Class changes for 5.6. Mostly decent. The Mara changes will lower the floor on the hardest spec but lower it's ceiling as well. Mando defensives about a 30% nerf overall. PT and Sin for Ranked are now Tank or gtfo. Lol at the Sorc defensive changes though. If you want to fix Sorc defensives it's simple: for Madness have Barrier heal ~5% per second, for Lightning have Phase Walk reset the cd on Unnatural Preservation. Change Corrupted Barrier to remove redundancies.

Medullah posted:People are raising hell about the Carnage changes, and I get it - but let's be honest, the amount of people that take advantage of clipping are outweighed by the number of people that may give Carnage a try with it dumbed down a bit. Yeah for like 2% of PvE'ers it's a dps loss, for everyone else and PvP it's a wash. You lose the potential of a third attack but don't have to worry about CC or losing your target. This was a change I proposed like two years ago when asked what I'd change. quote:Mercenary defensives are still going to be pretty strong, but that's a good start. As long as people keep hitting them when they have energy shield up they'll still have an advantage. The reflect is still dumb but at least Mando defenses aren't quite as fire-and-forget anymore. They've got low mobility so they're easy to los, it just gets to be a slog when you have 2+ of 'em sitting on an objective.

Medullah posted:There's been word that they're adding a new level 70 Token that can be used on any character to instantly level them to 70 without losing quest status, that'll be nice! Now this is something I would definitely use. Get done with capital planet, zip to 70, and finish the story at my leisure in-between queue pops. Also handy for when the invariably bring back Kira, Ashara, Nadia, et al and I've been running around the galaxy with Lana in the meantime. What would be really neat is to be able to go back to the starter planet and reset the class missions on an established character.

heh I'm just the opposite I've got absolutely no problem deleting any character except my Shadow and Sorc who are my title/pet/etc whores. I've always had a handful of PvP chars otherwise just delete 'em when they get to max lvl and start again. I've slowed down in 5.0 though since I don't want to delete GC 300 chars and lowbie PvP is dead. I've now got 12 chars at GC 300 with 4 more to go to have one of each AC both Imp and Pub. Also you forgot the Ranked flairs.

Medullah posted:It's especially bad because I was playing with some people on Shadowlands off and on since TNG has been largely dead, so I had 3 or 4 characters that were exact duplicates of my characters on JC (same names, look, etc). Now with the merges I have quite a few characters there's no need to use at all anymore. I think I'm going to shuffle the clones off to Hot Satele while transfers are cheap, I have a few friends that play off and on there. lol the Mara I'm lvling now I've deleted and restarted twice now when he was above lvl 40. The first time I wanted to change his look and the second I wanted to change my decision to spare Yonlach on Tatooine. Of course it helps that I absolutely love the Warrior story...it's like a classic movie I can watch over and over.

Medullah posted:new ones that only drop in Master Mode Operations and GC crates, and another from PVP. Sounds good I've got 3 248 Tanks and 3 248 Healers to grind MM's, the already mentioned ~1200ish crates, and lol at PvP gating anything for me. If they use the current Grade 10 mats I've got like 2000 Isotopes and ~250 each of Resource Matrices and VMC's. A new tier of gear always gets me excited, especially Augments since Bolster ignores them so they're a straight up power increase.

Bilirubin posted:Bolster owns. Makes jumping into PvP every now and then without having the gear grind fun for a PvE primary player. Getting nearly insta'd when facing uber PvP geared nerds sucked. It's a good change for PvP'ers too...I no longer have to worry about crystal-geared goobers who have twice the HP but die in twice as fewer hits. If you have sub-242 gear, no Set Bonus, and no Augments you're still talking about a ~25% discrepancy in power though. Edit: when compared to a fully Augmented 248 character.

Medullah posted:The only current rare mat they use is Iokath Recombinators. With 1200 crates you'll have to let me know how many of the new mats you get. 1180 crates got me 7200 UC's, 18 Encrypted Memory Cores, and 36 Charged Matter Transomethinganothers. Enough for 7 Augments, didn't expect them to be that rare. Haven't 100% crunched the numbers but even with my headstart I figure a month to kit out my Sorc, much less if you get a Memory Core every MM FP. I've also now got more Command Boosts than I know what to do with and over 10,000 Command Tokens with nothing to spend them on. Also hallelujah you can now just pick Planetary Missions from a list.

hmm I was mistaken and thought the new Augments cost 2 Memory Cores and 4 Matter Transwhatsits but it's 1 and 2 so I had enough from my initial crate opening to craft a full set for my Sorc. Also I may have just gotten unlucky on my drop rates (0.01% for Cores and 0.04% for Transwhatsits) cause I opened up 20 crates on a char working toward 300 this morning and got 2 Cores and 3 Transwhatsits. No Overkill so I replaced with Versatile. Either an oversight from lolBioware or they're trying to streamline gearing and get rid of the Power vs Mastery debate, which would be funny considering crafting is getting more and more byzantine.

Medullah posted:I'm lost on stats. The great Alacrity debate that was posted a month or so ago showing that it's pointless to go above 800 unless you're going REALLY high like 1500 flipped my brain, and I'm still not 100% sure what augs to craft. I haven't used Power or Mastery since 4.0, but I'm thinking it's time to go back to them. Before the new augments I ran 4913 Power, 1863 Crit, and 1155 Alac on my Corruption Sorc. That's 6 Crit and 8 Overkill augs and puts me at just shy of 50% Crit and 10.5% Alac. I would dump the Alac for Power in heartbeat except nowadays you're forced to take around 500 Alac if you care about DR, so ~10% i.e. an even 0.15 seconds off the GCD is a good minimum I feel. I've thought about dropping an Alac enhancement for Crit and switching two Crit augments for Overkill but meh what's 1%. If I were playing a DoT-based AC or an AC with strict energy management like Bodyguard I'd shoot for ~1600 Alac.

Turbl posted:Yeah that's for GCD reduction. It's something like the way it's calculated will round down when determining GCD. So if you have alacrity that's between 800 and 1600 or whatever it is effectively the same as just having 800, which is important for melee classes to know because that's about all they care about reducing (except for DoTs). Casted stuff doesn't have the same problem. Yeah 1155 puts my force regen at 8.86 which the game rounds up to 8.9 while ~800 would put me at 8.63 which the game rounds down to 8.6. It also gives me a better return on my Innervate channel time. The 800 thing is good to know on the Mara I just got to 70 though.

Medullah posted:Hey DrunkenGarbageCan, has your Sorc healer felt a bit more invincible lately? Yep I figured it out (the what not the why) my second WZ when I broke my personal HPS record. It was obvious when I looked at a parse. The best part of this bug is it works on yourself - put Resurgence/Revivication on yourself for a 170% Unnatural Preservation. Add on the +30% heal and 5 second CD reduction Utilities and I’ve got a 70% heal every 25 seconds. It makes Arenas a joke.

Medullah posted:So DrunkenGarbageCan, what's the word on the new Augments? Assuming you've hit your Accuracy and Critical goals, with the current Alacrity debate going on, what to Augment? Mastery or Power? I'm running 6 Crit and 8 Versatile of the Superior Augments where previously I was running 6 Crit and 8 Overkill. I lose 462 Power (~106 bonus damage) but gain 784 Mastery (~156 bonus damage) while my Crit and Alac values stay the same ~1860 and 1155 respectively. I'd prefer Power to Mastery (+15% bonus damage per point) but there are no Overkill Superior Augments. I'm biased against Alac cause it's a PvE stat that's about DPS and long, drawn out fights rather than the burst and hopping from one quick fight to another of PvP.

Eltoasto posted:I started some pvp matches for the first time in a long time in SWTOR, and I like how my shadow gets close to a sniper and then they roll away while rooting me and dropping a fire bomb. I get out of it and catch back up to them and they roll away and leave behind another fire bomb. I take it melee just shouldn't bother with them? Yes Sniper is a hard counter to Sins and Juggs. DPS Sins rely on CC which a smart Sniper is immune to the majority of time, Snipers do a lot of weapon damage that'll bypass your best DCD in Shroud, and they can spam roots/slows faster than you can counter, especially Engineering which is the spec you're describing. A good Fury Mara will eat a Sniper alive.

Their cover immunity utilities are frustrating as hell. Which is good I suppose, since they had a good long stretch of shittiness. Snipers are a tactical AC that requires tactics to beat. Unfortunately most DPS are face-tanking tunneling baddies who think running in a straight line towards a Sniper is a viable strategy. Snipers do have their weakness though...no real self-heals and lots of casts. DoT 'em up and go hide. Madness, IO, and Lethality are hard counters. On my Corruption Sorc I always cast Affliction on any and all Snipers on the opposing team. They're relatively immobile as well so they can be separated out fairly easily.
