  1. PVP wise, ya gotta be smart... positioning.. knwoing when to run... going unnoticed as long as possible,,, today alone had a 800k dmg/ 200k healing game as madness, pugged, won the warzone and a 600kdmg/350k healing game as lightning, pugged, and won the warzone but also ina game i stupidly chased a sniper and got stuck out in the open with no LOS, no force barrier and got absolutely lit up and was embaressed.... this class can throw alot of dmg out and support (bubbles, extrication) ... but you cant charge head strong into the fray... SO moral of the story... you can easily lead your team in dmg and healing done and be a fking hero.. but just as easily get trained/focused/blown up.. we take more damage than anyone.. ive eaten 11k and 12k heatseekers, routinely executed for 9k, sniped for 9k etc... play smart.... AS for organized pvp.. sorcs a liability lol...
  2. how do you figure? if im correct .. 15:42:07.220 Lady'frankie hits you with Blade Storm for 3,982* kinetic damage happens before he becomes aggressive again
  3. yea... i can see how tossing out 12k heatseekers can get old
  4. now i just pvp but would shock not be in the rotation unless moving>? i feel force lightning will outperform.... especially with recent changes i generally dont even use my wrath lightning strike unless im running its dmg is pitiful
  5. saying lighting sorcs > arsenal mercs pretty much solidifies you have no clue thanks
  6. ive been leveling an arsenal merc, whom is 51 atm.. and i KNOW pre 55 pvp is not the same but idk.. Arsenal hits harder, feels way more mobile, has better utility... the two instant casts (spec'd) is amazing dmg, dmg heal, heal cc, heal .. **** this class could LITERALLY heal to full with 3 gcds if they all crit..... 5 stack of tracer lock insta heal and 2x instant big heals with power surge arsenals knockback is 360 degrees, stronger and adds a slow affect which with the distance keeps enemies off you longer than a short root affect from sorcs cone knockback tracer hits harder than lightning strike, heatseeker can almost DOUBLE thunder blasts dmg.. and rail shot out performs thunder blast too... rail shot and heatseeker are both instant and unload is a priority interrupt over tracer missile arsenal has oodles of armor pen which leads to much better damage than sorc's so called "internal dmg" spells electro net is hands down the best pvp tool (preventing escapes/immunities) their overall survivability is double that of a sorcs idk.. im done ranting.. as a sorc i love playing full lightning.. but madness is so stupid easy and powerful lightning either needs shock factor dmg to compensate for its immobility and squishyness or increased defense, and mobility while causing dmg... there is VERY little downtime for melee now in this game one suggestion i feel is imperative to be implemented is thundering blast should be absolute damage, that means NO immunity, no resist, no absorption, no reflection etc... this will bring a uniqueness/usefulness to this tree which can make it an option again in organized pvp... (damaging a tank, damage to immune healers or other sorcs etc)
  7. shock could be turned into this classes execute, perhaps doing 75% more dmg to targets under 20% i still feel like this class isnt putting out a RATIONAL amount of dmg in RELATION to its LACK of mobility and squishyness
  8. Full lightning could use: -an execute -A teleport -A disarm -lightning strike improvements: debuffs target with "singed" increasing the damage of lightning strike and TB 5% stacks 3 times. Lightning strike could be spec'd to be activated while on the run. or casting lightning strike or TB grants you "buzzed" which reduces the activation time of lightning strike and TB by .25s stacks 3 times or just flat increase lightning strikes base damage.. -thundering blast, remove autocrit and forked darkness and just substantially increase base damage.. this ability should be critting as hard as arsenal mercs heatseeker (ive been crit for 12k). activation time of 2s is absolutely ridiculous and an obvious disconnect on the dev's part from swtor PVP. TB should go through ALL immunity and resistance abilities including force barrier... (for anyone who played wow, think of the initial version of warlock chaos bolt) -something specific to lighting shield offensively, striking the sorc with lightning shield active reflects 33% dmg back to the attacker, or a flat dmg like 2k.... -one or two lightning specific defensive cooldowns: examples: ability which when activated.. for 6 seconds any melee attacks will knock the attacker back 6 meters or an ability which the sorc could place a electric field in an 15m diameter area which could slow enemies/reduce their damage, and make enemies in this field take 20% more dmg from YOUR lightning attacks (shock, FL, strike.. not TB and crushing dark) - a strong heal debuff, or ability which negates guard for a short time idk, i just came up with these in 5 minutes.. and they are reasonable, fun and would help this build
  9. charge...ravage... spamm enraged defense when getting schooled thats all i see juggs do now
  10. lightning would be the PERFECT tree to introduce a teleport, and disarm affect.. a stationary and floppy lightning sorcs biggest issue is getting time to cast.... especially with so much UP time from current melee classes teleport and a disarm would be large steps from a utility direction maybe crushing darkness in the lightning treee can be spec'd to disarm.. who knows
  11. i agree i go back and forth when i casually pvp between light and madness madness is sooooo easy to top dmg done and 1v1 kids... but lightning is by far the fun build...however lightning, which has mediocre burst/wow factor hits very limp on heavier armored/damaged reduced targets..... the closest comparative build is arsenal mercs, whom have greater mobility, greater dmg reduction, and what i feel is the best burst in the game with heatseeker critting over 10k. Arsenal has a better flow to it and the better dmg output is related to the armor penetration this build gets and specs too tbh take crushing darkness and affliction OUT of the lightning pvp rotation... like mercs... let lightning strike add the auto crit OR +damage % debuff to our targets. TAKE forked lightning out and add straight bonus dmg to these spells make lightning strike build/stack on our targets so each does more damage than the last.. spammng 2k lightning strikes while TB is on cooldown is sad face
  12. thought i was going to see a video of gratuitous force lightning spam.. but it was fun.. honestly there arent many pro tips available for this build... its powerful and relatively simple... some small things can set you apart from the rest though while we're on topic let me add i feel madness is right where it needs to be aside from force management...and possibly an execute type ability (like shadowburn from WoW) however lightning needs all the focus at the moment in terms of pvp dps
  13. youre also failing to recognize another huge difference TWO SECOND ACTIVATION.... which in PVP... for the SQUISHIEST CLASS, is eternity... i respect your argument but your flat wrong.... arsenal mercs are in a much better place than lightning sorcs.. however making TB instant i dont feel is the answer for Lightning
  14. ummm i think fadeout should be making us immune to grapples/pulls.... dont YOU!?
  15. youre out of your mind ill take potential 12k crits and instant cast over 6k auto crits and a 2s activation theres simply no comparison between arsenal and lightning... arsenal mercs have considerably more burst ..but hey 99 out of every 100 sorcs are rolling madness in pvp right now because full lightning is so powerful.. owait i mean holy god i was rocket punched today for 5900..... i have like one goddamn ability that i need to spec 36 pts and cast for 2 seconds to hit that hard.... this class needs help, the build at least..... sorcs also take far more dmg than any other class by far.. ill give that worthless barrier back for a real defensive cooldown i can use every other fight
