So I've only just started my consular... finding it fun so far! But my lizard guy is a bit slow off the mark... I tell him to attack something, he then takes friggin ages to actually run over and attack? I've been hitting ctrl+1 as I'm running towards a target, I'll reach it before him and he'll end up using taunt. Spose it's not a massive deal but I would have expected him to be a bit quicker off the mark! Do we get quicker tank companions later on or is there a way to speed this guy up?

Tbh I've found Mako was awful until I realised her primary stat was cunning and I started gearing her with every bit of cunning armour I could find... now she heals like a boss. The stunning thing is useful but maybe 2/10 she seems to stun the target I'm hitting which is pretty useless! I've found that I hardly ever drop below 75% in elite/boss fights 1on1 with mako healing me, for those horrible moments I've always got medpacks, Kolto overload and that HoT if your companion is present with a 20 min cooldown (forget the name!)... OP: Stick with her, she is by far the most useful one! You don't get any other companions who are better healers so defo worth perservering with.

Only realised this was what was happening the other day when my Flame Thrower ability was used randomly! I've had a setup in MMOs for years and decided to keep the same for swtor, the bottom most bar is 1 - =, then above that is alt+1 to alt+ =, works for me and is great. However since the layout is altered when enabling the quickslots this problem of right clicking on an enemy uses alt+1... majorly annoying, let us turn it off BW!

Trying not to worry too much as like any other MMO the real game starts at endgame I think I need to get on top of my implants and relics... questing has given me one implant so far but I think I need to get more! Sadly just bought my speeder so cash is a problem

At 25 now I have 4431 with my Hunter's Boon and 1/3 endurance talent. Elicas: Ok, so what do you suggest the problem is?

Balmorra is a 19-22 iirc, admittedly I was 23 by the time I left, but only just. Just saw a sith assassin with 300 more health than me and the same level, do the sith have some kind of endurance boosting talent? I know we've got Hunter's Boon but maybe they've got something else.... EDIT: Just answered my own question, sith assassins get a 3% endurance boost through talents at tier 2 level so this could be why I'm seeing so many of them with more health than me right now. EDIT2: Also just noticed an identical talent in the powertech talents, but not in the shield tech... should probably looked around a bit more Guess I'll take that on the next 3 levels and see how I'm looking then.

Like I say I've been prioritising Endurance, and I've replaced everything I had when I started Balmorra... so it's all new stuff. And a lot of it is Blue or Orange with endurance oriented slots.... still seem to be suffering with the health pool tho ¬_¬

Hi all, So I've been trying to tank a few things with my powertech shield build and I'm only lvl 23 but I've noticed a distinct lack in health pool compared to other classes. I've been gearing for endurance/aim (with endurance as a priority in this case) and still even Mako has more health than me! I've got my Hunter's Boon cast all the time but I ran into a Sith the other day who was a healer but had 1k more health than me... absurd! Is it just that I'm gearing wrong or does the BH Powertech tank have a bit less health than other classes by design?
