Interesting, just goes to show how much I know about sorcs, haha. I always assumed force abilities were the equivalent to our tech abilities. But it does make more sense for ranged classes to work similarly. Hopefully all sorc specs work out as well as the sniper ones have since this little patch, been having a lot of fun with my marks/engineering hybrid in hardmode EC.

Sorcerer lightning is energy damage, which is mitigated by armor. Sorcerer/Sage dps specs have no armor penetration ability and are in the same boat.

They still need time for hardware repairs, operating system updates, database maintenance and other software updates. Hotfixing content has become a standard feature, good to see BW using the feature.

How did the Rakghoul plague plague end? lol, players started RPing their own ending, by saying, “There was not Rakghoul plague,” Jedi waves his hand.

Sounds like snipers and gunslingers are missing an armor penetration spec. Will BW need to continue upgrading damage to overcome new armor sets? Squishy healers in PVP are going to have a hard time with this change.

if they can drop content in on the fly like that why is there weekly down time?

As a sniper who theorycrafts (have played about 6 different specs since patch 1.2) I have to say this was a good change. All the abilities that were buffed are able to be mitigated by armor, unlike poisons from lethality or lightning from sorcs. Marksman snipers were hurting in pve because bosses have armor, and in pvp, well, those abilities are also dodge/parry/absorb-able, again unlike sorc lightning or BH missles. So this little buff helped marksman snipers compete with the other 2 specs which had more tech abilities, as well as the other classes.

The live event did end with a word — Here:

And an ask for feedback about it by the lead designer:

Also, the plague hasn’t ended (on most servers). It seems to live through because of pvp warzones being inhabited by infected troops. Repeatedly. Which can turn annoying, because the infection lasts through death, whereas the rather pricey vaccine does not.
