get premades out of regs, period. go to 4 and 8 man ranked. make it so you cant have 2 healers of same class, so 3 sorcs cant happen, but sorc op and merc would be ok. 4 dps per team, 2 tanks per team. the problem is the system, not classes or players. bad players verse bad players can be a amazing game, but premade verse bads isent. so stop it...simple. no team speak in regs, and no premade. at all. regs are for average , bad or solo players. how could biofail ever think a team of 4 to 8 on team speak, within same guild or that play all the time, wouldnt kill regs? so basicly i have to play regs and verse premades, but if you dont want to play premades you cant? some chioce there....my chioce is to lose and lose badly all the time. thats why pvp is bad. bracket system sux, and im sorry , but good teams shouldnt be pounceing regs for easy wins...players use the excuse of there wouldnt be any ranked left, wait....there was no ranked pvp when game started right? first year or 2 pvp was very fun...sorry to say, but the premades have all the advantages in regs...all. you would think someone would get it by now...that what they have isent working . yet still a premade fest. in regs...

level syncing isent the fix either. from the start bio just had to many planets. eq had one, with many smaller zones. bio could have done 3 planets and the grind to 50 would have been just as good. caus ein end they are great at story. the story could have been 3 planets and been good. watch the movies, there isent 15 planets in them...2 3 4 maybe. yet the story can still flow. i also belive leveling is far to easy. im sorry but nobody should be able to go from 55 to 60 or 60 to 65 in one weekend. thats obnioxous. atleast make me work for it for month...as in all things else, mmos finding it hard to exist , when young kids and men ladys, want everything instantly with no work, sounds like todays youth, 20 bucks hr even tho i no nothing...and free collage... cant run mmos that way. just reward players with content, gear you camp or buy, thats good, and new zones every month or two and great story. they will play.

while tela isent totaly wrong, he isent totaly right. im sorry but go play eq, ultima, daoc, wow. when those games were king, they had story, raids, tradeskills, and alot of grouping that was typical crawls. have to balance it all out , but i played eq 13 years, cause i always found groups..i also played due to being able to solo my way thru content. swtor, just isent getting it. if you have drops worth it, people will group if reward. every game today rather have you do dailys for reward, and thats just boreing. have mobs drop great loot, have smaller scale story stuff, and bigger. everything in this game revolves around coms and pvp in a wz. fix the grouping, youll have players ganking agian which creates open world pvp. its not in some 8 verse 8 wz, its in it all. every part of game has to be balanced to reach every type of player...solo, group, story, raid, pvp, like eq did, wow , ultima, none of them were typical games...

go with the op class, everyone else does. always....get in wz, face 4 sorcs, 2 shadow, pt, op. always....same team on imp side over and over and over. in 4s? 7 out of ten times in regs you get 3 sins and sorc, or 2 sorc heals and 2 sins or bh...i never seen a game that just cant even the classes in a wz.. ever. if they could even classes out per wz, not one person would cry the game has zero balance pvp wise...the blance is in the way our dumb devs who stink , cant put a simple check on the 4 sorcs in every wz...

its not the spec. thats a flat out lie. every spec can pull great numbers easy. the idiot who saying it is clearly plays on great teams all the time. im sorry but i use watchman in regs and its fine. just need the heal boosted and it be very viable. you say only regs? well, on jc in regs you always face a smash pug imp team that usally 4 man, if not 8. they rape regs all the time. so if im facing ranked 4 mans in regs, how isent watchman viable? when i can easily be top 3 in offense? explian please, cause you sir sound like the elitest pvper who go right to the god mode classes. must have 2 shadows and pt...swear...

class isent broken by far. give watchman the heal back, the spec is fine then. combat, actully is in decent spot atm, has ok defense and burst, if played correct its very good. concentration as well isent in bad spot. from my piont the offense isent the problem, every spec can be number one on leader boards easy. sent is just a class that, when your on bad team, the class can stink. i play alot of watchman in regs and i never have issues when i play sneaky, i belive if they gave the heal a lil boost the spec could be viable in ranked easily. it just has no defense other then def cds. which players always no when they are on cd. bye bye then. just up the dam heal, already. other then that if you are not pulling numbers with combat your bad at it. the spec atm is far better then wm and concen. alot of sents just jump into 5 players expecting god ability with this class, cause it was so strong early in game. once agian, bad teams bring out worst in the class. play lil sneaky and you will have better results. cause alot of imp maras are very aggressive, why? they have better teams all the time. on jc. easy to be aggressive when healed well, or tank is doing job on team. so if your on bad team, play less aggressive, and more sneaky. just give sents back the heal and the class fine as is...

also, yes force melt is just stupid, while the extra dps ability is nice, just make an existing ability have another dot. the rotation was perfect with overload and other dot working way they did. the only bad part to the spec is we have group heals that simply do not heal enuff, when ranged classes and other dps are taken half health in one hit, or killing you in a globel. fix the dam heal already, it negates other classes dpsing heal out of you and group. you never ever try and fix something thats not broke. bio totaly screwed up and made alot of people leave the class due to heals sucking now....

on the damage side there is nothing wrong with sents atm, if there is for you, you do it totaly wrong. for watchman the only fix they need are to bring back group heals. the one ability that made us such a great player for groups. im sorry but bio dances around the issue all the time. admit you blew it by maken the heal suck, fix it to what it was and move on. doing that offsets are horrid defense. cause thats what we are, wind bags. that dps alot. to the person who says watchman isent viable, please go back to your premade imp group and pocket healer. or your deception sin or op sage. ill play my sent. and in watchman. the spec is totaly fine. just put heals the way they were...simple really.

any argument has to start with group heals. the watchman spec was viable due to heals. self healing atm is so bad that it just dont heal enuff. not the way burst is. aside of that i have no issues with dps. more then not i can kill a sage or healer if i want, unless they are really really good. dots are perfect atm, merc slash hits, even ramp up im fine with. the issue is without grp heals this class will always be bad in a wz when you have zero healing. unless you play stealthy, pick spots and play smart. when the other guys is caught offguard, you have far better chance of pressuring him and killing him. if you just play objectives and smart, you can do so many things to help win wz, like get ahead of other team with doors, also get into endzone unseen, or invise and get the kill when guy is low, or snare, aoe damage, alot of things can do that are usefull. but sents issue always starts at the garbage, the utter garbage self and group heal we have, its a flat out joke biodevswearunderoos had gaul to even make it were it is today. they shoulda been shot...

server is dead...i want all my elitest crybaby ubber pvpers back....they all left due to the noobs. bring them back bio or i will follow them to the ubber elitest server...i want my crybabys back who yell scream kick and argue with the noobs in regs...i loved when premades rolled noobs in pvp . the games are never close, i always won, got carried well. i didnt even do any dps and won my games! caus enow since the games are even, close and fun, the game sucks! bring back ubber elitest pwners! now bio or i qiut! honestly, last week or two games have been fun, close, no crying, no argueing, so i have been enjoying pvp on pot5. so glad all the ubbers left, good bye...just never come back please...the server actully is fun agian...

the level 52 ones work for dailys and weaker content, so you still have them. just weak. totaly agree, biochem was better when game started. whats the use of leveling a crew skill if you dont get some advantage to it? so it seems we are all even. everyone gets a trophy theory...sad that the game makes a dumb change like this, but for 2 years now sents have been crying over group heals to be what they were. yet they never return it back, when its the one buff they need. solves the classes problem, period. sometimes, this game makes no sense. can easily be best game out there , love game play, pvp is rather decent, game looks great, yet stupid things matter more to devs like reusable stims and med packs, that really didnt have advantage. im sorry, but i never beat another player due to medpacks. just nitpicking to serve the mass cry babys...or the elitest player who does nothing but cry...

the only issue with watchman still is grp healing still isent enuff. that said i like it alot. just raise the heals guys, thats what made us survive. not 40 def cooldowns...

great post sailk. you are really correct. you have to be sneaky and dont lose cool and try to face tank. the invise is just to good to not use 24/7. my best games come when im inviseing to lose my guy and attacking out of nowere. totaly correct you are. anyone else doing it other ways isent playing this class correct.

i belive the class just cant be right without more self/grp heal power. thats what made the class worth it. other then that, combat and watchman are kinda in good spot...

you really have to use utilities with this class, last night i guarded doors with sorc and 2 jugs o n me, had 14 kills and 5 deaths. and i play in watchman, with over 500k total damage. not great stats by any strech, but useing invise and gbtf in right spots helps. some heals to which if your team dont have, you done anyhow. but utilities keep us up, the one ability you just cant ignore in watchman, invise and being sped up with dot remover is $$$. i think the changes are very much in line, but once agian, if you take the no ramp time spec, you playing fools gold. best dps isent what we are...we are there to pressure and annoy. to buff team for better dps, speed. if you use watchman or combat, youll get these instead of the ubber omg i can out dps everything. sorry but numbers are not half as good as me inviseing and tst a door with 3 imps trying to plant, 10 times match...
