Autoface: The reason why ranged is imbalanced

So do melee, and there's plenty of use of LoS and ability to use positionals if you know what you're doing.

How is it trolling when a change is being discussed to range class, and many of you haven't any clue how some of the range classes work, or as has been discussed, that Gunslingers and Snipers do not have auto-facing abilities unless in Cover? Vying to remove an ability and not even understanding how it will affect other classes outside your personal opinion of what is op and what is not is just... irresponsible.

If you are implying that, as a ranged class, you never target a player who is within 12 meters of you with a straight cast (since a player can easily cover 12 meters in 2 seconds), you are bad at video games.

as far as I know a sniper can't pivot in cover without popping himself out of cover...so this deal won't fly.

You have to give snipers something to allow them to counter bunny hopping and stay in cover.

easy fix - only allow autofacing within a 4 meter range.

Kuari:
I'm not really talking about gunslingers: I feel your pain. You are forced into being immobile as a slinger and due to the fact that you can't turn in cover: you need autoface until they change cover. Basically gunslinger needs a revamp in pvp to be less dependent on cover. I am talking about the other ranged classes as the representation is low for slingers.

your points are solid and i agree.

I'm also talking from an assassin perspective though... and having played some guardian/juggarnaut. I understand that mercs/commandos for sure need some nerfing given how powerful they are. Ridiculously so, but their autofacing is far from the reason. And the only other real true ranged combo is sage/sorc.. that's all shield and AoE damage that people complain about. Force lightning some, but channels aren't exactly something removing auto facing from works well with.

I'll teach Juggs/Guards and Sents/Maras a trick... did the range hitting you make you target them? OK.. stop moving, press charge. You're next to them now if they aren't a cover class .

And playing TOR should mean what exactly... because it is exactly the same game as WoW, except tons of story and worse gameplay. Oh and lightsabers. Can't forget those.

It was a good post though, I totally agree with the autoface/interrupt points you made
