Asphen Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Look man, I'm a Jedi yo. I don't care if I'm bleeding, burning, and posioned, I can press buttons and set bombs. Only a lightsaber to the face would stop me. This is a good change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maradigamer Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I liked it, too, but it's not a huge stinkin deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azmundai Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 im not happy about it .. because it means it will be even harder to win on my ridiculously imbalanced server .. but it's necessary for ranked pvp. without the change, he who caps first wins. the other 15 mins are meaningless.

Crazysithslayer Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Yes you are. It made Alderaan too easy to defend and led to too many stalemates just because 1 person could defend a turret with dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryotknife Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 it was a good design decision it just happens to screw my spec over, so i am a bit conflicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absit Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Anyone with a short CD long duration DoT could easily defend a side turret indefinitely in Alderaan in the absence of a purger (almost always, just 'cause no one thinks about it).

rzrknight Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Hum , well i never minded to begin with. Cant say yet if it will make to easy to cap stuff. Usually it is not the dots that stop me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobyBaggio Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) It was too easy cause too many people dont know how to use ''purge'' and such Since they realise the overall IQ of the community is gradually getting lower, they are compensating as such. Continually nerfing will be the main course every month, till the game will resemble a first person shooter with sabers and spells. Just less and less reasons to play this game.

QiBao Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) It was too easy cause too many people dont know how to use ''purge'' and such Everyone has purge! And I say that as a tank spec with a spammable (25 heat, but doable) 18 second dot. Edited March 3, 2012 by QiBao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalal Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Your not the only one but not sure why suicide dotting is considered a valid tactic from the dev perspective and I guess it's not. WOW never had it, and I assume for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogmar Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Do you honestly think it was reasonable that some classes were stuck with 18s dots and could do nothing about it? I mean really, 18s for your team to react on DEFENSE when you are clearly outnumbered? It was impossible to win against a good team once the other team had 2 turrets.

wessik Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 snipers don't have purge... my orbital strike doesn't keep ticking after i die my rifle doesn't keep shooting people after i die yet dots still tick for damage after death... (i'm ok with that) the change is good, be glad they didn't nerf dots to be equal with the rest of us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What magical game are you playing where every AC has the appropriate purge? Oh yeah, that's right. You are just talking to talk. Good job fellow citizen of SWTOR.

WOW never had it, and I assume for the same reason. You can't really compare it to WoW. In WoW, nodes went through a neutral period before switching flags, giving the defenders time to recap it. That's not the case in SWTOR. In addition, DOT specs in SWTOR don't have any cleanse resistance built in, which makes it extremely easy to purge them by people with two brain cells to rub together. The fact that a single defender can "hold off" 4-5 people with DOTs just shows a completely lack of common sense by the playerbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job fellow citizen of SWTOR. With the sheer number of sage/sorc and merc/commando players in warzones, there's absolutely zero reason why somebody shouldn't have the appropriate cleanse. And if one person has managed to stop 4-5 people from capping for 18+ seconds after they've died, they're obviously far better players than you are. Because it takes time to tab-target and DOT up each individual player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many situations where an attacker clearly wins and is prevented from capping from a single dot. Sentinals cant purge so your saying if a dotting class is defending tough luck? Can't attack that single defender because you can't purge, essentially making a dotting class the equivalent of more than one player? It doesn't make sense. Dot's do damage and they continue to do it after they die, good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abydon Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 cant play without DoTs? You know you do have other skills? Or don't you? Have the skills in the bar just not in yourself? Time to reroll me thinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
