Recommended Posts

After my voidstar video (http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=335854) I had alot of requests for a guide sorta thing.. soooooo here it is!

 

 

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh7EaY6HyOk&context=C394acf7ADOEgsToPDskLQOA62BHPZ31Qy3xwwbBHc

 

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9pQ_1LaqbY&context=C3cd9d41ADOEgsToPDskL0cQnxyCxbXgWjvNHMD_Fl

 

Apologies in advance;

Pedo breathing.. normally use push to talk but was hard to play and hold down my push to talk button down all the time :p

 

GAME FACE!... some situations didnt explain too well as I was concentrating on not dying.

 

dire opposition.. couldn't really be bothered to wait until I got popped into a game with good opposition where we wern't 5-0 down already, hopefully you get the general jist of the class from this vid.

 

any questions feel free to ask!

PEACE x

Why aren't there more madness pvp videos? It's such a unique play style with obvious viability.

 

It doesn't have the burst DPS or survivability of the other specs is the main reason.

 

Simply put, it's currently the runt of the assassin spec litter.

Madness is not about burst in the first place, however it still does spectacular at brining down your opponents. Just because it is the runt for you don't mean that other can't excel at it.

 

@OP: TYVM for this video guide I was deception spec before this and since I took to madness spec I have been wrecking people twice as fast, I pulled alot of info from your video and adapted it to my play style. TY :D

Glad someone is getting madness the props it deserves. I wan't to do a video so bad but i just can't with my connection. I have been playing 5/5/31 madness sense release. Its an amazing spec with great utility but i think people get scared of the amount of abilities you have to use to be effective.

 

Good job on the vids man. Hopefully i can try to get one up here someday.

Thats not the point nor does it address the question asked. Please read what i replied to for the context of the post.

 

The question was why don't more people play madness, the reason, as i said, is because it doesn't provide the survivability of Darkness or the burst of Decpetion. I never said it wasn't any good, just that currently it's the least used of the three specs for group and/or solo pvp for these reasons.

I wasn't trying to answer his question... you did that with your first line about the other 2 specs. I was simply defending madness as you referred to it as the "runt" which is normally the "weakest". Least used or not was not even in my mind, as you should play what is comfortable to you and most people who do play assassin play with a more melee tuned mindset where madness is alot of casting compared to the others. :hope_06:

I heard you talk a bit about changing from 10/0/31 into 7/3/31 mual-madness build. Can you provide me a link or any insight why you decide to change ?

 

In my opinion thrash is better then maul since you can use it asap without positioning requirement (sometime you cannot get to behind opponent in 1 GCD window if they keep rotating around you while u try to run to their back) and have more chance to proc raze since maul is 1 hit and thrash is 2. Thrash is even more dps with 4 pve set bonus (if someone will use it in pve that is).

 

There also many problems I run into while running this spec and want to ask for your advice

 

1. I lose to burst class, such as deception assassin or powertech or backstab operative. I simply die.. first. Self heal is a bit useless if battle is ended in a few seconds.

2. I cannot bring healer down in time, if 1-1 with healer I will always win since they will run out of resource but their friend often come help in time. Also impossible to bring healer with tank guarding down at all (2dps versus tank+healer combo, not a 2-1 fight).

 

I'm new battlemaster so all my armor is not BM yet but all are champion level and above

Played deception, Darkness and now madness man death fields hitting for 3k+ is pretty sweet Still trying to adjust to discharge having no cool down lol. Mad damage in wz and actually find it's not bad one on one and even going dc mode is still very capable of racking up medals without issue. I am liking it just wish at times death field was just on me instead of 2 clicks lol but the range is nice. Edited by LordbishopX

  • 2 weeks later...

So after seeing these i tried jumping onto the ledge next to the airflow in huttball only to fail miserably every time. WTH?! :p

Also I switched from deception to madness and i'm definitely loving it, so thanks for giving me the push to do that through these vids!

The madness build relies ALOT on your gear. just some info i've gathered :) since if u do have good gear the madness tree is AWESOME if ur deathfield does less than 2.3-2.4k crits on people in warzones, u shud not be playing madness yet...

 

Or atleast thats my experience.
