*** is that supposed to mean. I play a power tech and a sorc. Grappling hook works fine for me. You know I'm getting real sick of people saying sorc = noob.

My Keybindings are as follows: W = Move Forward A = Strafe Left S = Backpedal D = Strafe Right q e r f c x 1 2 3 mouse button 1 mouse button 2 Mouse button wheel click And then shift plus all of these. It works well and fills the bottom rows. Also, when i wanna burst out damage, i have adrenal, recklessness and relics on P 0 - = so i can just press them in succession to quickly add like 1k of damage / spell works well

Which is ironic as you'd think in a star wars game all the little 12 year olds would want to swing lightsabers around...

Taugrim, coming from a 40 sorc if that matters, would you recommend this spec or Your Iron fist spec for levelling/early pvp? My power tech is level 21 atm and plan on pvping regularly.

Lmao wow. well thats problem number one... If your target doesn't have affliction on your doing it wrong. Affliction is instant and cheap. put it on EVERYTHING. In Voidstar i can put on 8 afflictions in like 5 seconds lmao...well more like 12-20 depending on cluster and movement but 5 sounds cooler XP

I've seen 50 sorcs do 720k damage. If your sucking at 50 pvp, its cuz u don't have the gear. quit whining and do the grind. /thread

I dont understand the big deal. as biochem you save a tonne of money. The Rakata IS strictly better: Its reusable. I don't know about you but i like saving money on Medpaks due to them being reusable...

Quick Question Astral: With the 31/0/10 build, would you recommend going all the way up or getting upheaval first for PvP??

can i start buying them before i hit level 50 or only at level 50??

how much does 1 champ bag cost?? also is there somewhere else i can buy Expertise mods or just from the Weapons/Armour from PvP vendors.

So im a level 35 Sorc at the moment, and since i've bought my level 20 PvP gear, i've been saving up Merc commendations to get Bags for level 50 gear. Now that that is the case, I'm now saving up my commendations for Armor after buying my first weapon. My question is how else should i be preparing for 50? i want to find out how exactly i can prepare myself for 50 better as all I'm seeing are QQ's about new level 50's that aren't equally geared and are getting smashed to smithereens.... So other than saving up to 1000 Merc Commendations, wat else should i be doing??

agreed with...everyone. No matter what spec you are, you should ALWAYS level up 16 in madness to get wrath...well unless your a healer... Not only that but you also get Death Field along the way which is a bonus

If you put points into Arsenal properly you get Tracer Missile at 20, which is huge. Heatseaker is at the top of the arsenal tree. i love people who tell the level 20-30 to use heat seeker in their rotation

THAT WOULD BE EPIC! FALCON PUNCH!!!

That it does. I've gotten as high as 8 little numbers pop up, all for 300 it was a great game...sigh...

...this has to be a joke... Are u kidding me???

Ok i haven't read this whole thread, so i apologize if this has been said, but those of you saying stick with lightning for synergy are stupid. I'm sorry. OP, if you want high DPS at 21 do yourself a favour. Go Madness. This build is wat i had at 21: 21 spec you now have one of the best spec talents for sorc: Madness. Force lightning is about the become your best friend. Then go up to this: Level 25 to get Wrath and your DPS will skyrocket i promise. Then start building to this: Level 36 and your DPS will become god like. Your rotation after this becomes Affliction and keep applying whenever out Death Field Force Lightning to get Wrath Crushing Darkness Force Lightning to get Wrath Chain Lightning Shock, hopefully Chains into another instant Shock to kill them then the 50 build is either This Madness Heavy or This Heavy CC Build i love Sorcs and don't worry. i was a huge noob once. I started watching streams, doing research, and now i never finish below top 3 in damage EVER.

pretty similar actually... Your going up to someone not quite in the thick of battle... Start with Affliction and apply whenever out Death Field Force Lightning spam till wrath crushing darkness force lightning spam chain lightning and, if you need a killing blow, shock. pretty much it...

Why would you not put points into dark ward...

My question is how the hell does your Upheaval do 10k total damage at times?!

Madness is way better than lightning, in the pure way at least. However.... The best way to go is to do a hybrid like this for example. This gives you the best skill in lightning (chain lightning), Forked Lightning for more Damage, more CC's in Backlash and Electric Bindings, and Force Suffusion to never run out of force. Or you can do something like this for the increased Crushing Darkness/Affliction Damage. This is less burst and more sustained, as your affliction and crushing darkness do a LOT of damage, plus you get the increased damage with Death Field. The key to these is 2 skills in particular. Having death field and chain lightning is great, but the reason you go into madness are two talents. Madness and Wrath. Wrath is a proc that has a 30% chance of each tick of force lightning to grant Chain Lightning/Crushing Darkness/Lightning Strike to be instant cast. Madness gives Force Lightning no cool down, which is huge. These are what make madness...maddening

Haha ok i can provide some actual specs to show wat I'm talking about. (and as a note to the poster above, watching procs is fine as, with a sorc, I'm always watching for wrath procs and bubble "procs?" so thats fine!) The 23/0/18 spec I'm looking at is this: Kinetic/Balance Hybrid helps to provide survivability, added CC viability, decent burst but not phenomenal, and good all around DPS. Doesn't use TT much, as no dipping into Harnessed Darkness. Form: Combat. Rotation: Not really sure...some help would be great Next Spec: Harnessed Shadows...essentially the only reason to go this high without going to 31. Harnessed Shadows Kinetic/Infiltration Build similar survivability, loses Force in Balance for the added DPS/Healing of Telekinetic Throw. Like i said I'm new to this class so any advice on these specs would be great Last Spec: Heavy Infiltration Upheaval Infiltration 0/33/8 this is the highest Burst build i know about. has the last 8 points for Upheaval, which is awesome in my experience as a sorc, as its just like chain shock right? Any other tips or tricks or advice for choosing specs? I'm leaning towards the balance hybrid due to having Force in Balance, but i don't know how much AoE is useful for a melee class.

70 views and NO one has help. Sorry I'm a newb to this class I'm not used to melee

Im thinking of switching over to republic and trying out a shadow, so before i did that i was doing some research into specs. Im coming from a sorc and i figured there would be one or two really good specs. I was wrong. I've seen tank specs burst specs hybrid specs good specs and bad specs. What I'm trying to figure out is one that fits my play style. The problem is i don't know what that is... Im only thinking of tanking when i get to higher levels, and if tanks are needed more often ill switch into full tanking. I like quick damage, but i don't want to die as soon as my target begins to attack me. So between 23/0/18, 27/14/0, 27/0/14, or 0/33/8 which is survivable and damaging? Anyone have some tips??

how do u get medical supplies? buy them??
