1. Use Guss 2. Go to town 3. head to the alehouse and collect wenches On a more serious note; Be fairly decently geared, (no need to overdo it, follow the planet curve - add a few happy pieces here and there), and your damage output alone is/should be enough to drop what you need to drop. Combine this with Guss in heal mode - relieve him of offensive duties, bar his cc - and you really should be fine PvE wise. Anyhoots. Thats how I've done it, and I can't say I've had much problems (SS spec'd).

Oh yes! Sunglasses and the first green jacket you get on Ord Mantell, (the crafted orange one - name escapes me) Combine that with me manly 'tache; Yeah baby!

I rushed to get Risha, don't remember when I got her, but it's been pretty easy going since. Turned off her AoE stuff and single target burst my way ahead. Apply CC when needed. I'm main SS, filling in with some Sab goodness.

Hehe, have a fair few years with a ball and chain meself. And just when you thought you have it all figured out - they change the whole thing.

Ah, good to hear. Thanks for the replies lads.

.. and no, I haven't misbehaved. lvl 35 Slinger, Risha affection at approx 6.7k I had a fair few conversations with her when her affection level was up to 4.5k - 4.7k. Since then it's been silent. I'm done with everything up through Alderaan, have Nar Shaddaa bonus series left before moving to Balmorra. Now, it seems strange to me that I've not received a single affection point, or loss, during the amount of conversations I've had throughout the planets. (I rushed to get Risha, wanted to be two ranged DPS' against the world - fun!). Surely RNG can be wierd, and I've tried everything from being Le Hero, via charlatan to a downright **** in my conversations. Nothing. So my question is: Is Risha bugged or is there just a huge gap in her affection level before she talks to me again? (or something else I might have missed) Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Seems...uhm... 'iffy' to just ignore it, we'll see. Anyhoots. I just reseted the quest and are now on: The Wealth of Exiles - travel to Alderaan and Risha will tell more. She has the triangle over her head. But nothing happens except the line "Good Luck Captain. I'm counting on you". (Checked all over the ship for 'second Risha' ) Now, I'm on the fleet and haven't travelled to Alderaan yet - so I have that cut-scene coming. - will check for second Risha on ship - second Risha in spaceport - ignore it?

First of, apologies if elsewhere, point me where to go - if so. I'm not a 100% when this occured, but I think it was somewhere between finishing my class quest on Nar Shaddaa and the start of Tatooine. I travel to Tatooine, Risha has her normal chit-chat and after the cutscenes she is left with a quest triangle over her head. When clicked she just responds some generic stuff. Finished class quest on Tatooine, (went laughably fast). Back on board. More normal quest-related chit-chat, done with that. Get told to head to Alderaan. Quest triangle over her head. Again, or.. the same one.. Click = generic nonsense. --- I haven't bugged this, yet. Wanted to check with the community first. - first of. is it a bug - or will the quest come? - if the quest will come, when? Thanks

Maul. Come on. Pretty please - with fairies and unicorns on - fix it.

It's the harassment spec. We are, (can be), annoying as hell. Travel the flanks and the backlines, find the support lines. Get in for the kill, (quite doable), or harass the living bedjeebus out of them until they have to concentrate on you and/or get help. Can be quite fun. Can be really frustrating. I like it.

Was just gonna say; get Talos! but see you already did I rushed Hoth just to get him - walk in the park after that.

Sterling piece of logic that. How on earth did that reply equal to no PvP skills?

Deception spec here. Used Khem all the way to Talos. Khem really started to lose it mid-30s-ish. I then rushed the class quest to get Talos, (got him at 38 I believe, not sure). With Talos, all is fine.

Not what you want to hear, but this one I had no trouble with. For me, I had more troubles with the one on the roof by the market on Tatooine, (Empire side), could never got the jump right. My point is. Different people will have different problems - concering these platform-beamy-jumpy-things. Keep at it. Cool head. And you'll get it. Good luck.

Just to go back a bit, because it's close to my thoughts. For some reason, when/if someone states something similar to the above quoted, there will "always" be a response along the lines of "I had no troubles/learn rotations/skills/what-have-you". Even if you had no troubles with content, (all of it/parts of it/none of it), does not mean that there's nothing - I don't want to say 'wrong', but something.. lacking - in this spec. So far, I've not had any particular problems. By all means, I've had a fair share of beatdowns/troublesome encounters and so forth, (the one that gave me the biggest problem was that dang bug-queen-thingie on Balmorra, heh), but I've still managed. I do think there is something lacking to the Deception tree - I really do. I wish I could point to a multi-page thesis on the subject with charts, comparisons etc., but I can't. Maybe lacking isn't the right word. Perhaps we need some tuning?
