You have to have your timing right. If you don't interrupt at the beginning of the minion's cast, you might not get your interrupt in time to shock it. The "adds" at the beginning are easily avoided if you do not wander too close to the hallway into the next room. Stay back and don't dance around too much and you shouldn't die to them cause you pulled too many mobs. This flashpoint is crazy easy. If you can't do it properly, it isn't the fp's problem.

Does it generate upper hand? I'm arguing with a fellow scoundrel about this, but I thought all HoTs generate upperhand now....

You missed a snipe there. It should be Shatter Shot > Snipe > Snipe > FT > Ambush > FT > SoS > FT > Takedown > FT.

I'll give you a nickel if you name it "Evil Hogwarts".

Bravado. Ten energy for two points is a bigger waste than 310 hp per second self healing in cover. If only I didn't need to spend five points to get to Independent Anarchy.....

Still a work in progress, no stim, and my rotation was off badly at times. I'm not sure why it started off oddly either. I really can't seem to get flyby into my parses cause it breaks combat weirdly. I'm not sure what is up with that. I'll be parsing along, drop a flyby and it ends combat during the dot and then picks back up. Any idea why this is happening? On another note, I just found the statistics on torparse and have been pleasantly surprised by what I've seen and the showing of my buddy Incandia. I'm so proud, he's outdps-ing me sometimes.

My HPS is better than yours.

These guys raid nearly every day. Awesome bunch of guys and girls!

Hmmm, I hit vital shot? I must have been reaching for BV and hit it. Yeah, there's no way to get flyby into my parse in this situation cause it causes too much load on the 4g device. I've been trying since your post and it breaks the parses and then lags me badly. I'll post again later from home. Swapped into the alacrity skill, kept the self-heals. The first AS should be the only one hardcast due to using the old opener rather than doubling up CB prior to the first SS. I need to resist the SS and just drop a second CB into the opener. Most other missed double CB instances are dropped casts due to lag. (You'll see some triple casts too cause of that. )

Sasa on 4g wireless. Yeah, roughly 652ms lag and still decent numbers. I'll parse again later on when I'm on a real connection. My slightly atypical build.

Ugh, all the gunslingers running the hybrird make me sad. One of these days I'll figure out how to crop my parses and I'll share what I do as a pretty much pure SS Gunslinger.

I really want to join a Gank Squad. That would be an awesome guild name.

Ugh. Time to break the ceasefire. You shall all suffer. Christmas is off.

Seriously, the Chevin event was a bloody week. One bloody week. Why waste your resources like this Bioware? It really turns off casuals and makes the game more of a job than it needs to be.

Yeah, at level 50 having only 25 quest spots available can be a tricky situation.

Seriously? It takes about 2 weeks to level up in this game from 1 to 50. It isn't elitism, its just reality.

Thanks I was repeatedly getting the "SWTOR.COM is undergoing maintenance" page when I tried to get to that.

Where are the patch notes?

Hello Ebonites, My guild, the Galactic Fairy, has been running world boss hunts on Coruscant and Taris quietly since our conception. We've learned a few things: 1. No matter how well you describe what tactics you need to do, people don't listen. SidZero requires people who are tied together with lightning to disperse and back away from group. People just don't do it. The Taris boss causes poisonous gas that hurts worse than an at-level, or even well above level, can heal through. But people love to stand in the stupid. 2. One bad seed will ruin the crop. You know, that one guy who goes afk and causes Subject Alpha to attack because he was far too close to the route the boss walks. The guy who doesn't wait for SidZero to walk his path before trying to run to the other ramp. It happens far too often. 3. People are greedy. They need on gear they don't need but it seems silly to set master looter on a pickup group. We're a friendly bunch, we don't want to appear to be the bad guys. 4. Arfour is always dead. I'm not sure why but this guy always seems to be camped. We'd love to expand our guerilla concerts, I mean boss hunts, to Nar Shadaa but it seems like there's always some level 50 there soloing him. And now a question: As a server, do you prefer to kill a world boss in a group of near-planet level characters or with a specific higher level tank? Do you find that having a higher level lead the charge lessens the experience? May Sheryl and Ranka smile upon you all. YACK DECULTURE! Feli Stormtree Producer of Galactic Fairy Head of Assault Concert Operations

Wait. People actually use kolto infusion? Seriously, take that off your bar and abuse surgical probe. No wonder you're having energy management problems....

Does anyone have a link to a BiS set for a gunslinger? Particularly a sharpshooter? I'm trying to gear up and am wondering if what I've done is right or wrong and I'm coming up headscratchy. Thanks in advance.

I don't have a problem with juggs and guardians. My jugg slowdown is take cover legshot smugglers luck illegal mods charged burst trickshot speedshot aimed shot sabotage charge trickshot then move into rotation. Most juggs/guardians will die quickly and inexplicably. Just keep them out of range of you. They only have a 4m range for the majority of their skills, stay outside of that.

I'd take a point away from No Holds Barred and up Independent Anarchy to 15% buff to sabotage charge and AoEs myself. I'm really not seeing that big of a difference in my critical percentages in parses with only 2 points in NHB and a higher dps output this way.

1. How others see my watchman sentinel: TAB TARGET FTW! WOW LOOK AT THAT 99% DAMAGE REDUCTION! 2. How I see my watchman sentinel: TAB TARGET FTW! Why am I stuck in the 30s? This is supposed to be fun right? Oh, which button do I push next? Oh god...

I'll be honest, I made a sage after 1.2 to see what everyone was complaining about.... 1. How we are seen by others: OOOOH! SHINY YELLOW CIRCLE! DO WANT. 2. How we see ourselves: Our heals suck compared to everyone else. Except maybe the commando healer. But what's a commando healer? No instants. Bad energy management. Ooooh, salvation is fun. Cut cut cut. My poor wrists.
