Posted 1/3/2012 1:05:17 AMLove the show. Can you guys address Tanking at some point with the different classes. I've got a 35 Juggernaut and it's #$%#$%$ to keep threat. I've heard from Bounty Hunter Tanks that they don't have the same issue. So I intially thought it was L2P issue on my part so i started doing some research and asking other higher level tanks of different classes and almost all the Juggernauts were having the same issues I was while the BH and Inquisitors wern't. This wasn't universal of course, but there does seem to be a big issue with Juggernaut threat generation in comparison with other tanking classes. It's not impossible to do just a lot more difficult in comparison to other classes. I know a lot of people will say that's good and it needs to be difficult, play anothere class if you can't do it etc.... But I think that attitude is bad for the game as a whole. The typical person will assume that a Sith Warrior is the class to roll to be a tank, please note I said "typical". If people get frustrated and/or other people in their groups get frustrated with them people will just not roll the class which could lead to a tank shortage. Working that hard to tank when you see other classes not having to work as hard will also lead to quicker burnout. Sorry for the wall of text, but I was really looking forward to tanking on my Juggernaut and I dont want it to become a job and not fun.

Posted 12/22/2011 3:35:45 AM*** Warning Drinking With Dover Strikes Again ***
Typing notes during podcast.... Probably gonna be a long post.
Sleeper - bummer about banned Futtbucker on launch - the funniest thing i saw durring beta with danger zone. Nice work brah. Gotta say i rolled around NS for a while jumping on my mock speeder to danger zone.
I think Zack unintensionally nailed why i have not been that into xmas this year - coz im already playing TOR. What else do i really want?
Dover - u only need the 1st 3 abilities to use a bh - just get the upgrades and u still steamroll. Yeah I hate Hutta too. Decapitate is the only good bit.
IA story is epic but BH story is badass - u need to listen to the ia quests, but if u watch the important parts of the bh story and space the rest its still the same.
Nar Shadaar>Balmora>Bonus Series>Suicide>Taris. Nar Shadaar is a fluro red light district version of Coruscant - why the hate?
Sam - during Esseles I was dark on my consular and i chose dark in the engineering bit and someone said "what, why? What's wrong with you!" lol
Sleeper, during the beta i used to be driving and just randomly say to myself "Futtbuckers" and just piss myself laughing for like 30 mins.
Justin - I found with the op u gotta CC early and sleep dart an add before engagement
<< IA OP no KB. Sucks bad.
Justin - dont have to tone down force leap for huttball, just have to get ranged nubs to stop trying to farm kills from near the inzone
Yeah SI is OP if they steamroll with KB
Pete - Korriban>Hutta. Would roll 10 sith over another IA or BH
Queue times? Bro seriously? I play on the swiftsure coz of guild placement and have had 2.5hr queues. 1 of the guys in my guild watched the 1st & 2nd LotR movies then waited 10mins before hed jumped the queue. 6hrs. Not Cool. Oceanic placement screwed a couple up bigtime.
Dover - The Swiftsure is the main PvP Oceanic guild because of the daisy chain the guilds put together for an oceanic communitee on US servers. My server - pain in the ass. Lucky i have a Razer keyboard and can macro my way to no queues.
Server queue bypass depends on how the client crashes. If ur lucky, you are queless, if not, u got to wait. If your game starts to crash and you panic reset ur pc, you get dumped back in the start of the queue, but if ur client crashes to windows properly you might bypass the server queues. DONT ALT F4!
Dover - The bugs in this launch have been very minor compared to many other launches - the main issue i have had is the server pop on the (unofficial) oceanic servers. Im not sure whether they did not expect aussies & kiwis were interested in the game or whether they just did not want to expendature into an unknown area. Or our shitty broadband restricts too much over RL distances... whatever.
LoL. Casuals = Employed? Maybe, but i need that cash to play.
What?! Are they still not agnowledging the pvp leave group bug? They think the only thing people are interested in is xp, but if u exploit the bug you can farm commendations to no end? Tunnel vision FTL!
Focus target is NOT the same as ToT.
no comment, too tired, but great cast guys.
lol "it's so big"
i'm out.
banned......
