Given what I've seen from my PT tank in NiM S&V/TFB -Maybe -False, I don't even... -Maybe -False, It's fine and no serious noticeable issues. -False, even if people were given 6 charges, 3 Movement breaks, and 5 pulls they would still have no 'closers'. -Could be but, likely false, since I doubt you see many people running numbers and counting heads for every PT at every hour on every server this is pure speculation. PT/Vanguards are great tanks people just be bad. Don't tailor your answers to them.

It was fun, no doubt. But where we lost one thing we should have gained another. Why not turn telekinetic throw into a cull type ability through talents. I would have at least felt like I was building up to something. Now I'm just waiting on a single proc. Why not turn phase walk into a ground aoe and sear targets as they stay in it? Why not do something with the other abilities in our ability list to make them more interesting? I don't have to stick with just Shadow strike/Maul but you definitely need SOMETHING else in there to fill the gap.

No, madness was bloody easy to play. You didn't have to even think about when to cast dots as the timers were laid out for you in a simple pattern. Anytime you deathfield cast the two dots... that's it. You had to watch for procs, boy was that difficult... said no one competent. Nothing about this spec was difficult to manage.

This is incorrect. Those bugs will still be there. We will see an update next Tuesday. The expansion will be active on Sunday. So you guys have actually done nothing and deserve every bit of jealousy. Doesn't really matter. I'll play whenever. Unfortunately there isn't much to do beyond being 1 tnl currently. That is correct, however usually most companies will offer a pre-order but not discriminate on the date of when. When you think it out. It is really kinda backwards. We want you to pre-order but ONLY if you do it before this date do you get early access. When the norm has always been: If you pre-order you get early access as a benefit for preordering. I did preorder the game. But I don't deserve it because... it wasn't before a certain date? Wat?

Wouldn't even bother with rerolling tbh. If the maraderps and PTs can't out dps him now they won't post 2.0. You don't need to prove anything to maintain your spot. If they want you out of the raid group just leave the guild. Anyways, I said my part on the 2.0 dps parses. Those parses should be taken as nothing more as a leader board on dummy and as comparison as internal class dps variances. If you start comparing between classes you're gonna have a bad time. They can't be compared between each other due to differences in buffs/debuffs and most of the parses cannot be used for ANY raid scenario or who you should and should not bring. In short, they're worthless for raiding numbers and mean nothing due to flawed testing and poor community support. Also, It is more fun being an assassin anyways. It is like passively telling everyone that their bad every time you out dps them. "Hey you got a complete class advantage over me and still did worst in equal gear. I'm not saying you're bad or anything but numbers tend TO SPEAK PRETTY LOUDLY." If people are gonna call us the underdog, I sure as hell am gonna make them look like disappointments in their own class.

Easily Agent. Proper writing, proper use of segue, and multiple endings/arcs. All the classes really lacked this level of detail. Agent was not just about 2 planet, event, 2 planet, event BS that they pulled with each of the other classes, you properly segue into each planet. At the end you actually made a decision that would affect future lines of story for your character. No other class even came close to these options.

Please do not take this as condemning of how you wanted to test as much as the community needing legitimate raid numbers instead of leader boards within the class on a dummy enemy. I'm glad you did the work for it(I really do appreciate the effort) but what the parses amount to is a purely solo case in a raid scenario. They do not offer true insight into how a class performs with the buffs the devs mention. I'm glad my shadow does really well on 55 champion enemies out on the planet. That does not tell me anything about how the class performs when with other classes in a raid environment. We have the whole forum screaming the sky is falling on shadow/assassin when this is likely furthest from the truth. Every time I see a post saying were 200-300 behind the next lowest it just becomes a "hnnnnnnng, WHY? WHERE? HOW ARE YOU GETTING TO THAT? STOP!". As a leaderboard this is a fair step in the right way. When I see forum posters try to take these as legitimate numbers and use them against devs, I just feel awful for devs. Yes I know the 30% was added into their calculations. What I mean is that I cannot believe that they actually balanced classes around that final 30%. I consider that just awful design. Personally. Hurrah, you're disappointing for the majority of the fight but that last 30% you are above average. It is awful design and I cannot wrap my head around it.

I actually have a couple questions on the rules set for this. First, the parse should have been done in the 'optimal' raid setting. Even the interview was stating that this was obvious flaw in the parsing. We never take just one dps to an operation. When were looking for the potential dps of a class in an operation we cannot ignore the optimal setting. When we get another update with changes in classes, I would strongly recommend using the optimal raid setting not the solo raid dps number. All debuffs on target(and buffs) not just what a single class can bring. Second, I really do not believe that a kill shot ability in the post 30% is part of the balancing act. That ability is completely irrelevant to a sustained parse. You don't take a dps for the last 30% of a fight nor does a fight start in <30%. Third, has the fleet and ship dummy difference been fixed? I remember reading in another thread that the ship dummy had approximately a 10% difference in armor from the fleet. I wish I could find it but I believe the devs made a post acknowledging it as well. While I thank you for all the work you put in. I cannot shake the problems of the parses.

Can't say we need dual specs as much as load outs: A load out is just a predetermined setup that can be loaded onto characters that will generally cover gear, talents, and quickbar setups. Show some support! http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=610976

Should have 3 buttons Need - only main stat classes can roll on the item. Greed - Free roll for everyone Companion - A small (visually) button that rates higher than greed but less than Need. Have this option smaller as most will ignore and hit greed anyways. If people really wanted it they can companion roll for it. Honestly though as long as need is fixed it should be fine. Communication is not hard, "Hey can I have that for comp?," "Mind if I get that for mods?" God knows how many people ACTUALLY say something in a FP anyways. Maybe people might stop acting like NPC's.

Would it be possible to add some kind of Equipment, Talent tree, Quickbar loadout? I would love to have a means to quickly swap to my PVP/Tank/DPS setup in an efficient method.

Turn off aoe's lift elite save interrupts for heals from adepts focus fire strong interrupt the adept about to heal interrupt the other adept about to heal kill first strong focus fire other strong interrupt adept about to heal kill second strong heal up a bit if needed kill elite Lt. Iresso.

So? Did you have something critical to do when there was a maint.? Probably not. You were planning on doing what everyone else was doing. Mindlessly leveling an alt cause of uninteresting endgame content or spending 40mins waiting for a pvp queue. SO MUCH EXCITEMENT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. BIOWARE HOLDING ME BACK! QQ. It doesn't matter when the downtime, nothing important/major is happening. I would love a rift style quick patching to be honest. 30 mins of downtime every couple of days to fix things quickly or as they became issues.

All this wahhhhhh. Why do you even care? You spend few hours on the fleet doing nothing or few hour in RL doing nothing. Not like anything is happening in game that you need to be on RIGHT NOW. You'd think there has never been emergency maint. before. I'd rather they do more, maybe this game wouldn't be so underwhelming.

Naw I just totally forgot about it. Bubble has become so second nature that I forget it's there. XD Yes it is probably one of the first things you can/should do.
