Today I got home and parsed with my new 60 commando for half an hour.. Then I go to my main character my Vigilance Guardian. He parses at 4500 consistant no sweat and goes to 4600. Well I started hitting my ship dummyfuly buffed and I had trouble getting over 4200. it seemed like a hair lag or summy and character twitch on screen. I could not believe *** was happening... I hit that dummy over 3 hours worth at least. I shut down starparse and restarted my game and same thing. Once in a while it would go to 4400 and go back down to 4300. I started to doubt myself to *** was going on..I make 4400 easy without the crit buff and now fully buffed I was not even hitting solid 4200. One parse I noticed I was at 4950 which my eyes lit up and thought finally maybe it was me then it dropped to 3800 and I almost lost it.... I could not parse 3800 if I did not half a pulse and sleeping..from 4600 to 3800 no way.... this was a warmup for ops... We went for Monolith and my numbers work properly and I my dps was correct. For some reason on the dummy numbers were anything but consistant which is why I am here.. Googled dummy bugged swtor and here I am... So my questiont is, Is there a known bugg?

Haha that last post was funny. I love my JK guardian. It seems the kiddies want everything handed to them . 1 button mash own... lol. I like having those guys are actually because they are simple to kill. They can't figure out or research their character. I can tank and dps in pve and pvp. I got so many combinations to throw at players or npc's. As for pvp in our server Rakata mind prison. The highest damage total in battleground has been a JK which I can't imagine how but I am getting their. Insane totale damage and this guy que solo unless he ques with lowbies. INSANE... I've played a gnome warrior vs mage haha and i know it can be frustrating but its still doable. Just need to step back and read all your abilities with patience and talents as well.

If it's one thing i've learned is if you see someone write down their adventures and put themselves on a pedestal it's usually because they lack and immature. It is what it is man so listen to yourself, and as for the main question at hand Mandalorian raiders. You are going to loose aggro anytime you got good dps which is a good thing. Step up and do your research. Make efficient decision which mob takes highest priority because you can not tank all range and melle at the same time as JK unless they come stacked already. It's easy for us to tank as many melle adds as possible but multiple range will give you problems but nothing a force push cant help you with.

Ha that funny. I've read most of this forum and heard you talk how JK sucks when your group seems to have a problem with SOA. I'm guessing the guys you hang around with lack dps to even take threat. I have my JK on Rakata Mind Prison PVP and he's geared for dps and tanking both pve and pvp and it seems to me you talk a lot but you don't really know. We've had JK dps in pvp deal 457k damage in 1 match just maul every IMP. I love my JK and no doubt he isn't a AOE aggro tank the sucker can dps and he can tank. I've tanked in full Defensive and full Vigilance and no doubt Defensive is top end full out tank but vigilance is viable for heroic modes and even Vault atm which im tanking in Vigilance. Reason I love Vigilance is because of the dps and credits. I can switch gear and stances and some hurt down on pvprs and npc's.

Honestly I want addons. I want to see where I'm at in damage. All I care for is damage meter so as to improve my dps better than the next guy. Crits damage doesn't mean jack even in WoW. A mage critting for 90k doesnt mean jack for my hunters constant damage. My jedi Knights damage can crit but I know it doesn't mean much. I want to know my real dps. I'm all for it and if they can add it ingame or addon I'd love it. Keeps people competing with one another which makes em work more for their character which just addicts us more lol.

In our server I've seen a Jedia knight do 470,000 in civil war basicly tear everyone up. Yes he has all pvp gear, but fact is fact. Jedi Knight is very viable dps for PvP.

My question is can this be done? Does it follow the rules or is it just a bugg?

I could not agree more. WoW now hands away free loot All you have to do is showup in the BG or instance. It's not that theyw are ignorant. It's that they too lazy to read up, study up, or look up at their characters abilities and the massive amounts of combinations they could create. I remember Vanilla WoW the first duels when I used to loose so much until I won 90% of the matches because I knew every type of characters abilities , cooldowns, etc. I feel confidant now that I have the clear knowledge when I'm outclassed due to spec abilities and so on. Just couple of days ago in a pve instance(flashpoint), a healer rolled on melle items with strength which was a huge upgrade and also with another guy who was a tropper rolling on strength gear only for the fact that they saw heavy armor on it. These guys clearly did not do the first thing any gamer should do which is look at what stats you need to PPP(pawn,pillage, and plunder) enemies. GO *(&) learn your @)(&)($)% toon before stating comments.

Mainly for Cosmetic meaning if you like the look of the cloak, you can leave it inventory bags until you get mods(item enhancement) that you can put on it for the appropriate level you are currently, and use another cloak wich is an upgrade at your current level. It's for the look. I saw a sweet white cloak that look awesome.

Guys the dang game had to come out sooner or later because it could also no stay in BETA forever. Do you guys realize that. I'm sure that BIOWARE could have made it paid server transfers on release date if they would have decided to release the game even more farther ahead. The game had to be released at 1 point. This is the starting point where the kinks and mechanichs are fully discovered and then we get paid transfers. It takes time to develope and integrate. So question is are you happy to play it now or would you rather have waited till paid transfers were developed, because if so you can always leave and pretend game hasn't release and come back when they finally have Player server transfers.

Agreed, been playing WoW since release which is a bout 7 years. WoW has just gotten old.Same maps strategies just remixed. It's first day so give it a chance. I remember wow had so many exploits for the first 3 years in warsong bg. It's barely the first week and few are capped. Imagine if everything was instaque and you'de win everytime and a hundren different variety of battlegrounds, for X reason something would be wrong still. Either too easy or too many BG's or what not. I say they did good in allowing 3 BG starting off with to get the people used to pvp content for the new game.

You know I think it's ok. I don't know if you ever played WoW but as of lately armor is being tossed out at you every which way. You pvp and you get free gear. You do Raid ques you just have to show up because content is way too easy and you get gear. I'd lean away from that. I like to make it worthwhile so not just anybody can get the gear.

I agree on the cast bars,but for the name plates, correct me if im wrong but if you increase size , you actually increase everyone's do you not? What I would like is maybe a larger base circle with a preferance setting where we hid name plates unless they are targetted. I play a jedi knight so when I do say Master strike which are 2 graphic actions for around 2.5 seconds, I can interrupt the action with less than a second response time to interrupt and works well since it's not like DCUO where graphic cancellation still deals the damage which creates bugs. I have preferances set to .0 que time. I'm not a caster so I don't know how it's working for you guys chanelling. I will say this. It's barely a day so give it some time to settle. Rift barely got a couple of mods out so I'm sure something will work out. Remember Vanilla wow didn't have cast bars to start either until mods came out and wow put them ingame.

First off i see a lot of complaining where as I've played wow since launch where the issue was far worse. When it was outdoor pvp and if you just stepped 1 foot in front of the mob you died almost instantly. I've played it for 7 years and have the guts to say I was first Grand Marshall hunter in vanilla wow which took a lot of pvping. WoW has come a long way since then and has added Resilience to please the PVErs over easy pvp loot with raid stats. I just cancelled my WoW account 2 days ago because its the same thing over and over. Same maps etc.. I 1. doubt you guys have even capped level and gotten the PVP gear and by that i don't mean the level 20 gear the pvp vendor sells that has PVE stats. 2. At any game at any level you will be killed by more skilled players. Republic has the same abilities as the Empire balancewise. I have played more MMOs that I made it a decision to cap level and give it a month after cap level to make a well made decision and I have been right. At level 13-25 I have had my butt handed more ways that I can count but at level 27 I saw a big difference. I gained abilities to CC as well and countered enemies. I'm a Jedi knight guardian tank specc which is harder for me to kill down targets but easy to kill ,but at level 27 I gained a couple of CCs that I can handle my own. 3. I will agree on 1 thing targetting. It is barely visible but not a game breaker. I have a tough time tanking in instances with half of my aggro abilities. Healers and dpsrs are pulling leve and right but I know their is an AOE ability later on that will even it out. Targetting would be better like i said if they put a more noticable marker on target other than a faded basepoint circle. I have so far enjoyed the game. I still remember vanilla WoW and you obviously do not. I play in Rakata Mind Prison PvP server. I am used to Horde and now Sith winning since Republic can't get there act strait. Love the insta que and can't wait to finally cap level and get my epic pvp gear.

It's going to be done by both sides regardless. In my experience in prior games and being ganked by higher levels, I enjoyed it. I'm not a masochist but it is a changed from normal pve servers who can flag up. Soon as I capped level I went on a killing streak to get it out of my system but never camped the spawning ground. Now I will kill a lowbie if im walking along and he is in the path but I will not take the time from doing other things to camp.
