Until they fix this delay issue (and I believe they will), it's best to get in the habit of never trying to interrupt someone's action with Project. Force Slow and Sever Force are my favorites for this. The one that I can't wrap my head around is running into a mob of Imps about to plant or disarm a bomb and using Force Wave and having none of them be affected by it. That gets really, really old.

I wish I could do that.

By and large I agree; I've found it all well balanced, for the most part. Sure, there are times when I'll grind someone into the dirt in a few seconds, but that's because they're not wearing expertise stuff. That's not indicative of how real fights go. However, I'm very concerned with how powerful Operatives are. I'm not just talking damage output, here. Almost without exception, this is how fights with these guys go: 1. I'm knocked to the ground for several seconds. By the time I stand up I've lost a third of my health. 2. I stand up and do something to try to interrupt the attack. Depending on the situation it could be stun him, shield myself, knock him back, CC him, Force Speed and run away, et al. 3. He, apparently not at all bothered by what I just did, stuns me again. By the time this wears off I'm typically below 20% health. 4. I die. These things occur in fewer than 10 seconds. I have the one GCD in which to defend myself, or possibly two. It doesn't matter. The outcome almost never varies. I'm not sure how anyone could think this is a reasonable thing to put in a game. There's no one, no one at all, who I have a guaranteed win against. But these guys can shut me down like it's no big deal over and over. It's a little disgusting. That little anti-CC bar is meaningless. I don't even know why it's there.

Are you being good about collecting and selling trash? Putting blues and decent greens up on the market? Not wasting money? When I hit 50 I had the money to pay the 330,000 for the third speeder piloting. This is after having all but the last inventory module, 2 bank tabs, all training done, and leveling Synthweaving to 400 (with Archaeology and Underworld Trading a bit lower). The training is perfectly reasonable. I suspect you're blowing money somewhere, or not taking enough in.

Yes, leveling as a straight healer is possible. It's also painfully slow, though you have a margin of safety a DPS doesn't, as you can screw up and pull loads of mobs and still survive. This was not a problem for me, since hitting Force Speed while shielding yourself and running like hell will save you from nearly anything. As a 50 who put in significant time testing this idea that leveling as a seer is good...please, please, please, for your sake, don't buy that hype unless you're willing to kill mobs at half the speed of DPS sages. The build I settled on, and used throughout most of my leveling, was 12 in seer and the rest in telekinetics. A HoT now and then is all Qyzen needs in most encounters, and that doesn't impact your DPS as much as normal healing spells. I tested the other companions, but frankly they were all terrible except for Qyzen in most situations. I did find that Nadia worked pretty well coupled with a straight healer spec, but you don't get her until late in the game. But seriously...seer is incredibly slow. If you're okay with that, go for it. There are definitely benefits to leveling as a healer.

Well said.

I did not type gosh darnit. It changes that too. How inventive!

Goddamnit, I capitalized those heres and they were changed. Censorship!

here here!

I LOL'd at "trollishnocity".

As funny as it is to watch people like you go apoplectic about the tiniest things, you should probably relax a bit. Take a deep breath and remember that it's a game. A game. The world isn't ending. I promise.

***** less.

The word you're looking for is "losing".

I'm slightly disappointed that eating babies was at no time mentioned.

I approve of this.

Duly noted, sir.

Commander Bristag approves of this message. <3 Bioware.

5 September. Ready for action!

In no sense is that true. Up to 5 means between 0 and 5.

Your English makes me cry. How about studying a bit as you wait with the rest of us? It'll be more constructive than your pathetically boring attempts at trolling.

...but it hasn't. You were told you'd get up to 5 days, and we're not even in that time period yet. Complain less, pay attention more.

You made that choice - if you weren't happy about it, why did you make the decision to preorder? The game's not going to be perfect. I'm sorry, but that's just an unreasonable expectation. It's a new game, an MMORPG at that.

No. No, they don't.

Someone say doughnuts? Where?!

It's all good. It'll be fun when I get access, but until then...Overlord II!
