Interesting. Thanks for all the info guys

So the last time I played was when the level cap was 50, which was quite awhile ago and so I've been out of the loop and wanted to know what the current state of sage's/sorc's are at the moment? Any drastic changes I should know about from the past 2-3 years? How are the two dps specs performing, pve & pvp wise? Are we still extremely squishy pvp wise? Anything that I may have overlooked that would be useful to know? Thanks

yeh im not a clicker either but just the thought of having to be in cover for abilities to work i guess i don't really like to be restricted in my movement

yeh the cover mechanic bothers me too or i probably would have made a sniper already i think i'll give commando a go as i like the idea of the big guns and i find some of their armour pretty nice but my god the story is so boring

hi i played the game at launch, took a long break and i recently came back i have a 50 sage but i just can't seem to get into it so i was looking for something else to play. i tried a low assassin i had already and although i do like the aspect of stealth i much prefer range classes and from what i've heard sins are usually resorted to node def in pvp (which i'd be more focused on) which doesn't sound that fun what are the current state of commando/merc in pvp now? i remember them being pretty bad before but has that changed much since nearly 2 years ago? baaah i don't know what to play ;_;

on tomb of freedom nadd it is the same, even in 50 pvp, such a nightmare trying to get the weekly done haha, i think of my level 34 merc i have more wins than my 50 sage

a 'moderate heal' a 20 sec cd on force speed and immunity while force speeding which you need to go half up the healing tree to get really isn't a buff taking away something that is vital to survive and giving something mediocre at best leans more towards bad for the dps class than good, sure the heal is okay i suppose, cd reduction is great for heals and bal, and no root is okay for heals, but the fact our only defensive ability to get melee off us just got nerfed to the ground and the fact our stun range just got nerfed to the ground. so thats 2 nerfs, 1 moderately okay oh **** heal and 1 'okay?' cd recuc to the squishiest char ingame... and everyone else kb are the same? wut?

i have to agree, these changes are definitely bad for dps sages the benefit from the heal just doesn't come close to what has been taken away, and the fact i have force speed on 20 sec cd already :/ i vote negative

i play pvp with balance, recently started trying out hybrid tele/balance for hopes i would fair better, i didn't 1. easy kill, useless dps, always the first to be targeted 2. i enjoy the class but it is simply not competitive, dot spec when other classes dots do more damage and tick faster? way too squishy, dots need more damage or higher tick times and i'd like more burst, the fact that i have 1 ability hits for like 2.7k, while pretty much every other class has several abilities the hit for over 3.5k, combine the lack of burst, dots that don't do enough damage, no survivabilty all adds up to more and more frustration for my favourite class to the point im looking at making something else where i would atleast have fun and be of use to a team

cntrl uu fixes the display bug

hey guys, im not sure if this is just me or if others have the same issue. now i want to start and say i have really bad internet but the past 2 weeks or so (perhaps 1 as i know my internet was bad that week and it was effecting other games) but as of right now all other games i play are perfectly fine. the problem is when i log in, where the connection bar is will either be 1 bar, then go to the red x and log me out after several minutes or it will be on the red x instantly and log me out after several minutes. on the few times it lets me play i have random connection drops, now i know this could be my internet but surely if it was it would affect other games i play with the same regularity that it does with swtor? which it doesn't, so is it just me or do others have this too?

okay so i already have a bh merc at around level 34 tho i do like it, the problems when pvping just frustrate me after awhile, i have a 20 odd sage, and a 20 odd assassin, both i enjoy but again after awhile i get bored of them, i made an operative and thats around 13, i just hate the fact i picked a ranged class and it's more melee than ranged, i suppose i could try healing on it but i tried that on my merc and i just can't cope with living no longer than 10 seconds 9 times out of 10 i generally prefer ranged classes but im not a real big fan of the whole cover thing for snipers, and half the ranged have more melee so im wanting opinions from you guys on what you think is fun to play and why etc

hey everyone not sure where to put this so thought i'd stick it in here. I have a monthly internet cap and haven't played the game in awhile, pretty sure i have the game patched upto 1.1 maybe 1.2 and was wondering if anyone could tell me the approximate size of all the patches since 1.1?
