I see you guys keep talking about stuff been given to dps but not tank, but tank its extremely broken in PvP and need biggest fix. For example, I did run some tests with friend and did you know that for tank, tank gear dose nothing? When I did change my 234-240 tank gear with 14k AR to 204 DPS gear with 10k AR I was taking on average only 5% more damage but my damage output was up but about 50% and crushing blow its doing 20k+ damage. I do not have enough gear to do this but I recon if I would keep my 234-240 armorings and get 234-240 DPS mods and enhancements, I would keep then my AR at 14k, my tank bonus and then probably there would be 0% difference in damage I take when compare with full tank gear and damage i deal would go even higher lets not forget that with DPS gear Tank can have very easy 120% accuracy or very high crit. People who pick tank class they pick this class to be a tank not DPS in tank stance. People shouldn’t even consider killing tank at the beginning of match but they do as killing tank its as easy as killing DPS actually you can kill tank two times faster then kiling merc DPS . I did some test with my merc too in PvE and merc have better CD and survivability then tank if merc would have taunt he would be one of the best tanks in game i bet not many did try merc in tank gear for pve, OMG this class its OP if i had taunt on my merc this would be my main tank and that it’s wrong Tank should be tank and DPS should be DPS. I left this game about year ago just got back thinking that 5.0 will fix many old broken classes and remove hybrid classes from game but i was wrong. some DPS can heal as effective as healer, DPS classes can take much, much, much more damage then tank etc. Fix its easy DPS should be DPS no heals no CD better then tank Tank should be tank, very low damage in PvP but very hard to kill and they should have plenty tools to keep his teammates alive (protection) Healers are the only classes which are not so bad, they do what they should be doing.

So I did run some tests with friends we did use few classes for each class we did set rotation and run this rotation few times to measure how much damage I take we did this for over hour. I did use full tank gear 234-240 rating and then I did use 204 DPS gear but I did keep tank shield, when I did this my Armor rating did drop from 14k to 10k. I was shocked that I did take on average only 5% more damage in my DPS gear. But big difference I could see in damage I deal in tank gear with 5 stacks of Pooled Hatred I was doing on average 12k damage but in my DPS gear I was easy hitting 20k damage. What I want to try its to keep all tank armouring’s for tank bonus, high HP and get at list 14k Armor rating but use DPS mods and enhancements.

Bioware you mess up again people did spend lots of money to get legend standing so they can buy Resplendent Crown of Avarice and you placed this now on packs so anyone can have it. You can buy one from GTM for 60k (anyone can wear this one) and if I go to vendor to buy it on my Legend standing I have to pay 6 certificates and 160k and you still need legend standing to wear it this one. *** its wrong with you BW. Question is how you will compensate this to people who did Legend just to get this head piece? Are we getting new item? Or will i get 12 certificates and 320k back as i can buy them from GTN now for 60k ? Something should be done as at the moment you just showing to people that getting packs to get Legend standing items make no sens and you better off wait for BW to drop them items for everyone.

What his name, there are only 5 sniper who pass 1500 mark if his one of them hi must be very lucky to get good groups or his extraordinary as eng just suck I play eng for 3 years and doing ranked its very hard as we lost pretty much everything. To compare PT and sins already pass 1900 mark. 90% of a time sniper eng will have half of the total damage done by adder classes. I play a lot on my jugger and every time I have sniper or mara in a group its very hard work to win. People who say that sniper its fine for PvP ranked have clearly never played different class or they are very lucky to get good groups. Mara and sniper are extremely bad. Its like they from different game you cannot even compare them with different classes. In ranked if you against sin even if you take them low they can DOT you go stealth, they out of combat now healing around the corner and you still in combat. Operative can do same. Jugger can reflect all your damage even explosive probe they will wait for you to apply this then hit Lightsaber reflect and walk to your plasma probe, you die unless you have CD or move your probe fast if you survive this he can still heal himself unless you doing 0 damage to him while his killing you. Sorc can just line of sigh you and his dots will kill you, you can do some damage to him there but his heals are bigger than your damage when his hiding. As for PT they simply immune to all your snares, stuns, CC with tank CD they can take no damage when you going for your explosive probe and then just shut you down and kill almost instantly. Sniper eng just suck big time now. I can kill sniper eng on all my classes very easy its not even fun killing them they so week.

I don’t know if you all noticed how few people its posting on this forums how bad eng is now. If this would be sin there would be millions of post and BW would be dancing around them to give them all they want. Problem is that not many people play eng and soon no one will play it and this is why we will never get fix as there will be no one to complain. Looks like they just trying to kill this class as this is easier then fix. Just look at juger they get fix in 3.1 but immortal its playable I have 3 of them and I can play it without problem. Eng its unplayable yet we hear nothing from BW. Why BW you prioritize wrong classes?????? Fix the worst one first, even easier just revert all changes it should be easy to do this.

Ok so have been doing lots of ranked and I have few sets of different mods and enhancements. I do this every time we get new gear to work out best stats. And Sniper eng its down on damage in PvP a lot (we do not talk here about PvE) Problem with PvP ranked is that combat do not last long so rotation damage dos not work as you will almost never execute rotation its all about burst damage cc, stuns and CD. Let’s take explosive probe and series of shots, this is our strongest ability combine with Laze target and armour bonus give us 2x100% crit what you have wrong there CaliKuch you will not get 10-12k damage twice what you get is this: Explosive probe, explosive probe (tech) this will be average 9300 with 100% crit Then your second 100% crit is Explosive Probe, Cluster Bomb times 3 (only one will 100% crit) and they will give you on average 5000 damage. Now combine this with Series of shots and you get total on average 25K. But to get this nr you will have to switch all alacrity enchantments which come as standard with your gear to accuracy and power. If you keep alacrity this combination will never give you more than 21k damage so you loosing 4k by havening alacrity. From all tests I did alacrity its useless for snipers in ranked, fight are too short to gain any advantage from it. Now with pre3.0 eng same combination Explosive probes and series of shots whose giving me on average 35k damage and sometimes I did hit 40k So you can see we are down on damage a lot. I do not want to go to many details but we lost damage on all ability’s plus we lost our AOE and lots of utility’s. Mind you all test I do its on fully 174 BiS geared friend. If you fight low geared person you will crit for 12k or even 13k. I’m guessing BW did have people like you testing eng and they did not spend enough time to analyse, everything properly. And look how removing utility’s will affect fast pace combat in ranked, where sniper its almost always focused. Sniper eng looks not so bad when you see some nr in normal WZ but as soon as you enter ranked it change.

I know how to play sniper eng m8 have been playing this class from day one and only pvp And with what you describe here will not get even close to what you could do to a group of people fighting next to doors. Just remember that my fragmentation grenade did cry for 5-7k on each target. Before I see group: Plasma prob->grenade-> roll thru them->grenade->roll thru them->grenade. While doing all this pick healer: target acquire->explosive probe->series of shots> Boom healer down and I just got 150k-200k damage done. Before in WZ on eng doing 1 mil damage you could do it very easy now so far I did it once. When it comes to 1vs 1 I cannot kill only PT at the moment. But this is still downgrade as before I could kill 2 vs 1 if I did have everything of CD now I can’t. But saying all this I do not have yet 174 BiS once I have this all may change. But even if with top gear my damage will be same this class suck big time. I do not mind loosing damage but I hate not having toys I use to have.

All this. to play sniper now i have to be superb bored. and since this was only class i did like in pvp and pvp was big filer for when there was no new content i can see myself cancelling sub if they will not bring much faster pve stuff to game.

I did compare my old pvp logs and I’m doing on average 40% less damage in pvp. I guess this is mainly due to not been AoE specialization anymore, so I would say eng have been nerv big time. But I can still do same damage on single target, but then why I would want to play sniper for single target? It was about aoe and utility’s and BW did take it all away so again it is big nerv to game stile

After playing more WZ and trying adder classes I must say eng its worst of them all now But not only in pvp have any of you try lvl up sorc **** damage of this thing they have huge AoE damage better then old eng and everything they use heal them, when I play with sorc it’s like god mode. But what make me angry most its our 3 global CD stun and we get only 2 sec stun. Every time I play against sin they can still stun me for as long as they like and with their insane new damage you die even faster than before 3.0. BW why all classes have instant stuns or even 2 which can last over 6 sec and we have this very stupid stun?????? Which is impossible to execute against any decent player. And why eng have been change from AoE class to single target class???? Why BW ? Why BW? Ohh why ? Ohh why did you mess up eng so badly? WHY?

BW in 2014 did start making very easy content only Nim operation have been challenging. Everything else have been pug without need of TS. All this create players which are not prepared to wipe even once you go to new ops you wipe once and people who did not even look up tactics quit. If BW its crafting SM and HM to be easy they have to do same with new stuff too as majority of today players do not want read tactics do not want to wipe they just want to pew pew. I can understand if BW would make SM so easy that everyone can do it and keep HM and NiM for guild organized groups this is fine but then keep doing this do not change with every big update. I have try to pug Temple of Sacrifice second boss countless times and when I try to explain tactics they do not want to listen and just jump to pew pew then wipe and quite. All this is because BW there are not people to be blame as BW give them so much easy stuff they want only this now. And BW plz do not give HM FP or HM-NiM ops to this group of players SM it’s enough for them But make SM super easy from start not like now you confuse casual players by making Sm to hard. I play as a tank and most tanks I tank with in pugs do not know what target of a target is or when I say we swap when you see debuf on me I get ask where I see this? People do not know basic stuff this days as game have been way too easy for to long and they never need it to know this.

Not to mention that new operation 8 man sm do not drop ultimate too and they much harder then ops which drop ulti comes. BW did mess up this completely.

To finish 3 HM lvl 60 FP will take 90 to 120 minutes and you will get 10 ultimate In 120 min you can very easy finish two 16 sm ops lvl 55 this will give you total of 40 ultimate comes Then most bosses in this operation can be done on HM easy too so you can cup your weekly 150 comes very easy in one evening just by doing easy operations, why anyone would go do hard stuf for ultimate coms? I bet BW instead of fixing this they will simply remove all ultimate coms from lvl 55 stuff. And change nothing to lvl 60 drops.

I have been tanking them all every day never had problems with any bosses except, First boss it Tython but he go down to if dps listen and do what they should do. Let’s do not nerv them, they easy as it is people just need to learn them.

After playing for some time with eng and adapting to new stuff I can pull same total damage at the end of WZ as before, and after many wz I did go back to top of damage but its extremely boring now. If I would get my second roll back and my short stun as it was before it would bring some of the fun I use to have. But grenade aoe need to come back every class can aoe now like crazy with minimum effort and best aoe class in the game lost it all. If BW will live this stun the way it is how about doing same to adder classes they can just stun us and keep killing maybe make it like this: Lift your arms->jump->spin around-> stun
