Sorc/Sage Friendly Pull

Yes, that is a reasonable request. Playing against 4 top notch sorcs, all of them in the same area up in the racking in Huttball. "better find a place where they can't knock me down".

Lol, dude are you even reading what you are typing?

Why isn't it a smart strategy? They are employing things that you admittedly can not overcome. When you pay defense in most sports, you never let the offense behind you.

You dont have to kill them, you have to make them respect your presence, however. I win huttball all the time, it sounds like you don't. Perhaps you should take my advice into consideration.

Position yourself so you don't get knocked down, use force leap, pulls etc

I don't care about your suggestions, I'm a Sentinel, and I have been the entire time in Launch. I'm a melee class, and I have absolutely no problem with sorc/sages and shadows/sins in HB. It is a failure of your team to let these people get behind your defense.

Ball Carriers need support.

Leave him while you take care of the people in front of him. You can pass/get pulled/leap MUCH faster than a ball carrier can run/walk. If all you do is jump on the ball carrier, guards and heals will keep him alive. How do you think Raiding tanks live?

When you act like this, how do you expect people to respect your suggestions? If you aren't veteran enough of a player to realize that knockback sends you in a direction relative to where you are to your opponent, you really shouldn't be making any kind of recommendations.

Move around the Sorc so when they do throw a knock back, it sends you back to where more flooring is, isntead of off the platform. All competent PVPers know this

Between knock backs and CC's, you will NOT be able to kill 4 sorcs up in the racking unless you overwhelm them with numbesr. That allows their ball carrier to score.
I can, I have, and will continue to do so. Overload is on a 20second Cooldown, and I coordinate with my Guildmates who is a threat to the team. We act accordingly.
if you send only a few, then there will be a sorc freely able to "pull" the ball carrier when needed.

if you aren't familiar with this type of play it is because you don't play against quality sorcs. Sorcs are squishy... on the ground. Up top, against MULTIPLE sorcs, you just cannot avoid bing knocked down to the ground level, leaving the sorcs to easily pull their ball carrier.

I've been involved in SWTOR since closed beta in August. When my guild migrated to Helm of Graush we brought a lot of heat from other elite guilds who wanted to take us out. I'd wager to say we have one of the better servers in the entire game. Including top empire guilds from Closed Beta. Rather than being defensive of your own shortcomings, build off of them. Kill the sorcs, and quit complaining.


yes because "respecting my presence" will surely make them decide twice about pulling their ball carrier. Lol what are you even talking about? And i actually win 70%+ of my war zones. I don't really have issues with sorcs as of now, but I really don't feel like seeing all the top rated huttball teams with 3-4 sorcs on them.
You don't win 70% of anything because you are complaining about losing Huttball, and you are explaining strategy that known HB failures always fall behind. There is no "Top Huttball" team, you can't choose your WZ. Stop making excuses for your failure.


yes, I'd like to see you try to "not get knocked down" against a group of 4 sorcs up in the racking in Huttball. Chances are better you would win the lottery. And yes, EVERY class has a grapple. Better yet, grapple can pull multple targets at once!!! Dude... please just stop posting until you can make some sense.
You seem to have an obsession for your hatred towards knockback. Learn how to position yourself in contrast to the person with knockback. Sorc knockback is weak anyway it's the Commando knockback that will F you. Now you are getting angry. Whatever, I'm not the one who can't win at HB.



Lawl, just because you beat bad sorc teams, and don't have the insite to see that it is an imbalanced ability, doesn't mean that you will not be seeing teams stacking sorcs on them once rated games come out.

Alolowing pull to empty the resolve bar equalizes the issue here, and I don't think it is in the least bit unreasonable.



Yes they do, and sorcs provide by a huge, wide margin, the most support to a ball carrier. You just aren't getting this. A couple small tweaks (force speed is affected by carrying the ball and "pull" empties the resolve bar") fixes this.



Yes, because a team of mostly non-force users will so easily catch sorcs in Huttball. No speed boost vs force speed. Tons of CC (including knock backs) so when you do catch up to the sorcs, you get knocked down.

It is just not happening. Find a couple great sorcs, play with them, and see how easily they can help the team score. Now multiply that ten fold, and you will get how effective coordinating teams, stacking sorcs, will be in Huttball.

I can, I have, and will continue to do so. Overload is on a 20second Cooldown, and I coordinate with my Guildmates who is a threat to the team. We act accordingly..

All I read is making excuses for not winning HB, you clearly have bad strategy when you ask if you should send people to take care of Sorcs who are behind you. You can choose to improve, or you can make excuses. Choice is your's. Any competent/elite pvper in SWTOR knows how to take care of situations you talk about. I suggest more experience.

Players can just pass the ball. Having the ability to pull the carrier doesn't really advance the ball any more than they would normally be able to. Being able to pull the enemy is much better. The problem is people are dumb and don't pass.

Don't let sorc move ahead if you dont want them to Friendly pull.

If you remove all this from Huttball.
People will just Move ahead to get pass.
and You will be back here on forum for a Nerf on Pass ability.
