Taking a break from swtor to play WoW pvp ROFL. Good luck bro. The gear gap between honor and conquest is 30ilvl which is insane. Conquest gear is gated behind rating, so zoomers are paying for carries which means you are playing r1 (Best 0.01%) of players in low brackets. WoW pvp has never been this bad. SWTOR is much more balanced, the classes are designed much better, and the systems are not as horrible to use. Tacticals/Armor sets. Shadowlands (Systemlands) is a nightmare of system upon system to make your character work. Borrowed power everywhere. Making an alt is insanely hard due to the carry and systems gate. In swtor...Some people cry about the lock out which I find hilarious. I think solo ranked is lame because it cannot be balanced. Lack of player base for group ranked is sad. Desync is super annoying. Other than that swtor is a great game.

I think they keep them OP so people will play them tbh. Not really the sexiest class in the game. They are OP. L2P argument is laughable.

I think the hate on Carnage is way overblown and people are just parroting each other. They are literally in the middle of the pack dps wise and only 3% below Annihilation and 0.75% behind fury which is not very much. http://parsely.io/parser/stats PVP wise they have a nuke every 10 seconds with Ferocity, and you can spec for more mobility. Carnage is in a better spot than Vengeance/Rage Jugg and defiantly viable. Charge> Crippling slash> Battering assault> Massacre> Ferocity>Furious Power>The Prosecution buffed Devastating blast > Gore > Vicious Throw. Scary burst.

Awesome man! Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you

What is the recommend crit threshold for each class?? Every guide I see is the same. 1.4 GCD, 110% accuracy, rest crit. There has to be a breakpoint where mastery augments take over crit in value. I guess some specs like lightning and carnage use more alacrity because it goes with alacrity CDs. If you know what the Critical breakpoint is for your class/spec please respond. If it is truly stack crit to 4k let me know lol. Appreciate it!

Even with the spotty implementation the pvp lockout has improved pvp for the good. Games have been much more competitive even when losing. Happy they made it account wide given how easy it is to run alts. Happy there is a lockout.

Super annoying you can't change your tactical before a void star match. Is this a bug?

Solo ranked is just stupid. It is a very stupid concept compounded by the fact that it is poorly implemented. You pointed out some of the reasons. Why would you quit over such a moronic style of game play? Solo ranked rating means nothing. -RNG comp based. -Players can easily throw games. -People purposely queue at the same time hoping to be placed on the same team. For example, its much better for a jugg to play with healers so wait till you can get a handful to queue and manipulate the system. -No brackets. Top rated players can farm noobs which keeps people from even doing ranked. I get why they have Solo ranked. Low ranked player population, but its not a good fix. There are a lot of people that pvp in reg WZ. If you could modify group ranked to attracted these people pvp would be a lot healthier.

Please fix this. It is a super annoying bug, and a large hit to our survivability.

Title. Why dont armors stats stack? If i wanted to wear 2 pieces of 3 different armor sets that each give 2% endurance they will not stack. Very disappointing. What is the reason for this?

Nobody is saying to get rid of said servers. Who said that? Please link where it says Having a 2 NA servers, a German server, a French server, and an English server AND having WZ instance servers are mutually exclusive. I will happily concede then.

LMAO Not my mother, but apparently you are a Bioware employee who is privy to all their plans and capabilities? Ahhh man. hahahaha. Thanks. I think we can hang it up here folks. Its a good thing you were not in charge of NASA in the 60s. We would have never done it. It would have been impossible! Cheers

Its called a discussion. Didnt start well but I think we are getting through it. Its not like you are forced to read any of it. Yeah keep your server numbers and type lol. Doesnt not mean you cannot cross server when in a WZ instance. =P

This is where we are both looking through an empirical lens. I believe this is something that can be accomplished with little harm to quality of life given what i have seen. You believe it cannot be done given your experiences. Really, the only people that can answer this is EA/Bioware. I would hope in 2020 its possible, especially when their competition does this all the time.. I'm an optimist. Timezones is a non issue. There would be a net positive gain regardless. The magnitude of the gain might differ at times but there will certainly be more people at any given point than previously. Are you referring to queuing for specific WZ in the last paragraph? I dont see the harm in the capability. Some people will wait for 45min in WoW for AV to pop because they love it. I highly doubt there will be a scenario where everybody queues for different WZs and nothing pops. Especially after a battlegroup merg. The probable outcome for specific WZ queues will be high queue times because most people will be attracted to the random wz option with the extra prize and option to blacklist their hated wz.

Combine 3 of the 5 servers into one battlegroup SF,SS, and DM. You already conceded DM works because its on the west coast of Europe. The other battlegroup can be TH and TL. I am not ridged. I can compromise. Getting as many players into one WZ pool as possible is the goal. After the pool is expanded the following can be implemented. -Enable the ability to target specific WZ. (This will certainly have a longer Queue time than random. No way around it but at least its an option) -Have a random WZ queue that gives and extra reward. -Have the ability to black list 1 or 2 WZ from the Random WZ list Is this the part of the post where I include some childish Ad Hominem garbage so I feel superior? is that the strategy? It boggels bla bla bla

Is there a reason you keep telling me you have been saying this stuff for years? Not to be rude, but im not interested in that. Not like im going to go back and read all the jugg posts ever made lol. Your other feedback has been good though. Thanks.

Is your hyperbolic gas lighting supposed to be impressive or something? You didnt do anything to validate your position but puke out a bunch of garbage on how you feel. Talk about short sighted. Give me examples. Where did playing on an american server ruin your gameplay experience? Where is it stated playing on other regions is impossible? I gave you an example where playing with people from NZ had little effect on Arena plays (WoW reference). Which is much more intense than BG game play (WoW reference). Also i can link where good american players discuss playing on DM without mentioning latency(swtor reference). This is a discussion thread. Your foot stomping doesnt impress.

I do not see location as a huge road block. I play Arena on an East Coast server while living on the west coast with people playing from New Zealand and Australia all the time on WoW with no issue. My NZ friends report 100 to 200MS latency. Are you telling me there is something especially bad about swtor latency? I wouldn't know. Sorry for all the WoW references but that what I've been playing the most until recently. Also there are already a large number of US players on DM already soo *shrug*

I do believe the deserter buff is helpful and deserved. However, there needs to be more systems in place to dissolve the reason people leave in the first place other than being a quitter. There is no better example to rip off from than WoW.... -Enable the ability to target specific WZ. -Have a random WZ queue that gives and extra reward. -Have the ability to black list 1 or 2 WZ from the Random WZ list Most importantly. Combine all the servers into one large battle group. SWTOR pvp is not healthy enough to have any of the player pools segregated from one another. They are treating the symptom not the cause.

So I've gone back to play Vengeance for the first time since I started playing again.... Paired with grit teeth Its considerably more durable than rage while having more dps. Yes yes I know. "Go try it in ranked." BUT, I've tried to place my self in compromising situations, Attacking a node 1v3 etc, and try to see if i can last till i get my second enraged defense. I spec warmonger to get the 20% brawn wall as often as possible. Its pretty effective. I think greatly reducing the range needed to charge would be a pretty substantial Veng buff. I also found proactively using my DCDs to bridge my Enrage Defense is most effective. Think rage is D tier while warmonger Veng comes up a few notches to B tier. See how it goes in a few weeks. Hopefully they will throw us a DCD buff too. (WoW players rank the classes/specs by S+, S, A, B, C, D tiers. Not sure why but its what I know. http://www.skill-capped.com/content/16186/wow-tier-list/)

Uhh, This is a rage thread, I do use VS for vengeance. If you look, the intent of the OP was to figure out where I was supposed to fit the 3 referenced abilities in a rage rotation. After playing rage for a while.... they are mostly useless. You can use them in your rage rotation all you like though. I'm not your boss.

All my abilities are keybound. I literally never use vicious slash and Assault. By the time i would even get to them there are better abilities back up to use. Waste of GCD. That's what I meant by bloat. I will very very rarely use sweeping slash. 99% of the time I can charge(auto crit buff)>force crush(damage buff)> Rage burst (enrage crush tactile goes off) and Enrage (damage buff) > Obliterate (auto crit buff)> smash. By this time most mobs are dead or its better to hit focus target with something better like furious strike. Shout out to sebakonkol for pointing out my rotation mistake of not getting the crit/damage buff before each Force crush/smash.

I think its pretty close to good, but any mara discipline is better than any of the dps jugg disciplines because their tool kit is so much better. - arsenal merc - concealment op - fury mara - IO merc - lightning sorc - deception sin - AP PT - lethality op - MM sniper - virulence sniper - anni mara - carnage mara - veng jugg - pyro PT - engi sniper - rage jugg - madness sorc - hatred sin

Will there be another balance pass? Hatred sin and dps Juggs could use some help in the survivability dept.

I've tried but I guess my server is dead. They really haven't set up cross server pvp yet? ***.
