy gear (or any gear) the set bonus goes with it! Yeah i know mind blown. So spend 14k to take it out then add to legacy set do this 27 times will run you about 378k . Next take the armor you laughably spent 100 of millions on and set it to a costume yes it cost like 6k for each piece but what the hell man you just drop 100's of millions so suck it up.This way the costume is what everyone sees and your legacy set is what has all the stats on it.

Answer NONE! I hate four man matches Might be different if you idiots could balance a class but its painfully evident you can't even do that! SO do us all a favor and forgo the lame four man match and BALANCE THE CLASSES. So I have no hope this is going to happen that is why I stopped subscribing no point in paying for substandard lame content. Since all i do is PVP and you can only do that 5 times a week plus can't get command crates there's really no reason to even log in anymore. Really sad on what this game has become so much potential squandered due to lazy and lack of innovation enjoy going the way of SWG your just another SOE.

Kinda disagree, if your a deception going against hatred dot spec their laughable heals can't compete with our burst, which makes sense their focus is the many while we specialize on the one. Plus depending on your utilities deception can get heals when they cloak out the caveat being you have to stay cloaked to receive full benefit there-by losing anything you had proc'd. Granted when you open again you should start process over again but you basically wasted everything that you had proc'd prior to cloaking.

Kinda missing the whole point of the spec. Your a dot spec and dot specs means attacking the many not the one. Deception's focus is on eliminating the one so If you want single target focus then play a deception sin. To do otherwise renders playing deception pointless. Deception is the king of one on one within the assassin class trio. Further more what your basically angling for is to have more survival, more single target dmg and they ability to dot the many so a hybridization of the three specs into a super assassin A.k.a merc 2.0. Yes you'd basically be an OP merc we don't need another merc lite or sniper lite. Accept your role your a dot spec attack the many. As it stands now Bioware will never address the glaring obvious factors that make Merc's, snipers and jugs OP because all those I win kiddies who rely on those crutch classes would up and quit and they can't afford to lose that much of the player base. Otherwise they would have addressed this 3 years ago!

YOU NEED THE GRAPPLE GUN! Etither the one on ossus in a cave off dead dude or from outlaws den

At very least them coming out and announcing everything getting moved to one sever which would be the death knell of the game. Kinda sad to go from 1.7 million players to barely enough to fill 1

you mean master don't you i didn't see a black talon for veteran on group finder though, i know you can run a veteran through the actual mission giver i only ever get command points though when i do a run through.

Blame the idiot dev's for this. They decided a great way to increase a diminishing pvp population was to extort its player base into doing ranked instead of balancing classes. Reg's does not give the needed "mats" people are queuing for only ranked does and it's the 20 win one so your force people to que 20 times. So if it bothers you this much just boycott pvp altogether. Instead of calling the players "bads" and telling them they shouldn't que maybe you should tell this dev team they are "BAD" and should move on!

Dot specs vs single target focus is apples to oranges not sure why subject was even brought up.

?????

So you can out DPS a vengeance or Rage jug on your Deception sin every time you get in a match. Wow mate your a better man than me.

its called a TYPO for the galactic-ally effin stupid for those that like too throw stones sadly, the people from countries where english is not their native language make more sense than you. They also at least have an excuse for incomprehensible syntax errors. What makes your time any more valuable than any elses' exactly. this is pure entertainment for me. Also, i'm a registered republican so think again on the liberal thing buddy. 3 spelling errors 1 grammar error English should be capitalized Should be Else's' not elses' i'm should be I'm buddy.[ should be buddy. [ Those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. https://www.ragan.com/cut-it-out-grammar-usage-syntax-are-not-the-same-2/

Really because I happen to disagree with a few utilities that makes me a bad sin, usually top in DPS for sins and objectives unless dot spec present but what ever mate

Funny you implement Progressive Liberal tactics like a pro! Can't debate on issues assassinate character right out of rules for radicals! Again your the only one with comprehension issues the rest seem to be doing just fine.

lol I never said i was loosing at ranked I don't play ranked cause its a waste of time! For the record though: I take avoidance, Oppressing force, Electric bindings Speed Surge Shroud of madness, Emersion Reapers rush and phasing phantasm Wrong on Enet the dot can be shrouded the prevention of using your abilities still persists you cannot cloak! Dude if you cloak out as a sin I will pop you out of stealth 9 times out 10 with lacerate. Very rarely does it NOT hit! Going up against a jug with brains the second i cloak if they hit mad dash i'm exposed its an AOE melee it works just like lacerate has nothing to do with tactics just the dang abilities. AOE melee will expose you shroud doesn't prevent this.

Twice??? First off sins get one stealth out and that is easily countered especially if your a melee class, bounty hunters, snipers and ops all have cloak detection abilities merc can drop area detection crap as well the only class that is at a really disadvantaged against our cloaks is sorcs and that is only if the sin in question took shroud of madness if they didn't ANY AOE will pop a sin out! Plus for those classes that have taunts if you taunt and a sin cloaks when he pops back out to heal he won't be able too. Then there's always the ever wonderful ability called electro-net preventing me from even cloaking in the first place! What's the counter to electro-net??? So sins lasting longer than a jug is only viable if your going up against people who don't know how to counter the cloak. Cloak is NOT the panacea you all make it out to be! Instant whirlwind comes at a price (which is utter bs IMHO, they took away crushing darkness and our channeled abilities because our spec was suppose to be all instant attacks yet we have to spend a utility to make whirlwind instant. Typical hypocritical BS hark back to they days when sin's got robbed of the knock down on spike yet jugs can throw anyone across the screen and knock them down! ) But I digress, The question becomes what are you giving up for that instant cast? You giving up evasion enjoy being rooted and slowed every 3 secs loads of fun when you've popped force run and then get hit with a root stops you dead in your tracks! So really can't give up evasion so that leaves shroud of madness so now because I give that up i'm a sitting duck when I cloak cause every AOE dot will pop me out. So no dice on that which means giving up phasing phantasm making me into even more of a glass cannon then I already am! The following as you so eloquently provided is the exact reason imbalances exist in this game: dps pt, dps jugg, dps sin, dps sorc, sniper, leth oper, mara and dps merc. finaly con op. All DPS spec's should be hitting around the same DPS the can go about it different ways but they should be equal in over all DPS. All tanks should be tanking around the same amount of dmg and all heals should be healing for the same. All things save skill should be equal. If we implemented Bioware's notion of balance into boxing you'd be pitting heavy weights vs featherweights and gee I wonder what the out come of those fights are predominately going to be any guess? What this is( dps pt, dps jugg, dps sin, dps sorc, sniper, leth oper, mara and dps merc. finaly con op.) is a system that is roll dependent i.e. certain classes are designed to take out other classes. Yet there is no penalty for taking out a lesser roll or a bonus for a greater roll. How is it balanced when I face an Operative put out as much DPS as him yet die because I lack the ability to heal? The player playing the operative won but only because of the classes abilities not necessarily his skill. Why bother playing a assassin doing decent DPS when I can drink a 12 pack of corona hop on a vengeance jug face roll keyboard and walk out with top DPS or dam close to it?

Why ranked is a joke literally nobody plays ranked! It's gotten so bad they literally bribing peeps to play it by awarding components to make crap! However, let us examine why jugs get targeted first could it possible be they can dish out a crap load of damage in a short period of time? So yeah it's know wonder the entire team focus's a jug first though even 4 vs 1 you still managed to last longer than a sorc or a sin would so not buying the Ranked excuse and frankly if 8 man ranked was brought back jugs wouldn't be the first targeted. Your actually comparing apples to oranges when comparing 16 man matches to 8 man. care to extrapolate on those misconceptions?

Tank spec is even worse than the DPS specs! I've seen immortals out DPS Pure DPS specs. Now I'm willing to stipulate those playing might have been new but the issue is it should even be possible period! Your a tank spec not DPS generating that much damage as a tank spec breaks trinity! As stated many times before Jugs in general's damage to death is to high compared to other classes. Having a Heal on dmg plus decent reflect with a lousy visual effect, throw in super simple rotation for vengeance and you have one of the three I win classes. (Sniper and merc being other two) Fury Mara's slowing replacing all the jugs but they're far more jugs than Mara's still. Now perhaps the reason you can't grasp this is the fact you haven't played any class that was actually a glass cannon all i see is tanks and heal specs. I wonder why that is, couldn't possibly be that dam near all of them break trinity. As for your inability to comprehend whats written seems to be all your issue. My time is valuable and scarce as it is I ain't going to take the time to write an APA, MLA post just so your over educated idiot syndrome will be placated. Most adults possess enough cognitive ability to discern what is trying to be communicated. If i can discern what someone from another country who's native language isn't even English is when i'm on here I'm pretty sure you can manage a long paragraph or two, suck it up buttercup your making a mountain out of a mole hill.

compare to other warrior specs which isn't what we're talking about

You play/favor the class, so you refuse to see or hear any arguments that are presented, and you can't argue on merits, so you pull from pages of rules for radicals and attack myself on minutia such as lame minor grammar mistakes as if I was publishing an APA paper for peer review. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds as nine times out of ten you have more spelling mistakes than an eight-year-old. So, pardon me if I can't take anything you post serious, I tend to ignore educated idiots that adopt progressively liberal zealotry as a means of avoiding the debating of ideas especially when that is what this forum is meant to do.

DPS BURST =glass cannon
