dlogan Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have done plenty of HM's with out a tank. Pretty sure he said operations. Melee is fine coming from a full Rakata Jugg who has run every boss on every difficulty on operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slugamaniac Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Sentinel class + Inspiration = very high chance of getting into an Operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khryn Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have done plenty of HM's with out a tank. No melee at all either? (Honest question...) Although most MMOs' have this problem. People enjoy ranged combat, but eventually you'll see melee get buffed so that they can compete, thus the spiral of nerfs and buffs begins viciously.

JonnyLoveMachine Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 I find this hard to believe.. In Black Talon its possible but I don't know about anywhere else. Hammerstation / foundry / d7.. all done with out a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCommando Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hammerstation / foundry / d7.. all done with out a tank. Hammer Station doesn't have a hard mode. Now I know you have no idea what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlogan Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hammerstation / foundry / d7.. all done with out a tank. Like I said the guy you said that to was specifically talking about OPS which = operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vecke Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I am one of the best Marauders on my server. I top most meters (objectives included). The problem is that if I played a Sorc... I would own the crap out of my marauder. How is topping most meters (objectives included) being punished for playing a marauder? Just because you think it's possible you could do better with another class? Looks to me like you do pretty well with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocsolid Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Go read the date... Dec. 31st. Thanks though for proving you are in the "Big Gulp" category. http://www.swtor.com/news/press-release/20120201 Dated 2.1, whats your big gulp size? It is probably in cherry flavor.

dlogan Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Do boarding party with a melee on end boss.. Tell me how that goes. Can you not read? I've done it. My jugg is in full rakata and im the mt of my guild. Ive done every operation on every difficulty and all the HM FPs. Melee is fine. If you're having that much trouble roll ranged or quit the game.

ferroz Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Examples? Some trees are melee with some ranged capabilities, but no AC has a full melee AND full ranged talent tree option.Scoundrel is a ranged healer or melee dps. I remember someone claiming that one of the dps trees for Vanguard was basically a melee dps tree, one was a ranged dps tree, and one was a ranged tanking tree. Balance shadow is supposedly quasi ranged/melee hybrid, though I have no experience playing that. Edited February 15, 2012 by ferroz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucisAbyssus Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 You will be punished for it later after 50. WZ: You will be a human ping pong in every BG. You might be able to take a caster here and there but that is only 1v1. PVE: You will not be taken to ANY end game content as you are just a liability due to terrible mechanics that punish melee. Other problems with this pile: IA Nerf with out fixing their sustainability. Water Nerf with out giving Non Hybrid classes a decent out of combat heal that doesn't break on dot damage. Leaving combat in a WZ with no one around you is LOL. Huttball HORRIBLY designed for ANY melee to play in. TLDR: SWTOR = F2P in less than 6 months. Once they realize all they have left is Sorc/Sages + Merc / Comm's + Tank classes. Amazing how terrible this game continues to be. You had 2 months start fixing it. All you have done is made stuff worse. INC BIOFAIL FANBOI BRIDGADE - All because they haven't hit 50 yet and have seen how broken the end game is. /flamesuit on Can I have your stuff?

realID Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Melee punished more than range in an MMORPG? Completely unexpected, hold the presses, we've a new story... Wait, what's this?
