A clean duel where both players have all their Cooldowns up almost never happens. It's an interesting mental excercise, but I don't usually engage in theory crafting like that because people try to use it as an example of "X class being OP" and that's stupid because it almost never plays out that way in an actual WZ.

That's why WZs are interesting, they're about resourcefulness and not flow charts.

If people can regularly hit it fo 10K then Force Lightning isn't overpowered.
Ummm, the damage alone is no big deal. That you'e being healed for 9% of your life at the same time... well, that changes the metrics a little doesn't it? ~1500 heal, plus just being in combat stance alone gives your attacks a chance to heal every 4.5 seconds (3 seconds when the CD is blown, on top of the 10% instant heal when blowing the CD).

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
LMFAO
Only a non-good Tankassin can't absolutely manhandle a DPS sage/sorc.

Where did I ever say 1v1?

When does Balance in an MMO EVER have to do with 1v1?

Your forum posts are almost as non-factor as you in WZs on my server. Your LOL Shocks for 3-4k are a joke.

It's 12% of your life (FL ticks 4 times at 3% heal per tick).

I think the heal part on FL is overrated because it takes a lot to set up 3 stacks. Killing your enemy stops 100% of his DPS anyway, so I'm far more interested in the offensive capability of the attack than the defensive.

Yeah that's a huge underlying issue for most ranged classes. I don't know why but they feel they need to stand in place and let the auto aim or whatever it is move them around in circles.

Don't let that confuse you though, I kill sin tanks all day erryday on my other classes too. It doesn't mean you're hard-countering them. Maybe you're just a better player. In the almost 70 ranks worth of PvP my sin has I've yet to come across a player that can hard-counter me in a 1vs1.

You have snare, force pull, stuns, stealth, vanish AND the one thing that would help us accomplish this, force speed.

We can ae knockback, lol, you have immunity up.

We can lift, lol, you have immunity up.

We can stun, lol, now we have no counter for your uninerrubtle lightning that heals you for 9%.

We can, every 9 seconds, root you for 2 seconds. While we are perma-snared.

Stop diluting the argument with fabrications.

You also need to be fair though: They need a proc for that lightning to be uninterruptable. They can't just spam that whenever. It's definitely solid when it happens, but I'm not sure if that actually pushes it into OP or not yet.

I don't actually have that talent on my Assassin yet so I'm not sure. Definitely good but I'm not sure I'd say broken or even OP.

Thank you for being honest. Seriously.
