I guess if you are on the Bastion, you might consider anyone you face potential top pvper. But what about the people you never played against? There are thousands you have never faced.

But check out Scyn100 on youtube. He is the only top pvper I can think of that streams videos on my server. He's a clicker last time I checked.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts on how he plays.

Yes several BUT ONLY just several. In fact not enough to make your piano analogy valid in my mind. Most abilities for every class respect the GCD. Now if every ability didn't respect the GCD, that's another story.

You know what, this isn't GW2 or Wow. We don't have cross server PVP. No one can sincerely claim to be the best. Anyone who believes in their own hype isn't legit to me.



There is no clear advantage in SWTOR to keybinders. It is so small, that for some one to totally suck would lead me to think that pvper wasn't good to begin with. And yes your friends most certainly lost to clickers during their swtor pvp career.


. Regarding SWTOR I will digress. But you might be correct for other PC games, but we are not talking about any other games are we?

This is not about Star Craft and I leave my opinions to be reflective of SWTOR and not any other MMO or PC game.

If and when cross server pvp ever is brought back to the table, and I want to be the best that ever lived in SWTOR then I will consider your advice.

Thanks again.
The person who came up with piano analogy was me, the guy you are responding to is a different poster. Just thought id point that out.

Heresy : Who wants to be the best ?

To me, the "fun factor" is far more important than being the best.

And that's why I always get so easily frustrated in PvP. Because I don't want to be the best : I want to have fun.

Even an mediocre potter can have LOTS of fun ! He or she doesn't need to be the best for having so much fun.

And that'y why I called my opinion a "heresy".

350k damage and 0 kills, while players with less damage scored up to nine.

Did you somehow sneak a Mk.5 Training Dummy past warzone security?
What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence of the Sith race and the Sith people, the glory of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the Empire, so that we may fulfill the mission allotted us by the Force itself. Everything must be examined from this point of view and used or rejected according to its utility.

Not only that, but he managed to do top damage (which does not matter in Huttball) while doing 0 objectives. Big contributions in that loss.

To experiment last night, i did only clicking on my sniper. I don't think i lost anything.

Tried it on my carnage mara and i obviously lost a lot. Retraited smashmonkey, didn't miss a tick.

Sorc i found almost impossible to play competently by only clicking.

So a few conclusions:
- if your rotation is primarily 5-6 buttons, you can probably click and lose little to nothing.
- if you arent less mobile (sniper) and dont have to focus on constant movement and positioning for your non-instant abilities, you can probably click.
- if you have to click 8+ skills frequently, clicking probably is a bad idea.
- if you have very high alacrity, such as berserk ataru mara or polarity shifted sorc, you can't click that fast.

At no point did i need to search for my skills on the bar, because my layout is very specific and similar for all alts.

actually that # is 385K total damage, and the centerpoint of the screenshot which i hope you would've noticed is the 1.466K damage per second. if you look at the other screenshots you will see 2 more over 1.4K dps. i was using these to show that it is possible to do constant high output damage even when clicking. but to answer your question, no but i'm working on it >.> haha
