Please edit your post and use normal colors. You probably have a point, but right now it's being lost in rainbow land.
Newbies always need to adapt to reading.

I really despise naysayers , they don't want anybody else's classes to get buffs but theirs. I WANT TO BE BUFFED RIGHT NOW! DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!

Second as to your utility point that's just about what every class has to do, and the idea is to make a player choose. As a Marauder I don't have a single utility point that's not defensive in nature. On my Sorc, it's about 60% defense, 40 Offense. My is now 70% defense and 30% offense for utilities thanks to the nerf requiring me to give up a utility point to get back functionality I had.

I honestly think a lot of it is perception that they're not getting any 'adjustments' being a bad thing and the fact that sins are REALLY freakin strong right now and sins are great at countering just about everything a sniper and most other classes can throw at them. If Sins anti-CC and defensive utilities get adjusted downward I think snipers will feel a lot better.
Tactical surge, Plastic explosive, sticky grenade, high impact bolt, energy surge (or whatever it is called ) fully charged, you will easy get that amount of damage. I have killed someone with that combo in pvp within 4.5-6 seconds. And no, not every class has to choose defensives. Vanguard gets ALL of the defensive abilities commando has in their base tree. They are by far less squishy than people lead them on to be, at least tacitcs is. Plasmatech is still a wet noodle.

Well I would've given it a 3/10, but it seems like you've fooled a lot of people here so grats.

Trouble is, some class has to be the one it is perceived to make sense to all pile onto in solo, since the height of tactical discussion in that game mode in most games is 'who first?'

Unless all specs are made entirely equal someone's going to be at the bottom survivability-wise, so it kinda makes sense for mercs and snipers to be made the 'target-of-choice' as so few people play them (particularly snipers).

They need to protect the saber-wavers, particularly when hoping for an influx of glowstick fan-boys when the new films start rolling out. Mara's were third on the target list and saw their participation numbers plummet, so action was clearly needed there.

And it's never going to be ops or 'sins, cause stealthers can't be targeted from the get-go, thus most 4-dps groups aren't going to have the patience to wait to find them.

PT's have potential as the next victim, they already have some tangible defensive weaknesses, it wouldn't take much of a tweak to toss them in the gutter, but overall it probably makes sense to leave snipers & mercs at the bottom, toss out the occasional bit of mis-information ('Snipers are really good in solo ranked!') to try to keep the number of victims per arena up, and not change it until people stop playing them altogether.

Oh, and they can't make Sorcs have the kind of miserable solo ranked experience snipers have, the forum would drown.

3/10 huh? Typical of you to not have anything constructive to add to the discussion. You come here with your accusations and no reasoning or evidence to back up your claims.
I wrote in detail what I thought was wrong and what I wanted to be done but it seems the peanut you have for a brain can only generate 1 sentence per day.
You are like a dyslexic child throwing ice cubes at the sun. All your actions are innately futile for lack of understanding, please close your account and go back to pre-school.
