Which I read as let's nerf skank tanks, call it a day, and not address the underlying issues i.e. tank stats being total garbage in PvP and lack of Jugg/PT/Sin DPS survivability as to why skank tanks exist in the first place. A straight nerf to skank tanks will mean 3 less AC's that are Ranked viable at a time when you already have less than a quarter of specs being Ranked capable.

Also incoming whining about Izax rewards being VM only...

Maybe I'm blind/dumb, but where do they mention nerfing skank tanks? My love for my PvP sin is like the only unique thing that keeps me coming back to this game... I really hope they don't screw it up. What are they talking about doing?

Not in the roadmap, but in the thread post here.

Yup! 5.9 actually has some Utility changes for various classes and some changes planned to address "skank tanks" in PvP. We will share details on that closer to 5.8 going out the door.

Then it wasn't the only time the term came up. Gigglesquee was also used by a Bioware dev to describe Sera in DAI.

People remember it in so many different ways. The actual context of the comment is that the writer for Merrill in DA2 (Mary Kirby) showed the dialogue to someone else on the writing team (Sheryl Chee) and they thought it was cute:

Merrill (in-game): (something unbelievably cute)
Sheryl: GIGGLESQUEE!!!!! SO CUTE!!!
Mary: Hee hee.
Sheryl: She's so adorable I love her and want to hug her omgIcan'tbelievehowadorablesheisCAN-I-NOM-HER-HEAD?!
Mary: ... No.

I mean, I don't know what the deep background of that who she is or what horrible poo poo assholes made fun of her with down the road, but taken totally in isolation "GIGGLE SQUEE CAN I NOM NOM HER HEAD" is pretty worth mocking on its own merits.

The 'LOL stole their pants' line pretty much guaranteed permanent benching with me and I was told repeatedly on the Bioware forums that I really needed to give Sera a try because she gets better later on. I watched clips on Youtube and no she doesn't, and the romance with her is pretty abusive along with a carpet munching comment more suited for a preteen boy writing a lesbian character rather than seasoned writers..

Best deal if you are good with subbing for 90 days is through Amazon (assuming you're US), same price as subbing through the site with a few extra perks (extra cartel coins)

Second best is for 60 days Origin which is again, same price as subbing through the site but comes with extra cartel coins and a mount.

Speaking of Mr. Tracer Missile, does anyone have the custom avatar picture he had before he got banned? It was a fat dude hunched over with a goofy-rear end grin and it made me laugh harder than anything else ever on the forums. I'm not sure what's so special about it but it's magical to me

The new Ravage animation is definitely mediocre but mechanically it’s one of the best changes BW has made. It totally transformed Warrior play.

I love destroying fotm Mercs on my Marauder. You can feel the panic as they try to keyboard turn and hard cast Tracer while I dance around with all instant attacks.

Once you become the king you stay the king until somebody knocks you off. If Maras were more noob friendly and/or skanks easier to gear they'd be wearing the crown.

But yes, technically Mercs have been overpowered for more than thirty (30) days.



My Mara will definitely be dual'ing these. Vented sabers can gtfo.
