Rashava was indeed an excellent impromptu wingman! One thing that helps to extend the bypass a bit is to pre-charge a slug before you pop it. Also, once popped, I go nuts taking shots, even if they aren't well lined up or if the target is moving erratically. You may also notice it more often since, if given the chance, I'll (try to) pop Shayd over pretty much any other imp if given a choice between two =P I don't actually run with Ion Rail since I prefer not to have people accuse me of cheesing. I think some of my teammates in the game Shayd was referencing may have used it, which could account for a few of what might have appeared to be one-shots. Also, a full slug crit can one-shot a scout with full shields/full hull.

Some really solid games tonight. The team may or may not have suggested to "keep Shayd in check" at the start. I do feel bad using bypass sometimes, but I get killed by it just as often as I use it. I draw the line at ion tapping though, that's just one thing I refuse to do that is blatantly OP. Shout outs to my wingman Jon-ik and my gunship rival Delphi as well!

Posted this relevant thread a while ago: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=707157&highlight=tokyo+drifting I haven't been playing much recently, but your experience suggests it's still a problem.

The price you pay for guarding a node while most of the team is off spawn camping. Also, I may or may not have been barrel rolling into walls the first few games back on the desktop after holiday travel laptop gaming...

Not sure if bug or intended but... I've noticed that some combination of strafing + entering railgun scope will allow you to move (slowly) while sniping. I have played a fair amount of games as the gunship (100+) and occasionally find myself drifting unintentionally. My PTT is set to shift+mouse button, and while speaking i occasionally hit one of WASD with shift pressed (set to strafe by default). I assume the strafe is unlike the usual WASD controls, because even with engines killed (via X or right-click railgun) I continue to drift in whatever direction I accidentally started strafing. This makes sniping interesting, especially in tight spaces. At one point I managed to self-destruct while in railgun-sniping mode, which came as a pretty hilarious surprise. As far as fixing the "stuck strafing" situation, strafing in the opposite direction can eventually bring you to a stop, but the only reliable way of coming to a complete stop is to respawn. It makes it difficult to dogfight, snipe, or even just cap an objective when your ship is translating at some odd angle, in addition to flying forward if the engines are on. Has anyone else experienced this with strafe? Am I going crazy?

I have a theory that the scoreboard sometimes attributes the loss of health of a guardian/jugg's enure/endure pain as a single hit for whoever is attacking them at the time. It happened to me in this recent screenshot http://assets-cloud.enjin.com/users/1490490/pics/original/2244503.jpg My shadow hits hard, but not that hard, and 11.6k is about 30% of a tank jugg's health. If you look in the screenshot in question here, the other team had a tank jugg, Mahaal, so it's possible it happened to Saronde as well.

Disregard this post if this has changed recently, but... The SA relic has separate lockouts for heals and for damage, so classes with passive heals (balance sage/shadow, any gunslinger, etc) can proc the power surge buff more often than once every twenty seconds. The two procs can't occur at the same time, but they can occur without locking each other out.

Spec was http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#600RZrsrrdobforsZcM0M.3 I suppose I can give the ship droid a shot, the UI cast glitches have been a pain since 2.0 EDIT: You were right about the ship, new parse of 2448 here: http://www.torparse.com/a/205797/time/1367531933/1367532243/0/Overview

Line too long? follow these simple steps: 1) pick up a cube of your own - now you're a time bomb! 2) proceed to attack line, not killing anyone, just weakening them all below 50% 3) In the process of #2, you will probably die - this is good! 4) blow up on everyone, the damage will kill others with orbs, chain reaction 5) ??? 6) profit Also at some point in this process Nads will get mad at you

Shout-out to Courmac for guarding my poor sage yesterday. I usually dread the nights I get stuck healing, and having a pug step up to take the hits for me is always a nice surprise. Also props for being one of the only true tank vanguards left.

A lot of people are having similar problems. See http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=592405 One common trend is that most of the people with issues are using Comcast. Bioware has yet to post with an ETA on a fix. Actually they haven't even stated they know what the problem is...

This also applies for sages

I chased Plummin around through a majority of the game, and had to run to support grass a few times (we had to put a healer there since we were stacked on heals). After i while i just parked myself up top at mid and rained down rocks, and I'm pretty sure Plummin was underneath me. Games where you get to freecast are rare, so make sure to enjoy them. On an unrelated note, there are definitely some skilled players on this server that play the popping bubble heal spec, but I don't think at this point it is worth getting advice on a spec that is approaching an imminent nerf. When i spec heals now i go full heals, partially because i think the bubble spec is a tad cheesy, and partially to prepare myself for this nerf. If i had a credit for every post I saw with a sorc/sage threatening to retire when the bubbles get nerfed, I'd be pretty wealthy. The reality is, popping bubbles are a bit of a crutch, and anyone learning to heal on a sorc/sage would do themselves good by not having to rely on them. Sure you can claim its a counter to the current smash epidemic, but if Bioware has any semblance of a clue they will tweak that spec as well. -Osi

Considering they are in the same half of the bracket, this can't happen. Nice try though...

I try to keep a low profile, which is lesson number 1 as a DPS sage. You have probably done your fair share of killing me though Zigs. I'm one of the only non-(smasher/pyro) with a damage-related server record other than Asami (10k hit ***?!). I realize that doesn't mean a whole lot in a never-ending civil war but since dps sages/sorcs are a dying breed, and with the upcoming rumored popping bubble nerfs, I figured I'd offer an alternative to all the "QQ I'll never play my sage/sorc again if they nerf bubbles"

Not sure how this turned into a ranked pvp discussion but if anyone is interested in getting mentored as a DPS sage/sorc (and to a lesser extent heals) I would be more than willing to help. -Osidix P.S. I also have plenty of other 50s (jugg/sent/scoundrel/vanguard/slinger) if anyone is interested in 1v1ing a particular class (though i don't consider myself good enough at any of these to mentor someone)
