I still love the game for what it is, people complain that balance is an issue but how I see it is play a class that counters the other. It's nothing but people trying to make pvp something in this game that it clearly will never be, I've played all 3 types of tank heals and dps in this game and tbh they feel balanced. I quit wow because everyone cried that not all the classes have healing spells..... Defeated the purpose of classes being different instead of giving everyone a heal. A rogue healing....... What's the point of being a dps paladin

Tbh it was a learning curve at first but I see what the op is saying. I also wanted a challenge in pvp so I decided to roll and arsenal merc and man if you don't know what your doing you'll get rolled on a merc but if you know how to run circles on people and maintain the utilities and your shield you can reck havoc. You have to los while trying to blow people up its basically playing a marksman hunter and Ret paladin from wow. I love this class and believe it takes a high player level skill to fully understand how to use this class and be lethal in pvp. They have good defenses for how much single damage burst they can do.

As a Juggernaut tank it's all about managing those reliable cooldowns that are gonna keep you from dying. Now from a solo perspective with not much incentive to play well with others I would suggest going Endurance/Power. I suggested because there are plenty of new comers to the tanking world and its a bit of a learning curve on how to utilize the maximum potential someone can accomplish as a tank. For a well experienced player it all depends on the flavor of play style. As an experienced player that performs on the high end in warzones I figured that I'm better off stacking as much power as I could making my augments Power/Endurance. The lack of moves a Jug tank are stuck with makes you reconsider the decision of any other stat in my opinion. My *Major damage dealer* crushing blow can hit at 17-18k on crit, without I'm reaching 8-9ks. I haven't completely switched out of all my mods so I'm still stuck with a few defense absorb and shield chance but I'm sure once they are replaced, that 17-18k might look more like 25k. Why I didn't choose mastery well because I need that assured damage from power to cause harm, without stacking enough power in my opinion is bottlenecking your dps because we aren't a burst class but a sustained damage dealer. If we had burst as a tank then I would rock crit till I die.

You can fix this read my post......

Please look at my solution on this thread get wow latency fix and it will resolve your ping issue proven for multiple games that are MMOs. so you can show those Americans you got what it takes to finish the job.

Anywho, I came here and just wanted to say, stop beating on my Old Republic life style, I feel like I'm playing the original Kotor, and Kotor2, with a whole bunch of people around me. I'm living the dream its a RPG as well i got my companions, or shall I say my slaves because, I'm a Sith Lord and all..... 1-I want Bioware to keep their promise of always maintaining a server for us fellow RPGers, and to pay a monthly fee for the extra content, either that means adding more items to cartel market great! Some of us actually enjoy this, if anyone has ever played Aion they use a market similar to this but with better rewards and a bit more pricey considering its completely free. 2-I want the content they create free for me as a subscriber because I don't want to purchase new titles from Swtor becauseI'll get them for free at the cost of a membership. Thats killer because I get free content at the expense of 15 dollars which is virtually nothing if you work and can afford it you wont mind it. Thats easily the least amount of money I'd spend at a bar enjoying "myself". I want to enjoy myself through playing my childhood game that is constantly being updated! 3-They offer an awesome companion system that follows you around in story all the way through thin and thick and start to finish. When the odds are against you he'll or she'll will die with you unless of course your PvPing there are no companions because you have to bring the inner Stone Cold Steve Austin out and show them whats up because I'm the Darth Malgarios and I'll fight you because I will rule the galaxy! So yeah give me more companions, Oh wait thats what 4.0 is right????..... -Possibly more professions that would lighten up my day, mind you I've only ever had BioChem, Diplomacy, and Bioanalysis since launch haha. 4-More world event's bring me back to old locations well BECAUSE we are all LEVEL CRUNCHED!!!!! so in reality even though you'll kill those monsters with relative ease it still makes it enjoyable as killing Kath Hounds on Dantooine in Kotor. I enjoy world PvP but its totally up in the air and all...who knows? I like Warzones and I can't complain because I enjoy being a utility box aka PvP tank Juggernaut tank. "You" Have to enjoy the class you play or simply reroll or better have all of them!!?? -A stronger marketings system through the social medias on the interwebs!!! So WE the community can get more people involved and encourage players that do NOT use these the Swtor Forums. I want to address them as a mass, everyone has a voice we are all equal in the keys of the 15 dollars a month if your a subscriber we all get to post on forums! Swtor is my escape from reality; that is equivalent to fact, of playing the Knights of the Old Republic and falling in love with Bastilla and her awesome Battle Meditation!

This involves internet connection and server connection, this has nothing to do with your graphics cards rendering capabilities and your processors capabilities of processing. If you'd like help for optimization so you don't suffer low fps reply to me by giving me a list of what your computer specs are

This makes a huge difference from living or dying, the cast bar will be slower on your end and easier to interrupt, what is going on when you hit that button on your keyboard is, your internet is sending a signal to the server and then the server proceeds by projecting the action. Any delay in time is bad, I'm sure we've played fps's and experienced "lag" and hated every second of the rubber banding. There is a fix for this sever delay if your are experiencing these issues, it's called wow latency fix it should bring your ms from 200-300 to 50-100 for me my me remains around 20-30 before fix 250-300. Anything below 100 ms is precise action.

To kill this thread, did anyone take into consideration that maybe the PvP companion is for the PvPers? *HOLY SNICKEYS, IM MIND BLOWN* get real people there is no solution to someone coming into a PvP match with full PvE gear they ether get murdered or they do a hell of a job, and its called working for the gear unlike some of you that haven't been here since launch understand warzone caps of 2000 or reaching a certain valor rank to wear gear and almost every gear piece costing 800-1600 warzone points, I mean come on whats the problem they reduced the prices ten fold, 140-400? This is what honestly brought me back because i wasn't able to keep up and put the time and effort to constant grinding. They made this game too easy for discussions like this.

Mad dash reduces all damage intake which is highly effective and an escape route. Now I've played the game since launch and I'm not new to PvP in any major MMO or have ever had a problem with any class pertaining to the persistent qqs people always have about the balance of the game. i was playing in the level 65 bracket when that situation went down regardless if its a well organized team if the player knows what he is doing he will advocate the fact they can put up one hell of a show when its 1v8 and ultimately taking a scoundrel with me (he shot gunned me twice while saber reflect was up, fairly easy to take him with me). I've been Tank PvPing since launch I believe the PvP is easy and not in the sense to bash on it, so I consider myself a seasoned veteran that has player skills required to handle any situation. Malgarios POT5 Juggernaut. On top of all this I'm anti-healer in the case of needing saving! I ran triple DPS eZ in WoW who needs a healer anyway? (Not directing to coordinated ranked PvP, this is in the sense of casual PvP play and possibly up against a premade group)

ok i felt as if, we were saying its essentially useless to waste time using guard, because the expense would be death from people not doing objectives.

If you don't like getting CC'ed then I suggest to out skill the opposing player or try to negate what they throw at you so you can flip the tide of the war. This concept has always been around and wow cc is awful coming from a 2.2 rated holy paladin that would always get ****ed in a cc from RMP, or WMP and even DSW. Did Vader feel the cc of Emperor Sidious to save his son Luke, yes!!!!! But who won? oh Vader right?

I mean its fair to say, each class needs flaws, its how you overcome them which make you the better player. If its really an issue when you feel as if the stealth enemy is close towards the beginning of the match, use in enduring rage i believe the spell is so you gain the force points to use thunderclap or slash *sorry for the wow term lol*. You have to remember you're a walking super star destroyer, but with those shields off a dying A-Wing can take you with it.

I believe we are off track from helping people with guard. The idea of guard is to save the battle towards the progression of the objective so your team is well defended, I'm not saying follow the null DPS that avoids objectives that hunts for kills. Use guard as a tactic towards objectives, if your defending the nod, door, or database and your outnumbered defend someone so you guys outlast the attack. I rarely even worried about my health because I'm 10k over everyone else and while I do guard I make sure i contribute so that I damage mitigate therefore leaving me well above 75% health and living. Every 4v4 situation in PvP arenas i rarely never drop below 50 percent health due to guard because the damage isn't significant enough to effect all the damage reduction i already have. If dying is the issue because you guarded a player pop saber reflect therefore no damage is being effected to you. This is completely situational and hard to put a finger on the exact issue you tanks are having using guard.
