We would be extremely overpowered with your suggested changes. EXTREMELY. Quick escalation would be a full heal etc etc on that 11s cd leeching strike. Assasinate would hit like a total monster in a dot spec. Not to mention we have big heals but less dmg reduction in hatred, if we also got the damage reduction would be so nasty. And then you also wanna get easier energy management just so easier to play. We would be so broken.

I love quick escalation, its the main reason ive just rolled back to my old assassin. Damn i love that leech mode. The parses you link are 1m health dummy with like 19 leeching strike hits, it's all about getting the first hit to crit then you are almost guaranteed rest crits until cooldown occurs or duration falls off. So, those parses are just good rng ones. You get like 75% for leeching base crit giving you 3/4 chance the first is a crit with 3 more following after. So given 1 might be guaranteed from recklessness, its almost more likely for a 1m parse to have full crits than one of them failing. Almost. Actually i don't think they should be able to use it for every filler spot, because as far as it seems to work for me it won't take more than 4 uses before going on cooldown. Even if i let the debuff fall off it still goes on cooldown after i believe 4 uses. Lets imagine they somehow line things up perfectly maybe that gives you these cooldowns to use: 2xeradicate(from procs), 2xassassinate(from procs), discharge, creeping terror, death field. Maybe another assasinate from phantom stride. Maybe even a third eradicate could be possible with perfectly aligned procs. This could give enough cooldowns to fill the leeching strike cooldown. Whether it's possible and practical, i dunno, but might be done.

So i have a couple of suggestions regarding some things that have annoyed me recently. First is about clickthrough chat. This is something i absolutely need to play else i am forced to be unable to click combat and aoe fields at many times. I would like there to be an option that eiher you can interact with chat while your are typing, or when pressing a hotkey. The second is about logging out. I play with background sound on so i can hear GF pops if im tapped out. Well tonight i got annoyed a lot. I queue for MM for 30min and when we get inside some undergeared tank fails and a dps leave, then tank leave, and then healer dont wanna wait for another tank so he leave leaving me to go back in queue. Well after a time i get bored as helll and go to forums reading stuff. About 40min into queue, well guess what, it stealth logs me out and im just so pissed i spendt nearly 2h because of this crap to find a group when i finally get one. Please give a sound warning about logout that is clear to hear so i can react. Goddammit. Thanks for listening.

I just came to make a little update, i'm the OP. I made this after coming back to the game and wanting to fight things and everyone wanna skip. But now, i don't really mind anymore. I think i would still prefer instances designed not to be just skipped, but when everything is all about pushing that gear/exp per hour then i can shaft the quality of the experience in favor of that i guess.

You guys are on a crusade that won't see you satisfied until we have so much power we can just roflstomp whatever with great ease because we would be so overtuned. Assassin strong, just needs some other classes turned down not turned assassin into monster overkiller. Operative(tools, little damage), Powertech(burst), Juggernaut(damage) needs take nerfs.

Honestly, shadows/assassins are very lucky because they don't have ability creep. Most of the classes are so overloaded with abilities that the rotations are very annoying and there simply aren't enough top tier hotkeys for your fingers. Most other classes they don't get spells replaced and its so annoying getting 2 abilties doing about same into rotation to uptimize dps. The new cooldown isn't so bad, it makes sense tho lacking duration on the slow, and it isn't forced into single target rotation. Be careful what you wish for, more =/= better when it comes to class design.

Always pathetic to hear clearly broken OP classes crying tears about how they are ooohhhh sooo targeted. Get real, you deserve much more severe nerfs than this one and should expect more to come. PT's and Snipers should also get nerfed in some aspects, weaker classes should be brough a bit up.

I loathe Hutball, please do not force me to play that sh¨t.

Damn menz, i look on this topic every day and my wildest wet dreams are there people start talking about it, talking about which ones they prefer which ones they find best etc.

I Hate Premades. Well, i hate when you can face premades when just qeuering random anyway - it really sucks and makes no sense to join a default to lose game where the premade just roflstomps random. I didn't queue to face premades. I Hate Premades

Doing it in story won't change anything. As i said, i love to play with random groups and do flashpoints - but it isn't funny to play with max rushers who dont take time for fun. Guilds aren't a solution either, it's a completely different thing to doing random groups with random people and the ones who like one are not neccessarily the ones who like the other as well - just as in my case. The ones who prefer to rush mega, are getting annoyed with those who want to take their time anyway - and would be much better served with only playing with other likeminded. I dont mind i fi have a 5min wait(probablt would be way less) to get a group that isn't alll about rushing. Another thing is it is super annoying queueing for all instances and because people who queue only a few appear to be put in same queue with everyone that wants to run random - most of the time is the same damn ones that pop. Please give me a select all fp's random with a bonus reward for it and make each new instance be random so it's unaffected by spam by people who dont wanna run more than the few most efficient one. Let me say it again. Those who want to rush, would prefer not to play with those who don't want to rush, and those who want to take their time would prefer not to play with those who wanna rush. Is this not true? WIth a tickbox for "rush group" or someting similar those who wanna take their time can use that if they don't mind waiting a bit for a good group and everyone will be more happy - if they dont wanna wait they can go right ahead and queue with rushers.

I love doing random dungeons in mmo's, flashpoints here. I just started swtor again - and what do i find? WHen i queue nearly all the time i get into groups with people who rush ruuush ruuuuuuuush, skipping nearly everything, pushing everything off edges, rushing past to reset agro areas etc. Some fp's there are hardly any trash fights when full skip tactics are engaged. I load slow on this computer and before i'm even loaded people are already zooming screens ahead and i take minutes to catch up to them. Everything is quantity over quality play. I just don't have any fun and it made me log right out totally demotivated after a few days of trying this. Please, please give a simple "rush" tickbox for rushers to find each other so that i don't ever have to play with these people who seem to have overtaken random fp's and completely ruined my experience which is one of the best things i know in MMO's. I just wanna queue with people who wanna clear normally and take their time and have fun, not being all about rushing max ratio of rewards. Making good social experiences is all about bringing people together who want to play in the same way, throwing us into the same pool just makes it much worse for both parties.

Most of you should just leave and find another game until you can appreciate SWTOR again. You are so full of negativity because you have been stuck here too long. I just came back and i appreciate how the game looks now. I play the best mmo's and arpg's and that way i can enjoy them when i want to, but i don't get stuck and negative for playing the same game too long while expecting the game to fullfill me every desire. Try it, coz you all can't see anything good right now. There is no way around it anyway, the negative you feel now will only keep growing until you leave. Better not let it burn you up, find something else to try there are many great out there like swtor.

Yes i cannot wait i want to remind you: You guys have too much stuff like way more than others and it's quite frankly unfair. You can go on you and just whail away use good rotation, use your defensive cd's well and still if you use yours even half decent you will barely be taking damage for long enough to make others have to flee because they run out of cooldowns to deal with you and all the while you are just doing massive damage yourself. I'll give an example of how you just have more than others. Assassin for example got their utility changed that, i think before it gave assassins 30% damage reduction when stunned, and they took the 30% aoe damage reduction from one specc and merged the two into one utility that now if you are tank specc reduces 30% damage when stunned or dps specc 30% aoe reduction. Meanwhile you have a talent that gives both 30% aoe and 30% while stunned reduction. And they didn't even have to nerf a specc to give you this more powerful version. This is an example of how lame overpowered your utilities are, the 70% heal one its max retarded too. Take a look at your utility lists and it's many there with too big advantages that have been nerfed for other classes when they had so much power. You are having way too much overpowered **** compared to others, best tanking for ranged burst class etc things don't add up. And I for one cannot wait till you get butchered. "Butchered", pff, it will just be made to be as powerful as others and not get too many unfair advantages. Oh yes it will be good.

That's what i mean it is very competitive, it requires a whole other level of awareness and teamplay and so is something quite different from the other simpler warzones. Just my 2c.
