Team work > gear in war zones
Gear is not your problem...
That merc that shoots down into the pit while standing on the edge of the goal area.... HE IS YOUR PROBLEM.
That keyboard turning, mouse clicking guy that plays in 1st person because it feels like Skyrim with light sabers... HE IS YOUR PROBLEM.
That guy that shows up in columi gear because he wanted the 360K credits... HE IS YOUR PROBLEM.
That marauder that is no where near an objective and scouts for 1v1 fights.... HE IS YOUR PROBLEM.
The sorcerer who is spec'd heals but spends the entire game camping the one owned node casting consumption and healing himself... HE IS YOUR PROBLEM.
The assassin who spawns in from start and finds somewhere to cloak and hide to farm coms putting you in 7v8 fight... HE IS YOUR PROBLEM.
Sometimes these guys are on your team... sometimes they're on the other team.
I play A LOT of regular war zones... and yes, it sucks to go against BIS opponents while wearing half recruit gear. It's going to be a long few days.
My point is... if you put these bad players in BIS gear and put a competent team against them and put them in full recruit. You'll see very quickly that gear is not why you're getting rolled.
Couldn't agree more. I've always liked the way it is. Those that grind PvP hard reap the rewards and every once in awhile you get to pick on the new guy. But if they change it to allow the stat difference to not vary so much from geared to fresh 50's then I'm cool with that too because there is still gonna be bad players in PvP. Geared or not it doesn't change how they play.

Yup happens to me too. Another one is when a op cloaks the group I sometimes never come out of stealth. I think ppl see my weapons but not my sexy body.

#5....
Ok so I'm not losing my mind!! I've seen so many times where I smash someone with less then 3k health and I hit them for 5 or 6k and they don't die.
My thought to this is protection. However I don't know if that is the case? If there is protection does the numbers that show up indicate the hit to that target or total damage dealt to that target and person guarding?
Idk.
Edit: my other mention to this is they are spec into reduced aoe damage. If so my question above still applies.

AP is like Rage spec. It's fun and puts out numbers but when it comes I ranked its a joke. Unless you have two or three people running AP or in this example (rage) then it doesn't help. You need the front end burst damage of pyro.
-
When I win it feels good and when I lose I want to break anything with in hands reach. When I stop feeling these emotions ill be done with the game. Not happening any time soon.
I crack up when ppl post on the forum they unsub. Sure you did.

I don't think the Rage spec is overpowered overall. But Smash is certainly out of balance. The main issue with Smash is the Auto-Crit. To make matters worse, it's a simple 4-button rotation to make your Smash smash and only slightly varies based on the uptime of Berserk.
My Marauder is geared half WH/BM with a EWH mainhand. His Smash is pretty much guaranteed to deal 5.5-5.8K per target in AOE damage. Now the actual damage that is delivered depends on the opponent and their defenses. However, I can't think of a skill in this game that is this powerful and so easy to nearly spam.
Balance becomes a real issue in builds. Since players can count on an Auto-Crit, there is no reason whatsoever to gear for Crit. Instead of gearing for Crit, smart players are stacking Power and Surge. Whereas every other DPS class needs to balance the trifecta Crit/Power/Surge, Rage speccers only need to pump up Power/Surge which results in more inflated Smashes.
You're wrong. They do listen, more so then they should. From the beginning here...
People complained bout operatives - nerfed
People complained about sorc heals - nerfed
People complained about powertechs - nerfed
People complained about rage build - buffed
People complained about deception - buffed
People complained about sorc heals again - buffed
You can't please everyone but they are trying to. Don't like the game then stop playing.

I upgraded my main hand to the elite piece on my maurader and noticed a increase in my crit hits with smash.
-
It should also be said that you need to use the abilities in Overpower to reduce the cooldown of smash...that's big.
-
Someone told me you can now que for reg wz and rated and if you are in a regular wz game it will pop the rated wz que during that regular wz. Is that correct? Seems to me it is not, why would they encourage half a team to leave a regular wz?
-
I understand the class needed a nerf and that is all fine with me. I always agreed that PT's are OP. But making the PT a pure melee class is lame. For one, I have a pistol....I know I don't have a lot of skills with the pistol but I DO have a pistol and that to me means ranged DPS.
Second, we are melee class and unlike Sins, mauraders & operatives we do not have a stealth or a way of coming in and out a combat.
If you are going to nerf the class then nerf the damage. This has got to be the most oddest way to nerf a DPS class that carries a pistol...
-
Hey peeps, is the rotation listed on Noxxic for rage correct? I don't run rage but gonna try it now since the buff.
-
Nicely done. Can you share your gear setup? Do you by chance have it on askmrrobot?
Are you stacking power?
I've just got my marauder into full WH and running anni atm but I do like carnage as well.
-
Yes you get wz comms and ranked wz comms now for PvP gear. Daily and weekly missions increase the amount of comms you get. Wz comms are traded in for ranked comms on a 3:1 ratio.
-
TELL ME WHEN DID THEY SAY WE WILL PUT THAT IN 1.4? NEVER THEY SAID THE NEW RAID the new wz is coming the next patch and i think the ship missions too
Calm down kid

Resolve sucks
in PvP
What cracks me up is they are fixing it but not in the way people complain about resolve. Most people complaining about resolve are actually complaining about how much stuns, knock backs an roots that happen to them. Well just wait until the new patch that comes out when resolve DOESN'T build as quickly. Lol oh this is gonna be a fun one for sure. -
I use power augs and tweak gear toward power too. My railshots hit for around 5k, low 4k and highs are 6k.

Republic PvP
in PvP
Strange. I played almost all day yesterday on my 50 marauder. (had the day off). I won 3 games all day on him. Every loss was to a pub team and a few from imps too. I solo q'ed all day. I think
Solo q'ing has a lot to do with it. When my guild got on and I played on my PT were won almost every time.
-
I tried this, not sure if I set it up correctly so wanted to ask here. Using Unleashed I selected Add DiskCasheArena and Add LocalApp. I also selected Dynamic and FX. I really have no idea if this is how you set it up so let me know.
Any way I'm using a SSD drive and after seleting these settings and clicking the SWTOR UNLEASHED button I saw absolutely no improvement in game play or load times.
Any help would be great. I just want load screens to load quicker then what they are now.

5K hits pretty much every game with some 6K hits every now and then. Biggest hit 8647 with RS. Probably some fresh 50 that I hit with pvp buff, etc. My current stats are a little bit better since the big hit but not much different.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say your team 3 capped from the start and held it the whole time? Am
I correct?

Lets not forget:
FOTM: flavor of the month

I do plan on trying the other two builds and I know this class is very gear dependent. I was fortune enough to have 4 pieces of WH and 3 BM as soon as I hit level 50. I was grinding the vindicator gear on my PT and sent the gear over through legacy gear. It was a nice jump start. Just 5 days in now and I'm 6 WH, rest BM minus two recruit pieces
-
Lol what's wrong you don't want to grind it out because you're late to the party? So what! Do you realize how much modding goes on with gear in PvP? I like this setup. Those willing to do a little checking around can benefit from their tweaks. Like my PT is using non PvP shells for a bonus to RS.
-
That probably got your attention because it's the attitude of marauders! LOL
I hit 50 about 5 days ago and been studying builds. A guild member told me now that I'm
50 you will hear how everyone else thinks they are the best marauder and the build they run is the best one in PvP. So true so far. Lots of attitudes in this game!
Just the other day a marauder was talking about how he can crush anyone with carnage and it's the best one of the bunch. I'm rage ATM. So knowing my build some I thought I'd ask why he thinks it's better than annihilation. He's response was "idk why I've always been carnage" lmfao!!! I had to just keep my mouth shut.
Why are ppl like this? Does it have something to do with the fact all builds are damage?
It was a nice jump start. Just 5 days in now and I'm 6 WH, rest BM minus two recruit pieces

I read that Daniel Erickson has "left the building". Lead writer for swtor.
What's your thoughts? Could this be a good thing?
