/watch?v=Z4T33AUEwis can any of you go watch my first commentary and give me feedback please :)? I want to get bigger in the youtuber community!it's my dream!!
I know people don't like these comments but can you take a look please?
You gotta use some more abilities man...Gunslinger isn't as good a sniper imo. The animations take more time which is a key aspect. For example as a sniper I can charge up my Ambush and spam Sabotage Charge. Immediately as my Ambush hits the sabotage charge goes off as well. In PvP that gives me a 5k dmg burst if I am lucky. If I try to do this on the gunslinger the animation for aimed shot just gets canceled and the sabotage charge takes about 2 seconds to actually get to the target. Good vid
how can i reduce/take away the delay when i take cover cause its annoying when you want to take cover but end up standing there and then (seconds later) being fried by a sith sorcerror.
@taugrimtaugrim You might want to do a bit more research. physical cover (rolled into) = totally avoid ranged damage (when you get up to perform your skills you take full damage). portable cover screen = mitigate damage (while behind the screen all damage is reduced - when you get up to perform skills you also take full damage). I can't believe there are still sniper and gunslinger players that don't know that.
@cliveklg actually, you might want to do a bit more research. Your understanding is incorrect.
For Gunslinger / Sniper, when you Take Cover or Take Cover in Place, you gain +20% to your Ranged Defense. Keep in mind per an article on Defense on my blog that Ranged Defense only works against Ranged attacks, not Force nor Tech attacks.
It doesn't matter whether you are taking Cover where you are or roll into it.
i like the smuggler and the imp agent but i hate how under powered they are like just look up a vid of a smuggler at lvl 15 questing then a troopper you will see that the smuggler is under powered
@taugrimtaugrim It's not as responsive as when I'm solo grinding/questing, but it's ALOT better than using the quickslot, yes. I'm enjoying PvP more now, so I ditched my Sage to go back to Gunslinging, thanks again
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hey mate, great video but the gunslinger isnt the mirror of the imp sniper. its the mirror of the bounty hunter merc. common mistake thanks for the vid
Thanks a lot for the vid. I'm totally choosing a smuggler, but I can't decide between the Gunslinger or the Scoundrel in terms of pvp. I was never good in PVP but when I get this game, I thought I'd give it a shot again! Regardless, thank you again for the video it really helped me decide what to choose! :)
I've got a Smuggler as my 2nd guy, and I'm currently stuck at deciding between the Gunslinger and Scoundrel. It's a super hard choice. This video makes a good case for Gunslinger (I'm big on PvP), but can you give me any opinions or anything on the Scoundrel play (if you know them as well). Thanks!
Finally, a good PvP video. Someone who actually explains what's going on in the video and DOES NOT backpedal. Man, that's so annoying to watch, haha. Good job on the video, taugrimtaugrim!
@mackuss I'm narrating in real-time while watching the footage. Usually requires multiple takes until the narration is of sufficiently good quality from a content standpoint.
Wasn't interested in the game when the BETA came around, but now I really want to play this game. Im thinking imperial agent or smuggler, I like the play styles, I think inquisitor looks like the FOTM, which do you think will be more populated, imperial or smuggler? I like the play the most underground class :p
lol at all the wow nerds who cant stand the fact that a decent mmo is about to be released which poses a serious threat to Wow's numbers....cant wait to see how they'll react when Guild wars 2 comes out :D
Hey Ed, I really gotta say man I appreciate the time and detail you put into your videos. I rolled a gunslinger during the open beta and enjoyed it. I have a question, at this point, what would you say your favorite class is and why?
@taugrimtaugrim "Turret Mechanic"... I hadn't thought of it like that, lol. That really puts it in perspective for me now... I may try playing them again once I get the chance.
@nfefx nope, they spent nowhere near 180 million on the pvp.
And the money that they did spend on pvp wasn't spent on making it look good in youtube tutorials.
tbh I dont think the opinions of mmo newbies who can't tell skill based pvp when they see it was their top priority. They barely spent anything on that.
hey man, how do you feel about the cover system? is it getting annoying after popping up that wall the 100th time or do u get used to it? is it possible to run around without it or is the class so dependent on it? cheers!
What I'd like as never understood it in MMORPG (probably why I've always been crap with PvP etc) is with the stats on items.Like "Does krit damage","This gives +2 to stamina" etc.What I wanted to know is what these related to stats wise?Having trouble explaining what I mean.But while I was in the BETA weekend I looked at my advance class and never really understood the significance of abilities that add 2% krit damage etc. And what stats add to your health is what I wanted to know at the time.
It's nice to finally see someone who knows what the fuck to do it a warzone! I've been able to ninja cap doors so much because people just don't look.
@taugrimtaugrim pretty sure it detonates on hit, so it would only add to your nuke, it would likely be a great initiater, but i went with the sawbone spec
@xontroulisrocks I haven't tried it, but on paper DF sounds like a good tree for PVP. Keep in mind though that Cover really is the core mechanic for Gunslinger, so it's good to utilize Cover as much as possible.
mostly all this learned over the weekend of beta on my own =s
kills and kb must mean you were last one to hit the enemy while the others did most dmg.. on the topic of dmg you fail to mention that it means absolutely nothing if you have no team co operation... defeat.. btw it really does look like most everyone simply ignoring you I played scoundrel to 14 and I was unimpressed over the weekend
People need to get how badass the cover specs are. Yes, the "self root effect" has a drawback, there are counters to it, but its balanced against so many other things. You can't get charged, pulled, knocked back/knocked down. You get tons of CC, and knockback abilities, you also get an ability that will negate all stuns for a period of time in cover. And you cannot forget the damage output. massive crits. Good players will dominate the stats as the sniper/gunslinger, no doubt about it.
@pokemanz plus you can use it to travel faster and get away from tunnel visioning. Given you master the roll onto world objects. Excellent example would be on huttball it was possible to actually roll to the platforms above in a few places
Hey guys, i'v made a new channel and will upload great PvP Gameplay, Tips, Guide and others video on SWTOR (i have a lvl 44 sith assassin as of now). If you want to check it, and suscribe ;) Thx !
ugh looking to make a ranged class and stuck with sniper or bh (don't know bh spec yet) I'm afraid of this cover idea. seems to slow mobility. did it feel stiff to you? i played with a bh on beta and it was free flowing ranged dps.... which was cool, but I'm curious about the sniper sense i haven't played one, and you played gunslinger, figured I'd ask.
@roachxpoison Gunslinger/Sniper is not as fluid in terms of mobility as Trooper/BH. GS/Sniper is all about maximizing your time in Cover.
That being said, Cover works. I was skeptical of it because PVP is all about good movement and positioning, but the benefits of Cover and how easy it is to plop anywhere make it quite functional.
@taugrimtaugrim so if im the type that likes to strafe and gun i should look for BH, but if im the type that doesnt mind setup time i gain what? i know you receive less damage while covered, but is there a dmg burst or steady increase vs the bh?
@roachxpoison the big benefit for Gunslinger/Sniper Cover is you can't be interrupted. Also Cover for any Smuggler / Imp Agent prevents opponents from using their charge ability.
Those really offset the downsides of the "self-root" effect.
@roachxpoison If you are someone that absolutely must run and gun, then sniper is not for you. Sniper has the capability of doing obscene amounts of damage, sometimes taking down an opponent in less than 3 seconds. You also don't need to descend into cover--droping cover does not tick the global cooldown, so you can instantly start using an ability right after cover goes down. Adds maybe 0.2 seconds to your dps.
@johnjiaojhu oh wow didnt realize it was unaffected by gc thats a big plus .2 sec isnt that bad for a setup, reason i ask is i am looking for a cannon or "glass cannon" build but if i cant make it work then im leaning towards run n gun.
how do you pop out your mobile cover instead of auto rolling to the 'green' man at a couple of stages in the match (3 min something)...you mention you don't want to use the hard cover as its too close so u pop out your mobile one...how do you do that as i found if i press cover it would always auto roll hard cover if it was there. cheers
Taugrim, great video kudo's on not using stupid music and keeping your commentaries crispy clear =). I wanted to ask if it would be possible to show some PVP content with the Empire's IA Sniper and the Bounty Hunter? I know the posts you with the Gunslinger and Trooper, but since some commands change on the other classes it would be cool to see how those classes measure up against Republic PVP.
@kildjean I won't have the time, unfortunately. Given that the classes are mirrors across factions, you can watch footage of any class and understand how the mirror spec'd in the same tree will function
@taugrimtaugrim Fair enough... Let me ask you another question then, from the smuggler and the trooper which class you prefer best for overall PVE/PVP (considering there would be gear change for PVP)?? are there any differences you can point out for these two classes that would make them one better than the other?
@kildjean I played Gunslinger and Commando, so I can talk about those. GS obviously can't heal, it's a pure DPS class. Commando has a healing tree and 2 DPS trees (one nuking and the other revolves around DoTs).
If you think you might want to heal, roll Commando or Scoundrel. It's too early for me to project how the classes will fare in endgame PVE.
hey glad to see your going to be playing swtor. i have been watch your guides since the prot pally vids in wow. what classes do u plan on playing when the game comes out??
@taugrimtaugrim lol i know what you mean.. one more question for you :) do you know what realm your going to be playing on or if they have realm names out yet and what a good pvp realm will be??
@taugrimtaugrim thanks for the fast response! Im sure everyone would love your thoughts on realms when they release them :) keep the greate pvp vids coming
This is the best commentary video I have seen yet. I'm kind of new to mmos and I would like to know the best way to use my hotkeys and movement keys. I usually use the 1-0 and f1-f12 for all my action bar hotkeys and i use the mouse to move around, holding both buttons down. Is there a better way to set these up or am I doing fine?
@taugrimtaugrim Thanks a lot :) the only other mmorpg I have played was rift and i found it very hard to use my abilities effectively while trying to strafe certain ways
@taugrimtaugrim Hi Taugrim. Your Guide for Strafing/Keybinding/Movement is great reading. I have one question. When I play a melee class I find that I use strafing a lot less than when I play ranged. I am thinking about changing the keys for strafing for other abilities since I have too many as a Sentinel. I am reluctant though since strafing could be critical in some situations. How do you bind abilites when playing a resource demanding class as Sentinel. The keys are not enough at level 40.
@arkont there are some abilities at upper levels that replace the lower-level ones. E.g. Blade Rush (or w/e its called) and Slash. It is tough. I have something like 22 keybinds available with single key press with my setup.
Some abilities also are *not* worth keybinding, when you use them out of combat or rarely
@taugrimtaugrim Thanks for the fast reply. I have been trying to rationalize away abilities, but its hard. The Sentinel class is a bit unforgiving in that every ability only do one single thing so you have to map a lot. I am considering playing Shadow just because of its easier resource and ability management, but I'll give Sentinel another go for now.
Thanks for the response. Right now I'm leaning towards the trooper, combat medic as it seems a "jack of all trades" like my druid in WOW. I like the thought of off healing while still doing so damage. I enjoyed it as a hybrid combat medic in Star Wars Galaxies
@Spencinho Bolster will be in live. What's not clear is whether there will be one (e.g. 10-50) or mutiple (e.g. 10-49, 50) brackets for PVP. I'm hoping for the latter. 50s have too much of an advantage that isn't addressed with Bolster: more talent points, more trainable abilities, and gear
Does pvp increase all ur stats or something? Because that dmg output is very high in comparison to what i throw out on my IA when questing in the 20s?
hot many dozens of hour sof video did it take you to find something this half decent?

I liked your keybinding video and was curious about how you applied the concept to the sharpshooter spec.
What I couldn't see in the video is which key let's you take cover.
I would expect it to be the "e" key. Is that correct?
Secondly, I would usually combine taking cover with an aimed shot. Do you do that?
Using your esdf setup, it seems difficult for me to get quickly to the "1" key.
So far, I have tried to use shift-cover for aimed shot, activating shift with my pinky.
Anyway, awsome video!

Is there a reason you never used Sabotage Charge, I remember it being quite an effiicient move for pvp when I was playing
RaptorJesustology 3 months ago
@RaptorJesustology I can probably use it more, but this is a nuke spec not an AOE spec, so keep that in mind.
taugrimtaugrim 3 months ago
@taugrimtaugrim pretty sure it detonates on hit, so it would only add to your nuke, it would likely be a great initiater, but i went with the sawbone spec
micshaz 3 months ago
@taugrimtaugrim Sabotage charge doesn't AOE, its instant cast and blows up, dealing damage to only one person as soon as the target takes any damage.

Isn`t the dirty fighting tree the better one for pvp? Dots ticking and you able kiting the enemy should be the better choice or?
xontroulisrocks 3 months ago
@xontroulisrocks I haven't tried it, but on paper DF sounds like a good tree for PVP. Keep in mind though that Cover really is the core mechanic for Gunslinger, so it's good to utilize Cover as much as possible.
taugrimtaugrim 3 months ago
mostly all this learned over the weekend of beta on my own =s
kills and kb must mean you were last one to hit the enemy while the others did most dmg.. on the topic of dmg you fail to mention that it means absolutely nothing if you have no team co operation... defeat.. btw it really does look like most everyone simply ignoring you I played scoundrel to 14 and I was unimpressed over the weekend

People need to get how badass the cover specs are. Yes, the "self root effect" has a drawback, there are counters to it, but its balanced against so many other things. You can't get charged, pulled, knocked back/knocked down. You get tons of CC, and knockback abilities, you also get an ability that will negate all stuns for a period of time in cover. And you cannot forget the damage output. massive crits. Good players will dominate the stats as the sniper/gunslinger, no doubt about it.
pokemanz 3 months ago
@pokemanz agree 100%. Cover works, and Gunslinger / Sniper kick ass in PVP. I am pleasantly surprised with how viable they are.
taugrimtaugrim 3 months ago
@pokemanz plus you can use it to travel faster and get away from tunnel visioning. Given you master the roll onto world objects. Excellent example would be on huttball it was possible to actually roll to the platforms above in a few places

ugh looking to make a ranged class and stuck with sniper or bh (don't know bh spec yet) I'm afraid of this cover idea. seems to slow mobility. did it feel stiff to you? i played with a bh on beta and it was free flowing ranged dps.... which was cool, but I'm curious about the sniper sense i haven't played one, and you played gunslinger, figured I'd ask.
roachxpoison 3 months ago
@roachxpoison Gunslinger/Sniper is not as fluid in terms of mobility as Trooper/BH. GS/Sniper is all about maximizing your time in Cover.
That being said, Cover works. I was skeptical of it because PVP is all about good movement and positioning, but the benefits of Cover and how easy it is to plop anywhere make it quite functional.
taugrimtaugrim 3 months ago 2
@taugrimtaugrim so if im the type that likes to strafe and gun i should look for BH, but if im the type that doesnt mind setup time i gain what? i know you receive less damage while covered, but is there a dmg burst or steady increase vs the bh?
roachxpoison 3 months ago
@roachxpoison the big benefit for Gunslinger/Sniper Cover is you can't be interrupted. Also Cover for any Smuggler / Imp Agent prevents opponents from using their charge ability.
Those really offset the downsides of the "self-root" effect.
taugrimtaugrim 3 months ago
@taugrimtaugrim OH wow didn't realize this.... you guys may need to stop your really swaying me to sniper.
roachxpoison 3 months ago
@roachxpoison If you are someone that absolutely must run and gun, then sniper is not for you. Sniper has the capability of doing obscene amounts of damage, sometimes taking down an opponent in less than 3 seconds. You also don't need to descend into cover--droping cover does not tick the global cooldown, so you can instantly start using an ability right after cover goes down. Adds maybe 0.2 seconds to your dps.
johnjiaojhu 3 months ago
@johnjiaojhu oh wow didnt realize it was unaffected by gc thats a big plus .2 sec isnt that bad for a setup, reason i ask is i am looking for a cannon or "glass cannon" build but if i cant make it work then im leaning towards run n gun.

how do you pop out your mobile cover instead of auto rolling to the 'green' man at a couple of stages in the match (3 min something)...you mention you don't want to use the hard cover as its too close so u pop out your mobile one...how do you do that as i found if i press cover it would always auto roll hard cover if it was there. cheers

Taugrim, great video kudo's on not using stupid music and keeping your commentaries crispy clear =). I wanted to ask if it would be possible to show some PVP content with the Empire's IA Sniper and the Bounty Hunter? I know the posts you with the Gunslinger and Trooper, but since some commands change on the other classes it would be cool to see how those classes measure up against Republic PVP.
Again my respects to you for a great showcast!
kildjean 3 months ago
@kildjean I won't have the time, unfortunately. Given that the classes are mirrors across factions, you can watch footage of any class and understand how the mirror spec'd in the same tree will function
taugrimtaugrim 3 months ago
@taugrimtaugrim Fair enough... Let me ask you another question then, from the smuggler and the trooper which class you prefer best for overall PVE/PVP (considering there would be gear change for PVP)?? are there any differences you can point out for these two classes that would make them one better than the other?
kildjean 3 months ago
@kildjean I played Gunslinger and Commando, so I can talk about those. GS obviously can't heal, it's a pure DPS class. Commando has a healing tree and 2 DPS trees (one nuking and the other revolves around DoTs).
If you think you might want to heal, roll Commando or Scoundrel. It's too early for me to project how the classes will fare in endgame PVE.
Either way you'll be fine, they both rock.

This is the best commentary video I have seen yet. I'm kind of new to mmos and I would like to know the best way to use my hotkeys and movement keys. I usually use the 1-0 and f1-f12 for all my action bar hotkeys and i use the mouse to move around, holding both buttons down. Is there a better way to set these up or am I doing fine?
decrepitvoid 3 months ago
@decrepitvoid I talk about that very question extensively in my streams.
I've also written a Guide that explains my philosophy. Here's how you find it:
1. go to taugrim . com
2. click on Guides
3. click on the Guide for Strafing / Keybinding / Movement
You're actually finding this info at a good time, before you start to learn the crappy keybindings that are the default in every major MMORPG.
taugrimtaugrim 3 months ago 6
@taugrimtaugrim Thanks a lot :) the only other mmorpg I have played was rift and i found it very hard to use my abilities effectively while trying to strafe certain ways
decrepitvoid 3 months ago
@taugrimtaugrim Hi Taugrim. Your Guide for Strafing/Keybinding/Movement is great reading. I have one question. When I play a melee class I find that I use strafing a lot less than when I play ranged. I am thinking about changing the keys for strafing for other abilities since I have too many as a Sentinel. I am reluctant though since strafing could be critical in some situations. How do you bind abilites when playing a resource demanding class as Sentinel. The keys are not enough at level 40.
arkont 3 months ago
@arkont there are some abilities at upper levels that replace the lower-level ones. E.g. Blade Rush (or w/e its called) and Slash. It is tough. I have something like 22 keybinds available with single key press with my setup.
Some abilities also are *not* worth keybinding, when you use them out of combat or rarely
taugrimtaugrim 3 months ago
@taugrimtaugrim Thanks for the fast reply. I have been trying to rationalize away abilities, but its hard. The Sentinel class is a bit unforgiving in that every ability only do one single thing so you have to map a lot. I am considering playing Shadow just because of its easier resource and ability management, but I'll give Sentinel another go for now.

@taugrimtaugrim
Thanks for the response. Right now I'm leaning towards the trooper, combat medic as it seems a "jack of all trades" like my druid in WOW. I like the thought of off healing while still doing so damage. I enjoyed it as a hybrid combat medic in Star Wars Galaxies

do you think they'll be implenting the bolster mechanic for the full game or was it just for beta puposes?
Spencinho 3 months ago
@Spencinho Bolster will be in live. What's not clear is whether there will be one (e.g. 10-50) or mutiple (e.g. 10-49, 50) brackets for PVP. I'm hoping for the latter. 50s have too much of an advantage that isn't addressed with Bolster: more talent points, more trainable abilities, and gear
