It's a lot more than a small DPS drop. Your FA and Hammer shot suffer from using the blaster rifle. Let us use blaster rifles effectively, Bioware!

Thanks!

I don't know how much the sweep adds for an accuracy debuff, and I don't have any end game logs on my Guardian yet. I was just curious if, in anyone's experience, the debuff is actually useful against OPs bosses? Granted, even if it isn't useful against the boss there are adds in some fights where it probably still would be useful. I'm curious more than anything else.

I was in a few groups yesterday with my Guardian as the tank. most of my gear is Rakata/Blackhole, with a couple of columi pieces. Except my saber. My saber is still tionese level rating. In some fights (the first boss in EV HM), Full rakata geared players were pulling aggro off my left and right. I was using Pommel strike, and Guardian slash on cool down, and throwing everything think I could at the boss--but I just could not hold aggro--not even against the player who had my bubble. The only two things I think it could be at this point is either the low damage I get from the hilt, or my technique. (Or both!)

So there I was, trying to get to my Jedi ship for some good old meditation, and get some time away from those annoying sounds made by the healing probes s a scoundrels uses and BAMM...I'm stuck on the smuggler's ship. : (

I think the obvious answer is here both classes need to be able to use both guns with the same level of effectiveness.

Have you checked the Cartel Market? Armor in there specifically doesn't change per side, and they're using it to give players access to cross faction style looking gear.

It has been suggested before, but there could be a very easy way to buff our AoE healing in a non-game breaking manner. Give Kolto Bomb two separate icons, one of which targets a person for the AoE point, and the other of which targets the ground. (The icons would share a CD, have the same costs, and out, etc) I think our biggest limiting factor isn't the amount it heals, but how clunky it feels to use. It would enable faster use, and allow us extra time to hammer shot.

Eliminator is what it will be called most of the time. But really, just look at the set bonuses. Only one set bonus mentions both attacks.

Ahh. That makes sense. Thanks!

Crafted 26/27 Armorings do not have a set bonus, right? So if you want to wear these *and* keep a set bonus you're pretty much stuck using rakata or earlier shells?

I'm about to level my next class, and I'm really torn between a Scoundrel and a Sage. I will level as healing, and probably deck out HK from the get go. Has anyone here leveled a sage and a scoundrel for healing? Which do you prefer to use in PvE, and why?

You can gain access to a charge or a pull to help close range.

Will the ability to user different weapon types ever be made available through the Cartel Market or Legacy? (Bounty Hunters with Assault Cannons, Scoundrels with Blaster Rifles, etc)

Are these Heroic in the sense that they are more challenging. Or Heroic in the sense that a group of people needs to do them together? Thanks!

You're forgetting about all the NEW credit sinks that will be appearing. Namely, all those items from cartel packs that people do not want, and choose to place up on GTM. Credits will still very much be a part of economy--it's just that most items will have a fixed Cartel Coin cost, and a variable Credit cost based on demand found on the server.

House?

The space ship is an instanced section right? So we can do it solo and enjoy the atmosphere?

You have to do some 4 man heroics. You can probably find some folks to help carry you through.

Two things to consider: 1. SWTOR has extended the re subscription bonus to December. 2. Guild Wars 2 is doing a one time exclusive event this weekend along with their 4 day free trial. I'm sure many people will stop by at some point to spend their cartel coins--but I don't anticipate a huge day zero rush.

All I know is they both have backpacks..and I'm sooo tired of backpacks. : ( I'm hoping I find a sweet "bounty hunter" chest piece on the cartel store instead.

I would shell out cartel coins for a trooper outfits that: 1. Don't have a backpack! Well over 2/3rds of our orange outfits have backpacks. 2. Uses two dark colors on the chest piece, instead of having one always be white or yellow. It'd be nice to created a darker trooper outfit that actually makes sense from a camo standpoint.

Gunnery Commando is the exact same as Arsenal Merc.

Just curious if anyone is using our third three at all for end game PvE content these days. I recently came back and the grav round sound effect is driving me up the wall...it might just be enough to make me go Assault...

1. I am sorry for that error. 2. I do not care where you stand. If you think this about how much damage we do, then you do not understand what this post is about. Let's be clear here, all CC's can be initiated out of combat. The difference is that some CCs initiate combat when used. (Like ours, and Sages) While some CCs do not initiate combat and are used from stealth.(Scoundrel/Shadow Sap), CC initiates combat when used. (And cannot be used IN combat, respectively.)
