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.

What does it matter? He's moving on...he's been here since launch...he's asking about other games to play.
OP, I'm in the same boat as you (been here since launch with no idea what is out there)...but I'll stick around for now...still having fun doing what I do. I wish you luck.
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.

3 stacks or 0, you and Evo are still wrong. Per tick crit is 5k in full minmax'd dps gear.
For your viewing pleasure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeVEITNYe24&feature=youtu.be
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.
-
I don't give two rusty f's what the tooltip says. I can go in game this instant and record a ten second video showing you that the crits in dps gear are roughly 4-4.2k tops.
stop using it when you don't have 3 stacks.
-
Tell me where to get this magical level 75 gear. Because in my level 60 dps gear it crits for 3.8-4k. But hey, I'm sure everyone believes you blatant lies.
cascading debris base damage is around 9k. +75% from 3 stacks and that is like 16k damage before crits and not counting relic procs.

It's not an insult if it's true. "why should I play X spec when Y is so much better" is called rolling the FOTM.
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.
-
I don't expect people who reroll FOTM to be able to play something that isn't 100% faceroll easy. It's okay, I understand.
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.
-
No one claimed those were "super high" numbers, but no matter how you look at it, doing 40k damage in 5 attacks is pretty solid.
Leaching strike does NOT hit for 8k without crits. I'm fully geared, minmax'd, and augmented, and my non crit leaching strikes hit for 3-4k, 7-8k with a crit. Assassinate also does NOT hit as hard as maul. Assassinate will crit around 7.5-8k whereas maul can go up to 12k. No sh*t deception has less sustained, it's a BURST spec. It's not supposed to pump out Anni levels of sustained. So please, exaggeration doesn't help your case in the slightest.
Hatred of course does more OVERALL single target damage than deception, it's a f'ing sustained spec. But in a short frame of time deception will win out. It's simply how burst versus sustained works, I suggest you look it up. Maybe if you got off the hatred train and actually took the time to figure out how to work 3.0 deception you might be able to kill a wet noodle with it, but I have my doubts.
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.

Sorry for sounding dumb but what is GTN? I am still learning what each thing is. This is my first MMO game.
galactic trade network. its where players can buy and sell from each other.

....................................
Spike (6.7k) -> Discharge (8.5k) -> Ball Lightning (8.2k) -> Voltaic Slash (5k) -> Maul (9-11k)
Seriously, deception is fine. Adapt to the changes, relearn the spec if necessary. It's F.I.N.E.
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".

Where can i get level 55 gear from that charges credit and not commendation's. I went to the fleet to try and upgrade my gear to level 55 and it kept coming up " you cannot afford it"! It is a bit confusing as i have enough credits and Cartel coins.
I think all 55 gear costs basic comm. you'll have to look on GTN if you want to buy with credits.

Well, I have found that posting outside reviews tend to spark conversation that is usually devoid of the sort of personal attacks that most opinion pieces here end up with.
Lately it seems like one of the few ways that I can help folks actually THINK for themselves and post their opinions, instead of trying to kill each other with them...they can direct their ire at the outside review instead, and those that just wish to have a serious discussion can do so.
It is shame that something like this has to stir up this kind of constructive debate, but at this point I will try anything.
I like to read opinions, pro and con. IMO it is a healthy discussion, and helps me to learn and understand different viewpoints.
really? seems every thread you make has the sole intention of stirring stuff up.

We have not had any reply from the devs in regards to the horrible fps lag that has been seen with the launch of 3.0. It's time that we do something to be heard. It's time for them to fix this. I ask that everyone who is feeling like the game is unplayable because of the fps lag stand with me and unsub. If they dont want to respond to the fps problems and/or fix the fps problems then there is no reason for us to play.
/signed
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.
-
Ouch. Well i listen/watch to every cinematic. But this is major set back now knowing these are "dailies" I freaking hate those.... But isnt SWTOR all about having Conversations with Dialogue Options to begin with ?
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.

It has quite a bit more burst. If you define burst as the difference between the sustained damage and immediate damage that a spec can put out, then Deception has almost twice as much burst as Hatred. On live, in 180/186 gear, I was able to burst at 9k dps in Infiltration, while the highest I got in Serenity was about 6k, though neither stayed there for long. The reason this isn't as important is only because health levels have (above level 55) gone up across the board in all content, while burst remained relatively the same.
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.

The "NUH UH RATEDZ R WUT MATTERZ" argument is null in this game. It's okay to admit that.
Also, My argument is not a false one. You assume that I predicate my statement on the notion that everyone who switched to Hatred was a good teammate and played objectives. I am fully aware that this is not the case, and I would hope that you aren't trying to convince yourself that swapping to the most OP thing in the history of this game makes you a better player/teammate
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.
-
Not really.
Play what you like. A good deception is miles and miles better than a number-seeking hatred.
"Sweet damage bro but uh... the objectives are ~~~~>"
It has been my experience that a vast majority of the time, DoT specs (specifically hatred) want to dot everyone and top the boards. Bro, you really arean't helping to win when you break WW or Awe accidentally. L2control yourself.
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.
-
And I laugh at everyone who constantly goes to the FOTM because they're not willing to play the non OP specs.
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's no point in playing a concealment Op over a deception assassin, because of the wide arrangement of utility and burst deception brings.
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.

I'm not talking about other MMOs, I'm talking about this one. And this has zero to do with my alts. Most of them aren't even at 55, and likely will never be at cap because I don't have them for PvP. They are mules for profiteering, as I already stated. I play two toons at cap, so gearing is never and has never been an issue for me, but I don't blindly try to push ideas like "everyone should have to grind gear because I did" mentality. I am other don't want gear to EVER be an excuse for other players not to PvP, and saying it's a non issue or you "need to take your lumps" is again, asinine.
Your issue is that you have a hard time delineating what PvP is versus your archaic definition of MMORPG. Read this closely:
Gear progression in an RPG is a means to be able to complete tougher content in the AI realm. That has nothing to do with PvP. Once you introduce PvP as a GAME MODE (which is genre irrelevant), there HAS to be some tools that balance the playing field for everyone's enjoyment, not just premades, not just gear grinders, not just noobs. MMO PvP has never been popular because of this AND the other issue I pointed out. Otherwise, the game has zero credibility when attempting to discuss who the bad players are versus who the good players are.
I value being able to out meta people ,and the fact is stat disparities make the meta useless in 99% of the cases. You are right though gear doesn't make a bad player good, but it certainly makes a bad player worst. There is no way your lame *** hyperbole can counter that because PvP has failed in this game, with stat disparages being a major factor in it.
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?

No incentive for world PvP?
in PvP
