Tank Assassins (and Shadows) are ruining PvP.

Then you are not a "good" TankAssin or you don't have good dps gear.

Immune to force, force pull, force speed, 10% instant heal, 9% heal through a non-interruptable ability.

Sure, I can interrupt that 9% heal with a stun or knock-back. Knockback is out because... ummm, you just said to keep them at range (remember?), so now I need to save my stun for that one ability, right? How exactly do I get to range? With lift? They either trinket out or have immunity to force up and running.

You're grasping at straws with your L2P arguement. I'm arguably top 5 Sage / Sorc on my entire server, War Hero, Full BM with a WH sprinkled in here and there. I know how to play my class and have tried every spec combo under the sun.

Now, we're talking about GOOD Tank shadows / assassins in dps gear. They are harder for me, as a Sage to kill than an OP or even a Marauder. L2P arguments are like when someone starts using profanity or screaming in a debate, it means you have no legit response and have already conceded the point.

EDIT: All of this while in a TANKING stance with higher armor, shield chance, etc, etc...

Shadow's are squishy, even with CD'S up, L2Counteract them, and stop being bad.
there more or less a 1v1 class (yes they have the ability too cc etc etc...) but they should destroy you ESP with cooldown's available, stop crying.

Assasin tank's on the other hand, yes they need there dmg lower quite a bit.
Oh and while there at it, nerf mara/sents, i hear they need it now .

If you are in DPS gear, does that not make you a DPS? If not, which part of darkness spec actually makes you a tank more than max health and defense?

i was amazed when i looked through the patch notes and see operatives getting nerfed again and assassins not changing. i have a 50 assassin (my mains a marauder though). i couldnt believe it. tank assassins in dps gear are by far the most overpowered class with way too many tools.

ive since unsubscribed to the game but ill stick around till my subscription runs out. ill come back in a year when bioware has hopefully gotten the game straightened out (or EA does to SWTOR what it did to earth and beyond.)

The part where we get a 150% buff to armor in tank stance? The part where we lose a significant number of DPS abilities in tank stance, dropping our DPS from about 1200+ (DPS spec'd gear'd) to about 700 (tank spec'd, dps gear). To make it real clear (Tank shadow=2x armor rating, half the DPS vs DPS shadow). Whys is this bad/hard to understand?

And nowhere did I mention that this was about anything but Tank Assassins. I have no strong feelings either way when it comes to the other specs because everyone and their mother is rolling tank-spec anyway. For good reason.

Because it wins games.

Is the "700 DPS" referring to the parses mentioned earlier from tank geared people in PvE, or were there some more applicable parses mentioned in the last 40 pages?
