Saw this yesterday on The Red Eclipse in Novare Coast. Player was named after a certain Operative who posts videos in this section beginning with S, but with an accent above á letter. Nodes capped before the match started and floating in the air above the mid point gloating the whole match. Same person was doing non stop over the line trolling on fleet too so probably trying to get the person they are named after banned.

Remove it and they need to give them something else. With it they shine in certain situations, without it replace the word shine with meat. Hands down the squishiest class i've played in PvP and most prone to stunlock from full > dead.

I'm guessing you play Merc or Sniper

Main/offhand still bolster fine at 162

I use : Overwhelm, Unstoppable, Warmonger Oppressor, Pooled Hatred Intimidating Presence, Through Power

Because that's 4 seconds that they can be damaging you without you hurting them. Marauders may have many faults but being able to dish out significant damage in a short space of time isn't one of them if given the opportunity.

Out of the two I enjoy powertech more as madness sorcs are really boring to play.

The Endurance stacking is for soaking up guard damage in PvP and no one only stacks it and ignores defensive stats, it's virtually impossible to do even if you tried.

You are missing augments.

This is an old thread. Enhanced Assailant's adaptive armor set is almost identical to the one the OP asked about and is in game, just the shoulders are a bit different. http://i.imgur.com/QD3HQJ2.jpg

As someone who just took a toon to 60 yesterday i agree. I had enough comms to buy full dark reaver and swap out the mods that needed swapping. All i did was queue while leveling and even then i did far more PVE than PvP barring 55-58 which i only queued. If you put no effort into getting PvP gear then you only have yourself to blame seeing as it's so easy now. It's only something like 4k comms for exhumed and another 15 for DR now lol.

Just hit 60 on a toon last night and went into my first match fully geared in augmented Dark Reaver. I didn't even do anything special other than stop pve'ing between 55 and 58 so i could make sure i had enough comms when i hit 60. Gear cannot and should not be used as an excuse anymore now that it is so easy to get.

Jugg is a bit easier but with 12x xp you won't have a problem with either as you outlevel content pretty quickly anyway.

Had a match last night where the opposing team were 7 sorcs and 1 juggernaut. My team gave up half way through lol. That match was an anomaly though as most matches there is a good spread of classes, albeit i don't play 4v4 ranked.

I have a 58 toon with 162 armoring on armor, 162 on off hand and 156 main hand and also have full 2018 exp, mods and enh are a mix of 148 and 162 depending on whether the bolsterizer added or took away stats swapping between the two. If i could find a 162 main hand i'd test that but i can't for the life of me find one. HP isn't high at single digits under 40k but I was going for tooltip damage. Relics, implants and earpieces are lower though, no matter what i tried in those slots anything close to 162 was lowering damage.

That would explain why i die on mine so easily

I thought that too, i must have just skim read and made an assumption. Doesn't really matter though as you only need ~20k to buy a full set of both exhumed and dark reaver with the new prices.

Quesh Huttball.

Still using an old Saitek Eclipse keyboard, i'm not sure how long i've had it now but probably 8 or 9 years and it's a bit battered and worn. For mouse i use a G600.

Yeah well, that's October this is July

Assault on Korriban and Assault on Tython solo dailies will also give you gear with 162 green mods in them that you can pull out. Probably a moot point for you as you can do Forged Alliances but handy for people searching for the subject who don't have the SoR expansion as they can be done without it.

Are you using the GSI satellite for bolster? It completely negates the need to update your gear for that planet, every character (including sorc) i've ran through there wore level 37 or lower gear. If you are using it don't forget that it goes away if you do things like PvP matches and have to go click it for the buff again, a few times i've came out of matches and wonder why i just scraped through the next fight before i realised.

I just finished levelling one as Vengeance and tbh there's not a lot of difference. You could just pick a spec at random and choose utilities at random and it's still a walk in the park. I've found that the only thing that makes much of noteable difference is which companion you have out and even that's only really affects downtime between fights. As you say, 12x xp makes things very easy, you are pretty much over-leveled all the way through.

I just came back about a week ago too. I used this guide to get started (can't speak to how good it is mind you) http://huttsdonthavefeet.com/2015/04/26/madness-sorcerer-pvp-guide-by-sceviour-of-jung-ma/ and have been getting on fine, albeit i'm spending a week or so pvping at 55 while i get used to it before buying the expansion and pvping at 60.

^ I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
