  1. so can a cat on fire. give an example. attempting to break peoples stealth is an acceptable use. In Regs and solo queue where you are not working out stuns with your team mates it is just bad as you are not breaking peoples stuns with storm. In group play where you are on mumble or whatever and you know who is stunning what when and where.. okay maybe
  2. I never got far enough with assassin to do ranked.. but seems to me phase walk owns all in ranked ( except bubble after the poison comes out.. barrier wins in that situation ) i ment heal others.. but i get ya :-)
  3. Please don't quote/comment like that as it is hard to read for old men like me with bad eyes a pain in the butt to quote.. so i won't quote you so if i miss something.. sorry. I'm sure most sorcs would like to have the net that mercs have as well or some other defensive CD that is not on a 3 minute CD... but no they get one DCD and one insta heal every 30. you make it sound like being able to move when you use your combat stealth is a bad thing? combat stealth = remove from combat every two minutes(i think?). force speed or phase walk away LOS heal ( health stim then your regen ability will get you back fast since out of combat probably reset for you) back in action in 10 seconds (like force barrier only in stealth) I for one greatly prefer combat stealth over barrier.. if assassins had a heal spec i'd probably play one more often. if your mara.. well then your probablly effed anyway just give up and roll assassin But really every class has their 'oh crap' button(s) some have more than others.. sorcs might be pretty good but it also has a long *** cool down and their only real defensive cool down can be stopped by net. Mercs oh crap buttons just suck.
  4. I'll be damned never saw that before, nor have I ever notice it work before. granted if i'm using it and someone wants to get to me they speed/leap/roll/hydraulic to me in such a case the snare doesn't matter. switched to madness so havent used it for a month or so, so i have not paid that much attention. ( now working on my heals actually but that is a whole nother topic.) lets also remove pinning fire from unload/blazing bolts for merc too!
  5. no i think he ment storm because of the AOE. (edited my post cause i also referred to the wrong ability d'oh) Lightning Bolt's Snare is fine as long as it doesn't stack. Though adding a 5-10 second internal cool down on it may be useful. All the snare/root issues would be "fixed" if they added snares/root/stuns/etc to the resolve bar.
  6. pretty much, alittle tweaking and it is in a good place Net is about the only thing commando/merc has going for it... it isn't bad but maybe needs tweaked a bit, but seems to be in a good place. I dont' mind phase walk, as long as it doesn't purge dots. maybe a second or two immunity from damage or something. If they can purge, they should allow other classes to purge again. Force barrier gets a lot of crap it doesn't deserve. by itself it isn't all that good, okay but not good. with the utility point in healing it is okay. IF (thats a big if) you have a healer near by then it is pretty darn good, but not what i would call OP. The healing it provides with the utility is about one crit from a sniper. You have to remember hitting force barrier makes the Sorc useless for the duration of the channel. No more casting by that sorc until the channel is broken. The only time it is fairly OP is at the end of a ranked match you can bubble the overtime poison damage Unlike other 'oh crap' buttons.. this one makes you useless. force barriers description should be something like, "here wear these safety goggles while i put a nail through your foot." chain lightning doesn't have a snare. you may mean force storm? if so, it has been removed... but in general no. ranged only defense against melee is staying out of melee range long enough to end the battle. the only chance melee has to get a ranged is to root snare them long enough to end the battle. sure maybe tweak them a bit, but not remove them completely. agreed, again electro net is about the only thing merc/commando has going for it in pvp.
  7. This is pretty much the way to go. Chain Shock or Empty Body, Sith Defiance, Sapped Strength. Emerson, Electric Bindings Force Mobility and Corrupted Barrier. In madness i run the same only with empty body instead of chain shock exclusively.
  8. Try This for general pvp. switch it up a bit if you find your self going against certain classes or certain objective maps repeatedly. Sap Strength often seems to be ignored.. i think of it as a Sorc Taunt in pvp. basically reduce someones damage for 12 seconds every 45. after patch maybe switch chain shock to empty body. Don't bother with backlash. the only time it is almost useful is if you get stunned by a stealth, they get stunned for 2 seconds and get more on their resolve bar then you force speed away. Use overload with binding, turn overload and they are already away and rooted so you can unload on them. Overloads fairly short cool down make this more useful, the only crappy part is that you have to turn to face them.
  9. I don't care what spec you are... unless you where dueling using force storm in pvp is just bad. the ONLY thing is should be used for is stopping a group from capping. There are very few situations where it would be useful. don't waste a utility point on it.
  10. lol i do, I get in the mentality that if you are posting on you tube or twitch you think you are a game god.... you know you are not, i like that ;-) BTW your one vid about the harbinger leaving.. yeah it has gotten really bad the past two weeks or so. I haven't gotten to play this week but last week it was pure poopy. 5 people running to 'our' node.. i need a /facepalm macro. Used to be pretty decent.. now.. just bad. If it doesn't get better i may have to move one of my toons to better pastures.
  11. Tend to agree with most everything. change shock/project so that it is a saber spear insta with utiliy point follow up with a shock/poject. and to make it different than a saber throw have it go like a spear instead of end over end could help speed up the animation not sure about the bubble.. i like the idea but hard to justify how it would block dots like affliction or something. but would give a better explanation on why you cannot take ANY other action while bubbled.
  12. I'm not 100% sure if match making sucks or if all the players suck and have to play assassin. Their team: Assassin, Assassin, Assassin, Assassin My Team: Assassin, Assassin, Assassin, Sorc. There have been quite a few matches this season where I was the only non stealth.. mostly against assassins but a few operatives.
  13. Should be under the suggestions sub forum. See this thread for a few of my ideas similar to what others have offered up. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=801208
  14. when i queue with my guild it is mainly to just my daily/weekly done faster so i can move on. I would assume MANY of those doing pre-mades are in the same boat.
  15. there i fixed your original post for you. Joking aside. I understand your frustration. you got used to playing a certain way.. now you cant. now have to use more than a couple buttons and now actually have to use the rest of your abilities in the correct way and not rely on the "Oh crap" button. It sucks but its happened to most classes/specs at some point.
