We know the fix and so does bioware. No tank should be able to wear dps armor. No dps should be able to have tank abilities. Those are called imbalance hybrid for a reason, it has no place in pvp. I agree off heals as well, it's why we have healers, and why we can use a potion to heal. You take away heals from dps and balance around defense where healing isn't involved there fixed. Until both of these are mandated on a fix, we will continue to play Hybridwars.

Thanks to all who read this, let's hope bioware can least understand we need these changes for pvp to survive. I also agree on the valor idea, great idea for sure.

Thread is amazing we have people who disagree, people who want the imbalance and blame off heals, people who try to do math at Evo and lose ect. Bottom line there is a imbalance, so hopefully bioware least skimmed through all of this and gets on gear fixing what we deserve.

I agree with you. Yeah guess it's personal taste, having dots on lighting i don't like either. I want burst not sustained on the spec as well.

God bubble is good for survivability tactic, it's sorcs wall and every class needs one for a hard focus swap in pvp. Think phase walk was pretty op to add as well but whatever. I agree on lighting, I main it, it lacks burst and would like to see it burst like sniper ambush least on thundering blast. Since it's a ramp up should be front loaded burst and you should pay for getting hit by it. Sorc just falls into that hybrid imbalance section where a juggling act to not overdue it has been a bane of swtor, sorc has been gods of pvp most of this games existence...

Do you even play the game? I mean I feel like this is bait so I refuse to knowledge jug in full tank gear and pt in full tank gear is not doing good ATM. Let me rephrase in terms, tank stats are not scaling well in pvp, why you see a **** ton of skank tanks due to it. If you need any evidence, ask top ranked jugs and pts what are they rolling, full tank gear or all dps. Then you decide lol..

I agree with all of it, not explaining nothing. As well as destroying a good system and bringing in bolster.

Nooooo! 😂😂😂

Yes to all of this. I played then and it worked. Problem is they fired so many employees, then decided to bring bolster to replace actual progression, then we had unscaled buck naked people running around lmao. They need to revert to past, but make it simple, 3 sets of gear no. Have one item level for regs and one for ranked. 3 item levels for pve. I mean come on they have all the data in world to do it, and take away the dam handicap called bolster, and let players be control of skill instead of gear or bolster. My opinion I wish gear was irrelevant and global for regs and ranked, but have no clue how a system would work for that. As well like icy said that would make crafters feel useless cause dam game is even bolstered in pve as well..

I mean I see what you mean. Restrictions for ranked needs to happen cause well it should be progressed. Far as not allowing any other gear enter reg warzones it would make it easier to balance classes around what sets provide each class and spec, so balance can be global. They have data on gear so you would think be easy. Far as crafting is concerned should be incentives on crafting for pve and pvp. In my opinion cosmetic purposes for crafting to bring different styles where not only crafting is rewarded for unique crafting, but would make crafting feel useful instead of a wasteful trade. I also see no problem crafters being able to make pvp and pve gear to be viable, hell schematics should be rare finds or earned for both. Bottom line people qq about grind, qq about balance, qq about rng, qq about bolster, qq about pretty much everything known to a mmo experience. And from the history of this game, every qq was heard. Look where game is now, casual rng grind with a bolster system where end game pvp has no restrictions and as well both gear for pvp and pve can mesh together to allow lazy game play to be achieved with no sense of accomplishment.

Still love ap, 3 pt and sorc still is fun. Birdy told me pt may be getting love soon for defense soon. 😁

This is so full of win lmao. Saddens me your right.. 😢

Agree for crafting, after all would be cool if game was made around crafting being viable for end game purposes. Swg aka starwars galaxys crafting was and it was a grind from hell, but the result was amazing. In the end crafting in this game could purpose around vanity cosmetic purposes, but far as statical gain no. My opinion is 2 sets for pvp just limits the balancing act of bolster, and would function better for class balance. I mean with all the parse analysis coming from pve nm mode in 248, they have the data to use for a gear system without bolster rendering the affect. Far as only allowing one specific item level set like 238 only to enter in a regular war zone, make mastery be the target fully. Back before bolster expertise was used for statical output of gear. So with my idea you calculate what a full set of mastery with offhand, relics, it all in 238 and prevent anything higher than full 238 to enter a war zone. With a system in play like that, gear would serve it's purpose far as a balance, then far as nerfs or buffs you just calculate what classes are. I mean again after all they have data to back up gear ratio already. Making only pvp having 2 sets is such a easy fix. Long as they stop catering to the idea that pve and pvp needs to be meshed together, and let pvp have its own identity then this game can go back to it's unique play style.

It ain't that Carthy op ap pt anymore is it. #sadpanda 😂😂😂😂

It used to be called stunwars cause of bubble stun back then also resolve was garbage until they fixed it somewhat.

1. Have starter gear like it used to be, what I mean is you pick your spec what you wanna be at 70 and get a fresh bag in your inventory of starter gear. Make it 238. How to get different gear? Bring back a reg war zone vender. 2. Make PVP regs ONLY 238 or whatever the era is one gear only and balance that. Does that mean bolster needs to be in regs, no because if everyone has 238 you can class balance around that gear to balance dps, heals and tanks. 3. The 238 gear can be used as well for sm raids for your jump start, hm gear to get to nm mode and so on, you know earned. 4. 248 gear should not be used in regs, only ranked. Make it required before you can enter a ranked game you have to be fully geared 248. Yes bring a ranked vender for ranked earned from grinding regs. Do not let nm mode players to enter regs or ranked, seperate both pve and pvp. Only have one vender for ranked. 5. Fix tanks, mitigation for jug and pt need addressed. Sin/shadow having 150% mitigation and shroud and pt and jug not even close is not paper rock scissors, that's rock and other 2 are toilet paper compared. Hence why skank tank meta is here to stay until tanks get balanced to be viable AGAIN. 6. Match making needs implemented, its about time for us to pick healer, tank, dps for regs. System should be put in play for no more stacked specs and classes, aka vs 4 to 5 healers aka vs 3 skank tank and 2 healers. No reason allowing games to be imbalanced over no matchmaking. League of Legends is a example of match making. Let arena have a different diversity meta since after all there is comp vs comp, but not regular war zones, 8 man needs to be fair and not class stacked. Match making will allow balance of attrition and objectives to be meant. 7. Bolster isn't a bandaid for casuals, you took a grind away to allow lazy players to be able to wear whatever in ranked or in raids. It's time you really start thinking about balance around classes again where gear isn't hard to balance around. 8. A repeat, 2 sets of gear for pvp only, pve could be 3. Again pve hardmode or nm mode gear cant be used in reg pvp. 9. Off heals needs addressed, too many hybrid classes able to be tanks as a dps and dps with crazy amount of off healing ability. Mercs is a example of that. 10. Rng doesn't work and is poor example of game design. Bring back progression for endgame. It's why people play mmos, least reason why. Hell even farmville has progression, sim city, minecraft. Summary: Yes people complain about a grind, but end game should never be handed away. If the agenda is to please lazy people then this game will never be balanced. It's about time to start thinking reverting back to way it used to be and was smarter than this era of bolster, rng, and unassembled parts. End game needs to be progressed and earned and balanced around. Js.

I see that.. 😬

I agree with you, but end game pvp should be taken serious when it comes to breaking TOS. Do I think q sync can be stopped, no. Wintrading can and hacking if you fraps, twitch, or YouTube and send a email ASAP on ticket or a dev here. Then problem really isn't all the wintrading, qsync, or hacking, it's the lack of immediate response from this game to deal with the issue so that LEGIT players can enjoy their experience which is why we play this game.

Not sure of your age but you are making a sure resemblance of the best pvp videos from reckful who played Warcraft years ago as a rogue, honestly best pvper who has ever touched a mmo arena wise. From a entertainment stand point your doing amazing on music choice, add more skilled moves explaining what you are doing in your skilled moments and you will be perfect man. You have inspired me to make videos near future for my Assassin and Jug. Cheers mate.

I think we should remove all advanced classes, and have only 3 attack moves. Battle of the 3 buttons!! 😂😂😂

What we know of the history of mmos though, look at warcraft they still after 1000 years cant balance hybrids lol. 😂 Either too much off heals, too many survivable moves, too many ect ect... I like diversity like anyone else, but fact is hybrids have been the bane of balance in pvp in every mmo known in existence.

As always great music man. Keep them coming! 👍

+1 to all of this.

Not trolling, great post and feel same. Also, qsync is strong on harb, always was..

Great post. I disagree match making needs fix ASAP forsure. Utilities for sure needs fixed for tanks and heals to balance things out as well.
