We are now starting the third season of the chosen few with virtually no significant balance tweaks...and some of you wonder why the queues are off, lol. I quit doing ranked about 2 weeks into season 4 and haven't bothered since, see no reason to try now and i dont have any desire to play the FOTM. Though at this point i guess FOTYear is more appropriate.

I'll play my "1 hour" of game time, lol, each month if the story is worth it, maybe some regs, and the rest of the time ill be entertaining a new mistress in GW2.

All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

Yeah I know how you feel man, Merc/Mando dps is so overpowered. You'd think they would have fixed this garbage by now. We all literally have to focus them immediately in every warzone just so they dont nuke the entire group or net the healer.

Never do we get to try out different strategies, always forced into the same targeting of commandos to stop their OP'ness.

I re-rolled a Sage and realized how horrible mando is. The sage can literrally do everything a Mando can, but at the same time put up 500k heals and can easily break contact with their bubble.

TLDR: Just delete your mando like I did.

The most irritating part is that its truly pointless to even make suggestions anymore...
They are obviously completely aware, they would have to be utterly ignorant to not be about the problems the bottom tier of classes are facing.
There is little point to making positive suggestions as they don't listen anyway based on today's changes going live with the out of line cost on our "spammable" heal that really isn't spammable and totally out of line in comparison to other classes heals in terms of cost.
I guess for me this was the final straw, i wont be forced into playing classes i don't enjoy so... time to invest elsewhere i guess

You are absolutely right, i have a sage and a sorc in full pvp and can put up stupid numbers barely knowing what im doing. I play the merc/mando cause i enjoy their place in the lore and basically find all force user hypocrites and predictable in the story and such.

For me it comes down to this... do i want to play another class, or another game. On principal alone i don't want to be forced to play something i don't really want to play. I mean i can understand one season of classes being OP, thats typical in these games, but 3? freaking three? unacceptable.

With what they are giving us, or more directly NOT giving us with the expansion, i made the decision to look at other games as this wont wont hold my attention for very long each month at this point... i game a lot, its my escape from a stressful reality, and their "1 hour" of game play for story with no new ops/pvp/other content is like barely a Sat afternoon for me

Meh, it is what it is, but my time will be far less in this game for both pvp and pve reasons going forward

You're practically the face of Mandos IMO. If you deleted yours...that's bad.

At least they moved the sin DoT spread from death field to whatever that melee AOE ability is called. Seems like that will have some effect. But yeah, I think everybody knows how far behind the pack Merc/Mando is in terms of 4v4 survivability.

I'm going to try and focus on mara/sent this season. At least they have a chance. Merc/Mando is impossible in 4v4. I like playing mine in regs, but forget solo ranked.
