JP_Legatus Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) I'll be there checking out the new trees and seeing what I'm going to spec into for the new expansion... Oh and by the way there seems to be no nerf to smash, it actually looks like more of a very slight buff (only 3 stacks needed instead of 4 while the damage and tree remains the same), and they buffed bubble stun as well (via reduced cooldown-debuff). So unless I'm mistaken it looks like smash and bubble is still going to be rampant. Lulz I didn't bother looking at the other trees but if anyone wants to **** around with me I'll be on PTS messing with the new stuff until I get bored and go back to WoW, drop me a message http://dulfy.net/2013/02/20/swtor-patch-2-0-patch-notespts/ EDIT: Oh and the new gear looks *********** retarded as usual, better hold on to your old gear shells. I especially enjoy the new moth-head inquisitor helmet. There is one huge *** sniper rifle that some people (myself) might enjoy purely because it looks like a giant *********** cannon Edited February 21, 2013 by JP_Legatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudmink Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Assassins get Phasewalk and I get some crappy ten second doom-delayer? Yay, I can survive a fire trap. Screw it, I'm moving to another server to RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP_Legatus Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Ah, they made bubblestun only affect the caster now. I was mistaken there, smash still derp though. What changes do you see to smash? The stacks only go up to 3 but the shockwave buff does 33.3% per stack now, so it's mostly a buff. I may main on my marauder now, but I haven't seen the trees yet and they made shields reduce force damage, so my sin may rock tank gear now. Well, there's a LOT of new changes so I'm going to have to mess around to see how things work out because right now there's too much to determine what will be OP, the trees all go up to 36 points now and it doesn't look like all the abilities mentioned in the notes equal the quantity of new talents in the trees. You should give it at least a quick look on the PTS first meo Edited February 21, 2013 by JP_Legatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP_Legatus Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Update: 12.9k smash and a 9k hit from a vanguard already on the PTS, lol, looks like they made some changes to expertise scaling as well. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2ce2bdz&s=6 Edited February 21, 2013 by JP_Legatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw it, I'm moving to another server to RP. Yeah it's pretty awesome. Haven't tried it yet, but sounds like Sage/Sorcs have an awesome new ability where they get to stare at the person who is about to kill them for 10 seconds, while that person spams basic attacks to build resources and waits for their big hitters to come off CD. They should rename it "waiting". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought of that, would be a lot like a stealth sap, but you know, without the stealth, and with a CD, and without actually sapping someone. I'm not saying it's totally useless, I'm just saying it's less useful than everything else, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP_Legatus Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Except that you're now the only class besides marauder that can survive 8 dps and you can do it for much longer while getting healed the entire time. Not as useful for 1v1 yes but great in team environment. It's not a bad skill stop whining about it Edited February 21, 2013 by JP_Legatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteyLo Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Great news fellow SWTORers I got three shotted on the PTS- ten thousand smash, five thousand six-hundred scream, six thousand vicious throw.... Rage isn't broken just buffed... Even more. On another note Operatives got something similar to force speed. Madness is buffed, and will be viable for PvP Deception is pretty much gone in the wind. The teleport thing isn't as op as people think it is going to be just helps you get out of rough situations . Yeah!

Mudmink Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 But I love your confetti ! I'm about to RP the **** out of being a party instigator. You should give it at least a quick look on the PTS first meo I guess...but these 13k smashes aren't tempting me one bit. I haven't gone to check it out yet, but I heard Phasewalk is only usable when stealthed? Is that true? If so it sounds a lot cooler than it is. I thought it said it doesn't break stealth. But I could have read that wrong. Lord knows I don't really pay attention to much in this game. Yeah it's pretty awesome.

"Hey guise I'm just gonna channel this but DON"T CAP OK?! GUISE?! STAHP!" Lol, but you basically get a 10s channeled undying rage. You realize the entire enemy team can focus you and do 0 damage for 10s while you get healed right? I don't see why people are complaining about this. I've also been told the dps for sorcs got improved along with dps for a lot of other classes. Edited February 21, 2013 by JP_Legatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zolkl Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Looks like Snipers/GS are getting some nifty new toys. I'll be able to drop my uber giant turtle shell shield for everybody to use and not have to worry about losing it if I get out of cover. Also roll from cover to a new cover 18 meters away. That will be nice againsts mauraders. I can't wait to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudmink Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Lol, but you basically get a 10s channeled undying rage. You realize the entire enemy team can focus you and do 0 damage for 10s while you get healed right? Why would anyone continue to hit me while I channeled that? They would move on to someone else.

sphyg Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 That's the point. So it takes 8 second to cap a node in alderaan and vs. So you are the only one left on that side. You channel that and right before they are done capping you break it and force wave them. Now that buys your time at least 8 more seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
