We did 16 man hm ev last night. Pylons dropped no Rakata. We also did 16 man hm kp Thrasher and twins. The twins dropped no Rakata.

/sigh Somehow, I just KNEW this would be the first response. Its not about trust. In 16 man, there is a good chance two of the same token will drop. If two people need the token, and you are running need/greed, its easy for one guy to end up with both items. We use ML to avoid this possibility. Let me offer you a bit advice: Anytime you do, say, or type something, say to yourself, "Am I being a dick? If this were done, said, or typed to me, would I think the originator of the action was a dick?" If the answer is, "Yes," don't do, say, or type it.

Bug, I think. Anyone else notice this?

But USELESS for the FOUR other things you use: Affliction Wrathed Crushing Darkness Wrathed Chain Lightning or Creeping Terror Death Field Alacrity SUCKS and we're stuck with it unless we downgrade or get the mythical Advanced Adept Enhancement drop.

I want these so bad. Is it the schema that drops or the enhancement itself?

You have to eat soa's balls.

Proposed solution: Click button anywhere, ship picks you up in 10 seconds. 1 Load screen. On ship, pick destination. You can choose 1 of 2 routes. 1. The "safe" hyperspace route that takes 5 minutes. During this time, you can play Pazzaak or Holo chess with your crew, help them craft via some minigame, try out different specs via a combat simulator, or take a whiz. 2. The "quick" hyperspace route that takes 30 seconds, but with a chance that you get ambushed and need to do one of the Star Fox minigame like things. Once complete, you click the rear door and end up in the bottom-most hanger.

Very annoying. I think what we really want is a few Advanced Adept Enhancements. Where do they come from? Schema drops from HM EV and KP?

And where to find them... Basically you are saying in order to be optimal for PVE you need to get all your rakata gear AND a bunch of battlemaster gear, if the BM gear has what you think it does. If not, you are stuck downgrading lvl 58 mods to lvl 56 mods. Actually, I just looked a t the BM gear... its full of alacrity too, and has little surge. So where do we get lvl 58 mods with surge?

Oh look, someone on the internet who doesnt know what hes talking about, yet cant resist the urge to blurt out an insult. Your teachers must have loved you.

Has too much Alacrity and not enough Surge for DPS spec.

Yeah, I know that, i was just using FL spam as a way of generally comparing the two so I didnt have to spend forever doing the same calcs for every spell and figure out how often they get use din rotation etc etc. I just picked the one we cast the most. Anyway, that is some sweet info and a sweet idea. I will def respec and try this. Wont be until tuesday until I can hit Karrags again, but, well, thanks again for the good idea.

So, 2 points in reserves over 2 points in induction. So, some basic analysis: FL costs 30 force per cast. The two points in induction would save you 1.8 force per cast. Assuming all you do is spam force lightning you need to cast FL 55 times for the 2 points in induction to be better than the 2 points in reserves. Assuming no alacrity, thats a 166 second fight. Hmn, but I havent considered Sith Efficacy. Does it return 5 force points/tick without reserves and 6 force points with? If so, without reserves, FL "costs" 30 * 0.91 - 4 * 5 = 7.3 per cast, and with reserves, it costs 30 * 0.97 - 4 * 6 = 5.1 per cast. Making reserves MUCH better.... Is this what you meant? If so... GOOD CALL....

Please fix.

So far its looking to me like the answer is Lighting Barrier for EV, when I need to pause and run around and/or get hit alot, and Reserves for Karraga's where I actually seem to run OOF.... Any anecdotes/theorycrafts/opinions?

Yup, very annoying.

Regarding Lightning tree and force pool problems: Once you hit 30% crit or so, you have nearly infinite force. Plenty to get you up to any enrage timer.

All rakata weapons are like this. Known bug

Well obviously you need to bring 8 dps. Then you'd only need to do 1575 dps, duh. Jk, that sounds like it sucks.

Our first run against Soa, we wiped a bunch towards the end. Decided to give it a couple days so DPS could gear up a bit. Next morning I log in, fly back from the Shadow, walk around the promenade a bit, and suddenly drop dead. Lulz.

I thought sorcs are supposed to hide by the pole near the endzone, and then Extricate the ball carrier when he gets close.

Except she has a white woman's feet and calves. Makes sense.

Lvl 50 Sith Inquistor with Khem Vhal.

Agreed, I wanted to join Malgus too.
