Looka Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Smash - 5-7k instant AOE critical hits. How do you avoid this? I understand that 1v1 Smash isn't a huge deal, but in a WZ with 2-4 Juggernauts, their various snares, stuns and interrupts I'm not sure how to do anything but get completely destroyed by this one single ability. I actually played a Juggernaut for a while, got decent enough gear and decided to try it out for myself. Boy was I sure OP, seeing 5-7k pop up on my screen is sure fun. Problem is when you're NOT ready to smash, what a boring spec to play. I understand that the Juggernaut and Marauder (to a lesser extent) need the ability to do competitive damage but this seems (to me) to be the worst way to do it. Let the trolling and flaming begin.

Mindwreck Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think I figured out the theory behind smash. Some brilliantly minded human being was sitting at his desk and asked himself; "how do I pull in all them Pac-Man fans out there, who are only used to using a joystick and 3 buttons?". Hence, the birth of the smash spec. That, and lightsabers are so darn cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xooey Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If smash gets nerfed everyone will move on to a new favorite topic, so I wouldn't look forward to seeing the pvp forums get positive then (or ever). But maybe we could vote on which one is next? I'm leaving the obvious bubble stun out. Here is a sampling from other topics of complaints I've seen in the last month or so, not bug related: Premades Pugs Abilities being used mid-air Hacks/Exploits Stuns & Roots Shadows/Assassins Snipers/Gunslingers Operatives/Scoundrels Powertechs/Vanguards Mercenaries/Commandos RWZ itemized players Undergeared players Just plain bad players FTP players Field Respec Taunting mechanic/Tanks in PVP Healing in general AH pylon cap time People who leave warzones Time required to attain gear Necessity of expertise at all One faction "always wins" Huttball Ancient Hypergates ... So we could just pick the next one and get that out of the way now, so everyone can get their detailed and well informed research started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shatterstar Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Oh look, another smash thread, hooray. We haven't had a new one of those in.. hmm.. hours (at worst, probably more like minutes). Can't all the whiners read enough to just see the other thread(s) and post there? Oh, and nerf operatives, kthxbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
