Hi Do we have any crunched numbers on the difference between a 50% healing 500 for 6 seconds once every 20 seconds ... and a normal +130 power one? My gut feeling is telling me i will be more effective with the pure power stats than a random thing like that, a +130 power boost per heal feels like it will produce a lot more healing over 20 seconds than a measly ~500. Do we have any numbers on this? Best regards

The absolute best thing to do is to read through all the skill abilities and make your own build after your own play style. That will make YOU the most effective healer you can be right now. You can always use premade builds, but don't expect end up with the same result as the one who has experience in that particular build. So saying this is better than that and vice versa.. is pointless, it all comes down to how you use it.

More sliders would be most welcome. I don't like the huge bust sizes either, i don't think it fits my evil sith toon to be extremely sexy, a more flat chest would be muuuuch better for most toons IMO. It's just stupid to force these sizes on us. I would also like to be able control my toons age, if that was possible a very full bust is also pretty uncalled for.

Constantly having to press space to skip a dialogue we've already seen is a waste of our time and patience, this makes the game quite frustrating to enjoy.

Where i come from you can do a baras. Which means pulling down your pants and showing your butt. If Darth Baras did a baras, that baras would be the baras of Baras and only a baras done by Baras would ever be the real baras as it'd be the baras of baras's and you should fear the baras of Baras' baras.

Force Power is actually better than Power. Power = ~0.94 Force Power = 1.0 Willpower = ~0.92 but adds a small amount of Crit, extremely small i might add. Perhaps 0.003 per 1 Willpower, just to give you an idea. So yeah, if your crit is at 30 % with all buffs, forget about Willpower and just go Power. If your drit is higher than 30 % buffed, you can drop some Willpower and exchange it for Power.

A speeder doing 30 km/h, is that really a SPEEDer? I mean, an evil i-will-eat-your-soul sith lord driving around on a scooter with tail lights, is that really Star Warsy? They could at least double the speed. Though i very much like how they solved it in, yes i know, Star Wars Galaxies, they used animal mounts, that made a 1000 times more sense since an animal can't run in 200 km/h like the actual speeders go in the movies. Yes 200 km/h was just a number i pulled out, but they go pretty darn fast! Of course there were speeders in SWG too, but the animal mounts were really fantastic to the Star Wars feel. I dont' know how, but i'd like to see a different solution that what we have today. Of course animal mounts running around on curoscant (can't spell that) makes little sense too.. Iiii don't know, i just hate the scooters!

Easily the warzone commendation one. Don't forget to pick up the daily and weekly pvp missions from the pvp mission terminal. 1x Daily Mission = 100 wz comms + 100 ranked wz comms 1x Weekly = 300 wz comms + 300 ranked wz comms Daily = 4 pvp matches played (win counts as 2x) Weekly = 9 won matches

Wow, that's a lot of numbers flying around. Anyone know a nice min/maxed pvp sage healing gear on http://swtor.askmrrobot.com ? I'm at the point where i don't know how to continue.. A heck, here's my profile if anyone finds it interesting. http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/518b410a-fa71-4578-9d6f-e61e3fd9b59f

I think this deserves a push to the first page My question is, BH armorings are really expensive (at least about 38 comms per piece) Now that takes a long while to grind seeing they are mostly only Daily and Weekly rewards. On the other hand you have the Daily armorings you can buy, they are of course not even close to BH, but still gives about 12-15 stat increase. The question is... Say you are still above the said Expertise levels, would you still benefit to lose 50 exp over 12-15 main stat or endurence increase?

I see, that makes sense actually. Damn it! Still, for the difficulty of the missions the reward should be higher than a measly 12k.

They reduced the Heroic space mission reward from 12.500 to 1.616 Credits per mission? Look, the Heroic space missions are INSANELY DIFFICULT even if you have all the new grade 7 upgrades. Ok to make people who don't know, understand.. Here's a scale, a difficulty scale if you will. 1 - 10 Where 1 is the easiest and 10 i the hardest 1- Normal Levelling 2- 3- Normal Flashpoint 4- 5- Hardmode Flashpoint 6- 7- Operations 8- 9- 10- 11- 12- 13- 14- 15- 16- 17- Heroic Space Missions See! It's even off the scale this one is, how friggin difficult is THAT?? So why would you reduce the credit rewards for this? It's not like we are getting any nice items, we get stupid Fleet Commendations worth NOTHING when you're fully upgraded in your ship. Is that the Space Mission ENDGAME.. NOTHING?! How about you put your coders and designers to work and come up with a REAL end game for Space. I love the space missions, but there could be sooo much more in it and to be frank, right now, there are nothing in it. Space Mission CO-OP, Grouping what have you, it doens't matter SOMETHING is better than NOTHING. /off

So Imperials out number the Republic on all servers. Is it really that strange? Seriously, who would want to go around wearing something that has a cunning resemblance to what your mom would make you wear as a kid? War Hero Republic http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/elite_war_hero_force-master_pub.jpg When you can look like THIS? War Hero Empire http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/elite_war_hero_force-master.jpg It's a no brainier, if they want to fix the balance they really must give the republic some cool looking clothes, Jedi's weren't mama's boys with tender hearts wearing a crown and skirt to bed! What Bioware is doing is choosing what we want to wear based on the class FOR us, that's bs, apparently more people are drawn to the Empire alot because of the clothes and gears, of course also many other things draw them in, but those are harder to change. Clothes are easy peasy. Ok so my character might suck, but at least i look awesome doing it! That's worth a heck of a lot in my book at least. Pics courtesy of http://dulfy.net

... in my experience.

In Sage's heal tree i've hit 600k, it's not often though and all depends on how ignorant the enemy dps'es are, sometimes they identify me in the first minutes and then i'd be lucky to get off 250k Sadly it is very uncommon for teammates to protect their healers which is a pity for the whole team.

Honestly people don't care too much about healers, healers should get Insta 100% Heals with zero cooldown. Then people would friggin care about protecting their HEALERS!

Hi So i finally finished grinding the War Hero Mystic's gear for my sage healer, extremely satisfied with a sense of accomplishment i did some Warzones and found myself with quite a lot of commendation at my disposal. I start thinking about actually getting the Elite War Hero gear and check it out, I find that not a single piece of the EWH Mystic's would actually raise my primary, secondary or even third stat. Great, then i find that the Force Master's Focus and Stalker's Headgear would actually add something to my character, but to buy this i need to spend 5900 Ranked wz comms plus 1x WH Force Master's and 1x WH Stalker headgear, meaning i would have to buy this WH helmet and focus which adds absolutely nothing to my character. I'm all for min/maxing and i think it's fun BioWare has implemented this, but seriously, you should for GOD'S SAKE be able to buy the next tier gear without losing Primary/Secondary stats and you should also for GOD'S SAKE be able to buy a piece of gear that suits your character without buying something you don't need just to trade it away for what you actually NEED. IMO it would be far better to have it a bit less restricted when upgrading your PVP gear, ie. 1x WH sash goes for 1x EWH sash, 1x WH Headgear goes for 1x EWH Headgear. Thank you.

Ok i've looked at the actual numbers.. Recap.. I have 5 pieces left to Augment and what i already have are: 4x Power 5x Willpower So i can now choose my last augments... here are the numbers: (Augments have +18 in main stat so 5 x 18 = 90) Buffed: WIllpower = 1798 Power = 946 Force Power 1205 Crit chance = 26,5 % +90 Willpower = 83,8 heal points plus an additional 0,576 % Crit chance. +90 Power = 85,6 heal points. +90 Crit rating = 3,924 % Crit chance. So i'm thinking if i should boost my healing with such small amount or go for the almost 4 % Crit boost so i'll land around 30,5 % Crit. Until i can get my hands on some more expensive mods and armorings i think crit will be my better choice at this time. The numbers are based on the Character screen under "Force". I hope the heal point numbers are wrong, because they look quite small.

Thanks! There are some really helpful things in there With my ingame economy i think i'll end up with 1875-1900 will power Crit 30-33% Crit multi 75% Doing dailys atm to scrap up some credits

As it stands, maybe i'm better off adding 2x Crit augments and then go for power as my crit is really low and to raise crit anywhere else would still replace willpower so i might as well do it in the Augs right away.

The crystals are already in 27 armorings looks nice though!

Thanks for the replies all, some more useful than others Actually my force crit is 26.5% fully buffed, i still have to augment 5 pieces so i guess i'll be looking at the resolve augment for that, that should give me an additional 90 willpower which should raise the buffed crit to about 28% if i'm lucky. 2500 Willpower?! Is that even possible in pvp?? I have 1800 right now and have min/maxed most of them for the WH (except the augs). Ok i'm not using a rich man's mods and armorings But they are definitely decent enough. I have kept my Expertise fairly high though, it's at 1208, am i making a mistake by keeping it there?

I don't have a shield

Sage Healer My crit is at 30% My surge is at 75% Should i go for Willpower or Power in my augments?

Hi So i've read plenty on this topic and there seems to be many different opinions on it. I am a Sage PVP healer. I hear the most important soft caps are ~1250 Expertise, 30% Crit, 75% Surge .. while Willpower and Power are linear and goes on forever. If someone can confirm or correct this i'd be very grateful. The second thing is, which roll-down menu has the correct percentages for these soft caps? Melee/Force/PVP ? Force: my says 31%, but there's no way in heck i'm crit'ing every 4th to 3rd time, more like every 10th time (in PVP) Melee: 17% Crit / 75% Surge PVP: dmg boost 24%, dmg reduction 19%, Healing boost 13% What i don't understand is how you can know that your PVP crit is at 30% when it only says DMG BOOST/DMG reduction etc.. I'd be very thankful for some advice
