Actually a fair few of the pub pvpers have rolled imp which really is a shame since if they all played their pub toons more they'll get frequent pops and enjoy more of a challenge... But i guess harby imps just want easy wins instead of actually improving the quality of pvp on our server. Sadly this in turn contributes to the death of pvp overall. tl:dr: Harby imps need to grow a pair

Sorcs... Sorcs everywhere! I'm sorry to say that I do actually have a 53 sorc which I stopped playing over a year ago since they were too face roll even back then, but after coming back to the game last month its madness I say... madness!! Does this class exists solely for people who lack skill? Since other skilled players have also adopted playing their sorcs (for reasons I cannot understand and I'm sure they're slightly ashamed when they do) does this mean that I have to conform just to compete? I logged my sorc in over the weekend, queued for a WZ, ran into a group of pubs and gave the keyboard to my 4 yr old who is learning how to type 'qwerty' and he somehow won a 3v1... also on that note RIP scoundrel / commando heals

Agree with your thoughts on MMO's in general... Had a lot of fun with swtor in the past Well I've subbed for a month so will see how it goes.

That's a shame to hear. Really enjoyed this game in the first year or so of it's release.

After a 2 year break I'm thinking of getting back into a little PvP. I left due to the long queue times and lack of balance so I'm now hoping that things have improved. On that note what are the big things (PvP wise) that I've missed over the last two years and which of below classes should I avoid playing? Shadow Scoundrel Commando Sentinel Enjoyed pvping with all these toons in the past. Scoundrel felt a little op back then and I personally liked the challenged of the Commando as a bit of a underdog. Figured it would be helpful to get a feel for things before I invest too much time in a week/boring character.

My 3 mains are a Shadow, Scoundrel and Commando. I really enjoy all 3 classes equally and have no issue on my Commando in a 1v1 against any other class (of equal skill) besides Guardian/Juggernaut. Do you spec into Decoy? A well timed Diversion (Force Breach/Project or Back Blast/Sucker Punch) along with all your many, many utilities will go a long way to winning fights against any class.

Only tried this one so far: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#601MIroddddZfrMRzG0o.3

You've missed a fair bit but it won't take long to get back into it. As far as your questions go I'll do my best, based on my personal opinion: Server: Harbinger (especially good for Pub side PvP) Class balance: Of the ones you have you can't go wrong with Shadow or Vanguard at the moment. Ranked: Can't give much info here... I enjoy team ranked, and occasionally solo just for a laugh. Depends on who else is queuing at the time. Regular WZ's Queues: On Harbinger it's really good. Don't think I've ever had to wait more then 10 minutes, most pops are under a minute or 2. As far as class balance goes; that's a bit of a long debate really. You already have some of the slightly stronger classes so it will come down to your play style and personal preference. I really like my Shadow, Scoundrel and Commando at the moment. Vanguard has some ridiculous burst, Sentinel is still great in a group. I think Gunslinger has been a little neglected lately... Couldn't really tell you since I don't have one. Guardians and Sages (balance spec) are probably the fotm right now and a bit too easy mode. I have a Sorc and don't bother playing it atm since it feels a little too strong in PvP. Without the challenge it gets boring quickly. Personally I'd lean toward the Vanguard since they're just so much fun and there's a shortage on Harby. Anyway I'm sure others will have something to add... Welcome back!

If you can't 4v1 you need to pick up your game

Absorb But then again I'm all for the mitigation build...

Sorry, to be more specific; I only want to move one character over to start with. Also I only like to pvp and prefer to stick to characters that are more challenging to play (like my commando), unless this server is inundated with mandos... Anyway, I'm leaning toward moving the mando first. Don't go easy on me

So, pub side is dead on my server at the times I play (in Australia). Was thinking of moving one of my mains over but was wondering which class there is a shortage of, of the below: Shadow Scoundrel Commando

Is this another moophy hate thread? 10/10 If BW wants to fix arenas, for the bastion at least, they just need to ban moophy. Solo rating seems fairly meaningless since either you go against 3 PT's and a mara or you have 2 healers and moophy... Or just role a PT on bastion and join the win train (gear optional)
