BoySaber Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Yes it needs buff, especially plasma/pryo as those should melt everything around but they are weakest dps from all. It also makes no sense why call their tanks shield specialist/tech when there are better shield classes like commando/mercenary. I thought that shield classes should be the one to dominate with shields, it defeats the solo purpose of the class. Shield Specialist and Shield Tech should master shields, raising them for self and allies, and de-shielding de-bubbling others. Give them something unique, something fun, something that others tanks do not have, so that they desire this tank, just like we desire cool lightsabers. Here is an idea that makes tanks usable in PvE too, while not ignoring PvP uses as well. Shield Remote (Replaces Transpose/Transolcate) Level Granted: 42 Activation: Instant Range: 15m Duration: 30 seconds Cooldown: None Deploys a Shield Remote on self or ally. For 30 seconds the target has 10% damage reduction and 5% damage reflection. Can deploy total four shield remotes. If fifth shield remote is deployed, the first shield remote deactivates. Shield Remote does not stack with itself on a same target. Shield Remote Utility You may now deploy Shield Remote on a hostile target to deactivate its shields. For 30 seconds Shield Remote will float around hostile target. If hostile target activates a shield ability (insert the list of bubbles and eggs abilities here), and after that deals damage, Shield Remote deactivates the target's own (insert the list of bubbles and eggs abilities here). Shield Remote explodes on a first absorbed shield effect, preventing target from moving for 4 seconds. Shield Remote can only remove one shield buff, and does not stack with itself, but you can deploy another Shield Remote on same target as soon already active one expires or explodes.

Cuiwe Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) It is now virtually unplayable. Dont take my word for it try playing one in pve or pvp. Yes, it is COMPLETELY USELESS-in any form of play(not counting off the character modes such as GSF). Solo? Ineffective, its sister class(Commando) is MUCH MORE effective. Leveling? 10m abilities comboed with lvl 59 Storm...yeah. Group PvE? A waste of slot, literally ANYONE else will be better(sometimes even a duplicate of the class-the only exception being a Sage, ofc). PvP? Lol, you should take that comedy act on tour! You could earn fat paycheck! I mean, ok, Sage is also in a dire situation, but at least you can do solo stuff on him without relying THAT much on your companion. Vanguard is COMPLETELY USELESS. It's ok if a class is weak(like some in 3,0 etc)...but this...this is the worst balance period ever. Never did it happen that a class was virtually unplayable.

Sith-Viscera Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 It is now virtually unplayable. Dont take my word for it try playing one in pve or pvp. I play a Pyrotech and i have notice us Pyrotechs are far and in between. We are a rare breed and if we do not get a good Kick in the BUFF, we will die out. So BW, Buff us, or get the BUFF out! But really, Buff US PLEASE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
