SWTOR 3.1 PTS patch notes for the second round.
EA is nearing an agreement to move the ongoing development and operation of MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic from BioWare to third-party studio Broadsword Online Games, IGN has learned. The move is intended to allow BioWare to focus on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
A new update for Star Wars: The Old Republic is coming out on PC and the patch notes provide us with an in-depth look at all the new changes.
I loved this game and have played since launch but don't let this article fool you, this game is a step above life support. While they are still technically updating the game, the updates are few and far between and there is a significant lack of quality control, so many little bugs that have been present for years.
SWTOR players, get ready for a new month of exciting in-game events! Here's what's coming up in January 2023.
Hopefully the DV change doesn't make it to live without addressing some of the overall threat issues with Darkness' single target TPS. The Discharge buff is definitely a welcome one in this regard, but only in conjunction with what is supposed to be our shiny new uber-skill. Not to mention we lose out on the damage reduction by clipping it in favor of a higher-threat skill just to hold aggro. Our mitigation is already spikey as it is, this will only make it worse.
IMO it isn't fun having to front load threat prior to a pull. As it stands, unless we want our dps throttling their damage, a pre-pull lacerate to proc Conspirator's Cloak, pre-casting Crushing Darkness, and then using Force Pull is required just to hold threat in that initial pull. Nevermind if the fight has adds, or drops aggro multiple times, as using those initial front-loaders is nigh impossible.
It sucks when you HAVE TO use Taunt just to keep your other tank in less gear from throttling their DPS and out-threating you with just their normal rotations. Either buff the damage, or buff the threat, not nerf and buff at the same time - That, my friends, is the definition of a wash
I'm curious to hear what some other Sin tanks think about it
