No, You May Not Roll on Items for Another Class and Strip Out the Mods

And in some locations there are no rules stating I'm not allowed to murder you. Does that make it right?

You're the kind of person I love to win rolls againts for my companion

Yes there are.

Sith Warriors.

They gain nothing from Cunning, like the person you quoted said. The OP's problem was a Warrior needing on Cunning gear that the OP, as an Imperial Agent who uses Cunning, needed.

Yeah, tell that to SnoggyMack, Ninja Looter Extraordinaire (and proud of it!)


Cake is a lie; there is only pie.

I get that. But this general topic has come up in the past. And in those discussions, I've tried to make the point that there will be situations where one class is rolling need for an item and another class is rolling need for a mod. And the example I tend to use is +Crit. Because there are benefits to +Crit for both healers and DPS.

And so there will be a situation where two classes NEED the item for an upgrade. One might wear the item. One might mod strip it. But the need is genuine.

And people still flip out and get huffy about it.

Which means, to me, this type of discussion isn't about being fair. It's about loot drama. You typical loot drama that crops in these games alllllllllllll the time.

You are going to meet a healer one day who finally realizes that an upgrade to crit is going to help them heal better. And that might be the day that some DPS class totally wigs out on the healer because ... duh ... they're DPS and crit is their big thing.

And now you're stuck in a loot drama situation where a healer has to try to explain why they want to need on an item?

It's just silly.

These items are all rolled on. There's equal chance to win. But it's always going to be a situation where someone lost and is upset about losing.

/sigh

Damn proud of being a NINJA LOOTER OF LIGHTSABERS WITH THE AIM STAT ON IT!

Can you figure out why though Face? I mean have you even considered why?

If you are able to pick up a gun and shoot someone in the head, then you must be allowed to do it, right?

Sure, you are "allowed" to do it... the universe will not reach out and stop you. But it's not any less morally reprehensible.

Once you've hit puberty and figured out that you are responsible for the fallout of your actions, and that just because an action is possible does not make it right, give us a ring...

EDIT: Just to clarify, you are trying to make an argument that because you CAN do something, it must therefore be acceptable to do that thing. There ARE potentially valid reasons for claiming it's fine to need roll in this scenario, but the "because I can" argument is not one of them...

True story.

Although, tbh, it's a safe bet that anyone whom this para would offend is probably incapable of understanding it.

hahaha, your total disregard for your HUMAN companion who just carried your talentless arse through that FP is SO funny!

Don't worry, you can find other ninja looters / douches to group with. There are some out there.

Yes, you are allowed to be a jerk.
