they should give healing reduction talent instead. In pvp a full geared healer is like a god. Really really really hard to kill and need alot of peopel focusing him. This is unbalanced

I didnt have a great idea for the title but it is true, i only have 28 days left on SwToR and i dont think ill take them all. First thing first , im legacy 25 near 26, i rerolled quite alot. I wont got on QQ but more observation and no you cant have my loot , ill give it to my guildies. My favorite class is the Scoundrel, that is why i post here and i believe by really unsubing, i would show Bioware that im not just faking, im really tired. I love the shotgun, the attitude, our companions etc. The first ick with it is the look of the class in term of clothing selection. I found out while leveling from 1 to 50 i had to use my Esseles Jacket so often because what i had was horrible and i never showed my helm. I thought i would look more like a outlaw. You know , bandanas , leather jacket , dusters and all that cool stuff. Then came 1.2 with the PVE and PVP armor set and the legacy armor set. I could say that i am not thrilled about it. PVE set is really blend and the helm looks bad with the leather strap around head. The color choices are horrible PVP set is even stupided looking. I feel like a teletubies. Seriously? a set based on the Rakata was the worst idea ever. The color are horrible too. Legacy armor set are simply set you had while leveling and get to use them AGAIN. Current PVP PVE set : what make me the more sad about it, is the fact that we have a single set while other classes have 2 different set. It is just a recolor. I can live with the cape but damn the leather strap around the head make me look like a r-tard. I loved the frantic action, knowing your priorities etc , was really fun. I did good in pvp and had fun. Now where my fun was cut short.. I DONT WANT TO BE OP , I WANT EVERYONE TO BE ON THE SAME LEVEL. PVP IS ABOUT SKILL - Class balance : First the class balance. Not about being weak or strong but about the diversity of skills/talent too. People said to me "dont look ever the fence, the grass always look greener". In that case i did look and yes it look greener. I wasnt really disturbed at first but after doing ALOT of pvp (being 49 99.999% valor before the patch) i felt like some classes had way too much good stuff going on for them in term of utilities. Exemple , the shadow tank. Got around the same burst as me, can force speed , can force pull , can guard, taunt , push and got good defensive cooldown Exemple , the guardian. Can leap to enemy , friend , push , good defensive cooldown. DPS slighty lower ... or higher burst depending on the spec I could go on on other classes like commando , vanguard etc. but well stop there. I dont mind that they got all that but i felt like im missing some pieces of the loot on that. I got no movement skills , push pull or speed. My defensive cooldown are quite bad at 50 and my sustain is horrible. I just felt like i was a weaker assassin. - PVE : was were i was the most displeased. Perhaps by not playing other classes i wouldnt have felt that way but ... I felt like my sustained damage is totally worthless. Im on a low pop server (was med when i chose it) and since there is no transfer, im stuck there. Most of the guilds already got their core group. Even if they know im a good player (since i pvp with most of them) they dont want to have a scoundrel in their team. Like they "just reroll gunslinger and well be all over you". I dont bring nothing to the team via buff/talent/skills and im far from being able to do the same a sentinel or sniper do. At first i was a PVE player but now im stuck to do pvp all night. Some guilds use Scoundrel i know but im sure if they could replace them, they would. - 1.2 : i was actually waiting for it in a hope for a change. Yesterday a friend of mine talked to me about the PTR and how it was for his Ops. He was kinda neutral on the change down to a disapointed of them. He said like we do around the same but it was hard to judge atm. So i feel like nothing got corrected. Perhaps i judge too hard but tonight i played Bastion, a small game and had terrible fun... which i dont anymore on Starwars Online. I had no frustration , was fun , had some laugh etc. I was like , why do i put more time theorycrafting and nerd raging on game then actually playing it. I did many years of mmo (15 yrs). Ive did most of the end content of games like Warhammer , WoW , Aion , EQ2 etc. was raid leader , guild leader , did hard mode , got server first on Rift etc. Perhaps im getting older and i dont want to strive as hard as i did back when WoW got out. I just feel tired of fighting the mechanics that constantly change and usually not in my favor (hehe). I dont ask to be OP but i do ask to be brought on par with other classes. So give me your thoughts on the scoundrel and how you liking it end game for PVE and PVP. Dont give me a Scoundrel is fine kthnxbye. Explain why do you think it is fine or Why do you think it is wrong. Im sure some of you think it is fine. Share a bit of experience.

haha yeah i feel it is actually like that

Look, i dont know if you play a 50 smuggler but i do. Im in full BM gear now and i dont get around 3 shotting a 50 that is for sure, even newer 50. All the scrapper ive seen in pvp are always 31 point to get flechette round or you lose a ton o dps so there was not a ton of hybrid in the smuggler after 40. For the raiding, i still suspect it to be a problem. 1- Bosses are still not melee friendly. Smuggler Defensive cooldown suck and we have no movement skill 2- One of the stappler of the rotation , backblast just took a 3sec cooldown more with a small increase in dps. So even if we produce more energy, we use it a more on skills that didnt require some at first and we see alot of things before making a clear statement. Even with more energy, what will i fit in? I already sucker punch on upper hand (or refresh pugnacity). With more energy what will i do? Quick shot? grenade? Those arent that massive to bring us closer to marauder, sniper dps. 3- Skill like shoot first cannot really be used in raid So like i said in 2. In raid , my energy was not the main issue for me (i could use more but i was still doing OK. Its the overall damage of my abilities that sucked. I seriously doubt that this patch will fix us for PVE.

vette is sooo funny , love her and married her

why the hell green and blue? where is the red?

http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#101cMhZhGr0rhdz.1 my build at 40, tank stance with shield at 50 http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#101cMG0uZhGr0rhdzMM.1

i want the cross server. The server i chose at first was high and now it is low and hard as hell to get a group together. Dont think of only yourself, i need that tool

You know, it is natural to feel bitter when someone took the time to take a class from 1 to 50, put time an effort on it and being rewarded with a nerf when the class was already lacking compared to others a.k.a smugglers scoundrel Yes good opening burst... what is left after that burst? nothing Now with 1.2 the burst is changed to be less of a burst...

i heard vengeance is not really good at 50 pvp. I am immortal so i would be intrigued to see if its true becuase i would go back to is it still viable? http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#101cMG0uZhGr0rhdzMM.1

i dont see why because my class got a tanking tree that i am branded as a tank. Mercenary get a healing tree, are they healers? should their damage be subpar? Paladin in wow got a tanking and healing tree, their damage should be subpar too (it was mouhaha) Death knight got a tanking tree, their damage need to be subpar. Wait! there's more! Operative got a healing tree, must be why they are getting screwed in the next patch Wait! Sorcerer can heal , they need to lower the dps too.

sorc because you can respec and dps if you want to, get force speed, can pull people etc. with the ops you can only spec healing, other spec with 1.2 are utterly broken and not enjoyable so being able to use 3 spec vs 1 having a gap closer vs none having an OP shield and being able to survive vs going back to stealth, if you got a dot you pop back up pulling people vs nothing Awesome aoe heal vs ok heal (1.2) or bad heal right now Single application of HoT vs having to stack it twice for the same effect Cool ressource system vs bad resource system Keep healing under pressure vs having to manage upper hands ------------------------------ there is no reason in the world to not make a sorc healer vs an ops

Thats actually why we voice our concern. People dont bring smuggler scoundrel or Ops in their Operations because we do lower damage, cannot avoid the melee unfriendly aoe and come back in time to dps and we bring 0 utility to the raid. As far pvp goes. We were doing not bad on the opening but if the fight drags we need to run. For me it was ok until i roll an assassin and had the same opening burst but was in tank stance instead and was able to defend objectives , run the balls , had a gap closer etc. So yeah, its not really fine you know

yup. I was playing something else while waiting for 1.2 notes. Made myself a coffee and read it... then i went into the basement, took some nails and finish nailing the coffin of my smuggler. R.I.P. shotgun wielding ******.. The good thing is , i wont look like a teletubies in my orange skinny suit with beer can hat

personaly ive tried that a bit and it was terrible. I know you wanna be concept and stuff but they didnt make a good job out of it. Being an evil sith warrior is worth everything. Epic cutscene where you open hutts and stuff. When you go light side, you just sign paper, get spit in the face etc. I really really didnt like that. Even for my jedi making dark choice, they werent really entertaining and it really doesnt affect that much the story at all. If you only want the Dark V look , pick up diplomacy, that help.
