If you wanted a Rogue, you should really be playing Smuggler - Scoundrel or the Imperial mirror of Agent - Operative. They rely on stealth a lot more than Assassin does (their main burst is out of stealth too).

This thread needs more Lina Inverse tbh. Other than that, a good attempt at explaining the rotations and variations!

If you watch streams of actually (relatively) talented Sentinel/Marauder players you will see that they are infact, entirely viable. With the recent addition of the 50 only bracket, the need for the class with the ONLY heal debuff in game is going to skyrocket. The biggest issue with Marauder/Sentinel is people do not know how to play them to their max potential, which I might like to add is only reached when working as part of a coordinated team (It is an MMO so go figure).

It is REALLY not hard to bind all your abilities to keys or keys + a modifier, there is no need for BioWare to do ALL the work for us... IMHO.

You obviously haven't seen the Sith Assassin PvP armor.

<3 lol

You think we have it bad?! Assassin looks one hundred percent worse... LOL

I play Sith Assassin as Deception. I am currently in the process of releveling as Jedi Shadow. So, nice try. I've survived the oneshots since they came out, but, unlike you tired, you poor, you huddled masses yearning to breathe free - I actually took the time to understand WHY the 10k hits with 5k dots occurred (for multiple classes) instead of insta QQing NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERF.

Operatives and Scoundrels are fine. They issue with oneshotting was due to stacking consumables, which has been removed. It was not just these classes that achieved the fabled oneshot either.

OP you are a moron, google some streamers from Lina_Inverse to STMP and see Marauders/Sentinels wrecking kids. More PewPew less QQ.

Their as in heir to the throne. If the majority of people who played this game had an education, imagine the puzzles and content they would develop for us. It's mind blowing. R.I.P progressive MMO design.

Thank you for making a really enjoyable Star Wars MMO experience. Also for listening to the community and addressing the stacking consumable issue, whilst taking the time to realise Operative/Smugger did not need a nerf. Thank you for you continued hotfixes and general customer relations. It feels good to be kept in the loop, with regular tweaks to improve the overall quality of life in-game. It's a shame a few bugs have slipped through in the last few weeks, but, as new PvP content will not be released until the masses have passed through the current content, it will equalize fairly quickly. I really like the idea of adding two more same faction Warzones, to avoid the permanent Huttball. All in all, with a few exceptions great start! Looking forward to seeing where you take it from here.

You guys are terrors, for real. Why don't you check out the streams of players like Lina_Inverse, Powerr, Tidusx or any of the other actually somewhat talented Assassins/Shadows who regularly go 1 vs. 1/2/3 against players who are level 50. You 100% have every too (besides charge for huttball)l you need to be a strong solo player on an Assassin. If you find the class lackluster, watch some of the streams, get a feel for how the class should be played. OR QQ and reroll Operative LAWLs

You guys couldn't be more wrong, Assassin/Shadow has every possible tool you need to succeed. If you guys simply don't like the class, reroll Operative. The class is NOT meant to be Rogue from ANOTHER GAME. Get used to it. There is only one major point where Assassin could be accused of falling short, lack of a charge for the endless Hutballs. To fix that all is needed is the return of the shadowstep from Beta.

That is one of the most retarded things I have ever read. If a BURST damage class cannot BURST a target before you can heal them, what is the point of having a spike damage/cd reliant class at all? Let's all roll tanks and healers and play the game like a cripplefight. Anyone who played Rift will know what I am talking about. The issue with Operatives/Smugglers is the stacking consumables/adrenals/relics etc. But, half you guys don't actually understand how the game works. You just insta QQ about a class and cry NERF instead of actually learning to deal with/counter the class. Slow, power healers should be useless in PvP. Well, outside of healing tanks. I can't wait for the panda xpac, so the community improves.

Easy answer, you don't like the game? Leave! You don't like the class? Reroll! You aren't level 50? Level to 50 before complaining! The game has been out less than two days and you are already crying it should be more like WoW. STOP IT. The people who did beta have seen the game through many of its stages, overall I/we are happy with it + the direction it is going. STOP crying NERF instead of learning to play. It's lame. Bottom line: If you prefer WoW, leave. If you want something new - not a copy of - then stick around. But, for God's sake don't try and make THIS game into WoW, because you can't cope with a non-dumbed down combat system.

STOP complaining - the system is perfect as it is. You have an ability that makes you immune to CC + a CC breaker + a resolve bar that is DR and immunity built into one. You get jumped by three people, they beat you to death. Deal with it.

This guy is the first who makes sense. The issue is largely with player ability, or lack therof as opposed to a balancing issue. CC is absolutely prefect in this game, stop complaining and learn when to sit it and when to break it. Also, this is not a solo game, it's a team game. Heals and shields are the counter to CC, get some friends. As classes are mirrored, the issue is with the volume and/or quality of Republic players. This sadly cannot be fixed by BioWare and is a player issue.

There are two still in game low level. The Black Talon Inquisitor's Robe and the Saber Marshal's Robe. The former is a drop from the Black Talon flashpoint and the latter is for completing the Revanite questline. Both are now 'Orange' in game. Enjoy.

I find this is commonplace, writing without reading. Just like the post above mine.

It's an easy button, you do less work, employ less skill and get more reward. If it's too hard for you, practise and improve or move along. I do not support dumbing the game down, because Rift and TrashCraft did it beforehand.

Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once... MMO's are balanced for max level PvP. It is physically impossible to balance the game for every level, without everyone playing one class. If you don't like it and feel they have done such a bad job, WoW panda expansion is around the corner. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

One who plays a stealth class, without utilising the stealth mechanic, will never play the class to it's maximum potential. Period. PvE is relatively faceroll in all MMOs/games in general, PvP is a different ball game entirely.

Your hoodless Revan footage is going to be somewhat unique, as they have fixed him now. I like seeing the back of his helm.

Hey, I absolutely love your videos. Please, keep them up as they are (especially the hoodless Revan w/ helm) useful. I look forward to seeing what you add to the channel as time goes on. /tiphat
