Why Smash Should Not be Nerfed

u see ppl complaining, cause the smash problem is the pinnacle of the "what's broken" list

********. Get out of that box please.

And don't EVER compare me to the average poster again.

Well my OP wasn't directed at the more rational-minded people on the forums. It was meant to be controversial and read by the "nerf Smash but can't raelly explain how it ties into the overall balance of the game" camp.

Evo... Sometimes you ARE the average poster, just like everyone is once in a while. So take a chill pill walk out of here before something bad happens

Carnage requires more uptime than Smash, or Infiltration, for that matter. I don't really oppose nerfing Smash active survivability, because it has pretty solid passive mitigation, compared to other specs, as far as Marauders are concerned.

Most classes that are positionally vulnerable due to combat system design have the "don't kill me" fallback skills, or skill combos. Juggs have the mighty Endure Pain+medpack/Intercede. Sins/Ops get Vanish. Commandos get AR+HTL+3 instant heals combo(ok, a stretch, but saved my arse a lot of times). PT/Vanguard survivability gets a much-welcome boost in 2.4.

Sorcs can.... LoS and heal to full (sorry, couldn't quite help it).

Also, why so angry about being called an average poster? Could mean anything. Unless you aren't as secure about your knowledge and experience as you're trying to demonstrate.
I run all AC types at 55, and I think I have a pretty good idea of balance from most possible viewpoints. You're probably just hurting over a traumatic experience.

Yet half of your arguments are at the very least too closely minded to mean anything.. if you do something, do it right.

This was just bad.

I feel you need to counter extreme bias towards one direction with extreme bias towards the other. You can't fight emotion with logic.

Your post is the exact opposite of logic..

I do appreciate the how the OP has stuck to his guns, his old crazy guns.

Essentially, he believes healing needs a nerf but smash should stay the same.

Do you play a healer, friend? There is no reason to bring a healer if a single dps can cancel him/her out because then you might as well bring another dps. As I said before, op heals could afford to take a hit to energy management (say, pre-2.0 standards when kolto probe actually cost a fully geared op something) while merc heals need serious help and sorc heals need an exclusive defensive cd
