cant have open world PVP because the players wont allow it.

no. no point in another round of recruit gear when bolster does the same thing. it doesn't take long to get full set of t1 gear anyway. also, bolster boosts everyones damage and health in WZs. which is done to keep top PVP gear from being too good in PVE. people who are bad in WZs are bad because they don't PVP enough to be good. right now, they blame their badness on bolster. give them recruit gear, they will be just as bad and then blame it on recruit gear.

he's looking for attention like all the other, "booohoooo I quit", threads.

yeah because raiders should dominate open world PVP .

the utility doesn't give 12 seconds of CC immunity. mara's can still leap, jugs can still do their leap push leap as well as leap to teammates. operatives can still roll their way to the endzone. sorcs can still pull teammates. I still get pulled into fire traps all the time. huttball is far from unplayable. just as before, some specs do better than others at certain things, but all have their uses in huttball.

your damage is too low to be full min/maxed DPS gear. im guessing you are in t1 gear? anyway, im in a mix of t1 and t2 DPS gear, not min/maxed and I was getting 5300k crits, over 6k with relic proc, outside of WZ. with damage buff from bolster and actual min/maxed t2 PVP gear I can see people getting 7k+ crits with relic procs depending on the target.

stop using it when you don't have 3 stacks.

cascading debris base damage is around 9k. +75% from 3 stacks and that is like 16k damage before crits and not counting relic procs.

its called having a brain. why keep playing a spec that is clearly underperforming in PVP when you have two other specs that are not gimping your team? again, its not just serenity that is outperforming infiltration.

lol. I understand, you know you have no argument to make so all you have left is silly attempts at insulting people. anyway, im sure you are aware that serenity isn't the only spec in the game that is outperforming infiltration by large margins.

serenity spinning strike crits for more damage than infiltrations spinning strike. I didn't even mention serenity strike( leeching strike ), so what are you even talking about? Ive played infiltration since the game launched. played it from 55-60. played it at 60 while getting my PVP gear. its just a waste in PVP as things are. look, burst is less effective overall in 3.0. infiltration has less burst than it did pre-3.0. after burst( have a hard time even calling it burst ) damage output drops a lot. its also still limited by all short range attacks. its just a poor PVP spec and not only because serenity is so much better. hopefully BW will fix the spec, but as it is now, its just not good enough and you are nerfing your team by taking it into PVP when you could be using one of the other two specs.

galactic trade network. its where players can buy and sell from each other.

you seem to think those are big numbers. they would be good number pre-3.0 but they are pretty meh now. spinning kick does same damage for serenity. sever force does more than 8.5k over its duration, same for serenity breech. vanquish does 8k damage even without crits. double strike does about the same damage as CS. spinning strike does the same as shadow strike. serenity does more single target damage than infiltration. sure, infiltration can get its initial burst( if you can even call it burst ) off quicker, but not really that much quicker. but damage drops way down after that. also, infiltration is all short range attacks. so as you can see, even without factoring in serenity multi-target damage capabilities, its still is more effective than infiltration. if you want to be a dope and not count serenity because you call it FOTM.. then compare infiltration to some of the other DPS specs. then come back and try to sell, "infiltration is fine and still a great choice for PVP".

I think all 55 gear costs basic comm. you'll have to look on GTN if you want to buy with credits.

really? seems every thread you make has the sole intention of stirring stuff up.

they have already said they are working on it. on Fridays stream, tate said that they think they have found the problem that is causing it and are testing the fix.

game is going to be just fine without you. bye bye.

this was talked about on one of the streams. they wanted the main questline to be the focus of the cinematics and voice acting. , keeping the side/daily quests simple meant they could spend more of their time/budget on the main stuff.

burst didn't remain the same with middle tree. BW took burst and replaced it with sustained damage. so even if health/damage ratio had stayed the same as pre-3.0, middles tree would still have less burst.

ill trade cloak of resilience for focused defense.

being a good teammate has nothing at all to do with what spec you happen to be playing. well, unless you chose a spec that is clearly the weakest which nerfs your team. if you are a good teammate playing deception then you'll be a better teammate playing hatred.

an average hatred assassin is more valuable in rated than a great deception assassin. plus, you argument is a false one. if you are good in WZs and play objectives as deception, then you still play objectives as hatred, except you are not nerfing your team by sticking with weak deceptions spec. and really, its not as if there aren't any deception assassins off looking for 1v1s far from objective points.

i don't laugh when i see infiltration shadows on my team... i cry because i know they just make it harder to win.

there is no point in playing deception assassin at all. their burst got nerfed a lot, plus combat changes in 3.0 makes burst less effective overall. only viable assassins for PVP are tank spec and DOT spec. deception just gimps their team with ineffective burst, poor sustained damage and lack of range.

oh, only this MMORPG counts? why? because its so vastly different from other MMORPGs? surly you can go find me an example of a MMORPG that uses "the no gear option" and is so successful because of it that it is as popular as COD is. since that seems to be your standard. COD numbers or its a failure and unpopular, lol. MMO pvp has never been popular? really? ive played many MMOs were PVP was very popular. even MMO's that didn't have any PVE servers at all, all servers were PVP. all had larger gear gaps and longer grinds than TOR has in PVP. war thunder and world of tanks are MMO's, not MMORPGs, but they are PVP and have much worse "gear" grinds than TOR does. both are pretty popular though. just because MMORPGs attract a lot of players who don't like PVP doesn't really mean MMORPG pvp isnt popular. BW can give everyone the same gear and its not going to change much at all. bads will still be bad. new players will still get stomped. PVEers who just PVP once in a while will still get crushed by PVPers who PVP all the time. PVP failed in this game? really? ive been PVPing since the game launched. i PVPed today. WZs pop all day long. during prime hours rateds pop over and over. i guess PVP has failed in every other MMORPG as well? because you say so?
