...and yet I am still enjoying these crew skills and craft them for myself, my alts and my guildies. My wife already has biochem so at the end game, I don't need it. For some of us, it doesn't matter if you can make a lot of credits with your crew skills. If there is at least one viable portion of the skill, I am good with it. Besides, who knows what may be put in the game later on? If they decide to make these skills better, at least I will be maxed out by then and can take advantage of it instead of respecting into it. These are the skills I like for this character. Your opinion may vary. Neither are wrong.

It's not llike getting to 20 takes a long time or a lot of effort. Reroll if you really want to play the other advanced class.

I have actually made every saber gem I use. You can only craft crit and endurance as far as I know. If you must have +power then yeah, you may need to go with drops/quest rewards. I use the +endurance blue recipes for myself, alts, and guildies unless they specifically ask for crit.

I am actually not having much of an issue with it. I am almost 42 sage and have pretty much just played by feel with the timers. I know where I am at in my rotation and go by feel. I agree that the buff/debuff icons could be bigger/clearer but I am getting alnog OK so far. I also have a trooper Tank at 30 and I have even less issues on that char. Less to track.

It definitely reinforces the need for CC and reminds you that it can be an important part of the game. I just wish some people in flash points would let me CC to make things easier.

I remember having issues there as well. I was able to breeze through as soon as I hit 37 and used CC. I used Qyzen as tank, CC the silver, Qyzen on gold while I quickly killed normal. Heal Qyzen and dps gold down then hit silver. Once I got in the groove, I didn't die nice and I only let Qyzen die once. It is all about the CC. Edit: I forgot to add I am full seer spec.

Wow! I still find some but not nearly half. Last night on Hoth I found one unharvestabie out of about 15 I hit.

Turn that ability off.

Seeing as how I disagree that there are only two useful crew skills, I don't think anyone can predict a nerf on a crew skill until It is announced. It is all just speculation until confirmed. We all have our opinion about crew skills. Should it get a nerf? I don't think it should.

I Also feel that end game will be more about slotting; augment and mods. I have an artificer and a cybertech for this very reason. I haven't raided yet so I cannot compare gear, but based on what I have experienced while leveling, I would rather have the orange pieces and choose how the stats are proportioned.

My sage is artificing/archaeology/treasure hunting and I don't regret it at all. I am able to craft hilts and enhancements that are equivalent to what I get at my level as well as the offhand item. I only have issues with the rare metals when I need to craft new recipes for multiple people. Otherwise I don't seem to be experiencing the material shortage issues particularly gems which I always have a bunch of.

I didn't put points into the TK tree until my late 20's and I was able to heal just fine. Everyone tries to justify their build like it is the only viable build and that is just BS. Sure, for some having that extra force might be needed. For others like me, it wasn't and I wanted to get deeper into the seer tree ASAP. Just spec whatever works best for you. If you come here looking for a spec, just know that there are different builds you can use...and guess what, the game is so easy in the beginning that most builds will work just fine. Whether you put your first 5 points into TK or you wait until you feel like you are having force issues, it will be Ok.

Are you sure, I just saw him a couple nights ago. Haven't checked since then though. ...and Robtard...can I have your stuff?

My laptop is very similar to yours only I use a 8600m gtx. I finished all the way to Hoth and am level 41. I have the settings at low and shadows off until tax returns come in for a new laptop. I get low dps in some areas but none have been unplayable yet.

OMG I need to find this when I get home from work. I looked and couldn't find it. This bind bugs the crap outa me.

Correct. Quesh is missing.

May as well ask if people will be making better posts on the forum.

lol. Qft

Yep. Have played many MMOs and have felt th growing pains many times. The game is still fun and I love the story lines. If I get a character or two to 50 before there is a lot of end game content, I will just start another (currently have a 41 and a 31).

Exactly. I don't get why there is such a fuss when there are plenty of options to swing a saber out there.

Qyzen works better for me and I don't have Nadia yet. Again, it is great that we have so many viable options. If one way doesn't work for you, switch it up.

That about sums it up for me too. C2 is a crafting bot and he can crit on crafting. I use others for missions. At 41 I still use Qyzen as I am a seer specced sage. He works great. I will switch to Nadia nice I have her.

s a seer spec, I stuck with Qyzen as he was easier for me. To each their own and I am glad not everyone feels they must. Use the same companion. When I get Nadia I plan to switch it up and use her. I am used to having to bubble and heal and I am looking forward to her dps.

I use them to open up a material mission. If I only have one metal mission available, I will send another crew member on a lockbox mission to open up space and skillup while I wait for mission refresh.

Oh yeah, I remember back to the days of EQ when they would "hit you with the nerf bat". Good memories.
