This, please. And if you already have to nerf a class, reduce some damage or crit chance somewhere. But changing cooldowns is stupid, because it completely changes a rotation. That 6.0 abomination should never come back.

I do not have what to say without swearing. 2 nights in a row, not a single word from the staff. GG Bioware. 2 nights in a row where I could not do anything meaningful ingame. Good night everyone. See you at tomorrow's episode of "pay for not playing".

So European servers in general?

Yeah, same story again. Fix it please. Evening is my game time. If I cannot be ingame without getting kicked, I have no reason to play and pay.

Seems some people are safe, while others getting DCed pretty regularly. You could try a VPN as temporary solution. I cannot be bothered, going to sleep. Hope they fix it until tomorrow.

Yea, still there. Funny how its not even on the list of "Known Issues". Why fix broken Operation - it is not like the devs are playing them anyway I guess. It has added extra challenge to probably the easiest VM ops (still very much doable on VM), and it is fun in a weird way, but I think it will get old soon. Plus soloing the stairs as healer on SM is a bit more tricky now. Before soloing it was challenge but 100% doable (have not wiped there so far), now I kind of do not dare to try, since the platforming is trickier.

Why would you use Recklessness inside Shadowcraft window? Your Crit is on 100% for those 6s, your Discharge has 3 stacks of Static Charges even without Recklessness. Sounds like a total waste of Recklessness. Mine is Stealth, Phantom Stride (Shadowcraft starts) - Maul - Reaping - Discharge - Ball Lightning. Now Shadowcraft us over, so Voltaic 2x to get +20% crit. And you can start playing with Recklessness and do the priority.

It does work, but only if the Voltage stacks are built with Voltaic Slash. If you use Lacerate, you gain/keep the stacks, but loose the +20% crit. chance. You have to do Voltaic Slash again to get the Voltaic Engine buff again.

Is the Flechette Round refresh from the tactical by using Sucker Punch working for you? Because it is not for me. I had the feeling it used to work before (maybe before 7.2 patch?) but now the Flechette Round simply falls off despite all the Sucker Punches I throw. Is that bug in functionality, or bug in description? If this is intentional, then a) what is the actual effect of the tactical, and b) is that still the best Scrapper tactical? Edit: nevermind, seems to work now. I must have been struck by blindness I guess.

I am writing this topic because of Vaulting Slash and nerfed Energized Blade, but the suggestion applies to other skills/classes as well. If you believe that a particular skill is too strong (we could argue whether Infiltration is overpowered or not, but that is not the point here), please nerf the numbers, but not the frequency at which a skill can be used. Especially for visually pleasing skills. Before the patch I could reset Vault Slash with every force critical. Now I need 2 and there will be still some cooldown left. The spinning jump animation of Vaulting Slash is beautiful, the skill could be rather reliably reset on regular basis with short cooldown (thanks to Energized Blade). That made it one of the main reasons I enjoyed playing Infiltration. The skill itself is basic, it does not do pretty much anything beside the damage, it does not process/trigger anything you cannot process with other skills (there is Absolver at level 23, but that one is mutually exclusive with Energized Blade). So if you believe the damage is too much, do not reduce how often the skill can be used - reduce damage of Vaulting Slash itself if you have to, reduce the critical chance bonus from Blade of the Elements, but please - do not nerf the reset from Energized Blade. I want to jump with my Shadow. Serenity is already very bland visually, please do not take away the visual joy from Infiltration. Give us back the frequent spinning Vaulting Slash.

Yes, I am here since 7.0, you guessed it. And until the patch, I was actually not doing bad, at least on single target bosses like Nefra - I could get relatively close to a Sentinel DPS and be consistently top3 parser in the group. Now I am just nerfed... What is worse, the rotation is broken. I would not mind it so much if they numbers were just lower, but I got to keep my rotation with regularly resetting Vaulting Slash. But now I just have 2 mediocre Force attacks, 2 filler melee attacks, and 1 cool melee attack that I would really like to use, but I have to pray for enough Force criticals 😕 And the fact that the change was completely not announced before, so no one can argue its usefulness, really shows that the devs hate Sins. Also a 6s reduction is a kick in the crotch, because if I do Vaulting Slash, then somehow I am lucky to get 2 Force criticals in row, there is still a bit of cooldown left on the Slash, so I have to use another filler annyway. There is no satisfaction in playing the class now. Even the tank seems more fun, despite Shadow tanks being the laughing stock.

Yes, I have Vision Engine, and yes, I use Clairvoyance stacks for +20% crit. I guess I will need to center my rotation more about Force attacks, even if they are not full processed.

The problem is that the Force Critical is not 100%. Only during Shadowcraft/Force Potency window. So you need 2 force criticals, but you may not even get them. Before you used Force Breach/Psycho Blast, praying that it crits and reset. Now you pray to get measly 6s reduction. Wonderful.

Makes no sense. Take a burst DPS discipline, nerf its burst damage (and even sustained to an extend). Now we have average burst, mediocre sustained, non-existent AoE. And the rotation is just broken, it was kinda complex before, now its just desperate attempt to get Vaulting Slash reset via 6s reduction, GJ.

It was not that great even to begin with. Now not only we dont have AoE, we dont even have burst damage and somewhat decent sustained one. A whole discipline ruined. What a "nice" surprise out of the blue.
