Yeah using sweeping slash is an awesome trick to build fury on the go. If I have the ball or a teammate I am running with I always use that to build fury then pop it. Another good trick if you have the 100% no dmg with force camo is to camo infront of the ball carry through the fire for a pass. You would be surprised at the number of people that try to follow you and die lol.
Another obvious one is to take the ball in the pit having their team chase you then charge back up to a cat walk or a noob standing on the edge by the goal shooting you. It should be no surprise that a handful of mercs will stand there spamming tracer.
Our nitch is support and quick ball movement imo although a good group wont stand where we can easily leap to them.

I tend not to vote for top dmg cause more often then not these days that person is BM geared and they often ignore objectives, which is fine play how you want but dont expect people to give you a pat on the back.
For the votes, if someone takes lead of a PuG they are usual supporting objectives or getting in passing lanes to win. I toss it their way or someone else that played to win. (unless I have seen that person farming before in a match we would've won had they actually assisted in the objectives). If no one stands out, Top Heals. If no heals stand out then I look for Protection. Typically though I pay attention to whom is using Guard on me, healing me or taunting off me. I always play for objectives cause winning is all that matters, so anyone healing or guarding me is objectively playing so I vote for them.
If we get stomped I most likely dont vote unless someone stands out. Also if I know someone bails on a WZ when the other team scores first or takes 2 nodes I dont vote for them. Thats one of the nice things about no cross server WZs you have seen a lot of the people you play with.

i have yet to meet anyone that has gotten a champion token from the new bags.
champion gear costs more comms than centurion gear. champion gear is 67 for the set pieces and 123 for the weapon.
I got the champ gloves in my 3rd bag I opened after the patch. Granted prior to the patch I was 4 for 39 with a dupe belt.
To the op I opened 6 bags when I hit 50 got my belt and main hand then upgraded all my orange gear to lvl 49 mods and bought 122-126 pieces as a mar I did alright. I took the enh mod out of the level 42 wep as well. You have to pick targets and escape and generally not be rambo. Overall it has been pretty enjoyable although my numbers weren't as high till I got 3 champ pieces plus the cent chest/legs. Stick with it my friend and hopefully rng smiles on you.

haha i dont wanna say again what i said at least 20 times till now.
just read some more posts and u will understand.
i dont aproove RNG system and luck causr at my 65 valor i had only 5 camps and 300 exp.
so ofc NO i didnt like it.
what im trying to say is that ,as it is now u can get full champ gear in one week period,thats all,while i had to open hundreds of them and be lucky ..
well as 65 with 300 exp i think i wasnt.
was i the stupid one to play from day one pvp ?and the newcomer is the smart one?
if yes im w8ing a "yes" from and admin ,so i can continue in another game or w8 for arenas (which) i hate but as it is now i really want them cause i need some challenge.
Here's the thing, I am like 4 for 40 on champ bags prior to yesterday with one a duplicate. I have a friend whom started a while ago whom is almost 50 this benefits him and I am happy for that, yeah it sucks for those that had bad rng. But I LIKE PvPing, so what else would I be doing anyway? Picking flowers? I bought the Cent chest and Legs, but heck doing the Ilum daily, weekly and Wz dails I got enough Cent tokens pretty much in what it took me a week to get previously, its a *** lol but oh well.
It is good for the game, I want to have fun and fair PvP giving people cent gear helps with that some. Now if they could just stop the AFKers. Oh they got 2 nodes right away, lets leave....
-
I was 4 for 39I on champ bags after going 2 for my first 6. Then today on my 3rd one I got tokens and gloves. Idk at least I got a grip of cent tokens and almost enough champ ones to get another piece. Not all bad better then my prior rng that's for f'n sure.
-
I hear ya I went for the gamble since I am 3 for 35 hoping my luck would change but 3 cent tokens for all the bags. Oh well some people got the rng going I am not one of them.
-
Personally I think the wins not counting for the quest sucks *** and is the most frustrating part for me personally. Then they finally count and you get 3the tokens. Some people are lucky though when I hit 50 I went 2 for 6 on bags. Since then 2 for 28 with a duplicate it is frustrating when you grind out the wins then get shat.
-
I dinged 50 yesterday. Opened up 6 bags and got 2 items. Did 2 dailies and got another item. 3 out of 8 so far with the old system (opened all in ops groups).
I would be interested in your ratio. I dinged on Sunday opened 6 I will the fleet went 2 for 6. First one implant 6th one main hand LS. Did the daily and weekly Wzs one and Illum daily next got nothing, bought 2 got nothing. Did the 2daily dailys next day and got the belt, then 3 more and another belt. All but the 2 dailys opened not in an ops group but of the 2 I got a dup belt token.
Last night I did the wz daily and completed the weekly plus 1 from tokens. Got a relic.
-
They need to do something since they can't figure out how to make wins count for they daily quest. 4 hours of wzs with 3 wins yet only 1 counts. That *********** blows when it happens day after day. How they can't do a compare or tally for wins in the code is beyond me. I will write the code if they need since they can't seem to get it.
-
I think the main point here is dude is complaining and over stating talents and what they do. Personally I love my mar and the more champ gear I get the deadlier I am. I don't see the need for any buffs really to the class if played correctly, not to say I do all the time, you are a machine.
The issue being in pve they are squishy which I believe is part of the complaining as someone noted about resolve in PvP will resolve issues. Anyway people will complain because it can't be them that's the issue. Not referring to the op but people that play the class.
Good luck all and have fun!

I still give them leeway with this being their 1st multiplayer game, but when you can't fix a counter with a patch meant to fix it....that kind of hurts your image little.
Concur while their at it just put wins and losses on a tab for us personally and count daily and weekly wins then they can use that for it. I mean really it should just be a column in a database table then compare it to the quest table with required number of wins. Shamzam! Lol
-
This extremely frustrating when you are under geared and pugging for something that should be an easy fix its like ***.
That said someone told me if you uncheck the quest so it isn't tracked ie displayed on your screen it should fix the issue. I cannot confirm this but I am going to try it tonight.
Also I open a ticket everytime cause they keep closing them. Yeah its a b**** move but w/e for alts and new players win are important to be counted with the lotto who knows you might go on a hot bag streak and roll in pieces, heck I saw a valor 27 with only a few champ items missing. I almost cow punched him cause I was jelly. Anyhow I would keep queuing regardless cause I like PvP but I still want my bags as fast as possible to get closer to even ground with early 50s.
Off topic but maybe bumping up cent tokens per bag wouldn't be so bad. Let people at least get the lowest gear faster. Of you are a good player you can make up for that difference I would think. Like up to 6 or 5. Idk just a thought.
-
I find it more profitable to send my comps out on mid level bioanalysis missions and sell the mats tbh. Slicing is nice for the box on dailies or what not and the purple missions of you critical but the rest of the gain isn't much really for me anyway. I have been considering dropping it.
-
Do you mean recently because of todays patch as I think that's what he is asking. Although the thread in general looks encouraging I haven't been able to test it yet.
-
I am not sure how everyone is doing since they made it so medpacs don't count as the 2.5k heal and 5k there's 2 medals we can't get. Due to that I expect we are a down in medals if you have biochem. I also so alot of geared mars chasing the low levels around previously at least on my server I highly suspect they are not doing as well. Then if your on a bad bag streek. Lol.
Also I heard the annilation talent isn't working correctly I assume the stacks and c/d , which Stmp noted that dev is aware of. Really comes down who you queue with and gear lvl I think the most and of course ability to play the class
-
How I think they will probably do it since all data in in a database, restore the backup they took prior to the patch to the SQL Server. Run a comparison between the 2 for valor over the time period. This will provide a list that gained X valor levels during that time frame and start there. With X being whatever they determine as exploiting.
Building the list using the back up isnt that hard really, the real question what is unreasonable valor gain? Going from 54-60 in 4.5 hours? They have the real metrics on what they find is reasonable given dailies, WZs and OPvP in Illumi. But you get the idea.
-
Interesting I don't see Stmp ever hit 100k healing as anni with great gear the top biochem packs and 500k dmg at valor 70. I am curious how someone hits 100k healing? Maybe he has a few times but it isn't at the dmg amount claimed in this thread.
-
I leveled rage till 37 when I changed to anni to check it put. Idk I feel like against regular mobs with just a silver I had better survivability on golds my dots get rolling and its all good. But personal I liked rages synergy when you get the talent to with fc get 4 stacks use 1 of the charges and smash good times.
I would say just give them a try and give it a few levels to really get a feel for it. The bummer really is the specs almost need the top talent to really have complete flow and synergy. I have only used Quinn once in a heroic quest I soloed. Through piping I am always a level or 2 above the class quest which is probably why.
Good luck

Some of the Taris Heroic Quests reward some very nice looking red armor w/cape (and an AWESOME mask).. The chest piece and mask are what I am using now (I skipped the set legs because they were a skirt).

That is the Force Sensitive set or something like that?
Thanks

Hey All,
Is there something I am missing, it doesnt seem by default you can zoom out that far. When I watch some streams I noticed others are at a farther out zoom. During Beta I would achieve this for a bit by zooming out when on the transportation between points, however while I can still do it now in live it goes back to the not so zoomed out zoom level when landing almost right away.
Am I missing an option or is there another way to zoom out then the down mouse wheel?
Thanks for the help!

Note: Interrupting a heal locks it out for 4 secs your post doesnt seem to note that as it isnt exactly a GCD exchange as you state.
I love how people "say you're doing it wrong" there are some subjective points as X pointed out. Some people like the 2 points to talent rupture for the slow. Some people dont like the talent that resets ruptures c/d. Preference isnt doing it wrong. There are instances where using FC to interrupt can help. Positioning and such and help with knock backs and location on certain maps.
It might not be optimal to use it all the time for that with our other tools, however it still has its uses and there is some wiggle room in the spec to pick up things you prefer.
With PvPers having vast skill differences and gear differences different tactics affect them differently, nothing is absolute when humans are involved and there are scenarios where it can be useful. That said to each their own.
Have a good weekend gentlemen and ladies.
