Staying above 90% health on an ele could never be called passive play, regardless of spec.
That’s about 1 auto attacks worth.
Its these kind of counters which make classes viable for sustained dps… heaven forbid you might have to time your burst….
that said it will be strong as hell in the right hands

Please, for the love of Dwayna, start making new game types other than conquest. I was an avid BG PvPer in Swtor when it launched because they had several different interesting game types. I was one of the first War Heroes on my server, back when that meant something. I love GW2, and it’s clearly a much better game all around than Swtor could ever dream of being, but sPvP’s lack of diversity is a problem. Instead of making more maps for conquest style matches, start making new modes, like attack and defend an objective, capture the flag, a huttball type game, team deathmatch, etc. There are so many possibilities.

We didn’t get a comment on this though
If you are considering a huttball-esk game type, then I made a post there about incorporating the jump mechanic worth a look!
Initially, one of the easiest ways to determine who to target first is by looking at their armor.
If we introduce town clothing, we’d have elementalists running around in giant hulking suits of armor and warriors running around in skimpy/provocative clothing.
People would be able to mask their class from a distance and it would cause problems in matches.
This really will be something which many people (like me) will complain about if implemented.Maybe keep this out of the tournament system but add a setting to the custom arena which allows town clothing?
read my comments
What if town clothes overrides nakedness in spvp?
That would allow people to show off their TC helm/shoulders/gloves, AND for some of the more ‘gifted’ players to troll matches half naked as the mad king…
Directly allowing the use of town clothes in PvP or any combat situation may sound trivial, but its quite a complicated problem with how the inventory and equipment are structured. That being said, a version of this isn’t off the table. The amount of work for the gain just isn’t something the PvP team has bandwidth to tackle anytime soon. Keep the suggestions coming!
Thanks for commenting
Yeah I forget sometimes there’s a PvE game too.. and you could make the same argument for head/shoulders/hands there!
Maybe with a bit of convincing they could make something we could benefit from too
…toggle the head, shoulders and gloves to display town clothes as well as being invisible.
Well lets look at it this way. The release of Jubilee Masks, Horns of the Dragon, Zephyrite Helms, Achievement Armour and Toxic Gloves/Shoulders etc has already shown Anet is willing to produce cross-armour type gear in spvp for these slots
Had an idea for this the other day.. what if when you threw the orb, a circle appeared similar to that found in huttball.
If you pressed jump while in that circle, you’d jump (perhaps slightly higher), however the person highest within the circle when he orb lands would ‘catch’ the orb.
As immob, cc, knockbacks etc all inhibit jumping it would make for a very fluid yet rewarding mechanic for catching the orb.
Also to any devs if this sort of thing is being considered at all a bump would be great
Goood Luck, both Jin and Aero are solid players, potential for a very good team here
O-o
Good luck guys. I’m actually back FOR SURE next week, I’d be happy to sub while you get your team sorted
For now im solo q on EU, playing off my mighty stallion the Lenovo yoga

Left a Q/A for the best suggestion.
Let’s face it, SWTOR did a lot of things wrong. People kitten and moan about gw2, but really it’s a different beast. One nice thing is that although spvp development can look a bit sluggish sometimes, the wider game (PvE primarily) seems very robust. This matters more in the long run IMO, for those of us reluctant to hop around games (I know I should more).
But this post isn’t about that, or about SWTOR’s shortcomings. Lets look at what it did right in pvp; and what we can take from it. It may be that sufficient time has passed… and taking influence from their pvp development wouldn’t be as toxic as it once was.
My key suggestion would be a change to the way the orb is handled on spirit watch. I for one loved the huttball mechanic, and for me it was one of the best ideas in pvp game type design in years. The ability to throw or pass the huttball to allies (or intercepting opponents!) was fresh, and really emphasised (or could emphasise) positional play (without insta death) and team coordination. It also fits neatly into the current free casting aoe and positional CC mechanics employed by gw2.
So what do you think? Worth trying it out on spirit watch? What if we could take this mechanic and emphasise it on a new map, doing away with capture points altogether?
Also, what about other mechanics such as a CC cap. Personally I feel that stability, stunbreaks and the dodge mechanic solves this problem, but I have heard it mentioned on the forums. This was certainly a key mechanic in SWTOR.
Are there any other cool skills/mechanics people liked in that game worth mentioning? The devs seem to have their hearts set on new traits for each class in the near future… This could be a good time to make suggestions…

so u mean u cant spam anymore and need to think when to use? sounds like a good idea.
how about a zerkeramulett if u want deal more dmg?
Troll?
Honestly can’t tell… Oh well hopefully they’ll take 100hps of healing signet and people will stop making such ‘creative’ balancing suggestions. Maybe nerf cleansing ire/burst mastery synergy too.
Till then I’ll stay away from these threads!
if u would read his post u would see that is answer always is “cant use it at given frequency like now”. that means spam. spam spam
0/30/30/0/10 lower recharge -> qq
0/x/30/x/30 lower dmg -> qqso all he wants is play with pvt and spam F1, more condition cleanse, more dmg than normal pvt and more defense.. but not change any single utility to adapt to enemy team. not using mending if enemy has a lot of possible conditionbunker and so on.
Then what you’re missing is the fact that you need 15 is discipline to run a warrior in tpvp.
Otherwise we’d of all of been running regen banners since beta
And the alternate would prevent you running anything other than a zerker amulet to use a nerfed hammer, which is lame and you be stupid not to just run an axe.
u mean u need to think about your build and what enemy u engage? sounds right i think. not the all-around high dmg dealing, immune to conditions, high toughness and high frequent cc war atm..
A: stopped running cc months ago when I bother to faceroll on a warrior.
B: there are alternate and largely unplayed warrior builds which are altogether more uncounterable.
