Ranked always was a cesspool going back to RWZs. If you want to que ranked, just que up. Majority of the "ranked" players now are a joke. Only reason they achieve any rank now is because most of the good players have quit.

If you're looking to just sit and dps, go SS. But no matter what spec you go, you have to reset dampers and use instant charged burst every 6 secs if possible. Slinger/sniper is all about positioning, and awareness. The ability to kite for space helps a lot to. As for stats its all personal choice, no accuracy or 105% (you canget something like 104.w/e with 2 enhancements and comp bonus). For crit I go around 35%, alacrity 6-7%, rest power. I switch my stats around a lot, depending on spec, 4s, solo, reg, or reg premade. But this is a decent general outline. Rotation, is vital shot, charged burstx2, trick shot, aimed shot, trick shot, pen rounds, trick shot. Always keep vital shot on target at 30% or above if possible. Below 30% not worth it, just execute, and trick shot. Haven't played tor in over 2 mos, so I am have used the wrong skill names. But again sniper/slinger is all about awareness and position. Also use crouch, never use roll into cover, see so many people use it

Same sorc called me a "hacking b***h.

After a couple hours of pvp, I surprising am starting to agree with you. tried having a talk with a couple members about farming, triple capping, etc of pugs. And I'm disgusted with them.

Unless I'm mistaken you're Wørd the sage, and in a guild (or were couple days ago). I understand the mechanics of each wz. When I choose to "chase numbers" its because after rated 8s, playing objs every wz gets old. I respond to most incoming calls, also have enough awareness to see if someone is in trouble. Just because I (or we) choose not to play to the top of your ability every game, doesn't mean we can't. Really what this thread is coming to sound like is that pubs' "pvp egos" are bruised. They were use to autowins every wz, no matter how bad said pubs actually are. We transferred here for ranked, not to farm regs. Some of us may run their mouths, myself being one of the worst. But that is habit from the environment of pot5, and/or bastion. If people wish to group or learn from us, most of us are willing. There's really no point in the back and forth in this thread.

Not many guilds on this server can give us a good run. The times we are playing objs, and playing another good guild. It comes down to the other 4 players on each team. (and yes, we are "usually stomping". Your guild has literally no players in it that can carry.)

Kickball rated is forming an Ops group, having captains pick players. Like one would for kickball in school. Hence "kickball rated". Gives people who don't normally do 4s a chance to try. Basically just 3 dps and 1 heals.

Before people start accusing us of "turtling". Learn what you're talking about. We group with whatever class a member wishes to play. We do lose in regs, but objs are secondary usually. Spawn camping happens all the time, don't act like its just us. Very few people can say they don't do it. HaLeX, before you give an opinion on who we are. Maybe try looking at the roster. We're made up of members from tyrant, samurai pizza cats, ibl, and some others. 95% of us do ranked. In fact we just did 3-4 hours of kickball 4s with different guilds.
