Bioware caved in to the forum whines, prepare for the start of a doomed pvp game.

Jedi Shadows / assassins is the most balanced class in the game atm imo, its right there in the middle so what are you on about?

How do you know they didn't test it themselves? How can you think 7-8k crits is fair against most classes 3-4k crits max. Please behave and have evidence of everything you say. They've so far listened to noone suggestions about illum, world pvp, champ bags etc etc and just because they make one class balanced you start crying on here.

Dear Bads,

Even after this over-nerfing is past, I will still curbstomp your sorry asses, and you will still cry.

Dear Goods,

You win, I guess.

Love,

"Overpowered"

The title says it all, Bioware like every other developer caved in to the very vocal forum minority which also usually tends to be some of the very worse MMO players in MMOs. This is the beginning of the end. Scoundrels/Operatives did not need a nerf Bioware, as a healer I say this. You need to test your game and use your own metrics before implementing any class changes in game. Do not go by made up scenarios and imaginary numbers that forum posters use to try to make a point. That's the mistake of past mmo devs that has caused their subscriptions to dwindle in the past and I say that as an MMO veteran since 1997 UO, that has played nearly every MMO since then. You should, if possible release surveys in game to also see how players feel about x and x changes before implementing them. You can also use surveys to see if players think some classes are over the top, currently. You will see that the majority of people that actually play the game at 50, don't feel like the random forum whiners/posers that aren't even 50 yet.

Who are you, MMO Nostradamus? This is nothing but a whining, "the sky is falling and we're all doomed" post.

You're the only one here making up scenarios, i.e. saying Bioware doesn't test their own game before making a change. They have metrics for everything. Are you involved in their development process? I play a tank spec Jugg in PvP and right now I think mitigation is the real issue, but any class that currently can pop out of stealth and knock off 10k hp within 2 seconds from a tank needs some burst reduction.

Just because you're an MMO veteran doesn't mean you're any good at the games.
