Somebody has to be the most paper class in the game. Can you think of anyone it would suit more? Although I agree, they were defensively gutted.

Pruning abilities you never click isn't pruning anything. It removes button bloat, but it doesn't prune things. Consolidating duplicate abilities is better (Instead of having an ability that generates 1 resource and a short-cooldown ability that generates 4 resource, remove the 4 resource and buff the other to 2 resource generation, for example) I hope how you can see that removing abilities that you never use anyways isn't going to net real changes, except button bloat. While they should get rid of them, there is still a lot of actual pruning to do in this game.

Having the Raid buffs be a choice just needs to go away. That will clearly be a problem in the future, so just get rid of it now. Make it baseline. Putting Useful abilities in a row does not inherently make it a 'meaningful choice'; that seems to be the line of thinking, but it's false.

Feel free to hire me to fix your "over whleming" typos. It's no surprise that people are loving the AoE Resurgence. It's op in the live-state of the game. Not sure how it will be after all this, but man oh man is it nice to have and strong. It looks like it's healing the Base Heal PER TICK, instead of the hot portion tho. First-boosted is 1700 a tick... for 15 seconds. Or something? ALSO Fix your variance. My goodness. Why does a Heal that has a max heal of 8k have a variance of 3k? (5k-8k) Like, what?! It can basically crit within itself... That should not exist.

I feel like any of the "causes to tick" ones make sense to keep, for dot classes.

To be fair, AST complaints weren't that they dumbed the system down (though it was definitely more fun before); they changed it from offering utility to offering RDPS 2/4% or MDPS 2/4% damage (instead of Mana Regen, or TP Regen (Gone), or Damage etc and then being able to Double Duration/Potency/AoE it); it was a lot more than just 'cutting it down' - it changed the complete ability purpose. It's not pruning, it was a complete change of a core part of the job for people.

What, no requests for more Lekku styles? SWG rocked the Lekku choices

1. I'm a new sub, so take this for what it's worth. I didn't start because of Steam (didn't even realize it wasn't on steam before) - I was just looking for a new MMO again and figured I'd give this a shot after hating it a few years ago and not getting past level 10... 2. The posts in here about what >I< should get, what >Loyal Subs< should get... . just... Entitlement to the extremeeeeeeeeeeee. Like, get off the high horse. You're not special cuz you subbed longer than other people. Your loyalty is cute, but you're a drop in the bucket. Your 15 bucks over 9 years is 1600 bucks. There are probably people who have been playing this game for a week who have spent more in the Cartel shop than that. Get over yourselves. 3. The ONLY thing about Shae that is frustrating is googling "best companion" and seeing everyone say BEST DPS: Shae only to find out you haven't been able to get her for years. 4. Give like 10 days of free game time or something to a sub if they already have a sub reward xD
