I like the idea of Pooled Hatred only affecting certain abilities and including stuns not only snares and roots. Adding DR to that would probably make it a must pick which is something that should always be avoided. Other than that i really think Rage/Focus needs more passive damage mitigation. Not just those 3 DCD's and then "whoops youre gone". So many classes as of now have ridiculous consistent mitigation that it just makes Juggernaut feel very lackluster, especially considering he is a heavy frontline bruiser. Rage/Focus Utility and Movability are on point in my opinion. If you use your stuff right, it is hard to kite you. If you prematurely use them, people are able to kite you. Just as it should be. On top of that you offer decent dmg mitigation for your team through Intercede Guard Taunt and Threatening Scream. What BW now could do for Rage/Focus make us tankier or increase our damage to align us with the rest of most classes. What i think Bioware should do though is: Get all the other classes defensive capabilities down to our level and reduce the overall consistent damage mitigation of other classes in the game. That way our utility becomes a lot more noticeable and important plus our damage would start to have a way better impact on most classes thus forcing them to play a lot different and giving classes like the Juggernaut a lot more room to breath.

Id love to see some parses or especially PvP Experience concerning this. So far i stack 85% critdmg softcap, 10% alacrity, dump rest in power for PvP and it works fine for me. Though i always hope for this one secret trick that would turn Rage finally into the Killing Machine it deserves to be. It's a strong spec dont get me wrong, but sometimes the effort you have to put in to do well compared to other classes / specs just makes it very apparent that Bioware really doesnt have much love for Rage.

So i just came back recently, prior to the CXP nerf to the dailies and was roaming the daily areas with a friend of mine in the PvP instance. I gotta say, haven't had that much fun in SWTOR in quite a while. In 2 Hours of playing we had like 5/6 random World PvP encounters and smacked the **** out of those guys. Two 2v2's even that were super fun and lasted for a while. Why nerf the CXP and render the open world a deserted wasteland again? It was so much fun finally seeing the open world and experiencing it. Im not telling you guys to up to back where it was. But the dailies should be worthwhile doing! Get people out in the open world again. This game dies from being so instanced even though it has such a beautiful open world. Let people experience it doing worthwhile activities instead of just for the sake of nostalgia! Doing 1 hour of Warzones incl. Quests (dependant on wether you win or not) amounts to roughly 6000 to 10000 CXP. The same amount of time in dailies right now barely grants you 4000 CXP (roughly 2 zones if youre quick) with the exact same buffs (current CXP Event + CXP Boost). Please do something about it and motivate players to leave the fleet or their starships/homes again and go out and venture this beautiful world that we have in SWTOR. Add Dailies for every planet so even boosted players get to experience those planets. And bring the CXP back up to a level that makes it just as worthwhile as queueing for PvE or PvP content. Or even a bit more to give an extra incentive.

The pace of PvP at the moment is really slow. Average TTKs are extremely low, good players with the right classes almost never die. One of the main reasons though is that most people dont gear or play their classes right. Check your stat priority and your rotation. Looking for PvE Guides and then finding a compromise that works in PvP environments usually works best. Aside from that though, yes, the game is still fairly slow paced compared to other MMO's. But they are already working on it. With 5.5 a lot of healer nerfs hit the game and a lot of class balancing tweaks were done. But those were just the first of many more to come as far as the 2017 road map states. I'd love for the game to be more fast paced, a lot of classes are already in a good spot. Some just still need to be brought down to that level too. and the game will be a lot more fun.

For example. Another idea that i had, was lowering the daily and weekly req by half but make it require actual wins to force people to actually fight to win. As in 1 win for the daily and 10 wins for the weekly. Thats not unachievable for a dedicated PvPer, even if youre unlucky with teammates or just flatout not a good pvper yourself. It would at least keep those out that arent even willing to try in the first place. I think the issue is not that people cant play their class, it's that they simply dont bother trying as they dont care about PvP as such, thus ruining the experience for everybody else.

It is really annoying losing rating because you get paired with PvE'ers that simply dont give a damn about it and just sit there and wait until somebody kills them. I think there should be an added mechanism that revokes players quest progress on the PvP Quests if they heavily underperform.

I'd love to see a quality guide on Rage/Focus Talents/Rotation for HM/NiM. Also how to properly utilize utility for maximized group benefit (when to Awe/Kick/Masstaunt f.e.).

Hopefully with upcoming content and the server merge, the pvp instances in the world and also ranked/unranked is gonna get a bit more busy again. For that i am searching for a guild. You should provide: Voicechat Players that are proficient and/or passionate about pvp. Active Roster of Players. Focus on PvP, but willingness to PvE for the sake of variety. I will provide: Activity in Voice aswell as Ingame and on the Forums. Willingness to learn, and later on, teach fresh players. Easy going and drama free. Around 15 years of experience with rated/nonrated PvP in MMORPGs. Around the same amount of PvE experience just more casual in recent years due to real life making progress raiding rather impossible. I am currently maining a Jugg and a Guardian on Harbinger. Started SWTOR when it was initially released, but stopped soon after due to the heavy lag spikes on the fleet and low fps issues. Came back to the Game just when 4.0 hit, had a blast doing some Rated and non Rated PvP and then quit again due to not really being able to find a community of able bodied players to enjoy the game with. Now resubbed since 5.4 just casually strolling through warzones. Imp: Cruzify Pub: Tiuz Hit me up ingame or here on this post. Cheers.

Guardians/Juggs? Definitely the most consistently underwhelming class in the game. Have 3 people focus them for 15 seconds and theyre dead and useless until their defensives are back up.

At least you guys can stealth out. Jugg/Guardian just gets eaten alive unless his team supports him. Thats just the dilemma of the warrior/knight class in general. We can deal decent damage, but due to the fact of not having any consistent damage mitigation, we just get eaten once our defensives are on CD. Best you can do is hope for teammates to support you, manage your DCD's as effective as possible, watch your positioning. Storming headfirst into battle is mostly a bad decision.

I think its good. Now DPS classes' defensive capabilities need to be tuned down and pvp could actually become fun again.

Big issue of the current state of PvP imo is that some classes defensives capabilities are just too potent. If anything, they should tune down all the other classes to the level of Jugg/Sorc etc. to make PvP a bit more fast paced again. This "sitting on one target for 3 minutes" really gets annoying sometimes. It goes to the extent that some dps specs simply cant be beat by other dps specs because their consistent selfheal/utility just outvalues the consistent dps of the other class. Overall Defensives need to be tuned down exept for the classes that already have rather insignificant dcd's

Yeah easiest way is for sure to just play the flavour classes and call a decent strat that everybody agrees upon. Its a shame that BW really doesnt seem to give a single **** about PvP Class Balance. Juggernaut/Guardian or PT dps have been obsolete for months/years now. I dont have issues with a meta, but it should change every once in a while...
