100 snipe attacks is not NEARLY enough to say when you had 94.5% accuracy. You'd need more like 1000.
Snipe is a Ranged attack. That means it uses your Ranged accuracy. NOT your Tech accuracy. You really want to test it? Shoot a PowerTech a bunch. If he ever shields it, that means it is Ranged and not Tech. You cannot shield Tech attacks.
There is no such category as "Special" attacks. There are Ranged attacked, Melee attacks, Force attacks and Tech attacks.
Each uses its own accuracy rating, as listed on your sheet.
This seriously needs to end.
For those who don't know, it is possible when you're on the attacking side to exit the starting area before the timer is up and plant the bomb before the other team even gets fully out of the starting area. It doesn't seem like a huge deal, but really that one advantage adds up. Their entire team just goes to the door with the bomb while your team starts spread out, and then you're already behind as they rush ahead to the next door. All downhill from there.
The guild Triple Zero on Jekk'Jekk Tarr has been abusing this for weeks and nothing is being done about it.
Uhhh mitigation is there in PVP. It just comes mostly from armor. As a ShieldTech based PT, I can live through pretty much anything. 3 people attacking me? No problem, I can live long enough to kill at least one of them, easily. PTs are in a great spot in PVP right now.
Full Resolve bar will stop the Grapple. Sadly a full Resolve bar seems to jack against me getting stunned, knocked around or grappled when I'm the one with the ball <.<
For PVP Max durability you list: Max durability builds: Expertise > Defense Rating > Crit > Power = Surge > Shield Rating > Accuracy > Alacrity What do you hate about Shield Rating exactly? It's a great stat.
Don't forget about the chest in the area southwest of that (where there's warring republic/empire forces). It is next to the depleted white crystal.
Maybe more posts like this will get this **** fixed There's been a bot farming the chest I mention for the last couple weeks.
I run full PVE tank spec and love it. Have yet to go down to anyone 1v1, and makes defending places a breeze, and I've gotten plenty of 300k damage medals. (I know plenty of people do more damage than that, but that's plenty for me considering all the punishment I take. I end most matches with 10-11 medals in total, sometimes more.)
They're not going to get it. Classes get a mix of knockbacks, CC, stuns, interrupts, etc. They don't ALL get ALL of them. For example as a PowerTech I get an Interrupt but no knockbacks. A Merc is the other way around. Balance, crazy concept.
