(From Taugrim.com)SWTOR Has Repeated RIFT’s Mistakes in Endgame PVP

not sure why he only bought the warhero main hand....... he would have gotten a much better return on expertise if he had bought 5+ pieces of battlemaster gear

personally a player that choose the class because is weak or strong and not because he likes it it's doing it all wrong

and a lot of player choosing the weak class they do so to hide their mediocrity and blame the "weak" class if they sux
choose the one you like if is op wont be op forever and give ur best.

all the rest is (as the need of writing a analysis of a game not on the game forum) an exercise in futility why if u really care about the game and if u really like the game and the community don't you feel the need to share your view in the forum of the game u are actually playing?

I can't take anyone seriously who thinks pvp is less fun since 1.2.

3. Less grind

Give me a break.

How is it less of a grind? Less RNG, sure, but all you'd have to do pre 1.2 was to complete your dailies/weeklies and you could just leave it at that, now it's hundreds of hours of getting your gear.

Are you saying that you're compairing the grind pre and post 1.2 solely on how fast you'll get your BM gear? ofcourse post 1.2 will be faster, take WoW for example, when a new tier of gear becomes availible the old tier gets easier acsessible. Saying that post 1.2 is less grindy because you get your BM gear in a couple of days is just stupid. Compare the top tier grind pre 1.2 to the top tier grind post 1.2, anything else is dumb.

At any rate, it's rather entertaining to read the amount of misinformation that people post about me. My gaming experience (which really meaningfully started in 2005 for MMORPGs) has been well documented. Am I the "best" PVP player? No. Am I competent? I've had opponents and allies tell me I am across games. And I am very willing to share my understanding of mechanics and classes with other players.

I'm talking fresh 50 -> full warhero.

First of all, they removed 2 tiers of pvp gear. The fact you can buy a starter set with credits is a huge time saver. It also took you nearly 25 battlemaster tokens for a suit, at a 25% drop rate that meant you need roughly 100 dailies. Then, when your daily was done, you couldn't even progress further. People who can only log in every second day would require 3 months of play to get battlemaster. AND ALL OF THIS IS THEY ARE LUCKY. Tons of us were not lucky, and got drop rates of 10-15%. This is NOT EVEN CONSIDERING THE VALOR REQUIREMENT that everyone has conveniently forgotten. Grinding valor was 10 warzones a day every day for over a month. Last of all, now I have flexibility of being able to play when I want. I can kill a saturday and play 10 hours and get a full piece of warhero, and skip the weekdays instead of being stuck waiting on my daily timer.

Bad memories combined with bad players = 1.2 whine

This guy gets it! I dreaded having to gear up an alt pre 1.2. I actually refused to do it and kept my alt at level 45, leaving the warzone right before it ended so I wouldn't get any XP from it. I could care less about the credits, valor and wz comms; I simply pvp'ed to pvp. But you can do that at pre 50 cause there's no gear to grind.

I said this a million times and so has everyone else, merge servers and do xque wz's. The class balance in 1.2 it pretty good. The only thing that needs to change is the fact that DPS specs still get to use tanking abilities and items. That is why people complain about vanguards/BH, assassins/shadows and juggs/guardians. They don't do too much dmg, they just live way too long, which results in high dmg done on the scoreboards and why people think they are OP.

Taugrim is stuck in WoW. The dude saved all his points to buy the WH weapon thinking that just like in WoW that's all you need to be competitive. No wonder he's been pvp'ing for 20 (actually 7) yrs without reaching close to the top! Tool!
