To the biased Sents/Maras defending their OP class

I'll probably roll a gunslinger and maximize their effectiveness - you know, play them correctly - and proceed to watch the cry babies call for their nerf.

I started out as a mando and hated scoundrel so much, that I rolled a scoundrel. They nerfed scoundrel so I went back to my mando. I knew mando was going to get nerfed so I rolled a sentinel. Now, I know sentinel is going to get nerfed, so I will just finish up my gunslinger, vanguard, sage or shadow. Probably gunslinger because, if played properly, they can destroy people before they even know what happened. It has happened to me, but I am not screaming for their nerf, hahaha. Maybe shadow, because they have destroyed me and have a nice pull that is useful. Not sure, but I do know whatever class it is, it will get nerfed.

So, if you are curious about what class is going to get nerfed after sentinals, just ask me what class I decided to play, lol. Because they are sure to get nerfed...

Are you a healer or a DPS Sage? If you're a healer, your class just got overnerfed. Play with a tank.

If you're a DPS Sage, have someone teach you how to kite melee. I know a handful of Sages/Sorcs that are so good at 1v1. I'm serious. I know you'll discount this post as BS. But I guarantee that if you go to your class forums and start a thread called "How do I kill a Marauder?" you'll learn a few new tricks. Totally serious. /shrug

Those methods are excactly what I try to do, and it's quite successful. Especially the 2v1-parts because I'm a sorc-healer so I won't kill anything anyway.
I have no problem outhealing/kiting some of the best marauders/sents of my server if they focus me and noone helps me. Vanguards/PT's are a much bigger problem for me.
But I see this all from the view of a dps wo gets into a 1on1 against a marauder/sent.
It's just ridiculous for me that you have to do some of the things I mentioned. For every class there should be at least a fair chance to beat a player of another class with the same amount of gear and skill.

How can anyone think that a class with nearly the highest (or highest) DPS deserves an in combat stealth and a 6s 99% invuln? Jesus its like in AoC when the tanks dealt the most damage and could stealth, Maras literally have everything.

Seems Sages and Sorcs are the ones that whine the most about Sents or Marauders or the other DPS classes that out DPS the Sages and Sorcs. Not saying that's your reasoning, mind you, but I've seen a lot of them.

You guys got way too many nerfs, for the record. I was livid when I saw the nerfs.

Very true, I can agree on this. Very valid point.

I wouldn't mind if they threw in a new ability or two, or buffed current ones, to maybe give others a better chance at countering Guarded.

Go back to I dunno, September of last year and ask Bioware that.

But it wasn't OP then. Marauders/Sentinels were still considered the worst class in the game. It's just NOW that TTK is totally broken, and heals have been nerfed that they're a huge problem. So the solution isn't to fix broken damage and heals, it's to nerf Marauders and Sentinels. o_O

Maras/Sents in good hands have always been one of the best classes, only terrible people made them seem very weak at the start.
And the new TTK is one of the things that contributed to the Maras/Sents becoming considered OP.......and if they lose Guarded by the force/Undying rage or have it altered i would no longer see them as OP (depending on what the change is) but as the damage has gone up, UNdying rage/Guarded by the force is the ONLY defensive cooldown that still pretty much completely mitigates all types of the new higher damage thats going around.

"99% damage reduction is not complete damage immunity"

I cracked up when I read this, must be the worst statement Iv ever seen on any Forums.. so an Ability that we usually trigger for 3-4k on you hits for between 12-20 dmg during this 5sec... must really hurt

"Since 1.2 i don't feel i'm killing any faster or dying any faster"

I guess you are either the only Mara/Sent that experience this or you simple the worst. Most in our Guild has has gone from being among mid to better to Total dmg Domination after 1.2 as Sent

Undying rage/Guarded (5sec immunity) on a DPS class is the worst ability Iv seen in an MMO, only Compared to Rifts Pyromancer Bubble ( gave CC-Imun + 30% ) and Siphon Vitality in Warhammer Online ( Healed MDPS on dmg to such an extent they could take on 5 targets & win )


Wake up Sents/Maras !! Even our best Sent says he is so OP its silly after 1.2

Rave

Might not have been clear enough in my last post.
All defensive cd's have a counter action to them in terms of damage.......Shadow pops resilience, use a weapon attack not force/tech.......
Scoundrel pops dodge, use force/tech attacks
The other ones like merc shield, carry on doing whatever as your damage is only reducded, not completely stopped.

Mara pops Guarded/Undying.......what can you do? CC him if you still have one available and he doesnt have full resolve, but then you still have to sit there for 4 seconds more and do nothing.
