I'm not suggesting it come with the augments themselves, just the MK-9 kits. I did say re-augment above so I wanted to make sure I was clear now. As it stands, all it's doing is keeping me from buying stuff off the cartel market. I'll never buy a new outfit off the market that I have to turn around and dump hundreds of thousands into just to make it function like my current one. Perhaps someday when they pay us something worth a crap for warzones.

This. It'll be ages before I ever get it lol.

Yeah, thats why I lol at all the new outfits Bioware puts out. As if I'm going to pay to re-augment a new set of gear on top of spending CC on it. They should all come augmented with MK-9 kits by default.

No luck with the copy/paste thing, and yeah, we use internet exploder. well maybe a bomb or two, but surely not all five. I'm not going to go out of my way to cry for a self nerf - I do understand the counterargument with smash and spreading out. I just unequivocally want the jumping/roll exploit gone ASAP. If Bioware says "rolling bombs into a wall is legit" then I mean hey - at that point I'll defer to what respected folks in my server community seem to think. I'd rather lose and have a good personal reputation then the opposite. I'm generally a good person in real life, and this game, besides some occasional trolling for entertainment purposes, is something I've never aspired to be any different...

Wow, you'd have to be a serious degenerate with a gambling habit to actually enjoy something like that. Now, if they ever implemented pazaak, that's different

we has a taunt button?

Well when they do the voidstar backwards thing, that's just as worthless. Unless it's someone in your group guarding/calling, then you know he's not a directionally challenged idiot.

I can't connect to anything in your OP here. I'll have to try and remember to do so from home.

LOL, I'm guilty of this. I'll go west/east in VS....but still use snow/grass in CW> Although the greater offense is when idiots defending in voidstar get left and right confused because of where they spawn

So its just gambling based on /roll ?

Sorry, about a week behind in reading, had a friend and family from Spain over here last week.

Well, either way it's good to see the roll (in place) is being fixed. That's just ridiculously cheesy. As far as wall rolling, again I do it when I run engineer in normals (currently novare, and sometimes VS). If BW suggests that rolling into a wall and having all of the bombs land in one place is "working as intended" then that's something else. (edit: Still, if the Pot5 core ranked teams want to 'not use it' as a wall bombing, I'm going to go with that out of respect) These guys at BW really should start posting transcripts here of "What they say" because a tiny tiny percentage of people can attend these cantina meetups. These slackers need to schlep out to the mid-atlantic sometime.

Who said anything about not letting them play by a wall? Reality is, most folks think being able to instantly (and every 20 seconds) do one button 10-15k damage without a cast time is just ridiculously OP, much less if adrenaline probe is up to rinse-repeat. if that's not OP, I'm not sure what is. I mean the only thing close would be auto-crit smashes which happen every 20-30 seconds. I'm not entirely sure how you fix it, though.

My guild uses it the second way - to coordinate DPS. Interestingly enough, I used to use as you did...but I didn't do rateds extensively. If there was someone especially undergeared (say a really soft healer on the opposition) I'd want to make a point to kill him off first (versus that semi-pro level operative/scoundrel). This is 'normals' mindset. Still don't do that much rateds due to lack of time post 2.0...but when I did pre 2.0 we just called tagged targets (using the little color tags).

My point is, where are the controls for this game. I.E. how does anyone certain of the legitimacy of results?

My understanding of the sniper roll/bombs is it's un-intended design (especially the one where you don't even have to pin the guy up against a wall). The one where you manage to jump and roll in place has got to be abusing an unintended mechanic that bioware should fix. Today - not at some random patch weeks into the future. I've done it once or twice, laughed, then felt dirty afterwards. The rolling into a wall, I'm not so sure about. I will use this in normals, but based on the ranked pvp population opinion on pot5, I will not use this in rateds provided I don't see anyone else on the other team use it. The ranked community has had gentlemen's agreements in the past adhered to by many (for example, bubble stun) I can't read that doc either unfortunately, its blocked at work (which is where I do like 95% of my forum reading).

how the hell are you playing pazaak in game?

Details?

I'm just going to add that I suck, and I'm at the bottom of this list. Although Kylynn rivals my ******ude.

Dunno what you are talking about. I had no issues soloing any heroic 2 or 2+ as I leveled with him.

This is patently false, and something I believed myself for a very long time until it was pointed out to me about two months ago. I went the previous 4(?) months of my sniper's existing believing this. Your special attack accuracy is ranged + 10%. If you don't believe me, mouse over your ranged accuracy in game and see for yourself. The tooltip pops up and tells you. The difference between this and tech is the type of danage it is (it's still ranged damage, versus tech). If someone runs their base accuracy over 100% they are completely wasting stats as that allows you to hit the 110% special needed to hit all classes (at a base level). Most will suggest that simply having 94% accuracy is more then adequate as it gives you a 99% chance to hit most non-tank spec classes, and 94% chance to hit inquisitors/sages.

MM is very reliant on their melee to be effective. Put a good MM in a random wz with baddie/low damage melee, and the other team will be on that MM right away, neutralizing much of his effectiveness. A key advantage to me is that with MM versus Leth is the ability to switch targets at will without screwing up a "rotation". So when I'm hitting that melee and they put some defense up, I can target switch without needing to 'set up' again. Leth can still put up "that big number" in a warzone more easily because of the nature of their output. However, it's not unusual to see a Leth put up 700k+ in a losing warzone and have sub 5 kills - which is kinda lol/pointless.

You really only need accuracy for MM, but even then its not critically required. I float with about 96-97%, but as long as you're over 95 you're good. You can actually run with less, but ehh. I hate missing.

Yeah, because snipers wouldnt know how to get others out of cover. lol at the tears. It's not even every spec, it's a marksman skill. Full leth, full engineer, and leth/eng hybrids can't access it.

*sigh* I was supposed to be part of this, but my wife managed to find a way to tank my fiOS last night. First time its been down in years.
