  1. Yes 2/3 Tanks are fine. Juggs are not. I don't have "trouble killing you" I am one of you. Why are 7/8 tanks in wz juggs? Why do juggs have 4 hp bars while sins have 1.6? Why do jugg tanks in dps gear do a good amount more damage than sin tanks in same set up while also being a good deal more survivable? Why do we have things like AOE Obfuscate for 6s at the end on intim roar? This is bs sins and PTs can't compete.
  2. Jugg tank nerf when??? zzzzz Sins and PTs are fine.
  3. Returning player. Title says all. Answer only if you're familiar with what I'm talking about. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=7826333 based on this when I played years ago it was something we all did.
  4. If you want lift u sacrifice 5s shroud. No way are you casting whirlwind in grp ranked. Pushback through guard alone makes it at least a 4s cast. You have 4 mezz's in a meta hard swap comp (2 awes, lift & flash). If you shroud off a mezz it gets called and you get mezzed 4s later. 5s shroud (giving up lift btw) every 40s is hardly "able to avoid being cc'ed much more effectively than any other tank.". It helps for sure but remember sins are constantly rotating through their DCDs just to survive guard damage, which includes shroud. I've seen you on your scou/op and merc/mando. Not sure how much sin/jugg tanking you've done recently. Swapping isn't the problem. You can guard swap all you want, spike, stun, kb, pull etc. Nothing stops that. The issue for sins is how much it effects our dps to go outside of building stacks of harnessed shadows/darkness for CD/DV. These stacks come from project/shock and st/wither. CD on shock can be reset with melee attacks on a 30% rng chance. The long and short is a system built for and which works well in, PvE, where you can rotate through specific abilities, doesn't work that well with the normal interruptions and varying conditions in PvP. This wasn't a big issue pre tank nerfs as sin tank damage was too just too good. All tank damage was. With well played sin always out damaging well played juggs and neither jugg or sins could touch pt tanks cleave game. The damage sin tanks had vs juggs at that time was still decently balanced, given juggs are passively tankier in PvP and against most comps has better DCDs. TLdr: In PvP, tank damage nerfs didn't effect Jugg's dps as much as it did the other two tanks, along with a buffed ED/FD that came with the same patch, put the class clearly ahead.
  5. Thku! Applies to both roles and PvP so yes it's appropriate.
  6. Shielding crits change never happened. Devs couldn't get it to work properly on pts so was excluded from 5.9.2.
  7. Shadows tanks are great in regs where it's a bit of a mish-mash anyways. I don't have an issue there, usually top prot and better dmg than 90% of the dps on my team. In solos and 4s where you are constantly swapping guard/peeling against GOOD players. Sin tanks: A) die through guard dmg. B) your output is significantly reduced due to having a stack building rotation for your big hitter (Cascading Debris). Any GCDs spent doing something other than Slow Time, Project, DS/lacerate to build stacks for cascading debris you delay your main heavy hitter. That means every guard swap, every kb root, every pull, every spike delays CD/DV. Imagine if you had to build 3 stacks using Blade Storm/Force Scream and Reposte/Retaliate, and Saber Strike or Sweeping Slash had a 30% chance to reset the cd of BS/FS BEFORE you could use Guardian Slash/Crushing Blow. Also tie 4% of your dmg reduction to whether or not you can build those stacks and use GS/CB. Currently you just GS/CB every 10s regardless of what you need to do in between. The part about defending to keep up dps is just our force regen mechanic. Parry/dodge/shield replenishes our force which isn't a problem since we always have guard on someone being hit. PTs are still good/BiS for pressure comps pull+carb/oil slick and slow/trauma on flame sweep complement dot/cleave so well.
  8. Strictly from a PvP perspective: Before the tank damage nerfs all three tanks were somewhat on equal footing. Since said nerfs jugg tanks are indisputably on top. Jugg tanks are 90% of what you find in solo ranked. Jugg tanks are the go-to for hardswap comps in 4s. PT or Jugg are your go-to for pressure/cleave. Jugg tanks need to be nerfed or sins/PTs need to be buffed.

  10. To which i might add... isnt fun anyway. If the whiners in this thread wanted competetive pvp without objectives , they would do 4s.
  11. Tsk* No love Tig. No love.
  12. Im going to have to drop cuz last minute work over the weekend.
  13. Cheers and thanks for the interest! I saw the vid. Bluntly you have some work to do. I recommend you read krea's serenity guide here as a good starting point: http://dulfy.net/2016/01/02/swtor-4-0-serenity-shadow-pvp-guide-by-krea/: And also watch this serenity video guide here: You should take these guides as a starting point and make them your own and adapt them to your play style. TRDL: guides are not the end-all be-all of how to play. Im always down to help too. You can find my main "Shade" mostly pubside, by searching "forty" in /who directory. Good luck. P.S. for everyone else: I need to change my sig!

  15. Really they just need to apply a basion type buff for carb/neural for 10 seconds so it cant be double stacked. PT/VG need it for anti-focus/peel.
  16. Why would you want to make (improper comp=proper comp) given equal skill? It should aways be (proper comp>improper comp). Otherwise u completely marginalize 1 of 3 basic roles in the game.

    Guardian DPS pvp

    The meta has changed a lot since season 6 especially with the change to crit rating. Focus/rage probably has the hardest hitting melee burst in the game atm (debatable vs pt/vg but resets more frequently). And with the crit changes its more consistent.
  18. This thread is pure gold and full of l2p. Sh^t Im out of popcorn.
  19. Holy sh^t welcome back dude. Good to see ur still playing.
