I really wish they had nerfed kolto waves over nerfing recuperative and surgical probe... this is a straight up nerf for operative in group ranked without any burst healing benefit whatsoever considering that good teams will not let you cast the new bursty kolto infusion. Also discouraging is the nerf to TA generation which will cut down on how many surgical probes you can use, which is another nerf to operative burst healing bc it's one of the few instant bursty heals we have. Tldr this doesn't help operative burst healing in group ranked at all while nerfing the sustained

Obviously Taylor swift what kind of question is this ? And why is everyone else answering wrong

LOL i remember him complaining about you kiting haha grope rinked merc hps too but only 10.4k hps tho because fitz is apex merc <3 https://imgur.com/a/9SGXp

The operative and sorc nerfs are both rougher for those classes in pvp, and merc is still tankier than any other healer class.

The issue with three of the four tank stats is that they don't work very well. For instance, defense only works against melee/ranged white damage, which wasn't too much of a problem until Bioware decided that EVERY tank mod would now have defense. Shield and absorb are linked together, and both are kinda worthless because you can't shield critical hits, and the average crit chance these past few expansions has gone from 20% ish to 40-45%, making both shield and absorb a lot less useful. The only tanky stat left of you really want to be a meat shield is just to stack endurance for more hp, since that works against crits and yellow damage.

As a healer this thread made me feel victimized for who I am

Just because you spam the forums with your opinion of what a tank should do doesn't mean bioware or anyone should pay attention to you. If you want to actually look at class balance look at sniper 5.0 healing utils and ruthless aggressor.

Why should tanks not be allowed to dps? While I agree tank stats aren't very enticing and should be buffed, I don't see why it's a "fact" that tanks should be purely protection bots who guard and taunt. That is an extremely boring play style. On the other hand, exceptional players can showcase their talent on tank classes right now by not only correctly managing their tools for protection and cc, but also maintaining high damage while doing that. I think your proposal would dumb down the role, and I'm not sure that's as good of a thing as you seem to think it is. TL: DR Please stop calling your opinion of what a tank should do in pvp a fact

Acid is pretty rare since the sorc nerds. Unless you actively try to offheal etc to draw it out to acid

Koality told me to post in here

Calm down mate. It's a game forum discussing changes that haven't been released yet

Have you tried like... reading your posts? Also, I truly hate to break it to you, but on a public forum people make posts. I know, it's so strange that someone would do such a thing. But there you have it

Yes. I made a "sarcasim". Wasn't really third person though

Doc and hottie have been discussing marauders, you've been launching personal attacks on them. So..... k then

That post was directed at grim not you. I just quoted that cause I wanted to highlight one forum person telling another to keep saying carnage isn't a dot spec xd

Hate to break it to you fam but the only butthurt person here is you

Yes grim keep telling yourself carnage is secretly a dot spec and all the 2k plus rated players have it all wrong

I was about to link that

Um. Sorc heals and merc heals might be better if you're doing regs or something but operatives are very strong in places like group ranked. Look at someone like poison who can be interrupted nearly every time and still be able to break 10k hps with just his instants. Merc heals are much easier to shut down, and they honestly just lack the output in a sustained sense. Save ccs for when they pop their immunities and simply interrupt when those abilities aren't running. And sorc heals... well. They weren't amazing at healing pressure before and that's just gotten worse

Stim boost now grants interrupt immunity.

Meh I would be wary of buffing powertech too much considering how obscenely powerful carb is
