SW: The Old Republic - Episode VIII (May RNG Be With You)
From what I can tell, Sorcs got a damage nerf but still have the best DCDs and the range advantage and good off-healing, (Deception)Sins have the ability to maintain +15% DR and Force Regeneration for a long time, and Guardians are good for PVE but run into issues when focused in PVP when they aren't tanks. I'd say play what you want, unless what you want is a lot of alts in which case tough **** and go with sorc.

For end-game PVP and Ops I would assume so.

Yeah, Knights of the Eternal Grind does not look alt friendly and I've got too much stuff to do to get fully geared. I mean if this was something like Legacy and we got tokens or commendations that would be one thing but it's a huge amount of work to gear 1 toon in full 242(?) with set bonus.

If you've got a lot of alts it's a pain in the ass to get geared for each one, more so than it was for PVP at least. Tried a few uprisings, pretty much shorter flashpoints without cinematics or koltostations. Doing them without a healer is a bitch and what (non payer or companion) healing there is doesn't reset between boss fights. Looks like I now have a reason to keep medpacs. And I really miss ravage.

The answer to your question is "no", if you would have gotten it all along instead of ctrl-Fing for Stalinism that should be clear. I guess proficiency in reading comprehension isn't a requirement for graduation at Rice.

Fidel Castro Dead at 90
"Instead of reprimanding ordinary people, he should have applied the old Stalinist motto according to which the mobile of progress in Socialism is self-critique, and exerted a radical critique of the system he and Fidel personify. Here, again, evil is in the very critical gaze which perceives evil all around." I removed what triggered you. Do you get it now or do I have to hold your hand?

Reading comprehension is Stalinist.

Well it seems my mara gets his ass kicked in wzs. To be fair I was being focused by 4 different toons(who I assume were dps, hard to tell without stances), but he felt squisher than usual. Right now it doesn't feel the same. Ravage is now a meh filler, Gore seems kind of a letdown(should be affected by that ability that refunds rage and maybe deal 5-10% more damage, it's over 20% lower base than Furious Strike atm and I don't think that 100% AP will consistently make up that difference), and now I've got three things modifying a proc that should be two at the most imo. On the plus side the AP windows won't get blown trying to pull off a Ravage I guess. Not sure what to make of the other classes yet, the Op cleave looks dumb despite being more effective and the Vigilance Dispatch replacement feels kinda unnecessary(should've done something with Riptose instead imo). New loot system is dumb, the ease of PVP gearing was great and this will make it a pain in the ass. Only clear positive is the removal of those damn data crystals.

Zizek is a god damn god. Fidel was a nationalist who overthrew the US backed Batista. His opposition to capitalism was one of opprtunism to gain the support of the USSR. But yes, his choices after taking power were either be the bad guy or get killed and let Batista 2.0 take over.

Given the track record of the US, the alternative was getting replaced by a CIA puppet dictator. Sort of like Batista(who Castro overthrew) or Pinochet. While I wouldn't say Castro was good in the sense of being ideologically close to my ideal or good in practice, it's hard to imagine the alternative that wasn't as bad or worse.

Well I guess Fidel survived more assassination attempts than Tito, so that's something.

Yeah, well. You might have a different view of what independence is worth if your country had just wrested it from a colonial power when the next one starts trying to annex you. I've spoken to a lot of Cuban expats and while their conditions were bad enough to force them to leave, none of them regarded annexation by the US as desirable. something something propaganda something something brainwashing Except US annexation was not going to happen. Ever. Look up the Teller Amendment. The US guaranteed Cuban independence. The only concession they took was the land the naval base at Guantanamo Bay now sits on. For someone who doesn't trust the US government you seem to place an awful lot of trust in them abiding by agreements and not changing them.
