and third place This is why there was a prize of 500k for the non-stealthy class to make it the farthest.

However short or long a duration, invisibility in PvP is a alpha game mechanic. While I feel SWTOR does a decent job of balancing stealth in this game, more so than many other MMOs, it will always be an alpha ability in games that allow it for PvP.

Stealth classes never have a commitment to combat and can always make the enemy player waste their 'cooldowns'. SWTOR adds an additional lulzy mechanic to stealth classes as well, with the whole sap-and-regen-health capability.

But hey its cool someone organized an event like this. Sounds pretty cool. A month long, that's dedication.

Gotta respect Maniac for representing the commandos close to the end of the match. There was 1 or 2 marauders that did well too it seems. Sucks that 75% of that board is stealth classes though

Disclaimer: I have both an Assassin and a Shadow. Great class for being well rounded in everything. I love playing mine. But I play SEVERAL other classes as well. I'm not just hating on stealthers haha.

I'm thinking of doing a new event called "The Jawa Games." It would be a play on the hunger games, 16 teams of two start around the circular PvP orb objective in the Gree Event (this would allow same faction carnage). The last team standing would be the victor, all teams must remain in the PvP objective area, no stealthies allowed to ensure fair play and avoid hiding till the last man.

Any interest among the PvP community for me to set this up?

I refer you to the Jung Ma server forums for all your RP needs Maniac.

I am forever shunned from Jung Ma after I crashed a Cathar wedding on the lovely beaches of Novare Coast.

Now the people will say nerf to sins again!!

There is the reason for nerf, isn't it?

Where was that vengenance jugg guy that won the last 1v1 tournament?

He failed the RNG roll on participation.

Ah okay, that sucks. He was damned good!

Wasn't a serious response - just a nod towards the randomness of Vengeance damage.

Yeah off topic, but I hate that they removed the almost sure-fire Crit Chance on your dispatch with 2.0. I hated that change.

I don't understand what that means. Care to elaborate?

I'd imagine it being a little strong with dispatch usable outside execute range. But hey, stackable crit bonus to the point of autocrit on blade storms! Kinda meh without a surge talent, but waddayagonnado?

No Sorcerors or Sages there who managed to heal to full + make attackers pay ?

No they're there. You must have some kind of perception problem preventing you from seeing them.

and third place

But I won the bronze match.....

yes, because the game should be balanced around 1v1s that makes perfect sense.

Thanks Maniac, gotta say I didn't expect a lot of celebration but I'm nonetheless more than a bit alienated by everyone's attitude about the results. Given recent Bastion happenings, I guess entering was a lose-lose decision anyways, meh. The credits are nice though.

thanks for hosting the tourney

Yes, I noticed them when I was browsing through the brackets with more detail later.

But - there's so many other classes in there, they get easily overlooked.
