.................................................. you are arguing that you should be able to survive multiple dps (or is your health honestly dropping fast from one dps?) anyone that is focused will go down hard. The icing on the cake is that you honestly think it is unfair for you to not have a pocket healer. There is a reason everyone wastes their utilities on you, cause smash will wreck everyone in a ten meter radius, cool

The point: Let's start some discussion on optimal strategies and scenarios against the ACs in pvp I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough to write a guide myself so I thought I'd start a discussion on it. For instance, if you are assault going up against a sniper who isn't dotting you. A viable strat would be to dot the crap out of him, LOS, heal to full and watch him cry. Against leapers As gunnery I find, netting > TO combo, SS CC > to usually be enough to put me in a position to win. HTL to avoid the second leap as necessary. NOw this discussion exists in a weird space. That is these are not fleet duels, nor are they arenas (necessarily). They exist in that weird time when you find yourself (usefully) 1 v 1 in a wz. Maybe you are the last one alive at snow defending, maybe you are solo defending a door, Maybe you are attacking and there is only you vs that smasher who is gaurding and if you win you plant, if you lose they rebalance and you lose the opportunity. 1 v 1 with most CDs available what does a commando need to do to win. cheers (ps anyone have any viable strates as gunnery against MM snipes? Good ones have been giving me a real rough go lately, I mean I could net them to do that extra dmg which is usually enough if they mistime evasion, but I feel like that;s a waste of a net)

lol when i see force technique on my team I cry on the inside

correct, by shared I mean the healer is taking half damage. so hopefully through taunts and guard, our healer won't explode from initial burst. aoe is a problem but hopefully im not standing next to the healer when the smashers come. I understand that this is gimmicky but you also have to remember that in solo queue the teams are considerably less organized. At the very least this is a good change up, if the other teams whole strategy is to blow up our healer because we can kill theirs, guard can negate their strategy. Though yes, I run hybrid almost always in shadow technique

I run the hybrid and I'm having success. in solo queue. speaking ONLY for SOLO queue.. how do people feel about going into combat stance and gaurding the healer. Obviously we are too squishy but often I find the 50% shared damage to be enough to weather the initial burst and allow our dps to kill their healer via attrition. against a vangaurd we will die sooner so I don't bother anymore but I'm having some success with this strategy. What are your thoughts? I am running this in standard hybrid with a shield. What, if any, gimmick hybrids (21/22/3) might work? Also I find my dps isnt hurt too much. I don't have the burst from breaching->force potency->breaching and project screws my force regen. But I think I still do decent damage. No i don't think this is the new big thing but I find it is an interesting option from time to time. cheers

I think the point they are trying to make is that healer SHOULD be healing. a healer on defense is just a body. a healer with the main group is a game changer

any decent merc/commando can electro net, grav grav sticky explodinground railshot (basic rotation minus net) full auto for 20k plus(average damage) on a min/maxed 55. If i have ONE more person throw out an attack or two at the same time that OP is dead.

from a PVP perspective consider making shadow strike "explode" the dots on target, consuming them. Leave the force cost. Now you can skillfully choose whether to leave your dots on or when to burst.

I think its because of threads like this... you come off as someone who wants attention so much that they make a thread self proclaiming themselves as the top % who are so good and yet have to deal with the masses misunderstanding their power. Then your typical style is to attack me. No I don't think particularly negative of you.

Im sure its just a perception but I honestly feel like the "Warzone of the day" Theory is correct. Iv been noticing it the last month or two

Hey hoping I could sneak a question in. I've begun the min maxing phase and I was wondering what are the sweet spots for surge and power, or which stat is better. Essentially I was confused about which enhancements to get, the ones with more power, or the ones with more surge. Or maybe get my surge to 75 then stack power? Also how do you feel about switching aim augments for power? Thank you

cast sequences are something completely different (though the same name) if you actually read the OP (or the TLDR....) he just wants focus target support. which now that I think about it might help PUGS... instead of saying "everyone attack dumbnamexx" or "focus down the jugg now now now" itll be like macro set target of my focus target.... now attack and apply my leet skillz

Yeah thats about right pre-55 Id recommend capping normal and ranked warzone comms but honestly its not CRUCIAL. don't use any wz medpacks or adrenals pre 55 just save em pre 40 trade in comms for planetary commendations so you can stay relevant last thing: it doesnt really matter but 58 makeb armor/mods/enhan are actually semi decent for pvp while youre getting conqueror. so 50-55 id get decked out in those while still making sure you hit 55 with maxed reg comms, and as many ranked comms as you can. dont give up! 55 gets MUCH better the more conqueror armor you get. Augments are very important, bolster does something weird with them so theyre actually worth alot. augment prices ~72k for the augmentation kit mk 9 -80k augment 28 purple (32 stat 20 end) ~8k augment 28 blue (28 stat 18 end) at the very least get these if youre poor -36k just to add augments to piece of gear all of this for every piece of gear (14) (edit) oh yeah and buy prototype nano-infused stims!

Agreed

1)Their DPS spec got nerfed. 2)They're probably a hybrid spec.
