Engineer was actually designed to throw dets, as inspection of the source code for the class and weapon validates this. Therefore, engineer is truly what you claim a 'legit class', LandBeaver. Detrushing is not a bug, glitch or exploit. It's simply using TK-off to the players advantage. Therefore any negative opinions are simply stemming from player frustration, and is not an issue with the game.
The Dark Trooper is a 'legit class', but only when you use it without relying on DTG. I agree with Panama completely on this matter; those who resort to using DTG and claim it's there to use to your advantage are rationalizing the false truth of the game mechanics that they believe in. DTG was never meant to be in the game, and it has been proven that there is code in the game that does said glitch. In numerous testing {VA} has done, it was concluded that DTG is actually more than just a single bug; it is actually a global shot-delay bug that affects more than just the dark trooper class. In fact, it affects anything with a shot delay value attached to a property in the game. The code that we've patched is the cause of the bug, and consequently, was expunged from gameplay in our patch.
Those willfully accepting the fact that DTG is part of the game are fools, and more so for endorsing the use of a bug. Sure, Mandalore makes decent points that it helps to balance the seemingly horrible gameplay mechanics, but unlike CB, premature shots are a bug in the game. CB is an intended mechanic of the game. Think about it, it's common sense: block is suppose to block, right? What we see in the game is block that only works when you use CB. This is due to LucasArts pushing the devs for a rushed release, so as a result, yielded poor coding in the game engine. Unfortunately, some consider CB as a bug, when it shouldn't be. However, CB shouldn't provide 360 degrees of protection from all saber attacks. With that being said, I think we can all come to an agreement that that shouldn't be part of the blocking mechanism.
No matter how hard try hards try (no pun intended) to justify the use of DTG or any shot delay bug, they are abusing the game and they even go to the extent of ridiculing those who defy their 'ultra-secret tactic' of DTGing.
