With 600 expertise fighting a fresh lvl50 sage I can do about 50% of their total health in damage after 4 hits. When I meet a character with equal gear, I cannot beat them, regardless of their class. Worst of all, against tank classes and marauders I cannot even take away 50% of their health at all. As of now the only thing we can do is taking out characters on half health who run away from the pack. We can't even go healing cause both mercs and sorcs are better at that too. I don't really understand that we do subpar damage, but have a massively low amount of defense, armor and otherwise survivability all because of stealth, which doesn't give us any real benefit to begin with?

PVP for me atm feels like I'm in a vegas casino and suffering from an epileptic seizure with all this strobe flashing

The problem is not cooldowns itself, but the fact the cooldown notifier is a bright white screen that slowly goes up like a rolling curtain. And that totally blocks my ability to see whether or not I can use certain conditional abilities like the before mentioned lacerate and stim boost.

So this new UI is terrible. I really can't tell whether lacerate, or other abilities that have a certain condition, are on cooldown or actually usable. Please revert the UI back to the previous patch cause it was much easier to see.

I hope they change the requirement for the biometric crystal alloy in the high end biochem recipes, cause I don't fancy having to do hardmore flashpoints for several weeks, hoping for a drop and then winning the roll, to be competitive in PVP.

When will sorcerers be balanced to make the warzones a more competitive battlefield for all other classes?

It doesn't.

Unlike most people that wrote in this thread, Reifier is right. it's a bug. Being in stealth increases your agro range by about 20 meters compared to non stealth.

Problem however is they have two knockbacks and several other abilities to use when tracer is on cooldown after an interrupt.

Slightly off topic but important nonetheless: I'd suggest to get 8 GB RAM, 4 is enough, 8 is fit for the future but 16 is a massive overkill. Secondly get the i5-2500k, the CPU is just as fast as the 2600k, only thing is it doesn't have hyperthreading, which is fairly useless on multicore CPU's. Especially since most applications don't support or use it. Thirdly, as a gamer, go for the GTX580. Running two 560 Ti's in SLI will not even get close to the performance of a single GTX580. The GTX580 will be more expensive, but that's why you get 8GB of RAM and an i5-2500k instead.

So no you didn't

And they also have four base classes and two factions to choose from.

Tracer missile -10% base damage and a lower critical hit multiplier will make mercenaries balanced. It's just a matter of time.

Aion, really? You have never played that game if you make such a bold statement. Abyss and Clerics, nuff said. Anyway on topic: Resolve works fine, most abilities fill it for 50 to 75 percent, a next ability will make it fully white, so you or your target is immune. Thing is most people mistake being rooted from being stunned: learn to use ranged abilities. Secondly some players insist on using aoe CC abilities all the time, Operatives and Marauders especially, learn to save them for when it really matters. Thirdly, resolve fills up just as fast for any other class

They have augment slots, seems a pretty massive upgrade to me.

Sorcs and Mercs are impossible to kill if you meet a skilled player, lucky enough most are FOTM rollers.

5k hit medal? I'm only aware of a 2.5k medal, you sure there is a 5k one?

1. SWG 2. WoW 3. Rift SWTOR comes at place 6 or so. Never played DAOC cause I used to be a console gamer

No you didn't. Hudden strike hits light armor for max 4k now and during our second attack you will get up and be able to fight back right as we can execute our third attack. L2P is what they say

Bioware double u tee eff? The very first warzone I win doesn't give credit towards my daily quest! Rather than fixing this severe issue you broke it even harder, I'm actually seeing lots of reports regarding this gamebreaking issue in general chat as well, whereas before I hardly noticed it. Please issue an emergency patch tomrorrow, I don't even care if it's during primetime cause I rather have my wins actually count for something.

If tracer missile would crit for 2500 max, nobody would have a problem with it. Fact is however, even against my Operative with 520 expertise it easily crits for 3k to 3.5k Additionally they have 2 knockbacks, a snare, a powerful shield that also prevents them from being interrupted /GG

He merely posted facts, I don't see any hate?

Simple reason for this is that Mercenaries and Sorcerers are in fact overpowered. That's why.

Read what I posted: Before anyone asks, this was a Huttball match, solely with Operatives, Mercenaries and Sorcerers.
