Thread: Everyone has a role...

I usually don't like posting on boards, because honestly nothing is ever done about it but create a bunch of whining. I am a long time MMO player (EQ, UO, AO, Planetside beta) and one thing I can say is that every class is not equal...never has been. What every class did was perform a role. A wizard or druid in EQ could toast a melee, but they could not take any hits.


My point being, is that I don't think that a TKA needs to be able to stand toe to toe with a marksman. What I do think needs to happen is that TK's need to have a needed role to play. Monks in EQ were always used for pulling, but in SWG the smugglers get feign death. My question to that is **edit**, why don't the people that are supposed to be masters of body and mind get some **edit** like that?


Instead of everyone going on and complaining about how we can't stand toe to toe with marksman, why don't we make SOE give us a role that no other class can do that is needed? I personally think that the not having specific classes will be kind of a downfall to this game. There really isn't any individuality to this game, when even the melee can be healers. Doesn't make any sense to me.


Oh well, just thought someone needed to come out and say this. Why don't we focus on making SOE add something to the class that makes us a needed asset instead of worrying solely about how we compare to another class? Just make the classes more individualised to where ever joe blow can't do what you can.

very astute observation, I would be very grateful if we had some abilities that no one else had to make us a more valuable addition to a group.

Grouping in this game is a joke. There are no tactics. Its a chinese air raid (no offense my chinese brothers...figure of speech). Any role we might ever have is going to be pretty much useless unless we are absolutely required for some end game content (when/if its ever introduced).

Once again, someone who only reads one board and expects to know the full story. Read the other dev posts, it is a well known issue (2-3 other brawler prof's commented) and its being fixed (hopefully).

Our role: able to take down a jedi if necessary.


Are we honestly able to do this? Not if Jedi are as powerful as rumored. So what's the solution? Nerf the Jedi? I don't think so.


So if we can't fullfil our role in the universe what can we do?


Guess we'll find out when the devs get around to programing Jedi in the game, but not before we get a few more whacks with the nerf bat.

Our problem isn't that we can't kill people at range... it's that we can't kill people in CLOSE COMBAT. As it stands right now a Pistoleer is far more effective in the 1-10 meter range than any Teras Kasi Master. With Pistol Whip and the high-damage shots, we don't stand a chance considering we can't attack or special while on the run.


HOWEVER. Let's give the patch a chance
