Is it possible your system does not meet the recommended specs?. Try lowering your video settings to the lowest possible?.. etc..

They did say there will be combat logging however not in game but instead logging straight to an output file which u can read after words. Someone can definitely parse this info and incorporate it into some kind of app, real time will depend on how the game works with the info. of course i would love to see a combat log in game as well

If your talking about boss encounters where you need that major dps then dish out everything you can all tanks need to do is use their taunt and their back ontop of the aggro table...

u can easily down healers with 2 people, just need to time your interrupts with your teamate. There needs to be communication for this to happen and seeing as there is rarely any in pugs this rarely happens.

i agree that i dont like same faction pvp either. Will they also mix reps + imps on one team?

Compared to a DPS class wearing heavy armor you do have more survivability just off the fact that you have much more utility. Compare your survivability to assassin deception spec, yours is 10x better. You even have more survivability then PowerTechs and they wear heavy armor, your survivability compared to medium armor is definitely higher. Not even looking at tanks because of course they tank better then you since their mitigation is a lot higher plus they get a armor buff when in tanking stance, but their damage is also no where near on par with yours. The damage to survivability ratio on sorc's is pretty high up there, especially for a dps class the off heals help out with that a lot as well.. The difference that kills me is the survivability of any sin without dark charge vs the survivablity of sorcs any spec, there is a huge gap there. You even have more survivability darkness tree sins with dps spec and there have been people crying about them lately. PS: even without the stun after bubble you still easily can survive till your next bubble is up. This being true even with 2 people focusing you, although chances of surviving till your next bubble of course go lower a bit.

compare your OP class with a deception spec'ed assassin when it comes to survivability. They also wear light armor and damage is about equal.

your forgetting if your properly specced into that bubble you also stun people when it pops, and then you have your other abilities to slow them, root them and run away while ur bubble CD finishes.

might aswell have heavy armor and no bubble u would be more squishy! edit: enough said

not to mention the lore for SWTOR has nothing to do with whats already written, its 3k years before any of that stuff therefor no one knows what the hell happened and what was plausible.

lets correct that, the other 2 specs are underpowered. This has been a given for a while now. Compare it with every other class in the game.. The DPS is on par yet survivability lacks compared to every other class..

and that is the problem there, the survivability is whats lacking on the other specs, however the damage is there. If they nerf darkness survivability then the class itself becomes broken. Because survivability on darkness is not anywhere near OP is simply acceptable, and still goes down pretty quick if ur running full dps gear.

I have to agree with most people on here, you probably see higher results in DPS at the end of the match for these specs and that is simply because of the survivability. They are more consistent damage as they do not die as much as a sin running around with surging charge ( i believe thats the one u spec in vs lightning charge could be wrong cant think of it right now). However to say they are over powered is a bit of a stretch. If you can jump into a fight and 1 v 2 people with equal gear thats a different story. However with this spec if the other player is of equal gear usually it is always a close fight unless he doesnt know what he is doing. Forget about 1 v 2 as you will get shredded before you even get a third glance at your HP. Truth of the matter is they give up survivability for that DPS, by not wearing tank gear you are giving up absorption rating and health. My health in full champ dps gear is 16k someone running full champ tank gear is running somewhere near 20k and not to mention the additionally defense chance + absorption. There a plenty of other classes which are far worse then anything any sin can pull off. For instance sorc's are one of them, they are insanely OP they can do tons of damage from range and have intense survivability. Pyro tech's get heavy armor and still run around bursting the **** out of people, infact the most OP class in the game with 90% armor pen and a free CD reset on that ability as well.

at first i was like ehH nothing new. Then i seen, jump onto ledge in huttball without using the air vents!!! WOOOT that is fkinn awesome ty.

Lol you dont know where so you come to the Plaver vs Player section :-/ They do need to fix this but that is PVE not PVP
