@OP With practice and setting your mouse sensitivity correctly it's very easy to run round an enemy and keep them in the centre of your screen. Constantly hitting them with thrash, watching your procs and using skills as and when the bonuses pop up. You don't even need to stop to use maul, as you have a few stuns. If circling, make sure you snare them, when they're stunned, hit them with maul during the circle when you get round the back. Don't stop moving because they're most likely trying to keep you in sight. Also, if you've not already done so, ensure you have nameplates set to friendly players only. Anyone with no name plate is an enemy, and when you target them, only they are shown in red making it much easier to keep them in your sights. Learn to strafe man and you'll do fine. If all fails, you have your force cloak to get the hell out.

This is probably most important on RP servers for sure so... +1

And rightly so... maybe if there's enough of them, the Dev's might realise this is an issue for many folks.

Not usually one for getting hot under the collar about this kind of thing, but having secured the day off work to play TOR, I'm shocked to read when I log in the EU servers will be down from 08:00 GMT to 14:00 GMT. I'm curious as to why service patch should take 6 hours to implement, and why this can't be done during the night? 6 hours.... Serious?

Seriously dude, it's launch day for one of the biggest MMO's to date. Get real. And YES, I will be subscribing. AFAIK the game went on sale at midnight. There's millions of new players trying to log in. Queue's will eventually die down. It's frustrating but at the same time completely understandable.

I have a very standard PC. The game is not laggy at all.
