Maruader begins to shine around 30 for me. Being anni-specced you can deal out ridiculous amounts of damage as long as your properly geared and have a good skill rotation. Major thing is to know when to use cloak of pain/saber ward. Several of the abilities are pvp/pve and I swap them on/off my two lower bottom bars. I also hotkey the basic attack to E and take it off the bottom bar. I save a quickbar slot and it saves time once your used to it. I just got a sniper to the mid-30's and he's a major disappointment in solo PvE capability. His basic attacks pale in comparison and his damage mitigation capabilities are horribly weak in comparison.

That would be me. As someone who finished the BH class story line it's about the easiest class to solo next to sorc/consular. So when your QQ about Mako it's laughable. All you can focus on is you. Not once in your self-rationalization do you consider the needs of the people you happen to be grouped with. Yeah I wouldn't expect you to lose any sleep over anything. As for people who post loot rules should be discussed before starting a FP: Fine. But the default understanding should be need before greed with need restricted to main toons only.

You are oh so very wrong. Hope you enjoy being blacklisted by players with a sense of decency and courtesy to other players.

What do you think will happen when ME3 is released?

swtor UI sucks. The two bottom bars become inadequate in the mid 30's and the left/right bars are too far if you need to quickly click on an ability. It's the same UI from vanilla WoW. At least I had the option of using my own UI mods in WoW.

Are people arguing about this again? Look if you roll need on an item your not going to wear on your main toon your a dbag. Someone posted it's ok since a companion is not an alt. Actually companions are worse than alts. At least alts have the possibility of becoming a main. A companion is a dispensable trash seller who becomes useless when the class story ends.

Anyone that unsubscribes gets asked to fill a survey as to why they quit.

Maybe because everyone sees Blizz making money hand over fist since 2004 and wants a piece of the action?

Yes it's all a Jedi mind trick.

The number of people in Fleet and out in the worlds has dropped on my server. That's on both Imps and Rep since I have toons on both.

People are not unhappy with the game on their first playthrough. It's usually during their 2nd and definitely by the 3rd playthrough where they begin to notice the repetitiveness of the world design. Even the class storylines adhere too closely to each other in terms of structure. Your not at the endgame yet but I don't see many people excited by it.

Dead cat bounce.

Just spent an hour on my "heavy" server. 80 people at Imp Fleet. 30 people at Taris. Peeked on rep Fleet, a 100. That's a complete joke for a "heavy" server pop. When I first started playing in early Jan Fleet pop was easily 170+ on both sides.

The point of stripping naked is so you don't lose durability on your equipment. That is the only penalty for death in the game; repair costs. You also misunderstand the point of the exploit. It's not to kill one mob at a time. It's to bypass entire rooms of mobs just by suicide running past them with no intention of ever killing them. You only hit the 10 min mark after dying at least 3 times in a row in a short period.

If you are dying so frequently then your doing something wrong. Death in the game is already trivialized as it stands. If you want another example of how your 2 min timer can be exploited I could take a group into a FP, everyone strips naked, and then run through the mobs using stuns/slows because it would be faster to reach the bosses then to fight the actual mobs.

Any of the "major" planet quest chains that you pick up cannot be abandoned. Those are the ones where the quest giver is standing right outside the spaceport and progress along each zone of a world.

If there were no death timers you could trivialize a significant amount of content. For example any quests that requires you to go from point A to B could be defeated by stripping naked and running/dying through the mobs. I beat a Heroic 2+ in Belsavis doing this after realizing I coudn't solo 3 gold-elites at once as a tank class. I reread the quests notes and gambled that I didn't have to actually kill any mobs. It worked.

To each his own. I would rather wait 20-30 min to get on a server bustling with people than to log on with no wait on a dead server.

If people skip boarding party-foundry or Taral V-Maelstorm Prison they are only cheating themselves out of the few standout FPs in the game.

You can pull him out as a companion and feed him to the mobs. Unfortunately he keeps popping back.

The swtor charitable donation fund... has it come to that?

My problem? You mean it's my problem that Bioware chooses to setup too many servers and offers no way out short of rerolling? It's my problem Bioware isn't monitoring their server pop to ensure a good gaming experience?

Yeah like I really want to replay the same content I've seen multiple times.

Not when your playing on a server with hardly anyone around you.

Have fun playing by yourself.
