  1. I always thought that as long as I didn't have any expertise items in my gear, I would get full bolster to 2018 expertise in lowby warzones. But I found that I was wrong today. How do I get full expertise in 30-59 bracket WZs?
  2. Complaints about PvP are for ranked arenas. I agree that if arenas are removed, the game would be much better balanced in warzones.
  3. Wait until you get to 60 and play against top players. The best players of other classes can take out a Marauder without losing more than 25% of their health.
  4. Snipers rely on CC and snare/roots as their defense. With BW handing out CC immunities and snare/root immunities out to every DPS spec. Snipers stand no chance in arenas.
  5. I have not written any troll QQ threads about tanks and healers. I don't know what you are talking about. Now you are trying to slander me with lies, instead of debating my points. That is just low. You can't deny that SC adds more than double the DPS of other offensive cooldowns in the game, with or without the 1s internal cooldown. In combination of VG/PT's strong burst, the burst damage they do now is game breaking. It can be acceptable if SC's internal CD and damage per missile is adjusted to a DPS increase that is similar to other offensive cooldowns in game. You can accuse me of trolling all you want. But I am not, and I bring with me strong points backed up by proof and logic. If I was judged to be trolling, this thread would have been locked or deleted, and I would have gotten infraction points already. BW does read these forums.
  6. "this will not happen for weird abilities like Shoulder cannon" Ha, nice try in manipulating the words of BW and taking it out of context. But that is not what was said. This is what was said: "We actually want to get away from dealing damage off the GCD. That is probably not going to happen to weird stuff like Shoulder Cannon which is attached to your shoulder." "Probably" does not not equal to "will not". I understand BW's hesitation of removing Shoulder Cannon from off-GCD at the time, because it was not proven overpowered in PvP yet. In lore, Shoulder Cannon shoots off the shoulder and not by the action of the character, so keeping it off-GCD at the time in beta makes sense. However, now that there is video proof of Shoulder Cannon bringing game breaking balance in PvP. I am presenting my case and point to BW to remove any previous doubt and hesitation they have about removing SC from off-GCD and put it on GCD. The videos that showed people global-ing opponents with SC and on-GCD attacks are substantial proof that SC needs to be changed. Also as an additional point, even putting a 1s internal cooldown in SC will not move it out of the OP level. Even with a 1s ICD, SC is an offensive cooldown that can add 2.5-3k DPS for 7s. Currently, there is no other offensive cooldown in game that adds that much DPS. The offensive CD with the second most DPS addition is Mental Alacrity, which adds about 1k DPS at best. Shoulder Cannon adds more than double what Mental Alacrity or other offensive cooldowns can add. And this is game breaking for PvP. It is funny how some people here want to protect their favorite OP VG/PT and admit that they are too lazy to provide proof for argument points and don't bother to verify the points other people present. At least, Zoom put in the effort for the debate. I respect that.
  7. No, you didn't. Watch the SWTOR twitch stream on Guardians/Juggernaut from November, you will hear BW stated that the design concept for 3.0 is to remove all damage dealing off-GCD attack to control and balance DPS. Mental Alacrity, Recklessness, Sniper Volley are offensive CD off GCD, but they do not do damage by themselves. Shoulder Cannon does damage off GCD, which is against the design concept stated by BW for 3.0. And adding 2.5k-3k DPS for 7s, even with the Internal CD, is not OP? Really? Which other offensive cooldown add that much DPS? Not Mental Alacrity, not Recklessness, and not Sniper Volley. No other offensive cooldown adds even half as much DPS as Shoulder Cannon does. The only way to lower the DPS addition of SC to other offensive cooldown's level is by giving it a 3s internal cooldown. Hey, this is actually another good point to change SC, by comparing its DPS addition to other offensive cooldown with similar CD length. Thanks for helping me think of this.
  8. Yes, I started this thread to present my case and point base on "against the design concept" to BW, of course I am going to repeat it. Other posters provided videos proofs later, which I am thankful for. If you want, you can start your own thread and suggest how to change SC without it being OP while still keeping the off-GCD.
  9. Nope. Check with the SWTOR twitch stream again. BW stated they are removing off-GCD damage abilities, not off-GCD offensive CDs. I guess you didn't start from the beginning of this thread.
  10. And SC's off-GCD damage purpose is against the no off-GCD damage abilities design right now, therefore it needs to be changed. We already agreed to disagree, I don't know why you keep coming back to make the same points over and over. Points from both sides are already presented in this thread. Only BW can clarify what their design attentions are.
  11. You can try to redirect your offense on me instead of on the point as much as you want. But I can tell for sure that I will not stop until Bioware: - Makes changes, which will show their true design intentions. - Make a comment, which will also show their true design intentions. - Delete or lock this thread, which will show that they know about the issue and does not want to deal with it. So it is not about me. It is about what BW wants for their design.
  12. So were Gore/PS and Riposte/Retaliate designed to be off-GCD pre 3.0. Then the design concept changed and they were put on GCD. Just as other damage abilities that were off GCD changed with 3.0 design concept, SC must be changed in the same manner as well to maintain balance.
  13. There are videos proofs, player testimonies, and logic to back up my point. I can easily accuse you of trying to protect your favorite OP class by accusing me of trolling and redirect the attack on me instead of on the point. And anyone with a brain can see that SC damage in combination with GCD attacks gives overpowering burst damage that unbalance PvP.
  14. She was never portrayed as a silent killer. What are you talking about? All we seen was her infiltrating and fighting. Would anyone be talking at all when fighting and infiltrating? No.
  15. Did you test Charged Burst in Sharpshooter spec? Charged Burst gets a lot of upgrades in Sharpshooter. Charged Burst in Sharpshooter and Dirty Blast should come out to be around the same.
