Iron Tusk posted:That kind of sums up why they pulled it. I think the official reason was "not very fun". So maybe if it comes back it will be interesting. Somehow I doubt that in the true cosmic scale, Exile PvE matches up perfectly to Dominion PvP. Literally, every time one gains a vote, the other gains a vote.

They should invent captcha for the polls. Either way that poll has me shaken, I might roll with the lovely exile PvP guild now. Because I don't care at all about faction "ideology" I just want there to be people to kill. EDIT: If only the dominion were all ugly this wouldn't be an issue.

As the actual guild leader(he is my lackey) I can assure you that I have the required Griefing credentials. As an example, my alt warrior on Mal'ganis was named Twatmur. I camped a unfortunate soul for an hour that he reported my name and I had to change it to Tstorm. RIP Twatmur.

I think chua is the only race's run/jog animation I like so far. Fem granok, mechari and mordesh look stupid and feel really slow to boot. I'm guessing the other races are better if only because they're tinier but I'm not really interested in rolling any of them.

Windchilla posted:If you're planning on PvPing I'll tell you that killing a Spellslinger is WAY easier for me as a Warrior or Stalker than killing a Medic. Spellslinger has more mobility, but less area denial and they seem a lot more squishy. Medic can't so much escape the meleers, but they heal through the damage very well and can put down some damage/snare of their own in large patches of ground. I'm more worried about PvE content. Medic looks like it could play a part in healing a raid, but in a dungeon I'm worried that it would be like trying to heal a wow dungeon with nothing but healing rain, which sounds kind of awful.

flipoff posted:What about medic healing turned you off? I'm going back and forth about rolling a medic or a spellslinger, so I'm interested to hear the pros and cons of both. If your group doesn't specifically cater to your T-rex armed healing style they will end up seriously dead. Typically in previous MMOs, telling your group they have to play differently because you heal a certain way has not gone well (monks in heroic 10-mans). People in this thread have compared medic healing to herding cats, but it's really herding ping pong balls that bounce around in every direction and then blame -you- when they die. Having zero targeted heals means that your tank can gently caress himself over large by running away from you when in his mind he was just dodging red, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it except watch him die. You'll want a few of them in raids if they keep their throughput-heavy melee-healing niche, but their only smart heal is super-weak and their targeted heals don't exist, so the heavy lifting job of stabilizing people that are low is going to have to be done by someone else. Having high throughput means less people will be low in the first place, but unless you make your ranged group up to cater to their T-rex arms they can't hit everyone. In terms of raiding they remind me of EQ1 shamans; they can heal and they have an important role, but they can't heal a raid by themselves and you wouldn't want to stack them. If you're interested in medic I would suggest taking it to 15 and trying out healing with it. If you can watch your tank dodge-roll out of your crisis wave, then do it again, then watch him die because you have no Chi, if after all that you still want to play a medic I say go for it. For me it felt too powerless; there were no badass moments of saving the group and hitting big numbers, no ability to plan ahead when you can't predict who will eat the red (or whether the person will even be in range), no special tricks to change your playstyle (though I was low level, I don't know if this opens up more) - it was all chasing ping pong balls around and playing catch-up. I've done a lot of healing since I started raiding in 2000 and medics turned me off in a way no other healing class ever has.

Regarding the Exile PvP guild thing: You guys are saying the words "CV" and "credentials" a lot, talking about raiding schedules or whatever, and I am a filthy casual. My only likely contributions would be 5-man content, crafting help or whatever, and my charming, witty dialogue. Would your guild destroy my life?

It has the potential to destroy your life if you choose to let it. Some of us will raid, some won't. I can assure you all of us will be doing PvP for sure. I can tell you for sure that we will have a raid group doing 20's and 40's though.

Would Spellslinger or Esper require more finesse in healing, you think? I'm torn between the classes but Esper feels really easy when it comes to healing, almost identical to WoW, and I haven't been able to do much group stuff on my 'Slinger.

flipoff posted:That pretty much confirms my doubts on them, think I'll start as spellslinger. To play Devil's Advocate, if you're a good Medic, you should do absolutely fine. Bad players will die, yes, but it's not really any different than any other classes. Bad players will just die sometimes. An example that Ad by Khad gave was about your tank rolling out your Crisis Waves to dodge telegraphs is kind of true, but this also can be prevented in multiple ways: 1) Not casting your Crisis Wave or other "oh poo poo" heals during moments where movement is key. - Nothing you can do will ever make up for someone with lovely movement. If you want to get to the level of raiding or high-tier PvP, then someone that has poor movement is a bad player, whether it's a tank, or a DPS. Trying to heal someone through a telegraph when they were fully capable of dodging it will only put more stress on you and, in general, lead you to running out of Focus before the encounter ends. 2) Casting your Crisis Wave during these moments, but with the expectation of having to adjust. - Players are usually pretty predictable with where they move with standard PvE telegraphs, if they're dodging them appropriately. If you stagger your cast appropriately, with the time it takes to charge up Crisis Wave, you have two options to adjust: Follow the tank, which is easy through a dodge roll, or cancel your cast with either Esc / a Dodge Roll to save the Actuators, then begin casting it again. 3) Medics are the only class to have shield heals. At least two of them are near-instant casts. I'm not sure about Shield Surge, but I think it's a quick cast too, making it a lot more reliable to land your heals. The reason why this works is that Medics give an additional 25-50% shield deflection rating, meaning that less damage hits the HP bar. Proper rotations of shield heals and HP heals will give you plenty of time to react to anything.

I saw that poll in the very early stages (around 1k votes total), before anyone started vote bombing it and messing it all up. It was running about 30-31% Exile PVE 25% Exile PVP 24-25% Dominion PVP 20-21% Dominion PVE Which fit with my own guess on server pops. PVE skewed pretty heavily Exile, PVP near even.

flipoff posted:That pretty much confirms my doubts on them, think I'll start as spellslinger. I absolutely hated healing as a Spellslinger, and that was at 22 in the 18-to-queue dungeon. Part of that was because they were extremely weak at the time... and they lacked a lot of things still by that level... but it rather soured me on it. At the time, its only big heal required standing still for a long period of time to cast it. I think that has changed. I'm more of a Tank/DPS player anyway.

DAD LOST MY IPOD Something Awful Forums Noted griefer, bane of casuals, and ganking enthusiast. Special skills: taunting pubbies in three languages, bubblehearthing directly after pulling the first boss, playing a Warlock World of Warcraft (September 2005-September 2010) Duties included luring new players into Stranglethorn Arena, venturing into the starting zones and asking for help summoning an Infernal, kiting the flight master three zones away, and camping Hogger. SW:TOR (December 2011-March 2012) Duties included parking on vendors in a gigantic speeder, playing with Towers of Hanoi panels in Karagga's Palace, and Huttball as a Bounty Hunter. Also it sounds like Spellslinger healing isn't that great either? How are Espers?

You (yes you, Pergo goons) are going to have bad players in your 40-mans. You are going to have bad players in your 5-mans, at least occasionally. Even if you make sure to only group with superstars and never touch the group finder, your deadweight raiders still need attunements from 5s. If your response is just a flat-out "I don't heal avoidable telegraphs, get better you bad player", you're going to run into trouble sometimes. You need those ping pong balls to kill the boss. It's entirely possible that medic healing will click with you and you'll like it and it'll work out fine. But it's very much a different style and it relies on your group being willing to work with your T-rex arm limitation. When I'm healing, I don't want crippling limitations.
