If you are in a full set of the top ship gear (not hard to get) you should destroy the heroic missions. I cleared them in the old grade 6 gear without much issue, they were hard but manageable. They really aren't as hard as you make it out to be. It may not make sense sending 1 ship against 500, but they aren't all that hard to beat.

You just described every single wow expansion ever.

You know the one I mean. Right before the Dread Master in S&V. Well played BW.

Saw this yesterday, so funny.

This post, so much ignorance. Arsenal is pretty fun and awesome in pvp now. I can set up burst to do a cumulative hit o 12-15k at once (Explosive Dart-TM-HSM. With the average pvp HP pool being 25k or so, this is 50-60% of a person's HP, only using a single casted ability. And then I can crit for 8-9k with HSM alone, kinda ruins a healer's day. Your Assassin comment is just such a display of, I don't even know what. Any competent pvper knows to NEVER let an assassin get behind them. This has never been easier for mercs. We have hydraulic overrides which both prevents slows and lets us run faster and we have electro net which can negate their ability to vanish and use force speed. Hell, assassins are laughably easy to 1v1 now. And on that same topic, arsenal mercs are so much better off in 1v1 now. I can actually take juggs and marauders 1v1 now. I destroy lesser skilled players and am able to kill better players. You can neutralize so much using hydraulic overrides alone, and then add the buffed power surge and electro net into the mix and you have solid 1v1 ability. Now, I can't speak for bodyguard in pvp, but in pve I have no issues at all. I have easily healed anything thrown at me in this expansion so far. Not much more to say there. Pyro definetly is sub-par atm, not sure what the devs intended there but oh well, have arsenal. Worst class in the game. Lol

Lame? Just imagine, as a merc I will be able to stack a 30% bonus to crit chance on tracer missile.

The Isotope=5 is used for the crafting schematics you can buy with basic coms at the hero rank.

Thank you BW, Arsenal may not be on the top of the food chain, but it is fun again in pvp. The burst is INSANE, at 55 I can burst a person down in 5 GCD's if I am lucky on my crits. Mobility is also better due to the tracer changes and the power surge changes now too. I can actually take most other classes 1v1 now, so happy with the new arsenal in pvp.

Think that is bugged too, on my armormech the green augs take 4 mins to make and the blues take 27 or so.

Why would you use the Underworld Kinetic Tempest relic instead of the Seredipitious Assault relic, seems like the power proc would be better for dps.

3 hours isn't too much work as a weekly go, jeez, i am contradicting myself here. I guess my complaint is that in these three hours I could do 4-5 55 HM's, many other dailies and such. The worst part is that the dailies are soo boring and laborious, its like run spend an hour and a half running to every corner of tatooine to complete 5 quests. Bah, I guess really I am just disgruntled at the reward, I was expecting elite coms or something.

Not entirely sure what you mean there... Do you mean 3 hours isn't much work? Because I could be running other things in that time and get twice the coms, or even better value coms.

I completed the GSI weekly (complete 10 Dailies and 1 Heroic) and the reward was 20 basic coms and a rep item. It took me nearly 3 hours to complete this weekly, had to run all over tatooine and Makeb just to complete it. Too much effort for such a small reward, either the quest rewards need to be upped or the reputation items need to be better, a few meh outfits and speeders and some basic coms for hours and hours of grind.

You can reverse engineer the green stims/medpacks/adrenals and get reusable items through that process. It is the same as any other item below rakata for Biochems.

For Biochem it is pretty much adrenals from 430-450, nothing else you can craft.

I did investigation missions and got 4 purple mats from every single one, haven't done any others though. I have bioanalysis missions out atm but can't see them untill I get home.

You have to have ROTHC to level to 55. As for the OP, yes, any xp you get at the 50.99 point will just dissapear.

I remember both saying that they would not be available untill you finish the main storyline on Makeb, may be wrong though.

Look at the level 55 arkanian set bonuses, I believe that the lvl 50 set bonuses and level 55 set bonuses are different, didn't have time this morning to check.

If you don't have a merc that you play regularly then you really can't complain... about anything. My main has been merc since pre-release. As an arsenal merc I consistently top DPS charts in PvE running HM TFB/ NiM Denova and in PvP I have few issues. Merc is an incredibly useful class in pvp if you know what you are doing. As a person with lots of experience playing merc I can say that mercs are getting guite a few good upgrades for PvP, not much to complain about here.

There hasn't really been any info pointing either way, still up in the air for me. However, even if you can get to 450 before having access to ROTHC it wouldn't be very useful seeing how you would be unable to access the areas that the new crafting mats drop in and you wouldn't be able to level up to use the new stuff.

It is essentially a 25 heat cost ability that hits for less than TM/PS. It is not free and not viable at all in most situations.

The patch notes highlight only the biggest changes. 90% of the changed coming in 2.0/ROTHC are going to be undocumented changes that we will not see untill we get in game. The repair costs will likely be one of these undocumented changes.

Most people don't even have these skills on their bar. They are useless outside of solo questing, and even then they can only be used on enemies that are strong or lower.
