Who cranks more damage ?

Could you pls link that build it's not in the guides here

Could you elaborate on that please

I will soon be 50 and need to know if I should change, I keep reading this is bad is a bad spec tell me why pls

1. Both are the best stories in the game IMO with IA being the better of the two as smuggler loses its way after chapter 2 but then most of the stories in game do due being bolted awkwardly into the larger main story arch. 2. depends if you’re talking mechanics both sides are fine although the personalities of the individual companions sometimes clash for me, example Corso Riggs is a wanna be hero I am a small time crook out to make a fast buck so choices I make don't sit well with him. Kaliyo is an anarchist and I am a field op trying to keep a low profile. all the pets make me wish they had a shut up button there is only so many times you can you can hear Kaliyo's battle before you turn the sound off. 3 depends on advanced class but nothing quite beats the satisfying crunch of a nut shot. 4 Both are great and both suit there intended character IA as a preference as he is one smooth...Shut your mouth I'm just talking about IA. 5. IA is not forced to be evil you can be if you wish or not the same goes for Smuggler I chose to RP my IA think of him as a professional trying to do a job with min effort and max outcome sometimes I would shoot a guy other times I would spare them this left me kind of grey as far as LS/DS but I had fun with it. Smuggler I played as a crook on the make I wasn't evil but I wasn't exactly good either.

Get ready for a lot of wailing and nashing of teeth about "clicking" I thought that was good although you could have avoided a lot dot damage by blowing Dodge

I was hoping for the best of both worlds pve and pvp with the upfront burst from instant cast Charged Burst and 1.5s cast Aimed Shot mixed dots from Shock Charge and Blazing speed proc and a increase in ae damage. I realize that I am giving up a lot From SS and incendiary grenade which is a great ability in my mind compared to Rapid Fire. I am addicted to the compact burst damage of instant cast Charged Burst and 1.5s of Aimed shot. but I love the toys in Saboteur and the ae damage. Energy management I was hoping to achieve by means of mixing in Flurry of Bolts into my rotation along with Hot pursuit and the use of Sabotage for to reset Cool Head.

Thx but I have read the stickies and was looking for a bit more feed back than this is fail.

Low energy Cool Head blow shock charge for reset of Cool head. I am new at this so your opinions are welcome.

Cover is both a help and a hindrance you need to move around but at the same time while out of cover Gunslingers are extremely vulnerable the class is really based around learning to use cover effectively that said Gunslingers only real defence is no one paying any attention to them all the tools in your bag don't do much to save you unless you get some help from your team mates fast for this reason you need to run with a group but lag slightly behind the group as anything melee will melt your face. If you’re looking for a ranged lone wolf type character try a vanguard this class is not it. Expect people to seek you out and look for an easy kill on you. The huttball is death you are not a carry and should get rid of it asap That’s all the bad the good news is your damage is superb and if you can get away with it you will melt people nicely.

Its because BH is the mirror to Trooper and at around chapter 3 all classes story's loose there uniqueness and get bolted into the galaxy at war main story. For the first 40 levels they tell you your a free agent then chapter 3 comes along and your flag waving patriot no matter what you do. I had the same thing with my smuggler and it nearly killed the story for me.

Hi my only interest is playing through the Sith Warrior story and I have no long term plans to play the class so what I would like to know is what would be the best way to go to level quickly. Should I go Juggernaut or marauder and what spec would you advise.

Pug Hero’s OMG they got the ball /ragequit OMG they caped a gun /ragequit OMG they planted a bomb /ragequit OMG you guys suck your all noobs continue with 15 mins of abuse towards team. Finish match 2nd from bottom on score board. Sneaky buffer I just came into get my buff’s /logout The pug hive mind They scored now we are 1-0 down let’s just give up and focus on kills while they constantly score. They got past the first door let’s just give up and now and not bother to defend. 2 Go left rest mid = All run mid. Marked healer Kill him = ignore big target thing continue to whack amole thing in front of us it will die it must die some time right… They have mid and we have left let’s keep funnelling into mid even though that’s their strongest defended point and we have failed to take it 5 times now all we have to do is keep pushing and they will break eventually. Crowd control is for noobs we can cap the door on brute force alone it hasn’t worked so far but there is still a minute on the clock so it’s totally doable. This is my experience of PVP and the things people say anyone got any more?

I gave up trying to level as concealment around level 36 for 2 reasons i. the game has you mostly fighting packs of mobs ii. damage was poor due to being reliant on the stealth opener. I geared up Vector and switched to heals and my levelling path became very smooth right to the end because of the dps he puts out which much higher than any of the other pets. I feel that Dr Lokin was a missed chance, I believe that there was a idea to have a pet that could either heal or do damage on a toggle but I suspect that the idea got canned in the end as his current implentation doesn't work imo. Kaliyo v Scorpio Kaliyo is by far the better tank. Kalio has a better skill set and is easier to gear up. ensign Temple's damage is poor and she is too squishy imo.

Can you explain that I don't understand what your talking about. I didn't hate Vector he was a intresting character and very strong melee dps.

My favorite story so far has been Smuggler, which has some great dialogue and some very funny moments. I have also played JC JK Trooper I am currently playing through BH after which there will only be 2 more classes to go before I quit the game.

finished playing a IA operative and it has been the 2nd best story in the game so far for me. There are twists and turns and it is very well written. Play it to the end I dare you not to love it. In short bad pve class Really great story

You have made a great game I like it a lot but what is going to kill this game for me is balancing cycles. After about 10 years of playing MMO's I think I can safely call myself a veteran of the genre and in most of these games there have been balance cycles of nerf>buff>nerf>buff etc.. These kill classes and builds which end up making people bitter and rage quit. Please Do Not Balance Around PVP Balancing to make the PVP crowd happy is bad the reason for this people who PVP are never happy. If they get beat then it wasn't there fault it was because Chiropractor's Summon Magic Unicorn is op and there Octogenarian Grandma's Use Bus Ticket ability is under powered. So you nerf Summon Magic Unicorn which is the main ability in Chiropractor's rotation and the the main ability in the Cloud Fairy tree for Chiropractor and then buff Use Bus Ticket for Octogenarian Grandma. Now every Octogenarian Grandma shuts up because the are now top of the food chain while Chiropractor's struggle to get groups because no one wants them meanwhile Creepy School Janitors are still out in the cold hoping for one day when they will get there push mop ability fixed and they can tank again. (never going to happen no one has played them since patch 1.6) Nerfing for PVP is nerfing for PVE because there is no disconect bettween the two. This is a hard trinity game if you nerf healing or tanking spec's in one field you nerf them in all. Please Think of the children for the love of god someone please Think of the children! NO Don't Think of Them instead ignore them they don't know what they want and have very little idea what they are talking about. Fix what's broken & add new stuff but don't rebalance every patch, what I am really asking for here is have a clear Idea for what you want a class to be and leave it at that. Creepy School Jaintor fo lyfe

Welcome to a MMO forums where people love to cry over nothing much, scream that someone else's class is op and there class needs a buff or a dungeon encounter is too hard when its more often than not that they just didn't understand what to do. Unless something is really broken just ignore most of what you read.

I could use some help what I am doing is AB>HS>BS>CD>L>L(if proc)>S>BS>L>L(if proc)>S I don't seem to have enough burst I get people down to a third then I run out of steam can someone tell me what I am doing wrong please.

As I don't really care about endgame because I am playing through the game just to see all the stories I do a lot of 10-49 pvp it's good money and decent xp with the cherry on top of free orange gear for me and my pets. To people who Rage quit I have this to say You are screwing yourself over, yes you’ve lost and they have won but that doesn't matter you will still get XP cash and commendations for gear if you play through till the end which make it worthwhile. What really wins warzone's is team work and the team the works more effectively is often the one that wins. If your team is playing like Muppets go for kills get your medals that’s fine but always you should start out by trying to be a team player. Communicate call out enemy healers. Call incoming but do it early not after you’re dead. Hutball Don't give up because you are 0-1 a lot of the time if you try you can equalize and even win. I have played over a hundred Hutballs and I can tell you that you can turn it around. Some advice I would like to give is run with the ball and don't be a hero pass the ball when things start to get heavy. One last thing Don’t take it seriously Have fun win or loose you gain.

Why can't I look like the security key vendor Tamin on Republic fleet that guy looks cool and that is the look that sold me on the smuggler class instead I look like a burk in a cape or the new stuff that has me convinced that someone at Bioware is secretly laughing at me.

I think Kaliyo appeals to the people who take the dark side choices that make you look like a Sociopath stupid unfocused cruelty you get a lot of those choices as a sith. I shock you with lighting because it's funny look at how evil I am *twirls moustache menacingly* This to my mind is the only reason why I have her as a pet because trying to play as a utilitarian spy my only thought is why haven't I shot this person yet before she betrays me.

I have played 3 toons up to 50 all of them were mostly light side and received the heroic ending what I want to know is did it matter at all that I made those light side choices or would I have still got the same ending if I had gone completely dark.

[As this is after page 4 I will probably not get a answer to this but I will try anyway] Does anything you do ultimately matter to the ending. I went total light side and got the hero of the day blah blah blah speech but after watching some vids on youtube I'm starting to wonder if any of the choices made any difference at all to that ending and would I have got it had I gone completely dark can anyone tell me?
