Tank Assassins (and Shadows) are ruining PvP.

Yeah I mean we are hard to kite. Not impossible but hard. A good trooper could keep me at bay he will have to hit me with stun when I try to force speed to him, he runs away to start his rotation up. Now if I dont have my pull ready ill just have to cloak out of thats up. If I have cloak, or pull up yeah you are not kiting me.

Seriously, someone traded a stun for Force Speed and you're complaining?

Because while the two classes you mentioned are indeed overpowered, there are counters to them.

I can giggle with delight while interrupting tracer missles. I can somewhat counter a Marauder with force slow / speed, 2 second root, etc, etc.. I have no counter for a Tank Assassin (again, i don't want to forget this caveat, that is well played and in DPS gear).

how did you get a complaint out of that. I was just throwing out a situation that seems to happen from time to time. I hit force speed and sometimes I will get stunned. Sometimes I dont have my pull up (crazy I know). If I have all my tools you are not kiting me. I like how people pull complaints out of nothing on these forums.

I went from lethality sniper to shadow tank, and the shadow tank is pretty far from dealing as much damages as a pure dps class.

Oh yeah , they got good survivability, good damages and all... But as a simple example : usually when i pops a 5s CD like resilience, ppl continue to attack me blindly instead of just putting a stun or kitting me until it wears off.

And it's just an example out of many situations where ppl using their brain would be much more effective than spamming attacks blindly. when he's out of def CDs , the shadow tank's survivability is far from being great.

You just die like anyone else. Yes you can stealth escape when you're about to die, but it's not like you're able to be back in the fight in 4 seconds with a full healthbar. ( besides the escape skill is on a 2mn CD, so you just can't escape whenever you want)

Shadows/Sins are not ruining PvP... Clueless people are...

But hey! l QQ will prevail , as always., so why even bother...

You're avoiding my question.

I'm not saying that Assassins are OP and I'm not neccesarily hopping on the "Nerf assassin train" but don't pretend like "Just kite me" is an option. There's so many reasons why that's a broken arguement and the fact that you can't answer my question is just proving that.

What class kites you? That's all I want to know.

FINALLY PROOF THESE PEOPLE ARE CLUELESS


Please do detail how you interrupt Powertech Tracer Missiles. I'd love to hear your counter. While we are at it... lets actually counter the right class with Railshot/Flame burst etc etc.


Assassins and Shadows are easy to counter.

Soft Counters:
1) CC their TKT/Shock
2) Staying out of melee decreases their burst, and after 15M you limit them to practically nothing but CC and tickle dps.
3) Snare
4) Root
5) DoT to prevent Vanish

Hard Counters:
Sorc DPS
Powertech DPS
Operative DPS


A Sorc should EASILY be able to outkite. And there
