Mitigation, the REAL problem. Also, operatives need a 2x dmg multiplier.

Well with the effects into the other areas of the game cannot work.

Also the Nerf would have to effect all classes, otherwise our armor mitigation would be to close in relation to non tank classes. We would be purely shield generators with no armor bonus. Also still have a healthy amount of skills bypassing shields unless they were allow to block all types of damage, then it would be very random spikes of damage given the percentage. Spikey damage would create more cases of omg 6k hits your dead sprees.

As for miss interpreting that is how it reads hence why why I asked for a repost instead of labeling you as just a troll. As it reads it is redundant without more information, its lacking key pieces that do not exist or mention to be added

It was a Underpants Gnome post.....Step 1 Collect Underpants Step 2 ?????? Step 3 Profit

Special attacks are a much much higher base rate to hit. Between all my toons I have little and most no +Accuracy and all are 97%-110% hit rates. Will take a look tonight.

Because when a good pvp player sees a fully tank geared/specced played and a healer standing together, they will pop their cd's and focus the tank like no tomorrow, instead of 3-4 shotting/interupting/stunning the healer, right?

Your whole post is invalid because either you are too stupid to realise this, or the people you were playing against where a bunch of people that don't get how pvp works AT ALL.

^ or both.

No, sir, it does not affect PVE, Bioware has the ability to balance them separately. And yes, same mitigation against marauders and operatives and the whole mess of classes if possible. The only thing you're gaining out of it is that your shield stats are no longer pointless to have.

If you demand any more than this, then what you're asking for is a poorly disguised damage reduction buff to tanks. Which would be quite unacceptable in this environment.

Well, lets count…classes that rely heavily on weapon damage:

Shadow/Assassin
Gunslinger/Sniper
Sentinel/Marauder
Guardian/Juggernaut

That's 4/8. Seriously, take all the weapon damage abilities off the bars of any of these classes and see how horribly gimped their damage is.

Of the remaining, Sage/Sorc tends to do a very normalized sort of damage that's easily disrupted. Probably, if Scoundrel/Operative and Commando/Mercenary just get their damage types tweaked a bit on a couple well targeted abilities, then things would probably be in a really good place and there would be no need to tweak tank mechanics themselves in PvP.

BioWare would make my tanky a lot happier if they made Shields and Armor matter anything against other classes.

It would make a match against Operatives and it would make most... No, some people stop complaining about them.

And I'd be able to get the tank gear of course.

If this is not fixed and Dual Specs comes out I'll have only 2 specs. PvE tank and PvP DPS.

"Special" is currently a very confusing and deceptive term in this game... People think if it's a button, it's a special. For about half the classes in this game, most of their main buttons actually do white damage instead of yellow.

All these weapon damage attacks do white damage and have the lower base hit chance.

I stopped reading after you thought Scoundrels/Ops get an 8s stun.

-3s Knockdown (stun) from stealth; grants full resolve
-4s stun on 60s RUT (45s talented)
-8s Mez (breaks on damage); Scoundrel 90s / Operative 60s RUT

If this is true, it HAS TO BE fixed. No wonder I feel so squishy when cds are not up

Don't know what game you're playing mate. But pvp tank gear has less endurance then pve tank gear (iirc) asides from that, he's saying tank stats don't work against the vast majority of abilities in this game which means that he's just another dps with more health.

Most classes have abilities that dont get mitigated by anything that crit for 3-4k, and in a 4 second stun one could easily land 2-3 abilities hitting for that amount which means 9-12k dmg.

Maybe you should read better before posting junk like this.
