If you use pyro as a merc you are already bad. Pyro is a vang/PT tree, and have no synergy with merc/commando.

If they nerf gunnery merc/commando will have nothing going for it damagewise. I understand they will buff kolto bomb so it will hit 5 targets instead of 3. The healing it does is still ridiculously weak, but it will still be enough to force every merc/commando into being healers.

Think the only way to get OWPVP to work, without faction imbalances is to have 3 factions.. and yeah. We don't have that..

Why won't people learn from DAoC

I want to point out... It mentions Bounty Hunter, not Commandos. Hence, I believe it could have something to do with their heat bar. BH have a very small advantage on commandos on the heat vs ammo. It's about a 12.5 : 12 ratio BH : Commando if heat was converted to ammo.

I do see something being done with grav round and tracer missile, but it wasn't specifically mentioned.

When they nerf this class back to reality it will still be the only option for these scrubs.

I mean who else isn't laughing hysterically when a sage/sorc calls a commando/merc faceroll?

They actually believe their class is hard ROFL. I mean how can you be that delusional.

BH nerfs will prob be bug fixes (raiding) because of stacking grav rounds/tracer missiles. Merc/Commandos are a hell of a lot closer to balanced then hybrid sage/sorc.

I am sure they want to add a more complex rotation for both classes (look what happened with hunters in WoW who are now one of the HARDEST classes to play, when they were by far the easiest in early WoW). I highly doubt they can do that by the next patch though.

But yes. The sorc/sage tears will be hysterical. I imagine they will all try to roll marauders/sents then flood the class forums with demands that the class be made easier to play...

Should be epic.

Simply repeating tired phrase like scrub, faceroll and other tired qq phrases doesn't make you a better player. If you can't face a class in a warzone, spend less time on the forums, and more time in-game.

You assume that people with a sorc/sage play only that class, which is laughable. Many don't, and know therefore that the rotation in many classes is no harder. (NOTE- I said MANY- not ALL), in as much as you can compare rotations at end game.

So keep fooling yourself, its easier to complain on the forums than it is to improve in-game.

One thing that stood out in the article was Bioware's complete lack of insight as to what we really want from open world PvP. Changing Ilum to simply a PvP enabled zone will do nothing. Players want objectives and reasons to fight, with no objectives that leaves politics and sadly this game is completely lacking of anything even resembling rivalry between sides, guilds, groups or individuals. There is no PvP to speak of before level 50 outside of Warzones meaning that there is no enemies or alliances formed, that won't change by removing the PvP rewards from Ilum.
This. SWTOR is designed by a bunch of bottom of the barrel thinkers. The game is designed for people who can not graduate from high school and get angry when someone tells them "no".

Case in point, this guy ^

Are you, sir, really that stupid? Pyro may be a shared tree but the PT trees have synergy with it. Do you ever hear about merc pyro's being OP? No, why? because they're *********** terrible. It's derp face casuals that are destroying this genera.

I've played every class in this game, except gunslinger, and all those classes i got up to 25+ in levels. Sorc which is a 50, is BY FAR the easiest one I've played, easiest to kite with, easiest to CC with, and just plain easier due to the fact that range is far more superior in this game, due to many reasons..

I quit my sorc to that reason, and the fact that everyone and their mom plays that class, and shear boringness spamming lightning. I hope they get a nerf, I really do, along with other classes. I really don't know why people defend them saying they don't need one.

Defending a class usually like you said, that person needs to be a better player. I've played it, I beat them, therefore cause I know the mechanics of one, and I still say they need the nerf.

I really hope they don't nerf merc/powertech.

It is simply not needed, they are not overpowered.

It will be so awesome seeing your rationalizations when the patch notes come out. Oh how glorious.
