Yeah I know exactly what mods and gear I should buy if I went either route, just wasn't sure if I'd be hamstringing myself. As I am not 65 yet I cannot see the individual mods within the crystal gear sadly. However thank you for your response

Howdy all, Tried searching for this and failed, so my apologies if it has been covered elsewhere. Some of the stickied guides point to other websites that seem to be down (as in "up for sale by owner"). My question is basically: are the iLvl 208 components (Enhancement, Mod etc) equivalent to the crafted ones available on the AH? For example, do the Outlander Duelist's Boots MK-4 basically come with the Artifact "Advanced Bastion Enhancement" that I can see on the GTN. Context: I am trying to figure out the best way to gear my Shadow tank as soon as I hit 65 for PVE. My options seem to be buy common data crystal gear (of which I can buy 6/7 armour pieces, and none of the accessories), or use my Cartel adaptive gear and slot GTN components. Cheers all, Cru

Give us a better LFG tool than is currently implemented and make it more accessible (like put it on the UI menu at the top) but DO NOT implement a "teleport to group" type tool like WoW has right now

Windows Phone 7 is a great way forward, it's apps can be ported to Windows 8. Hope they fix this oversight soon!

I really wish they had left it like it was, Revan is supposed to be one hell of a warrior and in his bugged form he was. The nail biting tempo of that fight felt real and fluffy. As someone who can clear all HMs and Raids I enjoyed not being able to relax on BP and Foundry

^ Huttball is a pain in the ***, will be good to be able to queue for real PVP matches. I used to dislike Voidstar but after 3 Huttball matches everyday in a row, followed by the "Char selection screen bug" has made me re-evaluate it

As a PVP healer I agree with your assessment. Tanks get all sorts of neat medals while all classes can get Healing ones. Easy fix, make medals for objective completion, make healing medals only tick off with healing spells not medpacs and generic heals (like DPS Sorc has Dark Heal) and make more healing medals so it's viable to not DPS if you want.

I'd like to see the Jedi try and block a Plasma Gun with their sabre.

Thanks for providing video links for your conversation, not usually done. Now I severely hope they do not do this. Your advanced class is like the class you pick at the start of other MMOs, only in TOR you get 10 levels to consider your choice first. I can only imagine the hell that would ensue if we get this feature plus LFG tools. People who played DPS all the way to 50 then swapped to tank would be a miserable experience for the rest of us

I had my first EV and KP yesterday and I got something off every single boss, sometimes doubles. Now almost fully Columni geared, that is just so unfair on everyone else! They really really have to fix this crap

Well I have cleared a few of them without trouble now & without changing anything so it would seem my issue was purely PUGs being undergeared and not using adequate CC. Makes for a painful realisation during the week when I can't play with my static due to work oO

Power Convertor boosted blasters plus some torps takes down any of the elite PUG fighters

Don't worry too much about it, we will have the healthiest server when the 30 days are up

The panel for the water spawns once an hour, and it randomly spawns on one of the many Vaporators in Jundland. That gives you somewhere around 1/100 chance every hour to get it EDIT: Apparently not true, discount ^^

How about we just disable the jump-charge move of tanks. That would stop the lunge forwards, throwing forward is just skill

Which boss drops the recipe for the lvl 50 Power crystal?

Anyone got co-ords for the Crystal on Ilum?

Yeah i found that by randomness Now we need co-ords for the crystal and force ghost

Anyone able to better explain how to get the water buff? The co-ords on Tat don't make sense, it's a cliff wall

Still really really hard as a Sorc mate. Personally I have never made it past that boss. It has to do with where you position your group and how well geared your team is.

Wait till you get to The Foundry. The story is just dripping off it... or is that my drool.. hmmm

For a sorc you need crit to replenish your force, critical Innervate's give a free Consumption

Howdy, I have recently hit 50 and decided to step into hardmode FPs. Aside from people being stupid I generally have an alright time in these places. However there are occasions where the tank and/or DPS are just taking waaaaay to much damage for me to keep up with. Now I have written most of our issues off as them being undergeared and/or cocky (pulling too much and not using CC) plus bugs. This side of things is a symptom of how young the game is, but there is definitely room for improvement on my part too. This is my Talent Layout 31/7/3 I use the Operation Frames tweaked and moved nearer my hotbars so I can watch health and CD's at the same time. I have all my healing spells bound to my Steelseries Cataclysm mouse (mouse emulates keyboard press, therefore activates my hotbars) so all I do is click a Operation Frame and then press one of the heal buttons. I have 1142 Endurance granting 13920 HP and 1231 Willpower resulting in 422 bonus heals. I also have a 27% force crit chance and 11% Activation speed. My gear I would consider good. Only 2 pieces are sub standard and are minor (44 Ear and 44 Wrist). The rest is high level (49-50) Orange and Purple, all with really good socketed items. I have been socketing and selecting with focus on Alacrity, Critical and Willpower ----------- Now, anyone have any advice on how to improve myself? Or just any good advice for Sorc healing this content. I'm not new to healing hard content under stress but I am definitely struggling during some encounters.

As a Sorc healer with Sin tank, melee DPS and merc DPS this was hard as hell for us. We got it close a few times so I'd write it down as too little DPS but by god that rocket hurts

I agree with the original post. As a healer the last boss of Boarding Party is just pure hell. Jorland does that aoe explosive bolt move, hit's one melee DPS and all of the drop 4k HP. There is a distinct line between truly challenging and *** and this game has bounded across with flowers and a song.
