Dots no longer helpful in defense???????

What a load of utter crap. Most games taking damage in any form (dot included) prevents interaction with objects or activates pushback. The idea is that in a MULTIPLAYER game, the TEAM that works best TOGETHER wins. Therefore if your team is not actively removing or preventing damage, they deserve to loose.

I shouldn;t even have to point out how this is a vital part of a healer/support role in a team PvP battle, and that removing it really suggest that these aspects are not important or even required. Now if we can just remove CC we can turn PvP into a boring DPS race, in which case - bugger actually playing it, can they just work out my teams DPS and compare it to the other teams and give us a win or loss - would really save me time in getting that shiny gear that makes me a much much more skilled player....

ahh damn - my sarcasm key got stuck down somewhere through that....brb going to fix it....

The Sorc can't DoT up a whole team. Problem = solved

Good players just used to remove the DoT's and carry on as normal.

This will just mean 1 good player can no longer hold off multiple bads.

Good: Oh noes I have been DoT'd! *cleanses self* buhahaha. Done.

Bad: Oh noes I have been DoT'd! *trys to plant/cap untill DoT returns* QQ. *Goes to forum and makes a whine thread*

Again, cleanse. Say it with me, cleanse. All you have to do is cleanse the single target DoT. .

So the whole team needs to be there just in case there is a sorceror? Wat.

So is letting one person DoT up your entire team. Someone earlier was saying it was OP for one person to DoT 5 people on their team sitting at a Voidstar door, but that literally means that 5 people let ONE person sit there, shoot at them, for 7.5 seconds without doing anything about it.

If a Sorc is DoTing 1 guy, he's not putting it up on anyone else. If it's 1v1 the Sorc keeps him from capping anyways. If it's 2v1 (or more), there's a guy who isn't DoTed.

Again, problem = solved

Another thing, what if your team doesn't have a dispeller at all? Does that mean you should autolose because the system didn't give you a balanced team? (Hint: The answer to the second question is "no."

Not using a purge ability is even more so.
