  1. Anyone know what the prerequisite is for the +4 Presence Datacron on Voss? I can't interact with it. Edit: I was either bugged last night or I had to complete the Project Chimera quest and then it worked.
  2. Haha, sorry I don't go around reading all your posts, nice try though. <3 Anyway, I see your point and dropped Crash and all but 1 point in Battle Cry.
  3. You don't have to use it right away, literally your next Scream is free of charge. You'll want to use it often anyway, it's nice to have damage mitigation free of charge somewhere close to the beginning of a fight. What do you like more for Tier 1 talents, Quake?
  4. You don't exactly know if you're at the top of the table because there's no real way to tell. A person has to be at 130% more threat than you to pull it off so they could have generated more threat than you but not enough to pull aggro. My point is, it MAY not be wasted. I'm not saying use it on cool down but maybe use the single target taunt a couple times, preemptively, on a long fight.
  5. More info from that thread... http://sithwarrior.com/forums/Thread-Threat-***-is-going-on?pid=12665#pid12665 "Well taunt puts you at the same threat as someone else (who had 130% more then you in order to pull from range), who now has to get another 30% on top on of his previous threat to get the mob off of you. I call that "stealing" threat, but it's really semantics. My point was that when you're at the start of the fight 30% of your threat is maybe 2-3 abilities, but a minute in it's a ton of threat, so threat tends to only be an issue at the start. It also means that it's to your advantage to try to delay using a aoe taunt for trash, so long as you can do it without the dps dying, so that you can get relatively high threat on everything. For example on aoe packs I usually rush in, smash, do sweeping+enrage, then build rage as I start loosing most of the pack, and aoe taunt +ragedump after I've let the dps do some decent aoe damage. It's not perfect but you can hold most of the aoe packs most of the time this way. As for gearing for threat - personally I've just stuck to the default sets up to now (out of lazyness), columni, and now 4/5 rakata, which includes some accuracy (ok) and surge (which is really worthless to a jugg). I'm biochem so if I really feel the need for threat I switch to the +str stim. Since juggs get no +crit chance or damage talents in the standard tank spec, I'd stack power for threat since crit/surge work best when you already have a fair bit of both along with talents that involve crit/crit damage. PTs however get some +crit and +crit damage talents which probably makes crit/surge better for you. Hard to tell how exactly without dps meters. One thing I don't know - does guard reduce threat from range or not? I've always assumed that it only works in short range, which makes it nearly worthless on ranged in most fights."
  6. Where did you get this information? Another thread on a sithwarrior.com states something different, it's quoted below. "Also when you taunt you do not "steal" the other persons threat, you only match who ever is on the top of the treat list. These taunts also add a 6 second permenant aggro onto you, so its best to follow up a taunt with some burst damage to solidify your threat." Your statement doesn't make sense anyway since if you use taunt more often and you keep aggro, you won't lose it. Does anyone have a more official word on how taunt actually works?
  7. You don't even need to run flashpoints to get orange gear, you'll get some drops and quest rewards that are orange. Then use the mods you get from quest rewards or commendations to keep your gear current. Do all the quests and heroics you can on a planet along with the bonus series quests. You'll get decent quest reward gear. When you get to a new planet, check out the equipment commendations vendor and see what's a good upgrade for you. Make sure you take commendations as quest rewards as often as you can (when you don't have to gear your pet or yourself). You really shouldn't have this much trouble. Also, Immortal is fine for tanking.
  8. Just curious, what form do you use while tanking DarthSponge?
  9. You are either using the wrong spec or you're not using all of the abilities that you could be using. Tanking is challenging, I feel like I literally have to use 3/4 of my abilities in order to tank effectively along with switching targets often. I definitely do NOT feel underdeveloped, but I'm not sure what you meant by that.
  10. It's going to be a very different thing for melee when the resolve system is fixed. The devs have metrics on dps and I'm fairly confident that we're tuned appropriately in terms of damage. It makes sense that we have more sustained dps in comparison to a melee operative, they are a stealth class and typically stealth classes have more burst. The main thing they have going for them is they also have a decent amount of cc. If anyone has played past the first 3 months in an mmo, they should know that at some point, combat gets fixed and what was once weak is now very powerful. I feel that a lot of people cannot see what is sure to come in the future - balancing, something that has happened in every other mmo on the market. If anything, the community as a whole should be asking for the resolve system to be fixed instead of asking for buffs. Then we'll see how truly "broken" the class is.
  11. I'd drop the 2 bleed skills, Eviscerate and Draining Scream, they do terrible damage - 133 & 200. I'd pick up Savagery (crits = burst) and Improved Sundering Assault (less armor in less hits) at the very least. I'm sure other people will have opinions about your remaining 10 spec points after the 31 in Veng. Hope this helps.
  12. Wow. Even though I don't have plans to play the Republic side anytime soon, I have to agree the armor looks horrid. I wouldn't want to wear it either. I think that the art director/team need to not take this personally, admit that it's not visually appealing, and make something better soon. They've done some great work and they can definitely improve this.
  13. I was thinking about respecing anni and I'm glad I saw this stream. I think it better fits my playstyle. Good stuff Stamp.
  14. I found another entrance near the Industrial sector, it's in a mainly Imperial area.
  15. Yea I ran into this today as well. Anyone know how to do this heroic or do the devs not want us to yet?
