Hard pass on this idea, thanks. If you want to gear up for PvP, PvP for it. If you want to gear up for PvE, PvE for it.

Sounds a little personal...

I dunno what kind of healers on what kind of team you're going up against, but unless you're playing WZ in Ranked gear against people who are mentally deficient to the point where they can't bathe themselves and are in 186 PvE gear, you're not globaling anyone as Carnage/Combat. The burst is no where near where it was pre-3.0, and our ability to stay on target is wishy/washy at best against halfway competent players.

I played 5-10 WZ last night on my Sentinel and came in close to top for objectives nearly every game, capped nodes, capped hypergates, stole an enemy node or two, stun/mez comboed huttball carriers in fire burners or whatever on the Nar Shadaa huttball map, and got a grand total of 2 mvp votes the entire time, and they both came from 1 Novarre Coast map. Stop crying about it and expecting to get a pat on the back.

Myself and a few other guys in my guild came over from PoT5 a while ago. I remember you and your guild. Are you bringing the entire guild over or are only some of you coming?

Melee needs ways to close gaps to deal with the innumerable ways ranged have to create gaps. Whether those ways are stuns, mezzes, roots, speed boosts, whatever the **** that Blessing of Freedom equivalent PTs get, melee has to have a way to either negate it or close the gap despite it at least most of the time, otherwise you get a game whose PvP meta is dominated by ranged and stealth control classes. While I agree with you that ranged should not be forced to fight at melee range all the time, at least ranged classes have the option to continue to use most if not all of their abilities within melee range, whereas melee classes are straight boned if we can't get - and most importantly stay - within range.

bruh.jpg I play a Combat Sent and an Infiltration Shadow (the mirror to deception) and despite the fact that my Shadow is significantly less well geared than the Sent and I'm less experienced on it, I still perform way better. And even if I didn't as Infiltration, there's still Serenity, which is stupid good.

Being a Mara and trying to take anything on these days is difficult.

When I vote, which isn't all the time, I vote for the following groups in this order People who call Incomings People who stay at nodes and defend Tanks Healers DPS.

I'd like to meet a Sent who knows what they're doing and learn something from them, see what I'm doing wrong, consider me signed up if there's a sent instructor.

Much care. Very give a ****. So compliment. Wow.

I've got 2 60s now, my Sentinel and my sage, and I've played them both as pretty much pure light side. I'm going to take advantage of this and level a pure dark side Jugg and since everyone raves about the Agent, I'll do one of those story lines as well, as well and a smuggler and a trooper, probably. I honestly have had 10 years worth of "enough" with the "Go here, kill 15 of these things we need dead, then come back so I can have you kill 10 of the slightly stronger version of what you just killed 15 of" quests while leveling. BioWare has done a good job with the class stories IMO, since this is the only game I've given half a **** about the story lines, so I look forward to seeing them all.

Well crap.

Amen to this. I would love for Wedge to be brought back, or mentioned somehow, Dennis Lawson is still alive and working, so there's not like that's an impossibility. Edit: Lawson is also apparently the maternal uncle of Ewan McGregor, so, you know, there's that too.

That's because probably 95% of the ideas are actually absurd or general QQ about something or other.

I'm leveling my sage right now, and I've had 0 issues with packs of low level mobs.

I started on PoT5, and recently came back and server transferred with some old guildies of mine to The Ebon Hawk. It makes me a little sad to hear it's basically dead

I'm getting pretty sick of Revan, to be honest. I killed him once, that's enough for me, I don't want to see a mess of wannabes running around with his armor. It's stupid to have hundreds of players look exactly like of of the most powerful force sensitives in history. Leave some stuff to the story.

There's no spammable ability 4 juggs can use to completely lockdown an area like force storm; you're completely missing the point. It was never "oh noez, 4 enemies working together are supes effective guyz! Wat do?" It was that 4 sorcs, using literally 1 ability that was effectively endlessly spammable were able to control entire areas of combat, forgoing CC, focused fire, or pretty much anything like teamwork other than collectively casting FS in the same general area.

Smash was nerfed, pretty heavily too I might add; I can't speak to MV/DFA as I don't play those classes. If Smash/Force Sweep does more damage than Force Storm does now (I haven't compared them at max level yet since my sage isn't there but I doubt it), then that's understandable since it's a melee ability that requires you to close the distance between yourself and your target, and is on a 15 second cooldown and affects a frontal cone. Mortar Volley is also on a cooldown and has a 5 meter radius. Force Storm/Quake has an 8m radius, castable from 30m away and is spammable; the abilities aren't even comparable. No, there is no 11th commandment of gaming that says "Thou shalt not cast an AoE against a single target" however spammable AoEs (and even AoEs on cooldowns) should not be strong enough to make their way into single target rotations.

Force Storm used to cost 100 energy, so a sorc/sage could cast it 6 times before they ran out of mana. With the old snare attached to it, enemy teams could and would - at least in regs - coat an area with it and just laugh at you. Further, explain how an AoE should be so powerful as to be included in a single target PvE rotation, which was the case with Force Storm (With recklessness) prior to 3.1.2. Force storm was far too powerful.

Yea sure, with direct damage spells.

Were there any minutes from the 5 April meeting?

That's the rub. I seem to spend most of my time on my sent CC'd or slowed in some way by something, so when the old FS would come out I could reliably say gg to a good chunk of my HP, especially when leap is on CD.

Do you even play melee?
