As a defender unless you are vastly superior to attackers, you won't be able to kill them fast enough since they can be back right in the mix. Indeed I've seen this very often, top dmg in Voidstar and didn't get past the first door. As for killing ballcarrier indeed you have to kill him, but he will die under focus fire (once again we are not talking about insane difference here)

Well you are wrong, on Voidstar and Huttball dps has nothing to do with final result. In voidstar you can have all your dps killing opponents left and right and let stealther sleep and bomb objectiver. The point of this WZ to disrupt opponents while it does involve some damage you need only token damage to win it as a defender and dps in short bursts as an attacker. For Huttball passing team > dps team all the time. Only Alderan more or less requires good dps.

I for one despite liking Empire story a lot more play right now only Republic characters. But it's hard to argue Empire looks cooler almost for every class: Trooper -> Bounty Hunter, yes sir vs I want money for the kill Sage -> Sorcerer, well force lightning nuff said. Assasin -> Iconic Darth Maul Jedi Knight -> Sith Warrior well i do believe SW has one of the best stories and you do feel completely ******. Once again Darth Vader. the only class which is not cooler is Agent, but IT IS better then Smuggler. So it's actually hard to NOT choose Empire and then it becomes network effect.

Actually i find 25-45 bracket to be quite profitable you can do armoring/mods for them and it will sell pretty fast if the price is reasonable.

Almost in every MMO I played there is a similar ability for a tank, the difference is when it wears off if your health drops below 0 you die, BW was kind enough to give 1 hp. I actually expected to die when I first time used it and was pleasantly surprised to see my toon alive and kicking.

Mechanic did not change, but the fact the people at 50 bracket usually use more stuns and snares. So... your point is, it gets hard to play against those who knew what they are doing?

What was wrong with grenades, they has 5 min CD!!!

I mean seriously, why was they nerfed?

gear > class. As for defense, yeah got killed by Operative when my 100% defense was up.

For gameplay reason only biochem as it will seriously boost any class performance and since biggest items are BOP you need it. Which is not true for any other skill, well apart from grenades but they are not that useful.

It is, I was getting the same issue with Rage and after getting +1 rage from SA it helped to resolve most of the issues on par with free smash.

I am speaking from personal experience I never seen marauder dots on me - guess what nobody plays annihilation for pvp I guess. Yes I do get dots sometimes and yes I had the situation when these dots killed me after endure pain finished but it is rare in pvp. The point of Endure Pain is to give large hp boost for decent amount of time paired with good mitigation it does usually provide enough time to get the job done or at least you may get healers attention or whatever. We already have hp buff in form of force scream post effect in immortal.

Yes dots are dangerous and yes it will kill you, so what you had your time to kill the other guy - you failed. And in fact there are only few classes with dots in PVP obviously sorc, some bh and some op that's it, and they are rarely used since it's alpha strike for pvp not slowly chipping dots.

I for one believe this is a great change(Endure Pain) used it a lot in PVP and PVE as well sometimes. This is in fact insta heal to let you fight for 10-15 secs more, yes it will drop down back to 1 hp, BUT still you wont die and either your enemy is dead or you can use other ability like push or choke or whatever. Not so sure about resetting charge on push, it's good but actually i rarely had an issue when i was kited and had push available but charge on CD. EDIT and BTW you can tell almost instantly who is good with his Juggy and who is not, if someone thinks ENdure is bad well it explains why this person might think Juggy is bad.

Why do you ever want to invest 3 talents to get free scream after charge... i honestly don't know unless you are planning to play in Soresu form. You already have more then enough rage using Shien. And yes I almost never used vicious slash once I got Impale + crit Scream. Seriously man in Shien with 1 rage back you are really getting nothing for 3 point invest.
