PVP Questions and Answers

[guardian17]

I now have access to beta thanks to a few friends, and have several characters in the game. The game is very good even with all of its bugs. Hats off to bioware for making yet another great game. Unfortunately the game is not balanced at all and the bugs in the game can be quite frustrating, especially the input lag and server side lag which causes abilities to feel incredibly unresponsive and go off seconds after pushing the button, but aside from that the game runs fairly well. I am sure these issues will be fixed by release, the game is a must buy. Feel free to ask me any pvp questions you want.

From what I have seen so far, here is how the different AC's perform in the beta warzones overall.

Top Tier:

1. Sage/Sorcerror
2. Scoundrel/Operative
3. Commando/Mercenary

Mid Tier:

4. Vanguard/Powertech
5. Shadow/Assassin
6. Gunslinger/Sniper

Fail Tier:

7. Guardian/Juggernaut
8. Sentinel/Marauder

While there will definitely be balancing done, there is a trend in this list. Ranged classes and classes with lots of CC do very well in PVP, while melee classes and classes with little CC do poorly. All 3 classes in the top tier are AC's with a healing tree as well (although thats not necessarily why they are good). Warriors have a horrible resource mechanic as well, making them an absolutely terrible class. We will have to wait and see how much their balance passes fix things.
