Pretty much this. The changes to WoW pretty much killed it for me. ie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden crap", Murder of Crows, Stampede all screamed "hey we cant figure balance and game play out so here's more crap to mash". I'm holding out hope they can figure it out but to me it just seems like we will start the same vicious cycle over again.

Age: 43 year old MMO gamer. Career: EXVP/COO Multi Million $ Construction Company Played a ton of WoW in a hardcore raiding guild till it became the regurgitated mess has become with the last Expac. I will not be playing with the pandas. Played SWTOR since launch and love the game. I have played Aion, Rift, STO, Tera and this is by far the best experience I have had in an MMO. Its not perfect but looking at all the launches of past MMO's it to me is the best.

Crafting materials are gathered through the use of a gathering profession. ie. Armormech uses Underworld Trading and Scavenging to get materials to use to craft items for use or sell. If you are interested in a crafting profession you can either 1) have gathering professions to support it. 2) buy the materials of the GTN. http://HTTP://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=530 Is a link to a great post breaking down all the crew skills and the gathering skills that better support each one. Now at a certain level your crafting will require "inert" items that can be used in combination with gathered materials to craft different itms these "inert" materials can be purchased from the crew skills vendor. Hope this helps.

I realize you know what it looks like, the description was more for my clarification, not sure why you didn't just ask about the RD-04B set but hey prob just me. Since 90% of the quest rewards for Moddable gear are BOP coupled with the fact I have seen them on the GTN I would try farming Champions or World Bosses on Alderaan since they seem to be a good sorce for BOE Orange gear. Good luck with your search the set is hot looking and different and that's why I chose it.

If you are talking about the level 30 ish boots and pants you get from commendation badges it could be the RD-04B Sharpshooter set. The helm is round with a targeting lense, long coat white and grey in color. There is a screen shot in this post http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=234058. I believe there is a similar drop from Cademimu. I was able to pick up the helm and chest off the GTN.

With the 0/13/28 Tele/Bal Hybrid I use the following "rotation". Weakened Mind TK Throw to PoM proc Mind Crush Force in Balance TK Throw to PoM proc TK Wave Rinse and repeat. I always try to apply Mind Crush (on CD) with a PoM proc and then FiB, stacking your MC and FiB makes for a nice "rotation" rng permitting. As for your question about worthless spells, Disturbance would top my list with the 13/28 build because your TK Throw should be your filler since it drives your PoM procs and with PB regens 1% of your total force 100% of the time.
