Bout to jump on if anyone wants to ride dirty.

I'm hoping that most of our small group decides to hit 50 before rerolling to see how the prepubescent half lives (kidding, sort of).

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I need to get some mobility in my gameplay life... I've been mostly playing a gunslinger and I have nightmares about being stationary in PvP.

Should have definitely rolled Scoundrel. The Scoundrel/Op (even after the nerf) is SO OP. Their burst and CC is retarded. i hate seeing them in WZs. They can open with a knockback that lasts something like 3-5 seconds, and burst me to death before I can stand up. And I'm in Full Champion gear, 584 Expertise (for now....)

As an aside, not sure if you all saw this - they're nerfing PvP gear's Expertise stat. This raises the question - is endgame PvE gear now more viable in PvP? I've seen a couple Tankasins in Columi gear with 22k HP. They pick up the huttball and run that shite like Tebow.

Of course they make this announcement literally 2 days before I hit Battlemaster. Of course. LINK

edit: my reaction to the gear nerf...2 days before I get Battlemaster. So pissed. LINK

I'm fine with gunslinger for PvE. Immense burst damage. I would have gone scoundrel but when we decided to go Republic on Bondar Crystal, I already had my gunslinger and didn't feel like making another smuggler.

Yep. The Sniper mirror is excellent in burst PvE, but the lack of mobility really hurts in PvP. I guess it just ends up being whatever you like.

UPDATE ON PVP: They are not nerfing the Expertise stat. Thank God. They are instead increasing the availability of Centurion gear, while at the same time, making it harder to get Champion Gear. POST: LINK
