Thread: Petition: Get rid of bleeds and replace them with another special!
Bleeds have been nerfed cus they were too powerful and exploitable for Hit and run tactics. Hopefully this should prove to be an improvement in PvP but has been one of our main sources of damage and now we are left short.
I dont think we'll see any state change specials or anything of that sort, simply because they are nerfing the TK with KD / Dizzy because they become overpowerful with it. Ive heard that the devs want to make it so that no profession can KD at all.
The only other thing I can see which will aid our profession would be a HUGE damage increase. Maybe, like with the TKA we need a 'damage boost'. TKA's get a +250 damage at Master, maybe we should also see an increasing scale of addional damage, maybe to a point of +500 dmg at Master to represent the huge damage we can inflict and to also compensate for the loss of powerful bleeds.
To be honest with ya, I dont see the point of petitions. The only answer we'll get is 'Wait till the combat balance' since any action from the devs would make people think that we are jumping the gun and its unfair on them.
Gabe has let them know, and the devs know the situation, but to be honest, we'll be lucky to see anything before publish 9 since the next two are dedicated to the Droid revamp.
