Sorc/Sage Friendly Pull

Single tear for you...

I just finshed replying to somone who said grapple is OP..... See a trend here?? Many classes have an ability that is very useful in Huttball AND its preventable..

So you guys dont want Grapple, no friendly pulls, i assume force push is out... Oh force jump is OP to then... Wait Jet charge is out to thats OP,

Hey Baddie.. Make some friends get a premade and use these skills to your advantage... Dont come and whine here.. youll get no sympathy from us...

And furthermore if you think BIoware is going to remove some of the most fun interactive, fresh combat mechanics in PvP then your *** Crazy...

If I was a Dev I would be laughing at your post...

wow... you ever see 2-3 healers keepin a half decently geared tank alive? I take it no since you dont seem to get my post about he damage... it is totally feasable, and just cuz YOU havent encountered it doesnt mean it dont exist... I dont see why you cant stun/cc/knockback a puller... most classes have 1 or multiple of those abilities... its not friggin hard to look up and see the sorc in his pointy hat in the rafters and say to ones self..."hmmm maybe i should pull him down or get to him and Knockback, or range CC him.... Really??? As far as a tank taking 200k damage on a ball run, a good team targets the ball carrier and or healers when the other team has it... its not uncommon at all for that type or amount of dmg to be encountered... especially with 8 people targeting you with all they got... think about it... a sorc does 1-3k dps and i know other classes can match that... so 8 people trargeting that tank is gonna produce a MINIMUM of 8-16k DPS.... now multiply that by the 10-30 seconds it takes that tank to get to the goal line... hmmmsay... thats roughly 160k to 450k dmg isnt it? even avrging it out to account for lapses in judgment or LOS interupts and you get 200-300k...

I love posters like the OP

Lets nerf or get ride of something

BECAUSE THEY FEEL IT BREAKS 1 WARZONE!!

Realize the game is bigger then Huttball and move around.

They don't break the map, they make the map.

What kind of simplistic dynamic would hutball be if we weren't able to manipulate player location. It would be the same boring kill the flag carrier crap and man, did that get boring fast.

Here's some tips. Keep your cat walks clean! Be proactive about it. If some character runs ahead of the their ball carrier wielding 1 single bladed lightsaber, guess what;s about to happen? Yep, a pull so at that point, ignore the ball carrier and A) pull the sage back B) knock the sage off C) kill the sage. A ball carrier without support will not likely have enough time to make the goal line without dying, so therefore one should remove their support system.

Most players fail at hutball because it actually requires forethought to play well. If you cannot predict the other team's next move, then you'll lose. And that my friend, is what is breaking the game for you.

As I mentioned yesterday, the OP clearly needs to learn how to play. Or quit and try checkers or something more suitable to his inferior gaming talent.

I also love how he says "he's not crying." Correct me if I'm confused here, but going to a forum to complain about a loss in Huttball and requesting the game be changed to suit your lack of ability is NOT crying? Sure...

PS -- Hey OP, Bioware is implementing your changes right now due to your moving post.

Didn't even bother reading all the replies, so don't know if this has been said.. but why don't you also complain about a tank being able to jump to allies and enemies if you are complaining about a squishy being able to pull an ally?

this is a great idea

actualy lets try and get this implamented make a post about this to get people to sign because im not joking but this would fix alot of problems and make people play huttball how its suppose to be played


again great idea

Wow. Long thread when all that needs to be said is keep the damned sorcerer/sage the F off your side of the arena. Is defense so hard of a concept?

I dont mind the pulls / leaps etc. They make the game more interesting. What I do mind is some classes (My own included) total lack of ANY of these abilitys.

As a Sawbones I have no pull. no push. no leap. no interced. no sprint. no knock back. Nothing.

This makes keeping pace with the game very difficult. As a healer I am supposed to heal my team and the ball carrier. Not really possible since there is no way i can keep pace with the ball carrier unless its a commando trudging along. Of course the same is true if my team passes. The difference is that a sage CAN keep pace using thier nifty sprint, they can protect a carrier with thier niffty knock back. (sure I can flash bang people once every min, i'd much rather have a knock back that will clear a catwalk on a 20s CD tho)

I dont find classes having these cool abilitys to be unbalancing, i feel that classes lacking ANY of these abilitys puts them as second rate citizens.

Dont even try to mention *stealth* As a healer i can not heal form stealth and it does not help me keep pace with the game since i move at a CRAWL in stealth.

To me the pull ability is not the issue. In hutball it is the equivalent of passing the ball to that person. i.e the ball moves to the same place as someone on your team. Your team member needs to be there, you might as well throw the ball.

Charge on the other hand is a different mechanic. It moves the ball (and the player) to a location that one of your team is not. To me that is the ability that "might" need adjustment. The range on charge just seems to be a little excessive how about halving the distance when carrying the ball.
