Overpowered class gets nerfed and people unsub. More 1.2 News at 6! Coming up: GUNSLINGER SIGHTING! The first level 50 Gunslinger to be sighted since February was seen in a Nar Shadaa cantina playing Russian Roulette with himself.

Yeah if you're running 3 sorc healers and a Jugg tank.

Doing damage and getting kills is essential in every WZ except the odd case of forcing respawns on a ball carrier about to score. You will never win a WZ if you can't kill anything. And no, mercs, sorcs, and operatives do not out damage snipers and gunslingers. Not by a long shot. And if they are, you're GS or sniper is terrible.

By useless gear and vender it for credits. That's all you can do.

Yes, please continue to reroll while I blow everyone out of the water in damage every single warzone.

I think classes need to have their abilities types adjusted to be more consistent like Gunslingers and Snipers. For instance Grav Round/Tracer missile should be a ranged attack and thereby subject to mitigation. As well as many other Trooper/Bounty Hunter abilities. Too many are considered Tech damage. Force attacks need to be able to be resisted more by defense across the board. They don't need to be subject to block or parry or anything like that, just a flat resist chance that is increased with increased defense.

With full cd's 1v1. Powertechs and Vanguards are unbeatable.

All the classes in the game are self-sufficient. Some are simply better at the solo pvp game than others. If you think Marauder is as self sustaining and non healer reliant than say an Assasin, Operative, Powertech or Merc, than you are sadly mistaken.

Yeah, it was kind of a low blow for Bioware to just decide to focus people on getting away from Ilum instead of tightening up and just fixing the place. It could be a really cool zone if they just fixed the absurd slideshow server lag when you have full ops going against each other, and actually put in objectives that mattered.

I would NOT try out a marauder if you don't like being reliant on having a healer at your back.

So you go into WZ's looking for 1v1's? Me = confused

That's not a bad spec I might try that out. Any thoughts on full tank tree for PvP leveling? Or at least not going up to overhead slash? I find myself sitting in Soresu and playing defensive for my team mates more often than I find myself trying to pump out damage. I'm not high enough level to get up into the tree that high yet though, and maybe the upper tiers of defense aren't so good or something, that's why I'm asking you guys

Hello Guardians. Basically I'm looking for some recommendations from you all on leveling. I'd like to know what spec everyone thinks is the overall best spec for leveling and with what companions. For the majority of my leveling I plan on doing pretty much straight PvP and class quests. I don't plan on doing many flashpoints or many side quests or any of the bonus series at all. So with that in mind what would you all recommend and why? So far I had been going up the Vigilance tree, but I end up going into Soresu form a lot anyway for guarding in WZ's.

Healers get less medals than us.

Obviously there are no meters. But there are ways of testing dmg. You can't track exact numbers and all that, but all you need is a good ol fashion stopwatch and something to beat on for a while. 4th boss in EV for example, you can solo the mob and time your dmg without aggro'ing the other mobs. And about the PvP thing. Obviously PvP you can top meters all the time, or end up getting screwed if you get focued a whole match and not left alone. So those numbers can be varied, but generally as GS I'm practically always top dmg by quite a substantial margin. Consistency is usually a pretty telling factor. And for you saying that other classes have better dmg. You aren't doing it right. Sentinel and Commando aren't far behind, but that's the way it's supposed to be. No one class should be ridiculously higher than the others. From my experience Sharpshooter dmg is lower than DF from what I've tested, if that makes a difference to anyone.
