Dear Bioware & the community,
I am not a regular poster or reader of the forums but having read the proposed changes I feel I must comment. The main changes are as follows:
Change 1 - Dark Charge now generates 100% additional threat while active. The healing generated from this ability has been reduced by approximately 50%. Its armor bonus has been reduced to 115% (down from 150%).
Change 2 - Harnessed Darkness: The healing generated by Force Lightning has been reduced to 8% total (down from 12%).
I play a 100% PVE tank for my Operation Group currently progressing in EC HM, IMHO the changes on the PTS will destroy my ability to play my part in the Operation Group. Please Bioware DO NOT implement these changes, they are simply bad as a whole and don't address the issues with DPS gear wearing Darkness Assassins in PvP.
My suggested changes to be tested would be:
Change 1 - Dark Charge now generates 100% additional threat while active. The healing generated from this ability has been REMOVED. Its armor bonus HAS BEEN INCREASED TO 170% HOWEVER WHILE DARK CHARGE IS ACTIVE THE ASSASSIN CANNOT CRITICAL HIT.
Change 2 - Harnessed Darkness: The healing generated by Force Lightning has been REMOVED.
Once again, please rethink the proposed changes, they are simply gamebreaking and will force people to leave the game, I certainly will, not interested in playing another class in Operations.
