After spending a few hours contemplating it, I decided to post here on the forums with my concerns on this update we have on the server rather than complaining straight to Shepard, so that I may get multiple opinions on the issues and perhaps a better solution. With this new update, from what I can tell, the goal was to make damage dealers do more damage, tanks take more damage, and force users to do a little more damage, but get nerfed a bit in most aspects. This update has thrown force users under the bus and ran them over a few times for extra measure by forcing force users to become sponges that either do 112 saber damage and use the overpowered force ability in a DAMAGE tree, but also have around 2k health or they become a brick by doing NEGATIVE saber damage if they invest in the Bulwark skill tree. This wouldn't be too big of a deal if this didn't affect the majority of the server and it seems like it does, I can go full tank and damage and still do around 350 damage with over 8000 health or better yet do around 300 damage with 8975 health. I know I get a huge health bonus from being Emperor (700 compared to Champions and Darths), but it is ridiculous that I can even have that much health in the first place, much more for it to be viable and do plenty of saber damage. This update has also started a trend of people going full damage and saving about 15 skill points because if they invest any more skill points they will LOSE something. If people are afraid to even invest their skill points anymore because they lose something in every path they go, something has to be wrong. I believe the maximum damage someone has done is 650 (I'm probably wrong on this) and if this person wants to overthrow me, a force user, they can hit me 3 or 4 times and they won. Congrats. I know there should be some trade off for being a force user, so thats why we don't gain speed in our tree....and lose health.....and lose saber damage. Pretty much force users are getting slammed in every direction and getting buffed in areas that don't need to be buffed. At 197% force I was good to go and never ran out of force. Now I have doubled the force and 1 extra ability because we decided to make affliction do 400 damage with a shorter cooldown than force vampire had, which only does 250 damage and is actually in a force tree. Imagine, most heavies on a person standing still get about 6 ticks, with the update and the damage meta in mind, ONE PLAYER can get about 3900 damage on a single heavy, you're basically 1 shotting every player who hasn't dedicated their life to Bulwark. I know this is just a bunch of complaints, but I don't see a single positive that can come out of this for anyone and I don't think anyone likes the update compared to the previous version. P.S. the "buff" to Fury made the Heavy worse than it was before so please fix it, I mean the ticks on the light are cool and all, but I liked the old heavy also I'm only doing this because I was informed if the community didn't enjoy the update then it would be reversed and I think I'm a member of the community. (Side note that I thought of after I typed all this, in the previous version, Force Users needed actual skill and couldn't just run away and not ignite their saber, they needed to fight both with their saber and their force abilities if they wanted to do well in fighting, but after the update and the big hit to their saber damage, it encourages the cancerous behavior of Force Users to run away and spam force abilities, causing even more hate to us. Please just undo this all already.)
