Class reps are just like our politicians. They promise mountains made of gold for us, but in the end, whenever they can they try to push their own agenda.

How the hell did we bring in on ourselves? If zos was competent in balance they would have gone a different route. This is on them not us!

That's an "if" that didn't, and wasn't ever going to work out.
Shouldn't this poll have waited until after the new DLC goes live ... you know ... when the change to sloads also goes live?
I love sloads and have lots of experience using it in pve (soloing group content). The change to sloads might seem minor just reading about it, and maybe you won't notice much difference on a test dummy parse (which doesn't represent actual gameplay anyway). However, the truth of the matter is that the nerf is more of a nerf than you think.
Disclaimer: I am making the assumption that sloads behaves in pvp the way it does in pve.
I won't go into the details here with regard to why I say this (since I already did that a bit ago in some other post). The bottom line is that it procs a lot less often ... so much so that it's effectiveness is just about cut in half.

So you use sloads in pve as a benchmark for it's capability in pvp?

Oh give me a break. I put a big bold disclaimer about my assumption that sloads behaves in pvp the way it does in pve. I'm talking about sloads behavior, NOT player behavior. I wasn't benchmarking anything and I never said I was. I simply gave my observations regarding sloads behavior (how often it procs) on live vs. on pts. My comments were my observations, take it or leave it, but don't twist it into something it's not. I have better things to do with my time than to engage in a round of 'forum pvp.'
As a side note - I generally go over my fight data in detail (Combat Metrics) and I don't mean by simply looking at the summary page, I dig a lot deeper than that. Also, with the upcoming change you can actually see each time sloads procs, including who or what got hit with it ... including when it procs from ground based AOE damage.
