I see what you mean, only reason was that I thought it would help me somewhat in PvP...but in truth it doesn't feel any advantage or difference. Maybe something like this?: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#400bsrbdMsRgzZbMZG.1 I'm open for more suggestions to be honest.

This is my build so far: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#400bsrbdMsRgzZbcr.1

Followthrough has quite the cooldown, so I use snipe and ambush when available. Series of Shots takes 20 energy away which is a lot to be honest and could bring me down to less than 60%. It's the waiting for energy that really screws me over. I use debuffs such as the armor reduction and use the DoT skill too and even with that it feels like it isn't enough. Also, if by build you mean my spec then I am completely Marksman, but I put some points in the Engineer tree to get the +10 additional energy for my bar.

This concern is more of PvE than PvP so here we go: I don't know about the rest of the snipers here, but I tend to have issues with running out of energy in PvE. This occurs when I need to dps a hard mode Flashpoint boss before the enrage timer goes off. I use all my heavy hitting abilities, then use adrenaline probe to get energy, but then I'm left with no energy and my dps just goes down quickly at the end. I tried using said abilities and then rifle shot, in order to prevent a huge chunk of energy wasted in a few short seconds., but feels like my dps isn't enough compared to when I'm bombing away with all my abilities. Usually the group I'm in kills the boss when the tank dies at 5% and it takes a few more shots to finish the fight. It's frustrating just standing there waiting for the energy to fill back, it's dps that could had been made during that time interval of the fight. Snipers have good damage dealing abilities, that I don't complain about, but the energy is what's killing me to be honest. Anyone have suggestions or ideas?

This is good news and progress. It's frustrating to just spam the cover key and see my character stand idle as the large mob is pounding away.

As sniper, I take huge chunks of damage, but I find myself running out of energy quick. Cover system is annoying...so I have to deal with that mostly.

The fact that each class has their story line is enough for me to re roll another class once I''m done with my current one. I''m taking this game nice and slow, reading the conversations and whatnot. I haven''t reached max level, but the story itself is engaging and immerses you.

While simplicity is beneficial, it could cause constraints on most players. Dependability for example would eventually become a requirement for these mods and add ons, thus becoming a filter for the player base. While simple macros can be agreed upon, anything else beyond that may hinder or seem "exploitable" to gameplay. Improvisation is always satisfactory since it requires player reaction and thinking with gameplay stimulus. This in turn gives a positive gameplay experience. While some may argue that it is required to maximize their potential and output, this as a result can turn into a feud about "Good vs Bad players" in these forums which is what we are all trying to avoid with this newly made game. As for my opinion, I believe a certain limit must be put if add ons and macros are to be allowed in this game in the future. We certainly wouldn't want to have our "beloved" Gearscore come around to this game now would we?

What worries me about being last is that I just saw the servers list and most that are East are either Full, heavy or very heavy. That does not bode well...unless Bioware plans to release even more servers tomorrow... That's my only worry...as far as for names and other things...I can come up with random names lol.

Pre ordered on Dec. 7, I feel the burn

Pre-ordered Dec. 7...nothing as of yet.

Oh great, a WoW Recount rip off...what's next Gearscore? <.<

I just hope this doesn't turn into a "Horde vs Alliance" issue... (-_-). As for me, I'm not sure yet.
