I think its a matter of a mistype myself. Someone referenced the wrong row/column in a database and intead of going for "Shield rating" it went for the cell right next to it "Surge". Im also not that happy with the response they gave at the guild summit. It sounded more like a "Yeah we know its bad, but the set that comes with 1.2 wont be, so we're not gonna fix it you'll just have to follow the dangling carrot instead". Which isn't the solution I was hoping for in the slightest. Ive got my full rakata set and it annoys me to no end that I'm still using the columi I got out of hardmode flashpoint farming and normal mode ops.

Im glad I wasn't the only person to immediately think this when someone mentioned combing the desert.

Not just rip em out, my Jedi Guardian's rakata tank armor has surge on it. What in the world would a tank need surge for? The only argument that can be made is for threat, which is fine except surge only comes into play on crits. I end up with about a 13% crit rating. If they wanted to give me threat wouldn't power be the better option? Not that I'd be happy with power either, Id rather have shield, defense, and absorption rating. Im hoping this gets taken care of when they fix the weapons, which if I recall is happening sometime shortly after 1.1.1 hits. I'm guessing that'll hit Tuesday, so hopefully not long after that. If I was a betting man, id bet it comes with the 1.2 PTR patch, they've said they wanna get that out by March, so for several weeks of solid testing we should see it on Test in the first or second week of February.

And put it on my ship... You don't need huge range, just enough room to break minimum range for abilities. Absolutely REQUIRED once we get our combat logs.

I'm afraid you may be wrong Walsh.

There was always one line that Lord Scourge mentioned when explaining this whole prophecy of his that stuck with me. "When you hold his power in your hands" I don't know, I just feel like there's definitely more than just the emperor not actually being completely gone to all this. The emperor obviously isn't gone, there are just too many clues pointing to his lurking around waiting to hop into a new body or get one of his various "children" to help bring him back...Then there's his body not matching the description, and the note to the sith warrior pretty much going "Yeah he ain't dead". I just feel like maybe my jedi knight's story isn't complete yet either. I really do hope they continue it, and all the other class stories really. This is one of the few MMO's where I actually care about whats going on, it'd be a shame if they didn't keep it rolling for us.

50 Jedi Guardian Used Kira as soon as I got her until I got Doc, then pretty much Doc from then on. Occasionally ill bust out Rusk, Scourge, or Kira again on a whim when I'm doing easy dailies, but I pretty much use Doc for everything that mattered. Having him around reduces MY downtime, which means my already slow killing is sped up in that I don't have to rest between fights like I normally do with any of the others. I think their best bet would be to turn ALL of our companions into some form of healer-hybrid. Kira's kinda built on a consular base, have her attacks have a chance to heal her and you. Rusk uses assault cannons, give him some commando-ish medic stuff. Scourge has his dark side drain...Keep Doc as the most dedicated of the healers, but give the other companions something. It'll smooth out low level difficulties and provide options at high levels. I really feel like everyone but Kira early on and Doc ends up just not getting enough face time with me. They should all be useful enough that you don't mind taking them out with you on occasion. Everyone will have their favorite obviously, but as it stands, T7 I didn't use beyond getting Kira, Kira I rarely used beyond getting Doc, and I never used Rusk or Scourge at all. I mostly feel sorry for Rusk, he's built up as this crazy soldier who just gets his squad hurt, and if I didn't decide to get his affection up after hitting 50 id never have any inkling of who he is beyond that...he's actually kinda interesting once you get to know him, but he's just not who you're gonna be bringing along with you once you get Doc, so you probably wont find out without showering him with military gear.
