Thread: The New Combat System
From what I gather on the boards the new combat system will not drain fromyour HAM pool so you'll have 900 of 1k health, but willdrain your HAM pools so that you will have 900 out of 900 health. Is this correct? Also I figure that everyone will just be perma-buffed now. I really don't know what to make of this, but I hope we come out on the top. Anyone have any suggestions for how I should migrate my stats, and will the mind pool even play an important role anymore in PvP? Thanks for the help, and please discuss.
*Note* I have almost all of my stat points migrated into mind. It seems to work very well for me.
i dont have the link offhand but one of TH's recent posts said something about the proposed HAM-cost system that you mention was scrapped or pushed back for now. i only skimmed over the post so im not going to try to paraphrase the reasons why, im sure they are obvious enough.
anyway if you want to see for yourself its around these forums somewhere.
All I know is I like combat as it is because you can use buffs to spam anything you want at will. If they make it so some unbuffable 'mana pool' defines your actions I'll be disappointed.

It's being released bit by bit from what I understand - and from what I'v read up on it I think it's looking good.
Many people however don't share my thoughts - What are the problems with it then?
It's human nature to fear the unknown, that's all. Not enough pure facts have been publicly release for people to make informed decisions yet. They are speculating about the possible results, and are allowing themselves to get worked up.
So far, what I have seen and heard, the results all look positive. The end results will require a bit of adjustment for everyone, but will turn out for the better. 
do you have any idea when the release is suppose to hit?

er, well I'm not sure when the full thing will be released actually.. hell I can't even give a estimate - only thing I know is; is that they have started to change the combat system.
Phase 1: Creature Rebalance; has already been released to live servers.
Phase 2: Weapons Rebalance: is still in development.
Phase 3: HAM System; was tested breifly on TC, but was recalled for adjustment.
Phase 4: Profession Rebalance: is still in development.
They are making a new combat system.... (see what happenss when you waste your time on the jedi forums. When you realize that all the posts are more or less the same, you come back and you missed all the good news...)
