One request for the talent builds: Breaking them down every 5-10 levels. I'm leveling a Sorc now following the Agressive healing path posted (30/9/2), and I know the first 5 should be spent on lightning, but what about after that? finish Lightning? Get the two in Madness? Or go Corruption then?

God, none of you understand the development life cycle of programs at all. Disgusting.

Never bought stuff off Auction House for my companion, but it doesn't show a comparative tooltip for them even with the option enabled? Like it does for any other item in inventory / quest reward? Though I agree, I would prefer being able to look for armor by the slot it goes in, not JUST the fact that it's heavy armor.

Saber -> Leap -> Force Scream -> Smash -> Sunder -> Backhand -> Kick/Hilt Then rotate slashes / force scream / smash as they come off CD, rage dump into Vicious Strikes.

In terms of a proper non *** reply: Remember that the section of Bioware that made this game is housed in Austin, TX, which puts them in the CST time zone (-6:00 GMT). They're going to time stuff around their own down times (i.e. early morning in Texas). All servers must go down at the same time, because they're not going to allow servers that are NOT for the Test Realm to have different versions of the game out (i.e. patch at different times). Because of this, while it's a less than ideal time for you, it makes sense for where they are at, and the desire to have the same / similar experience across servers / locations means that EVERYTHING comes down at the same time.

Everything I have seen has said that RE'd 48-49 gear is comparable to, if not better, than Rakata stuff, especially if you crit on the craft for an extra slot. Just be prepared for all of the time / resources it would take to RE stuff over & over.

To qualify I'm still on Nar Shaddaa so I haven't found gotten Jaesa yet But so far I really enjoy Vette -- she is funny, a blast to talk with, and honestly I think she's corrupting somewhat under my sith Influence because I swear I hear her laughing during battle. I keep thinking she's like Mission Vao from KotoR, but she just is nowhere near annoying unlike Mission.
