PVP and Damage Mitigation

PVP and Damage Mitigation

Ever wonder how that Scoundrel, Operative, or Sorcerer melted through your tank so fast? It would appear that mitigation on certain damage types is a little off. By that I mean possibly broken. I have no idea if this is 100% accurate but after reading the following post it sounds like this guy knows what he's talking about.

Final Guild Wars 2 Profession announced

Final Guild Wars 2 Profession announced

The mesmer doesn't have the brute power of the warrior, or the ranged devastation of the ranger. Instead, the mesmer weaves a web of interlaced illusions, conditions, and phantasmal sources of damage.

Star Wars Security Key

Star Wars Security Key

As many World of Warcraft players already know, somebody is going to get your username and password. And as some of you know, if you use the same username and password you used in WoW then someone ALREADY has your information. Please use a new user/pass combo for SWTOR. Of course even if you do someone somewhere will get it, either through a brute force attack...

Are Jedi Knights Overpowered?

Are Jedi Knights Overpowered?

There are many in the SWTOR community that believe that Jedi Knights, and their Imperial counterparts the Sith Warriors, are overpowered in PVP and that there is no reason to ever play a different class.  The last statement must be false simply on the grounds that Jedi Knights are tanks or DPS and nothing more, but the idea has been floating around the Internet...

Guild Pre-launch is Locked In

Guild Pre-launch is Locked In

The guild pre-launch program is over.  We can no longer make any changes to The Cabal as far as Star Wars is considered until the headstart program begins.  No additional members, allies, or enemies can be added and we are locked in to the time zone and server type.  Also I set our language preference as Cantonese so that might come back and bite us in the...

Open World PVP and More

Open World PVP and More

BioWare has done a good job of disseminating information about the Warzone (Battleground) PVP players can expect from Star Wars: The Old Republic.  The company has been surprisingly quiet about the finer points of open world PVP and what we can expect.  With a perfect combat vehicle in the Empire versus the Republic there doesn’t even need to be some...

Trooper Versus Sith Inquisitor

Trooper Versus Sith Inquisitor

In the continuing “Choose Your Side” series of videos BioWare is giving us a look at a Sith Inquisitor up against a Trooper.

Warzones

Warzones

Instanced PVP in Star Wars: TOR takes place in Warzones.  For those familiar with World of Warcraft, a Warzone would be the equivalent of a WoW Battleground such as Arathi Basin.  While murdering each other is a priority, each Warzone has at least one objective, and more often than not several.  The Alderaan Warzone for example has several control points that...
