My advice: stick with it. It can be depressing PvPing at low levels. People focus you down super fast, and you don't know why. Then you hit 20 and it makes more sense. Then you hit 30, take someone down to half health in 4 shots and all of a sudden it makes sense. Rotations are hard to learn because abilities come at you fast. You need a LOT of things hot keyed, so learn how to do that. Memorize tootltips and figure out when to use what. For instance, Saber Throw has a heal debuff. Very handy in the right situation, which is true of many of our abilities. Learn them, hot key them, stick with it, and you will love it later

This guy wins.

I'm shocked anyone ever thought it was a good idea. Why would I want to play against BETTER players? Winning is fun, losing is not.

I find the XP in Flashpoints to be good. I did Cadmimu (sp?) last night on my 28 Mara and in an hour put a third of a level on him. With both dailies it was close to half a level. So it's not a terrible way to go. My advice is to do all the dailies- Flashpoint, space and war zone. It's basically bonus XP, and if you want to level may as well take all the bonus XP you can get.

I've never thought of that before, but it would be cool.

At low levels I find Rupture/Choke provides utility when the big hitters are all on cool down, or when a healer is almost burned down and I want to finish them before they can pop a medpack or something. But at higher levels, I expect it will come off rotation.

Other than the talent on the tree, how does a sub 50 Carnage Mara get more accuracy? I'm 28 and I haven't see any gear or mods with accuracy.

Related question: is there gear for below 50's that increases it? I'm 28 and haven't seen anything yet.

Im 28 Carnage, and it's pretty nice. You have to be sneakier if your are pugging, you can't just run into a mass melee or you will die fast. But if you sneak around terrain and get stuck in on someone, they are going down unless they are a high level healer or getting heals somewhere else. If you do it, be sure to catch the proc that gives you 100% crit on Force Smash, and if you can go right to Gore. I can't wait to get that!

Like everyone else said, you are going to get crushed for awhile. Some advice to make it less painful: - Try to stay out of clumps of people fighting. Clumps draw AOE, and you can't take it. -Use terrain to approach targets. Run around things that block LOS. Get behind people. You would be shocked at how easy it is. -Even if you can't burn down a healer, you will usually make them run away because most see double lightsabers and soil themselves. If healers are running they arent healing as well. -Remember that PvP is objective based. Since you get owned, be the guy picking his nose watching a capped objective. You can call out incoming just as well as anyone, and you are freeing the good fighters to go fight. - Just go ahead and scream and pound your fists whenever Huttball comes up. It absolutely sucks on a low level Mara.

This would make it easier to craft items, would mean more of them, but it would not increase access to buy crafted items. Supply goes up, demand stays the same, and prices drop. So while I like the idea, I think it would be bad in the long term, and this cannot support it.

This game Is an altaholics dream! Enjoy!

I think you owe a big pat on the back to Midie, your healer, who healed for 400k plus. This shows that Carnage can dish a ton of damage in WZs with a good healer. Without one, you will get focused and stomped. Which means that this is NOT a faceroll class, it's one that works very well in synergy with a good team, which is how it's supposed to work.

You will die quickly and often in WZs at low levels, but everyone is telling me it gets better. Can't wait for that. It also depends on spec, I'm Carnage, and it has the lowest survivabity.

Therapy is his long term answer. /ignore is yours

Ugh. This thread was dead 3 months ago, and it should have stayed that way. Idiocy is allowed. /thread

I can guarantee that BW will not make reusables usable by anyone without Biochem. I know this because it used to that way, and Bioware changed it. At first I agreed with you, but I now see why. It's because they wanted to stimulate the market by increasing demand. It used to be no one bought blues, only purples, and then no one bought anything because they all had purples. This way, there is a market AND crafters can focus on making them for others because they can use reusables themselves. It's quite elegant, actually, and it has greatly improved the market for Biochem crafters.

I thought it was the white line that appeared in the circle around your character portrait, is that not correct?

Naturally, you missed the larger point, which is that nobody on this forum remembers or cares who predicts anything. Aren't you quitting? Quit then. Bye.

We were all anxious to see if your prediction came true, and now that it has, I suggest you take on the challenge of learning how to write a sentence.

A month after launch, people complained that there weren't enough things to spend credits on. Now, the complaint is that there are too many? Next you'll be complaining about the in-game weather.

I'm on Fatman now, it's a whole new game.

Rating sardines is actually a really good idea, because bad ones are really terrible, but good ones are a little piece of heaven.

I don't care if they can play the game well, I only care if they can conceive and design the game well, and the two are not the same.

No, I don't feel you at all.
