You idiots arent reading the post, smugglers and troopers deal massively over powered damager, when a smuggler and trooper can finish a flash point in 30 min with no deaths at lvl 12 and the flash point is lvl 12 thats not right. while at lvl 13,14 and 15 three jedi knights and a jedi counsular could not finish it in veen 1 hour it took us 2 hours to finish with a total of 21 deaths. that is not right, read the *********** post im not saying the game is stupid im saying that this game IS NOT *********** BALANCED. when a pistol does 5 times more damage then a lightsaber how the **** is that balanced, when the force does 2 times more damage then a light saber how is that balanced. when a *********** lvl 12 companion can tank a sith and not take more than 300 points of damage, NO HEALS WHERE THROWN IN THE FLASHPOINT, thats not balanced. pleased not trolling im trying to make it clear to everyone that this is not a balanced game its ****.

So I've been playing SWTOR for about 2 weeks now, I've made plenty of characters both sith and jedi. But when I made this most recent character I found something out. So let me start at the beginning and start with some lore. A lightsaber is a powerful weapon capable of slicing through almost anything with a single swing, its controlled by force energy and is the chosen weapon of the jedi and sith alike. While more unconventional weapons such as blasters rifles and blaster pistols are more for people who can't use the force, or choose not to believe in it (Han solo). When i started playing SWTOR i made a sith warrior, not because i knew they were op but because i like being evil. I got to lvl 23 and started dieing, not a few times but almost every fight with more then 1 gold or more then 3 silver portrait enemies i would die. So i decided to try an inquisiter it was better, for a time, then again it went down hill. finally i decided to make a smuggler. Now i should note that since my sith warrior i have since made another one with my father who also plays the game both of us are subed to the game and love playing it but when we both see something like what I'm about to tell you all about it hits us hard considering we LOVE Star Wars, watched all the movies read a few books not complete geeks over it but love it. So we started Two sith warriors both going marauder and doing a lot of damage, but then we decided to try the inquisiter both going assassin and that was amazing, the inquisiter did better than the warrior, that should not be the case.... This was the first problem, now understand we both played WOW for 6 and a half years we know why things are the way things are in MMO's but when your not following the lore and actual story of a game that has lore and story panning long periods of time it hits hard for me and him and most other who love it. Anyway we both agreed that the inquisiter should be doing the second most damage the most damage should be done by the warrior simply because as i said before the Lightsaber is capable of slicing almost anything in half with one swing. so when thats not doing anything close the say death field that the assassin gets then we have a problem. We then decide well maybe the classes that shoot blasters and pistols wont do as much damager maybe they got that right. NOPE not even that is it, I made a smuggler and my father made a Trooper, basically thought he will heal i will dps with our compainions tanking. We get to lvl 10 get our proficiencies, i went gunslinger and he went commando. he heals i dps companions tank....... well we decide to finish everything up and get tot eh flashpoint to really test our damage. on our sith's it took us some time but we got them done died a couple times but got them done. on our commando/smuggler combo no deaths done in 30 min. now let me clarify i also have a jedi consular i got him inot the flash point with three jedi knights, i was healing of course so it wasnt any problem. first boss died 5 times tank coudlnt hold aggro, second boss died 6 times and finally the last boss died 10 times, total 21 deaths four of us jedi's using ligthsabers died 21 times two gun users a trooper HEALER NO LESS, and a gunslinger DPS NO LESS NO TANK WHAT SO EVER CEPT FOR COMPANIONS. no deathes cleared in 30 min killed every single thing not one thing left alive not one. Now hold on the phone just a second guns all of a sudden do more damage and kill faster than a lightsaber, the like ultimate weapon in Star Wars lore, the thing that can cut a human or any alien species in half in one swing and can cut anything with a swing leaving a gash or cut through a door just by sticking in the middle?????? Please tell me why this is. how does a smuggler and trooper clear a flashpoint when four jedi cant. how does force do more than lightsabers all of a sudden and why dont light sabers atleast do some kind of real damage. I do just want to say we both underastand its an mmo not actual star wars, but if your not going to follow any kind of actual lore from star wars dont call it star wars this is just another crappy mmo with crappy damage stats that doesnt know what it wants to be, it has story from Star wars but cant match the real lore of star wars. Sorry for the wall of text i just got really mad when i played my smuggler with my father as the trooper and prety much everything that was problems for us like heroics 2 and 2+ being cake walks. If you could please clarify why this is for me devs, no one else will be able to and if they do and they anwser better then the actual devs of the game that thats stupid and this should not be up as an mmo, instead shut down and re launched on steam or discs as a single player game where it actually has the correct stuff, i would even go for Star wars kights of the old republic damage at least that stuff was balanced nothing being better then the other cept for lightsabers that where slightly better but still not that much.
