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

Why put PVP Tank gear in if DPS gear is better for tanks in PVP?

Taunts do provide "protection points". Lol. This thread is becoming more of a joke every day.

The silence by the dev team on this issue is disheartening.

^^ This. There is so much bickering and theory crafting in this thread it is unreal. When all it actually needs is a dev to say:

A) it is WAI so live with it
or
B) it is not WAI we will look at fixing it

^This

i just need to know if my gear gets fixed or if i need to replace it

Taunts do provide protection points.

A lot of people need to know. Is this working as intended or is something fubar here? I don't think it is too much to ask for a dev response on this. How many pages do we need to get to before someone pokes their head in and gives us an answer one way or another?

Perhaps they're still combing through data. Maybe. Whatever the case, we can promote more awareness by letting friends and guildmates know about the situation so they can make better informed choices in PVP.

a huge part of why this problem made it this far into the game was a lack of a combat log, and the ability of players to parse data themselves. instead of having to take the developers word for things. this problem could have been solved during beta...you know when the game was still in development...instead of after launch.


in before "QQ damage meters" argument. i could care less about a damage meter...but id like to know whats hitting me for 5k+ and how i can prevent it. or if its even preventable.


i think bioware took a few lessons from mythic when they excluded a combat log...similar to how mythic discontinued the realm war page so players couldnt use the data from it to show how terrible the populations were on all the servers that eventually closed anyway.

at this point i think that the only yellow response we will get its the one that comes from the forum mods when the close a thread that reaches the 100 pages =p
