That the problem i would not mind rerolling as say marauder but I just cannot go through 1-50 again doing the same quests and same planets except for class quests. I am not into PVP so that is not an option for me. This game was a lot of fun the first time around but the replayability is very low and I think that is the big issue.

Yes my guild was using dpsmeters or something like that where we upload our logs and it parses the raid. I was consistently getting the lowest DPS compared to Sorc/Marauder Most of my gear is Rakata except for I think 2 pieces, and TBH I forgot all my stats I would have to log in I guess to check, but I know I have close to 20K HP, and I got every single datacron in the game for aim/end and the +10 one At this point I unsubbed so I guess it does not matter much anymore. I am just not having fun anymore and too many other games coming out soon which are keeping my attention, it was fun the first few months and had a great time =)

I should have mentioned I do use unload every time it goes off, the rotation I posted was just my standard and usually if unload goes off i go to that and then go back depending upon where I am. I don't know, I am not finding the class fun anymore, not sure if it is because I feel nerfed, but I am just not enjoying the game anymore. It is a shame because I have been playing since launch and probably will end up cancelling. This is not a rant but I am logging in less and less ever since 1.2

So I have not played much in about 3 weeks. I logged on a few times after 1.2 I raided a few times and see my DPS is much lower compared to other classes. Do I need to change my rotation? I have been doing TM->TM->TM->Unload->Heatseeker->TM->TM->Railshot What is the ideal rotation for arsenal now?

So I hit 50 I think late Jan. I did all the Hard mode flashpoints until I got full columni. I then started to raid, did all the operations, and while not full rakata set (need just 2-3 more pieces), we pretty much clear EV and KP in one single night. What do I do for the next 7 days? This cycle happens over and over again. There is no reason to do HM FP anymore. Dailies I do from time to time to just make it back in repair costs, I can only do those so many times in a week. I would love to raid more, I am not into alts at all, while I do have a few, I play one of them for maybe 30 minutes until I am bored doing the same quests over and over again. Maybe if there were different planets or different questlines would not be so bad, but it pretty much very linear and doing it on an alt is not fun. I know some will say do PVP, but I have zero interest in PVP. I tried it a few times only to get some lvl 40 gear when i was leveling. I know 1.2 is coming out but how much content will there be for PVE endgame? When is there going to be a major expansion?

I am leaning towards cancelling, but I will wait until 1.2 goes live to make final judgement. My biggest concern is they are catering more towards PVP players with all these nerfs on classes. Majority of these changes are due to PVP, and I have zero interest in PVP. I still do not understand why they don't follow EQ, where they have a set of abilities work different in PVP then in PVE, this way don't have to affect players who don't enjoy it. But I will give it a chance but as of now from everything I am reading about what is going on in test I doubt I will stick with it.

Just curious why will they be dead in 1.2? What am I missing?

Are you serious no dual spec or LFG tool in 1.2? So all 1.2 is a bunch of nerfs? This game will be dead by the time they at least put in LFG tool. Super hard to find groups now. Oh well time to move on I guess.

I hope I am misreading correctly. Are you guys saying I never have to raid to get the top tier set 1.2? I can just solo it by doing dailies everyday? Please say that it is not so, if not it will kill raiding in this game. Most people will have no desire whatsoever to raid. All other MMO I have played you raid and usually get better loot that is only obtainable from raids.

I was playing a BH merc, but now started an assassin tank, I would not complain, trust me I rather see nothing changed then all the nerfs us BH got

Have to stop comparing it to Wow since that game can take a hit and even if it loses a lot of subscriptions it does not matter. SWTOR does not have anywhere near the number of subscriptions and at this point servers are becoming more and more empty, any more major hits, and it going to be the end and desolate.

I have yet to group quests with anyone from my guild, only time I have is on my 50 main and when we choose to do HM FP. It just not feasible unless everyone is on the same planet and in the same quest hub, and what do you do in the daytime when servers are very light?

I have to agree PVP leveling is not viable at all. I already experienced the entire game 1-50 through questing and soloing. So for my second alt I decided to try PVP. I am really not a huge PVP'er, but figured it something different, I tried a few around lvl 15 or so and the exp was so low, it just was not worth it. I am doing the PVE content now, but to be honest it is extremely boring, even though it is different class quests, everything else I am spacebarring.

Well i am hoping they know what they are doing, at least if they going to change the class, can they at least include an interrupt? I don't understand why we don't have one?

I am curious why they are discovering this now and making major changes to a class? I am fine with some changes here and there but it sounds like some major design changes. Were we just playing beta for the past 4 months? I am going to take a wait and see approach and see what happens in 1.2 But if i have to relearn a whole new class I hope that maybe they give us a chance to choose a different AC, so I can go powertech instead

Well I will see what happens when 1.2 comes out, if they change and nerf classes so much, then I guess it will be time to move on and hit the cancel button. I am hoping they really test these changes for a long time on test before going live.

No not saying that. There will always be changes, but if it such a massive change to all classes all in one shot that it feels like a totally different class, and this is due to PVP, then yes that is bad. Which is why I always felt games should cater either to a PVE or PVP audience, and never a mixture of both, because it is impossible to balance between the two.

Bioware, I have to say overall having a lot of fun in the game and have been playing since release. Yes there need to be some improvements overall and looking forward to 1.2, but I am also very hesitant, because anytime some major update has happened in other MMORPG, it brought about so many other issues. I here there are massive class balances and changes, where we all get free respecs. What I do not understand are these changes due to pvp or pve? Is this game going to be centered mostly around PVP content? I have done some PVP a few rounds but got extremely bored. PVP is just not my style in a MMORPG. I prefer FPS like BF3 for that type of entertainment. All I do @ endgame is PVE content, that is Flashpoints, operations, and anything else to help friends and my guild. I am coming from an EQ backgroud where pvp was never the focus, and look how long the game has been around, they never made changes due to pvp as a priority, and if they did many times it would not effect while playing PVE. For example a spell would affect a player differently then would effect PVE content, so not to nerf PVE playing. So if you guys are making massive changes to all classes, in that it might not even be the same class I started on level 1 back on release day all for PVP, I am going to be extremely disappointed.

If this true this is very scary, update 1.2 sounds great overall, but if I have to change class after all these changes because it not the same class, and I don't mean a nerf or one skill being changed, but everything being changed all for PVP, when all I do is PVE, then I will be extremely disappointed.

Yeah but most MMO that I have played in the past did not make changes to classes based on PVP, or if they did it only was affected while actually playing PVP. I never played WoW so no clue how they do it. I know I have played some games where changes made for PVP, were only when in PVP and then when doing PVE it was back to normal, like certain abilities/spells had different effects in PVP. Like I said I hardly play PVP and any MMORPG that makes it primary is just not for me. If I want to PVP I will play a FPS like BF3 or something of that nature.

Whatever this nerf is, I hope it has nothing to do because of PVP. That will force me out of this game if there are nerfs because of PVP, Since I play on a PVE server and have zero interest in it.

Cool thanks for all the great help! I have a 50 BH Merc..so wanted to do something different then pure dps, and assassins just look like a lot of fun.

I was looking at the first thread and planned to go 31/0/10 I am only level 12 at moment, and want to go tank, is that viable or do you have to level as DPS and then switch to tank at 50? I rather not do that so I can learn how to tank on my way up, and hoping to do the group and FP quests along the way. Also if I go 31/0/10 is there a certain order I should put skill points in? Go full darkness and then put the 10 in other tree? Thanks

Never mind ignore my message i figured it out.

Thanks for the info, well I got one rakota already but unfortunately took the wrong one, I got the one with Power, because at time my crit was at 33% and was thinking I should get more power. I did not know that the crit bonus from the set is applied after that is great to know, so definitely get eliminator set.
