This should not be the nature of MMO's and we as a community should not tolerate it. You paid for the product and pay a monthly fee to use it. MMO Developers should not have the ability to manipulate the product you purchased at will. There aren't many other products where manufacturers can do that. You invest a significant amount of time in an MMO and then the rules change. When your class gets nerfed, others classes say, "Ha! You're OP and you deserved it". They don't realize that their class will eventually be on the chopping block sooner or later. Eventually we'll all move on to something else only to have it be repeated all over again. ...but whatever, its just a game, right?

For me, the giggle was one of those really cool stupid little things that made the Operative stand out. This certainly isn't the end of the world yet all the negatives are starting to add up. The cons are slowly outnumbering the pros. It never fails. As soon as you invest significant time into a character, Devs feel they need to make changes to it. When you get frustrated and say "WHY!?!?"; instead of the community sticking together, you get trolled and told to adapt, L2Play, or some other BS about the evolution of the game. I suppose if Lucas can do it to the movies, the Devs can do it to the SWTOR.

I reported him at the time the even occurred. I dislike snitching however I dislike cheaters even more so.

The jurry is still out on this one for me. Great point though. I'm not familiar with the term "DD attacK". On my Sage for instance though, if I hit them with Mind Crush that will interrupt initially however if I hit them with Weaken Mind, which doesn't have an immediate damage effect, that will not interrupt them. If the damage from a DoT breaks a mez, why wouldn't it interrupt a cap?

OP I get ya. Its the duty of the TEAM to protect the healer thats keeping them alive so they can keep DPSing. If you find no one supports you try mentioning it politely in chat. If they still don't support you, switch to DPSing for the remainder. Your best bet IMO is to get into a guild so you can do premades and stop pugging. Also, MVP votes don't really mean much.

At minimum the application of the DoT should interrupt the cap. Taking damage period should interrupt it though. Would of been better to just disable the side speeders on Alderan if that was an issue. I also feel DoT's should be cleared once the player that applied it dies.

Just had the same thing happen in Civil War which brought me here. Jedi Shadow named "mindtrick" took a cap while never breaking stealth. Immediately after taking the cap the rest of the pub team flew in for support. Organized cheating. This is obviously an exploit and hopefully BW makes a priority to fix. If we're lucky maybe they'll make examples of the exploiters like mindtrick.

I've had issues where I've been on my BH in huttball standing by an acid pool and use grapple but they end up on the scaffold above me rather then in front of me. I've also had a few times where I have been on my Sage and had a BH grapple me right after I was knocked back and the grapple was ignored. I did not have a full resolve bar either.

Thanks for the link

Title says it all. Running 25/16/0. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#101crGcdMbkzZhGr0R0z.1 I originally traited deeper into Vengeance but felt the loss of Backhand, Sonic Barrier, and the Retaliation bonuses would affect my survivability as a MT. My goal is to be a viable end game raiding MT with the majority of my time spent in WZ's. I don't seem to have much aggro trouble and enjoy the bonus of Unstoppable and spamming Smash/Chilling Scream in PvP. Any revisions or educated criticism is welcome. Please keep the trolling to a minimum. *On a side note, are there any DPS tanks? Traiting Vengeance and running in Soresu form? The below link is what I had in mind. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#101crhczZhGr0rhdzMM.1 **On a side, side note... Our bleeds from Draining Scream and Eviscerate really need to be buffed.

My Operative is almost level 40 and this nerf really took the wind out of my sail. I'm probably going to abandon the class for now and see how things pan out. Unless a class is overwhelmingly OP, nerfing is not the answer. Nerfing creates disdain within the community while at the same time positively reinforces undesirable behavior by rewarding the malcontents. Great post OP. Hopefully someone who has influence will read it.

I've noticed quite a bit of skill lag. It seems to take forever for Savage Kick to go off after the target is slowed. The absolute worse for me is when I use force push in huttball. I'll "attempt" to push the ball carrier away from our goal and over the drop off but quite a few times it has actually pushed them behind me and across the goal. Complete opposite of what I intended it to do.

Whenever I switch forms I loose all my rage. Is this working as intended?

lvl 33 Veng Jugg here. My experience is pretty good as a Jugg overall however I don't think DPS is what it should be. If I did the same amount of dmg with Immortal spec then things would feel right. Currently my Pommel skill says it will hit standard targets for 1217 -1242. I think I'm pretty well geared for a lvl 33 and have the max mods for my lightsaber for my level. I am not seeing the dmg that my skills say they should be doing. If I pommel a standard target I maybe hit it for 700. Thats a far cry from 1200. Same goes for my other skills. Impale hits for 400 when the skill says it should be hitting for 900. Strong targets I'm only hitting Impale for 250. Not here to QQ. Just sharing my experience.
