Agemnon Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'm thinking of leveling my sage more but it's a healing spec so maybe I'll make a shadow unless that's getting nerfed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equusdoc Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Already playing a BH after hitting 50. Can only imagine how brutal it will be to level up after the nerf. My BH tears through groups of mobs, whereas as a scoundrel each encounter took planning and strategy. Pretty sad they are coming out with the nerf bat after 30 days from launch.

She's my favorite part of the BH storyline so far and I think I'll go powertech I'm almost level 10, woot! And I'm a lightside bounty hunter so I'll unlock the romance story with her Yeah my scoundrel plans too. A typical strategy involves clearing the trash around a melee elite, open with shoot first then backblast, then tendon blast and the DoT laser, walk backwards in a circle while spamming white damage, and repeat. For range I just white damage, stun, backblast, blaster whip, pugnacity, flash grenade, backblast, etc. Though each encounter is different but waiting for walking silvers to be in an isolated position (sometimes necessary to clear the space) works so there's no uninvited NPC guests in my battles.

Agemnon Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Since scoundrel healing isn't getting nerfed (to my knowledge) I might respec sawbones then respec DPS on my sage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetrablade Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) You know, Dirty fighting is broken, sawbones is healing (which hard to believe not EVERYONE likes), and scrapper is a one trick pony. So if the trolls can shove off, compare the scoundrel/operative to everything else and you will see why we are so upset at being locked into a broken class. For example I like healing, and as a commando I could heal AND do ranged dps AND be in heavy armor. As a Sage I can get healing AND knockbacks AND shields AND lots of ranged cc/dps. As a Scoundrel, I guess I can still sneak away and not kill anything ever? Edited January 30, 2012 by Vastalee removed quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other AC in the game can take a player at 50 from 100% to 30%ish in a few second opener that leaves the player completely helpless and unable to react for the duration.

Even on my scoundrel I actively look for stuff to kill such as the lisks in between Ilum quests so I could collect and sell the trash. Thing is I wanted to try an operative eventually due to the story but I might go sniper instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAntiVirus Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Why is it instead of actually fixing things BW's solution seems to be 'nerf it'? I mean if you wanted us to just play only two or three classes, then why not just give us only those classes? It seems like they are forcing us to do such because they just keep swinging that nerf bat like it's going out of style or something. I have not seen one nerf actually be a fix for anything. Heck, because of the nerfs I won't even do PvP now. Mind you, not that I really did much PvP before but it seems that PvP is the only way to get the good gear. Sure as heck not on the GTN nor in any PvE commendations vendor I have seen. I go into PvP and I'm sushi faster than I can say 'splat' because many of the current classes have been beaten and nerfed so they're near useless in PvP. That is unless your team needs some meatshields, then there are now plenty of classes that fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly could be out of touch, but I don't recall seeing any other real nerfs to classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI! now to address your statement. Start balancing around 1v1...Gain more problems in a group situation. Plus its way to early to "fix" any class. Also last time I checked no player I found to be geared or using half their brain went from 100% to 30% in a 3 second stun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my CC breaker isn't up, it happens to me all the time and I'm in nearly full Battlemaster gear. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing you can do unless your cc remover is up and I'm usually less then 30% actually by the time it lets me do anything. Maybe you aren't playing yours correctly?

I really hope you're not playing a sorc. Break the opening knockback, or break opening tranq. Whichever it may be. You have interrupts, dots, knockbacks, slows, a **** button yes? Use them. "ABSOLUTELY NOTHING YOU CAN DO" is not true. Smugs and Operatives have no gap closers. Break away and watch them come at you in slow motion, and destroy them. Rogues can't just stand toe to toe with someone and expect not to lose. Their strength is their suprise, and their weakness is extremely low survivability, an not having a gap closer.

Its mostly because of those whiney little butthurts who cry OP when they get ambushed by a scounderel or Operative. They all come crying to the forums sucking their thumbs for comfort hoping Bw will give in and swing the nerf paddle at anyone who bullies their precious Sorcerers Edited January 29, 2012 by Kliever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
