Mother trucker, only bad thing about the transfers is the name issue...
Madness is pretty fun, but I really don't like playing melee. There is a guy that puts up good numbers with it in my raid group.
Pretty sure he's one of The Turks too, if I'm not mistaken. Been in a couple WZ's with him.

Read something like if you kill it 3 times you have to log out and back in for it to start dropping again.
Either way you get nerfed!
Pure DPS or Heals/DPS? Ranged or melee? I really like playing a sniper(gunslinger), but scoundrels are great healers if you are more into that.
Don't they keep buffing Gunslingers, actually?
Hybrid spec is all but gone for PVP, still great DPS(if played right) just extremely squishy. Healers are okay, so long as they're geared properly, but at the moment that pretty much holds true for almost all the classes.

I have no idea what to do with my Commando. 
The class got so fucked, and it wasn't even anywhere being OP in my opinion. Sure, Grav Spamming in PVP was annoying, but it was so easy to shut down... Plus the whole fucking tree basically revolved around grav round in order to set up everything else. Basically bottom of the barrel class, in both specs. Heals they're no where near as godly as a Scoundrel healer and DPS wise, well it's just pathetic in PVP.
On the bright side they have by far the best looking War Hero set. They actually look like troopers instead of a cheap knockoff power ranger toy like my Sentinel. :/

As requested:
Hey do you have a sage alt named Jainia or something? I saw one a bunch earlier and figured it was you.
I saw that too. My Sage alt is Jai'na though.

Try the pyro equivalent for commando? I switched my merc to it and its much more fun than tracer spam. Watching some pvp vids for it and they put up dece #s
Are you talking only about PVP?
In PVE the Sage (or Sorc) still does not have a class that comes remotely close to the heals and overall utility.
Running all sage/sorc healers would still be the ideal choice which is just poor design by Bioware that this is still the case
The reaming of my BH healer and shit like (the question was about smart heals) :
Your sage will get a purdy huge AOE heal that will do up to 8 people.
I benched my BH, made a sorc and never looked back
I tried Pyro but it just doesn't have anywhere near the burst killing power of an Assault Vanguard. The numbers are just kinda of padded with no real killing power. If that makes any sense.
Yeah sorry, PVP. I sort of figured that's what he meant when talking about an OP class.
Problem with Assault is that the tree works better for Pyros/Vanguards, playing that spec makes you want to reroll into a pyro/guard (at least for me).
Yeah... I'm hoping it might some day be brought up to the level of a Vanguard, kind of how they did with the Focus shared tree for Guardians and Sentinels. But I'm expecting way too much.
Well they did buff Target Lock a ton, going from 3 accuracy rating to 30% armor pen on high impact bolt and full auto. But I'm not sure it's enough, game punishes cast times a bit too much overcome it.
They are giving it some armor penetration in 1.3 to help close the gap. That said, Pyro Mercs still do far more damage in PvP than they do in Arsenal. In PvE, though, I never see anything but Arsenal Mercenaries. The armor debuff is hugely useful to raid groups.
Gunslinger: once you get to level 50, spec Sharpshooter, grind out to full Battlemaster gear, and get the rotation down so pat that you don't need to think about it, you are an unstoppable force of nature. And, as DPS go, very durable and hard to kill too. Leveling up you will die a lot, just like any other DPS. You're a sitting duck caster class, and if you get knocked down out of cover, you are going to die.
Scoundrel: takes an extremely high skill level to play, fussy, but has an impressive set of tools. Easy to level in PvE due to stealth, painfully bad to level in PvP. Still has some very powerful hybrid builds: Sawbones/Dirty Fighting work very well together. Keep your heal over time on yourself proc'ing Upper Hand regularly, and Blaster Volley everything in sight for a billion.

Would disagree, currently I beleive the best combination to have for end game ops is a Sorc healer for the AOE's and as you said utility and an OP healer for extreme spike damage/ survivability and general healing to a mobile group.
Toth and Zorn the DPS are spread out plus when the melee are following their guy around its best to have the OP healer on them, for the tanks the healer running on the ground should definetly be the OP healer as they can drop their probes to heal while being mobile and dodging spikes and missiles.
Jarg and Sorno is much easier with an Op healer as well due to the fact that the tanks take a lot of high spike damage in this fight and you have the death from aboves raining down meaning its good to have mobility, list goes on.
Merc healers do seem especially poor at the moment so I can see why you benched yours

Transferred to Red Eclipse last week, and the change is... startling. I can PvP when I want (not just when the 8-12 regulars on the Imp side want to). Fleet is packed. GTN is actually useful. It's like SWTOR, but an MMO. It's all pretty good.
The *standard* of PvP on Red Eclipse is now terrible though. On the one hand this is good, because when I go in a premade with 2-3 others from my guild we can usually force a win (there are a few good teams on the 'pub side too, a couple from our server). On the other hand it's bad because I'm fairly often stuck with a PUG who don't know what expertise is, or which way to hold a blaster.
The forced name change was awesome, because I'm a healer and I no longer spend the entire match being focused by the same two sentinels.
Secretly pleased that the brutality of PvP on our dead server has paid off.

CR for me, let's see how many names I get to keep

Hmm. Looks like Red Eclipse it where they want it then, since PvE English EU servers are now going elsewhere.
Which kind of makes sense. One of reasons Fatman was so big was because a lot of them were rerolls. Once people got transfers I'd wager a lot of them returned to their old toons.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Oh wow, really? It explicitly says on the transfer page that you need an active account. that's good to know, I'll pass it along to some of my anchorhead buddies who no longer have active subs just in case they ever come back and want to play in P5.

Yea players with no active sub have been able to transfer according to the account pages.

Well, moved over to Drooga's Pleasure Barge from Hyperspace Cannon. If you're there, look me up. I'm Da'ru on Republic Side. We also have a casual raiding guild "Droids You're Looking For" if anybody is looking for a new home. We have openings for Healers, Tanks and even a DPS or two at the moment. Cleared all of EV & KP HM, half of KP NMM, and all of EC Story.
It's 8 seconds, but it's a blind that breaks on damage. Marauders get an actual AoE stun.
Enosh
Member
Yeah. On VS it's deadly.
How does Intimidating Roar stun you as well? I must be missing something you are referring to here...but Tarazet, the marauder/jugg AOE stun also breaks on damage (unless there's a talent I don't know about)
Enosh was talking about force choke. I think there's something buggy about the intimidating roar animation (crying on the ground) that makes it so the player isn't as responsive coming back from that as compared to the other aoe blinds. I haven't pvped since 1.1 though so they probably fixed that problem.
Enosh
Member
it doesn't, but it isn't a stun either...
it's a maze, just like the blind he was talking about
as a further point I gave an example of a stun we do have and the drawback to it
StudioTan
Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Well, started the big move to Corellian Run. Lost only 1 of my names despite not having any characters saved there so it's not so bad. Being the guild master means I have a fair bit of work ahead of me but it was nice seeing almost 200 people on the fleet in the middle of the afternoon and over 100 (!) people PVPing. The most I ever saw at any time on Sith Wyrm was 3 matches going on.
