The only time I ever hit 600k (680k is my highest so far) is as leth/eng hybrid in a full length voidstar. This happens only against a team that has a lot of healers, keeping people up to take full damage from all my dots. And I have to dot everything. They are right that the damage is mostly just to pad the score at the end of the game though. I do find I do 300-350k damage in most games without going out of my way to spam dots everywhere.

What should I be aiming to stack as far as stats go? I've been marks for a while, and have 3/5 rakata, with the rest of my gear columi (in pve, about half champ for pvp). This means I have a bunch of accuracy which I can drop. Everything else is basically crit/surge, with a bit of power sprinkled in. I have 39% crit and 88% surge in my pve gear, with slightly less in my pvp gear. I see lots of threads about specs, but none about what stats to stack. Help a brother out!

Don't kick the ball! Hutts don't have feet! But seriously, position is everything. Being somewhere that lets you follow the action from afar is so important.

I have both a level 50 sniper and mercenary. The mercenary is busy collecting dust. I'll give the mercenary the advantage in leveling, but I found the sniper to be an incredible class, especially once you get followthrough. I now do hard mode operations and pvp exclusively with my sniper and have a blast doing it. People may cry on the forums all day about snipers bring "terrible ", but if you look at any class forum, you will see the same thing. Also there are a lot less snipers out there. That was a huge plus for me too.

It was a killing blow though. No followup attack. Oh well i picked up a surge relic to make sure in the future.

In a warzone. I was so excited until I realized I didn't get a medal for it. /sadface

And yet if you head on over to sithwarrior.com and check out the agent forums, you will see that they have tested this, and the debuffs do in fact stack.

I'm not saying they are bad. I'm just saying that we are being short changed compared to other classes who receive substantial buffs to bread and butter abilities, which are usable throughout the entirety of a fight. It just seems like one hell of an afterthought.

7 energy every 12 seconds for 30% of a fight? No thanks. Give me something I can use.

So what the heck is up with our useless set bonuses? 10 energy back every minute (assuming we use laze target on CD), and a reduction in cost of an ability which has a 12s cooldown and can only be used when the mob is at >30% health?! Come on Bioware! My merc gets 15% additional crit to tracer missle! Now that's a set bonus! Throw us a bone IMO.

Pretty self explanatory I think. Can someone point me in the right direction, pvp server preferably. Thanks in advance!

Amazing!

I don't even care about damage meter. I want a working combat log which can be parsed externally. People who care about min/maxing will take the time to go over their parses. Number crunchers everywhere would rejoice!

Well they did say that it was available in North America, so I'm assuming you will have to wait until they release it overseas.

I love healing on my mercenary. I find myself joining groups just so I can heal. The heat system is interesting and once you get used to it, you will have no problems at all.

LOL. Just made my day. Thanks!

The ability to abuse adds in boss encounters. Once you get a few skills and a few levels (I'm 27 right now) you can single handedly take out all of the adds while taking minimal damage.

Likewise my friend.

What's not fair is that I got into early access in the first wave and got the email at work... Now I have 8 more hours, knowing I could be playing.
