XcSDeadDeer Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just wondering, did the Devs ever give us a reason as to why shoulder slam can't be used against other players/elites/champs? I dont see how this is gamebreaking when other classes have moves that do significantly more damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnitemonster Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Every class has moves like this. That cost no heat/energy/force/rage and only work on weak/silvers that are stunned. Better to just get over it and move on. Edited February 22, 2012 by midnitemonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agooz Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 For an AC that has heat issue, why complain about an ability that costs you nothing and does decent damage? I actually often use when I am farming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcSDeadDeer Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'm just wondering what the reasoning is behind not being able to use it in PvP matches as it solely does damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exphryl Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'm just wondering what the reasoning is behind not being able to use it in PvP matches as it solely does damage They made a statement a month or so back about these abilities just adding some flare to your PvE Grinding. Nothing more then that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xneco Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 BioWare supposedly collects lots and lots of metrics on the game. I'd be interested to see if they collect any on how much this ability is used. I'd be will to bet the number is very very low and at some point they just remove the ability from the game.

Umpire Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 these abilities are included to let tanks/healers do dailies by themselves without complaining about lack of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcSDeadDeer Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Because it is not a PvP-only game? I made no statement about it being a PvP-only game, I just wondered why we cant use it in PvP when it's solely a damage only move. It doesn't provide a buff, it doesnt provide a debuff, it doesn't stun; it only does damage. these abilities are included to let tanks/healers do dailies by themselves without complaining about lack of damage. That makes sense. Cause it certainly does help against regs and strongs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondancerbb Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 my guess is you cant use them against players because of the ridiculous burst it would provide for a lot of classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tovenar Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 my guess is you cant use them against players because of the ridiculous burst it would provide for a lot of classes. Quoted for Truth. Imagine if every class, regardless of spec had a no cost, massive damage instant ability on a 45 seconds cooldown that only required "incapacitated" to activate. Every class has a CC! It would be MADNESS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QiBao Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 u do realise that the most u can lose by is 6 right? first to 6 wins I love catching these people. I was in quest greens, new 50, topped damage, guard, and objectives and beat several battle masters so bad they actively avoided me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
