What are things that baddies do that make them terrible PvPers?

Guilty. I buff like crazy before a match starts, but I've just now started rebuffing after I leave the spawn.

Step 1, alt tab target.
Step 2, attack.

Just attacking without putting any thought into who needs to be attacked.

You get a pass. The other stuff you've posted in this thread show that you're not a Baddie(tm).

I do it all the time. Its a completely valid role for a tank/dps to play when going for objectives.


Cluster of ranged after your healer/objective? Leap in and threat scream
Planting the bomb? Run towards the group trying to interrupt and intimidate roar
Group after huttball carrier? Leap in and chilling scream / intimidate roar
Group capturing node? Leap into them and aoe smash / intimidate roar

Now if they were all alone and you had a single guy go after 4 or 5 by himself, maybe he was keeping them occupied while others were resetting in huttball, capturing a node, or planting the bomb? Some people play roles that help their teammates complete objectives, not just to look good on a scoreboard.

Awww! Thank you! I have my baddy moments, though. I think everyone does, which is why I don't answer beginner questions in a match with shut up, noob! If I did that, I'd have to remind myself of the times I've screwed up even though I know better. Like when I've peeked into the pit and gotten force jumped to by the ball carrier.

Operation leaders who fail to mark healers.
Did this in alderaan, pub battlemaster premade had a significantly harder time. Did it next queue in huttball, we facerolled to victory while 2 operatives and 2 assassins permaganked the other team's healers.

Okay, I take it back, you ARE a baddie.

Hrmm...go pick up a Target Marker. I get mine at a vendor in Ord Mantell outside of the Commando headquarters. Like 500cr, cheap.

Use it on Bad Guy healers, and you don't have to rely on the raid leader.

Stunning someone 5m away isn't a dumb thing to do. Thats less than 2 seconds from the goal line. Why let them walk in? If someone was going to grapple them, they should have done it by now. At least this gives the grappler an extra 6 seconds. Not stunning someone 5m away, when you could have, would be an even worse play.

Another thing I disagree with is standing alone and guarding a base. This most often occurs when a team is losing. They control only 1 base which is never getting attacked, yet they continue to guard it with 1 or 2 defenders. How is your team going to ever make a comeback when you are attacking with 6 vs 8?

You have to risk losing the turret (which usually wont happen) in hopes of gaining a 2nd turret. Almost every team only holds 2 turrets. There is no need to guard a turret the enemy isn't interested in.

Sure guard your only base for a few minutes. But if two people have been standing there alone for 5 minutes, that a major factor in the loss.

How about NOT CALLING INCOMING early enough for help to get to you.... as demonstrated above.
