Does anyone have or can post a link to a hybrid, AP, and a Pyro parse from the PTS? All three should be around 3K for them to be competitive.

It's simple - if a dps is healing in a raid - they will not meet the DPS mark. If a DPS is trying to be a tank in a raid - he will be instantly removed . This game has only three Roles - TANK, DPS, HEALER - there is no hybrid role - no support role - there is no raid encounter that requires dps to off-heal or off- tank or off-anything. As it stand snipers and marauders bring more utility then these so called support dps/healers do. Also some advice, if you're asking/making your dps off-heal or off-tank - I suggest you replace your tank and healer because they fail at playing star wars.

Why should Sorcs sacrifice anything - when we have operative dps dominating and we all know how hard they are to take down. How bout those Assassins and Powertechs as well - Jugg DPS is superior to these dps/tank classes as well. How bout - instead of sacrificing - we even out the playing field - and see who the better player is.

And Bioware is about to repeat that mistake.

This game isn't balanced for PVE. To many classes/specs are under performing.

Tie Taunts to stance - other abilities can also be made to work differently depending on the stance/cell used.

Hows your NM progression going with dps assassins and sorcs. Post your videos please.

In Progression Raids, you bring the best - you don't bring subpar classes. If a DPS class it not able to compete with another DPS class - then that class is done. Same applies to tanking and healing. Hybrid tax has no place in this game, if you're worried that the class off spec is going to be too strong in healing and tanking while dpsing in pvp - here is an easy fix. As you choose talents in each tree - they have a negative effect. For example a talent that enhances a dps ability would hinder a tanking ability or heal ability to the point that spending a GCD to heal or taunt would be so small that it would detrimental to use.

None of this addresses the DPS problems facing AP and Pyro. Unless these specs are capable of pulling around 3200+ dps - Marauders (3221.21) and Snipers (3265.68-3629.42) will be the better choice - especially with the utility they bring. Sadly, we had to remove a PT DPS from our raid roster - since he kept trying to taunt and change cells to shield the other dps in the raid - the only thing that succeeded in doing was wiping the raid and lowering his dps even further. Also, I can't wait to see the buffs you have waiting for Assassins/Shadows - they better be substantial for all three specs.

Can we get a response as to why these were taken out? Doesn't make sense since they have existed in previous events and were on the PTS.

Would like to see this armor added to the game and have body tattoo's added as a customization option for characters. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h162/Eshikia/DSCN0215.jpg http://www.toychestnews.com/catalogimages/STK_IMAGES/STK440001-460000/STK440316.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k195/sparhawk71/darthTalon02.jpg Version with Cape http://www.predatorstuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/blog_darthtalonreview02.jpg http://www.mwctoys.com/images/review_talon_6.jpg

Since - you posted - you kinda showed that you do care.

Is heatseeker missile broken? Don't think I saw a single one crit for over 3k. Heck my marauder in recruit gear hit harder then that and that was some time ago and now I'm pulling 5-7k crits.

Powertechs and Marauders do better though.

Commando/Mercenary - Arsenal/Pyro - by far the worse AC when it comes to PVP Tactics/Advanced Prototype Vanguard/Powertech - Flamethrower is buggy in PVE/PVP - needs to be made a viable alternative. Shield Specialist/Shield Tech Vanguard/Powertech - needs defensive utilities - shield and kolto are laughable
