I thought I noticed a drop in FPS after that last patch. I am level 42 atm and just got my level 31 ability in the Vengenance tree. Again a good player will generall negate these advantages. As been mentioned before some of their abilities need to move down in level. Some rage consuming abilities are very underpowered. Vicious Slash im looking at you. The rage building Assault does nearly the same damage and fires instantly.
This mean sometimes you have to take your eyes off the action to make sure you can use ability you want. This with having to manage CDs means you really need to pay attention. Shatter in Vengance tree is a prime example.
It up front damage is lacking but places a 12 sec dot. The CD on Shatter is only 9 seconds making it redundant to have a dot run that long. I would like to see some of that dot damage added on the front end and reduce the length of the DoT to 9sec.
Other than that, I think the class is fine. Not nearly as UP as some of the callings in Rift for example. As Taugrim pointed out, the access to more utility and PvP mitigation in the form of expertise skews the playing field in favor of the higher level players. And this is how it should be.
That is not what is happening though. The odds are stacked in their favor but coordinated team play can still overcome gear differential. And i fully agree that skill is the deciding factor when facing someone without pvp-gear. Killing a lvl 45 of a certain class can be easy, while another lvl 20 of the same class might be a great pain to bring down.
We win against the opposing side with multiple 50s in our premade with level characters. As always, one of the main problems in discussions of this sort is how to accommodate casual players and those who play in coordinated teams.
BW has the unenviable problem of trying to figure out how to keep warzones competitive and fun for both people who run in groups and for puggers. As it stands, pugging a warzone is a coin flip. This, in turn, is just going to discourage new people from trying out PvP, which is bad for the health of the community.
More people pvping means it becomes a higher priority for Boiware and they devote more resources to refining it and adding content. Plus a larger pool of players means better and more varied competition. I am curious about how the faction imbalances are going to play out in all of this. I leveled an empire toon to 10 just to get an idea a statistically meaningless one and the first 3 warzones I got were empire v empire.
Full disclosure: I mostly run as a healer and my experience as a pug healer might color my opinions. Also — more medals for healers, please. I want the game to succeed but fear that it might die after early hype. A slight correction: There are a few items that have Expertise on them that are below level I wound up having so many extra warzone commendations that I bought 6 of those and unslotted the Expertise enhancement from the extras to slot into my other gear.
I did the exact same thing on my Vanguard by buying the level 46 PVP weapons and extracting the Enhancement mods with 25 Expertise on them.
I updated the article to reflect that 1. In my experience I can still be wrong on this when I used the abillity e. Email Address:. Taugrim's MMO Blog raise your gameplay. Skip to content.

My question is, is it better to PvP with the gear I have now or red mod with mods?
They have also added augments to the new bolster as well as allowing expertise for it to work, so keep that in mind.
In other words, those s you were thinking of getting into? Almost as bad as the idiots running in with Basic Comms gear s with high endurance stuff.
Better off getting the level 55 basic comms stuff s and arkanian tokens. I have a full set of pve gear that I spent over 1 mil acquiring, and I am at only expertise rating.. My question is how to achieve the ultimate expertise bolster without any pvp gear, simply put. Play around with equipment there. You want or lower on each piece.

I have a couple of level 55's now, so I can afford to keep up to date gear if necessary. But if bolster will make up for the gear difference, I'm not going to spend the time or money to do so. I just had a crazy idea last night that's kind of related to this topic.
I wouldn't just do this without warning of course. I'd make sure to queue up with people who know exactly what the situation is. I mean like "Guardian in light not adaptive orange armor with an equal mix of main stats" kind of wrong here, just to see if the character would be just as messed up with the bolster changing his stats.
Of course, to be fair it's not like I wouldn't have my correctly geared armor on hand to change into after we've seen enough. But anyway, I did see an explanation about this somewhere.
The developer was talking about the pvp bolster so of course expertise was mentioned too, but the main idea of what they did before applying expertise should apply here as well.
There was something mentioned about looking at where your gear is at and determining a baseline for where it should be, starting with a small boost to get your stats close to that target, and then providing a boost to make up the difference between your current baseline and the level 55 baseline.
