While you're at it, remove all gear. Make all players have 4 moves: dodge, attack, heal, defend. That way everyone is all equal and it will be based on skills. YAY!

STOP COMPLAINING OR UNSUB F'IN BABIES. Getting a minimum 3 badges per game is easy. Especially if you are actually doing the objective. 2 of the maps, you get 2 badges if you stand by a node.....how easy is that?After 1.2 getting +6 is cake, just quit PvP if you're having a hard time getting a minumum 3. Didn't get any rewards because your team sucked? WZ isn't a solo game, its 8v8. Learn to work as a team or suffer the consequences. Stop qqing about everything and play or quit.

Getting BM gear didn't take skills, it took time. Any moron can grind all day in PvP to get gear. QQ more. If you think you're good at PvP, then gear shouldn't matter, you're skills will show that.

Hope this is a troll thread........although 50 GS do some good damage, go against any good PvPer and they'll LoS most of the time.

Mindless killing? Just go to Ilum or Tatoonie.

I'm glad cover is fixed. I welcome the 60% AoE reduction when hunkered down. But when you think of it, Gunslingers are not really affected by AoE that much because we're usually at a distance or not the focus. Ilum is pretty much deserted these days and the big battles with tons of AoE are now gone, or atleast in my server it is. For WZ, in Voidstar, AoE are mainly done at the doors. Not sure about most of you, but I'm usually not by the doors unless I'm disabling or planting. In Huttball, everyone's constantly moving. The Civil War is the only one that might benefit this upgrade the most. With most AoE's, to avoid them you simply move out of it of them, which removes Hunker Down. Definitely good for PvE boss fights that AoE, but only if your stationary in it. Most boss fights you're constantly moving, the only boss I can see this being used on frequently is EV's first boss where he AoE missles. I welcome the changes, any buff is better than no buff or a nerf. Sorry if I sound like a Debbie downer lol, I'm just nitpicking.

Nah, I didn't much into it. Just saw what OP posted. If that is true that yes, it might be a good investment. And to answer your other question, I never cast Charge Burst. I find it easier and a little faster to get out of cover and back into it for another instant shot. For XS, I usually use Illegal Mods. And for Speed Shot, I've never really thought about Alacrity on it, especially since I don't have much to begin with. With the new patch, I'll probably test it out for myself to see if it's worth it or not.

/signed 8-16 players race. Each player puts entree fee, winner takes all

Just because you have full BM doens't mean you're a good PvP'er. Just means you had a lot of time to grind. If you think you're good then there shouldn't be an issue with everyone having access to the top PvP gear because then it will be based on Skill and teamwork rather than gear. Skill vs Skill > Gear vs Gear, that's what a good PvPer goes by.

I second the more Huttball maps post. -Implement usable objects in some of the maps (turrets, grabbling hook to platforms, boxes you see in PvE that freeze or dmg players, etc). Different maps will have different items. -Buff/Debuff aura around ball carrier. For example, having +5 allies within 15 yards of ball carrier will grant damage to allies within range and healing buff on carrier. Having +5 enemies within 15 yards of ball carrier will grant enemies damage buff and healing debuff on ball carrier. Now if both sides have 5 players near ball carrier, which ever side has the greater amount will receive the buff. -Additional Valor/Commendations for the following: Scoring, assisting the scorer via healing, passing the ball that lead to scoring, intercepting the ball, death blow to ball carrier, assisted and killing the ball carrier, scoring without any assist, scoring without environmental dmg, etc. -Different environmental zones and/or mobs. Ice that freezes unit in place, zones that will not let ball carrier to run or pass, zones so player can't sprint, leap, pull, jump, stealth, heal, or dps, etc. Perhaps have usable computer panels that will change zone debuff. Water stream/river that will carry player back to center of the map if they fall into it. Vines that randomly slap and knock you away. Random spaceships flying in dropping bombs. Mobs of droids that spawn and attack randomly or spawn and attack winning team for a brief time or until killed.

Your original post stated you wanted a instant heal due to being interrupted multiples times within a short amount of time. - All classes are vulnerable to the same interrupts, just not Sages. - Once interrupted, you still have other healing abilities. - QQ more about Maruader CC's, it happens to the other healers as well. - Your class has the highest aoe and heal burst compare the other 2 classes. - Where you lack instant heal, you have sprint, shield, and a pull. - Reroll or quit if it bothers you that much.

Same group of people cheering at healing nerf, are probably the same people go around attacking the tanks and dps first instead of healers I bet. Unless guarded, most healers are pretty easily destroyed if you know how to CC.

All I got from this thread: Poster 1: Wahhhh, I need new healing abilities Poster 2: No you don't Repeated for 4 pages Sages do not need any other healing abilities, unless other classes get one too. All healers experience the same thing. Being focused on, being interrupted, learning to kite or LoS. Learn how to counter or have teammates who are smart enough to protect you.

Flourish Shot reducing 20% healing for PvP, I like. Everything else is meh. Burst Volley still useless imo. For 3 points, you get a little buff once every 30 seconds......I don't know how most of you play your SS Gunslinger, but I rarely spend any of my time casting besides Aim Shot when it procs. And if it's still at the 3% speed in increase that's a 1.2 second Aim Shot instead of 1.5 seconds. Not worth 3 points, but I shall wait and see how much energy regen it increases before I decide whether to spend points on it or not.

Epic Smuggler with beer googles lol.
