Oozo Strikes Back: 21-29 Vanguard Assault SWTOR PvP

[antne83e1]

Pretty funny seeing one of my first characters I started in this video. I was one of the guys you pulled out of stealth.

[stanjd]

LOL@ the amount of noobs you kited away from their objective.

[Malthaelone]

Where can I get the Cantina Band remix song?

[RaggokOozo]

@Malthaelone Jusst checked and the artist has removed it. He had it as a free download on soundcloud.

[FMonou]

Funny, the meaning of life pops up at 0:42 sec in this video.

[ArnaudLublink]

nice quality, nice skills, nice edit, nice music, nice voice! Fun! give more ;)!

[ShiroRX]

do you use a shield gen instead of a power gen? if not, what was that shield proc gfx?

[RaggokOozo]

@ShiroRX I use a power generator. Any shield proc was probably reactive shield.

[60Bingobent]

Really cool video mate.

Looking forward to more..

[8bix2]

LMAO 5:45 - 6:00

Great video. Your 1 reason I made a vanguard ;) Cheers

[ArnaudLublink]

Would be very kind to give a link to your talent tree :)

[DrBizarre187]

system specs?

[RaggokOozo]

@DrBizarre187 i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590. Game is installed on SSD, Fraps recording to a second hard drive.

[TheJpw926]

Do you have any kind of rotation for PvP? or i guess how to manage your ammo? and do you deal with higher lvls differently?

[CelebratingNothing]

Should throw more useless editing in there. I almost saw gameplay.

[RaggokOozo]

@CelebratingNothing Most of the movie is in fullscreen. If you are having a hard time following the gamplay then the problem is with your IQ, which, unfortunately for you, is not something you can fix.

[Darthvlaider]

Well played. I play Commando PVP on live, this video made me want to maybe level up a vanguard too though.

[SymbioteHost]

More hints and tricks videos for this class please! you're the only person who's ACTUALLY GOOD at playing this class. moar videos !

[SC2BronzeToGM]

I like all of your videos, followed you since your first WoW series. Hope to see you make some more WoW vids in the future. 

[maniacal1]

Just tossing it out there...jumping actually slices speed off of your movement.

[RaggokOozo]

@maniacal1 Yes, I know. I addressed this elsewhere. When you are kiting straight away from someone you have to jumpshot to land an ability. I admit to having a jumping habit, but most of the jumps here are to turn to land an ability on someone behind me. Also, sometimes you have to jump to hit someone who is out of line of sight. For example, in order to hit the assassin on the platform I had to jump to get line of sight.

[RaggokOozo]

@maniacal1 Continuing... that's not to say I don't have any unecessary jumps. I do. It's going to be a tough habit to break from years of games that did not punish jumping.

[RaggokOozo]

@TetrisTutorials I might go back to doing some commentary.  As you can see below, people sometimes make assumptions about what I'm doing.

[Ulm3n]

Macro using failboy. Sorry.

[RaggokOozo]

@Ulm3n The game doesnt support macros. If you are talking about the mouse I have the shift function bound to a side mouse button to open up keybinds. That's it.

[Zachzf993]

@Ulm3n Why do you fail so hard?

[crackyhoss]

wow. ok so you get some clutch heals from your ally and then you bail on him. don't even throw up a guard, assuming you have it.

[RaggokOozo]

@crackyhoss Healing is a bit weak in this game, he could not have kept me up through the 2-3 DPS coming after me with my health that low already. If I switch stances to throw up guard I lose my snare, which would have also ended up with me dying. I really wasn't in a good position there to stand and fight.

[crackyhoss]

@RaggokOozo that's all well and good, but tanks are useless in pvp without guard. you will never out-dps a dps class, so you have to have your guards/taunts ready and available. you definitely can still spec DPS, but that guard is essential. you'd be surprised how powerful a guarded healer+tank combo can be. Healing is super powerful in this game.

[RaggokOozo]

@crackyhoss I'm not a tank. I'm doing a pure DPS Vanguard build. There is a tree where you have an option to build it is a tank, but I'm not in that tree. I have none of the skills (think talents) to support tanking In order to guard you need to be in the tank stance which would severely gimp me since my skills are built around plasma stance.

[RaggokOozo]

@crackyhoss Also, you need to understand that everyone can see when an enemy is low health. I would have been focused and died since we were outnumbered. Honestly, the best chance for both of us was to retreat. That healer should have been running the same direction I was to string them out away from the node. We would have both died if we stayed where he was standing.

[Malthaelone]

@crackyhoss That's not true in the slightest. This is not World of Warcraft.

DPS overall for all classes are quite balanced, which is Bioware's goal for this game. They want the tank classes and the melee classes to be equal in terms - though the Vanguard misses out on some of the hardest hitting speccs/abilities, they gain more survivability in their dps trees instead.

Sorry, but a Vanguard DPS specc IS viable.

[crackyhoss]

@Malthaelone they will never hit 300k dps in warzones as consistently as the other classes, and so they are only viable as dps if they are guarding people. I've got a lvl 50 jugg, dps spec, with tanking gear. that's the only viable option as far as i'm concerned.

[Crevan1986]

@crackyhoss That would be relevant if he was a tank.

[RaggokOozo]

@Iviker Commando gives you an option to spec into healing. Vanguard gives you an option to spec into tanking. They both have DPS options.
