So from what i've gathered of this video, the key points for competitive pvp play include but are not limited to: Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you This is indeed very informative and i thank you for your aspiring and deep moving words.

Looks like every healer that pvp's was in that match.

I'm a traitor! i been leveling a gunslinger for the last 6 months. He's level 4.

I solo Q alot so I usually go into a match expecting to lose, but playing to win.

just call him out here n get him blacklisted.

This thread confuses me.

saw a guy named Enragedlemon on the imperial side selling it for 2mil in chat. May wanna get ahold of him.

I was the reason for your 1 death !!

That was definitely a fun hard fought game. Lots of high numbers all around.

After tonight i got the next 4 days off so im hoping my guild will set up some rateds. Im hungry for some healers.

Get the purple skill augs. 12end 18 cunning. You gain more in terms of damage and crit due to the 9% cunning increase from the engineering tree.

Metz has been out for awhile but Assimilation never beat LD-50 in a ranked. We've faced you plenty of times and had some good games, dont think we've ever had a triple cap or 6-0 huttball blowout but you've all won every time. Anyways our guild had to change names due to the server mergers but we are practicing and working on focusing targets and better communication and stuff so one day, who knows, we may suprise you all.

Stop inspecting me, i don't need pvp gear, I only get about 1000 expertise with that, but i get 2000 more hitpoints with my full columni set. ALL RIGHT! I GOT THE HUTTBALL FROM THE STAND!!! now i'm gonna go take this air vent cuz i'm pro and can steer in midair and land on their goal line.

posted twice, sorry

I lol'd pretty hard reading this thread. It really does apply to the terribad imp pvp playerbase this server has. Please read and learn. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=540716

It's true that the imp side has an exorbant amount of bads but i que mostly with my guild and we do fine most of the time. Keep grinding out the comms and get your gear up. I also find playing a better team improves our skill. Dont expect easy wins. You'll find just as many bad pubs from all the bad imps that rerolled.

It will if it's the Saber of a Thousand Truths.

MM has it's advantages, ENG has hits advantages, Lethality has it's advantages. Snipers are lucky to be a class that has 3 specs in their skill tree that can be viable. MM is like people said, a good burst damage spec especially vs healers/medium armor classes. Good for taking out specific targets. Lethality has the ability to bring down heavy armor tanks with it's multiple internal damage dots and cull. ENG is just a all around good single target/AOE spec and the tankiest spec for a sniper, allowing him to survive longer and provide better area deniability. and utility. Everyone has opinions about what spec is best, but it comes down to how you play. Again i've been ENG spec since 3 weeks after launch. It fit's my playstyle of fire and support. I have extra tricks and better shields to keep me alive longer so i can stay in a fight longer and help cap or prevent caps, or to provide a stable jumping platform for my jugg teamate to jump to with a ball.

I find this discussion laughable. I've been an eng spec sniper since i hit 50 about 3 weeks after launch. Most of u dont realize that PP use to persist after death then got changed in 1.2 to cease on death. I play it cuz i can survive longer and play team warzones more effectively. Stopping caps on turrets in alderaan or doors in voidstar. Providing extra utility and area snares in chokepoints. Team pvp isnt about personal glory orhigh numbers....its about team contribution n working toward a common goal. A well geared n played eng sniper is tough to kill and a major asset to any ranked team.

I've been running this hybrid Eng/MM spec for awhile now and find it works very good for burst and AE. You get the added survivabilty of the boosted probe and emp discharge for extra energy. I already have like 39%crit without lethality hence why i didn't put points in it. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#400bsrbdokZrI0roRboM.1

It's a good idea, would be fun, but gotta keep in mind the terrible faction imbalance on alot of servers. Only one faction would literally control the objective every day. Until server mergers happen and more balance is brought in, this idea wouldn't work imo.

Just keep playing, everyone went through this, in some form or another. As you slowly gear up, you see improvements and you survive more n more fights. Then one day you'll be the guy that focus's that fresh 50 in the warzone and remember the good ole days.

As a sniper, i've stacked crit/surge/power with my crit rate self buffed at just under 40%, with crit adrenal/stim i can get it to like 53% crit rate and like 80% surge. Can last 15-25sec, not to mention if you picked up an expertise pack. I've seen crazy numbers, i've literally 2 shotted people with just ambush and followthrough. Getting a string of crits isn't hard for certain classes when the numbers fall into your favor. There are times where i'm fighting and it seems like 2 out of 3 attacks are critting, then other times where i can't get a crit for the life of me. As for the other hacks, can't say nothing about that.

meh, i'd rather see an ability that makes the next 5 attacks auto crit/instant cast/no cooldown. imagine, 5 ambush's in a row. beast.

Ok, so on the rare occasion we get some decent battles on ilum between an equal force of reps and imps, the choppy lagfest is overwhelming and makes it very difficult to enjoy this aspect of the game. Here's a quick fix that will probably take care of alot of that. GET RID OF THE FLASHING MESSAGE ACROSS THE SCREEN! That's right, everytime you kill someone or do something, you get that graphical message that pops across the screen. Now compound this with 50-60 other people fighting and you get graphical and memory lag as it updates for everyone at the same time. Just keep it simple. Update it in the quest automatically and pop the valor gain in chat. That's my 2 credits.
