As a player who has been watching the profession nerfing unfold, ever notice when one profession is more popular than the others it gets nerfed?

I can think back to when Commando was a joke. They fix the flamethrower. Everyone wants to do that. Nerf.

Same for Creature Handler.

TKA I am sure is next.

Thinking something like Master Carbineer will be the next flavor of the month.....maybe Squad Leader...

CH's weren't exactly nerfed in the last pass. Creatures themselves were nerfed, but CH's were hit the hardest cuz they directly related to the creatures. However, if you look at what a MCH gets, you'll see it wasn't that bad. And the profession needed balancing in terms of how much "power" you could have at lower levels. Having a Graul Mauler at 3200 CH would be the equivalent of getting Power Boost Duration 1 hour at 3200 TKM.

The changed worked, and now people who want BIG CH power master the profession, just as with any other profession.

We're a nice balanced profession, where most if not all of our specials actually work to some degree. Other professions are being brought up to taht level as well, and it's good to see.

With the new combat passes, I doubt there will be much directly affecting TKA, unless it's related to the combat pass itself. Again, a big sweeping general change, may impact those that directly relate to it....us, for instance.

I think your partly right in your subjects question.

Typically players gravitate towards what they consider is the most powerful profession. The devs have to look closely at the most popular professions and ask why they are so popular. In a lot of cases, it may well be because they are overpowered.

I suspect that while there is a broad range of professions being played they wont mind a little bias towards any particular profession. However, if we get maybe 20-30% of the players aiming at TKM, then I suspect a nerf will be in the works!

If this is the way the DEVs think then they are friggen stupid.

especially after introducing holocrons which completely throw the numbers off

Equality is an impossible task. There will always be someone stronger, just as there will always be someone weaker. If the dev's really base decisions on classes in this manner then this game will never stabilize, people will remain angry. Mayb the devs havent heard this but, "You can't please everybody."

People who call for the nerfing of other classes are just plain idiots/morons. Unfortunately tho, the world of gaming is always abundantly full of them. So if any Game Dev or powers that be cater to them,then that game isnt worth the time,effort, & $$$ spent on it and should not be played.

You guys deserve a nerf.

Your friendly nerfed BH since day one
