  1. Yeah, I think you're right. I think I barely even use stealth anymore, save for the beginning of a war zone. The identity of the class is gone. I've resolved to deleting there game and leaving it indefinitely this time. Cheers.
  2. I'm an old school conceal/scrapper who just "returned" or more accurately went back to see the current state of the class. I don't see how anyone is enjoying the class, or probably even pvp as a whole, anymore. Conceal actually is way better damage then it used to be, and with KP you can keep yourself up a good deal, but the heart of the class is long gone, and as others have mentioned it just feels boring. Couple that with how nasty PTs/Sorcs are, and even sins and veng juggs, and I just can't see why anyone is boasting about op performance. It feels stronger in arenas now than wzs, but overall it's incredibly boring and lackluster. It might be as well that in my hiatus I've also taken up pvp in other games outside of MMOs for a change, and I feel the inherent skill cap for this game's pvp (being low) weighing in on my judgement, but I can't help but feel the class lost its heart and/or sole. It's definitely a lot better for someone playing as a lone wolf, especially those who've been waiting almost 3 years since launch to get that play style back, so I can see how people might be rejoicing since it is at least "ok" in pvp, but come on, it's far from great. Plus, I can see that I have very low tolerance for bad programming in his game anymore. I can't say how many times I got stuck while leveling in Rishi. I don't recall having such a hard time in Makeb in 2.0, the polish is nowhere present on the current installment, and personally I don't see how I can put money into something that is not refined.
  3. I had the same problem when I first logged in. Think it was behind all my ability bars. Odd that BW changed it around, but I guess gives even more customizability.
  4. AMG Art you still play? Now I've gotta come back to JC I'll xfer my Sin/Op combo tonight or tomorrow. 3.0 drops tomorrow I think? I'll look for you.

  6. What's up, long time no talk. I've decided to come back for the new expansion, something piqued my interest. Probably going to be playing Imp side now. Question is, should I bring my Assassin over? -Chive/Covert/Crackshot/WhateverYouKnowMeAs
  7. Have you ever considered a hybrid medic/DF spec instead? http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#701MffMzhRozZZGboRrrooM.3 I used to use that for pvp and dailies when scrapper got boring, the uptime on damage is ridiculous in correlation to downtime on you healing yourself. I used to play that and keep Risha out for dps rather than Guss. To note, that spec is also stellar for soloing 4H bosses for group dailies and the like. Plus WS > SP any day for me in terms of damage output.
  8. I'm just coming back to the game, but definitely doesn't look like there is any reason to play scrapper any longer. I would argue that prior to the 2.0 changes, this kind of change (specifically, KO no longer actually being a KO, rather a root now) would have been relatively "fine", as in 1.7 I think this game's balance was nearly as best I've ever seen it. With all the 2.0 buffs that went around, scrappers lives were made harder. Enter 2.7 and not just how poor this design change will make us in warzones, but factor in arenas? There is literally no place for a scrapper. Shadows have been better this whole while, not to mention they are easier to play/master. Only having done a few warzones since coming back, from what I've seen the pvp community as a whole seems to be of lesser skill (or maybe gear) than compared to when I left. It is entirely possible that most of the hardcore pvpers have moved on and there are even more casuals now, especially since this has always been a more casual game. I only say that because it's possible BW is nerfing KO due to a wide range of lesser skilled players getting owned and being vocal about it. Blizzard nerfed rogues and kept them nerfed, last I played Wow some 4 years ago. They didn't have a solution to all the stunning and critical damage, so they chose to do roughly the same thing BW is doing. I don't have nearly as much faith in BW coming up with a solution as I would a powerhouse like Blizzard, so pretty much expect them to stay nerfed. At least smash monkeys are finally getting nerfed. I'm sparing even looking at their forums just because I don't want to read a flood of whining coming from players who don't actually know what it's likes to get the shaft... - Crackshot @JC
  9. I've got my shadow/sin and scrapper/op all on here. Shadow is Foxxdìe (alt+141 for the ì). I'll be on tonight in a little bit. Hell, I'll just load it up right now while I do other stuff. If you're in game just whisper me.
  10. Nah, not into Wildstar. Might give ESO a try since I was in a few beta sessions, but overall not interested in MMOs in general. Shoot me a message if/when you're coming to Bastion. I'll send you my info to grp up.
  11. I was thinking about staying on Bastion. Always been more appealing to me personally than pot5. JC was such a waiting game for a pvp queue to pop 3 months ago before I left, can't picture it being that much better than it was. Plus, that and I'm not sure how much I'm going to invest in this game. Pretty much seems the same as before I left it, nothing new to see until probably the next expansion since I'm not into starship fighting. Pvp has been stale enough for the past year, not much incentive to stay.
  12. I was just thinking that as I was reading through the prior comments. That would make DF such an awesome spec, pve and pvp alike.
  13. Going, what's up man. What's your toon's name on here? I just came back a few days ago, looking to see who else is on Bastion. - Formerly TheChive
  14. Part of the reason I left this sorry game is bads like yourself, probably a smasher to boot. Enjoy your catered to class ***s don't know what it's like playing a real class.
