I was in a hammer station run with a shadow tank and we just finished the second boss and instead of fighting the next mob he said don't attack he can cc both and it looks like he did. they were both cc'ed as we passed by. So, can he really do this and if so, how? If he can't, it is possible we had another cc'er in the group that I wasn't paying attention to but I really don't think so.

I just added my fourth set piece and I am supposed to get a 1.5 second reduction to Healing Trance but when I check the numbers it goes from 7.6 cooldown before to 6.4 cooldown after. Isn't it supposed to be 1.5 seconds less at 6.1 seconds after? Is there something I am missing?

ok that explains a lot. I have had some tanks who seem to die on the second set of stacks that I cannot cleanse and they seem to think its my fault.

so if the healer can't do the second cleanse immediately, does the tank have to do it or just let it run to 5 and reset?

I am wondering if I am doing something wrong during the tunneler fight. As a healer, I know I have to cleanse the tank at 4-5 stacks but after I cleanse I am on a 30 second cool down and sometimes the debuff comes right back on the tank. There is nothing I can do during cool down so is this a bug or does the tank have to cleanse when this happens? I posted this in flashpoints also but thought I might get a better answer here from a healer.

After reading about the new content, it sounds like the command system is no more and the command tokens, Ossus crystals, and unassembled components will be no good after the patch. If this is correct, how can I dump my command tokens for something useful? The only vendor I know if is the guy behind the desk on the fleet that sells the boosts and crafting component. Where else can I use them?

Is the 248 build for accuracy, crit, alacrity, and power still the same with a few more points or is there a new build for gunnery with 252+ gear?

Thats good to know. I thought it was intended to be this way, didn't know it is a bug with the set pieces.

I was wondering what strategy people are using for converting over to ossus armor set pieces with commando? If you have all 7 old set pieces, its obvious to use one new ossus piece, but after two or more, when do you start moving over to the ossus gear?

My problem is I cannot add any more ram. The game plays fine except when I try to play 16 man ops or the Ossus bosses that are really bad. I get maybe 1 frame per second during those fights. I have a 650 ti and could upgrade unless its a waste of time with a 4 gb of ram limit. I am hoping someone still plays with 4 gb and can post their video card that works better than what I am getting.

I am considering upgrading my video card if it would help with frame rate on larger group fights but with only 4 gb ram, not sure if any video card will help. Anyone have decent or playable frame rate with 4gb ram? If so, post your video card. Thanks

I am new to sorcerer dps and recently noticed that during the EV infernal council fights I am the last to finish my boss. I have pretty good gear 246-248 with augments, so I thought I might have a rotation problem. After searching a little on sorcerer dps, it seems I might be more underpowered that the other classes. So now I have to decide whether to change to heals with sorcerer or wait it out for improvements. Is there any word on changes to sorcerer lightning dps? Is sorcerer that bad that raids will try to avoid them? Would it help at all to try madness instead of lightning? Since I am lvl 300, it won't be too hard to switch to heals for better gameplay if dps is really that bad.

I see he is only 500k so what would the minimum group be to beat him?

Are the schematics equal chance of dropping or are the crit and alacrity a more rare drop? I have all the other but these two have not dropped for me. Is this bad luck or are they rare?

I just cannot figure out why I have take cover and crouch are two different options. I don't see any practical difference, can someone explain what the difference is, if any. I know you will roll into a cover spot but what other difference is there. Is is common now to use a stim to boost your accuracy instead of augments?

I remember reading that with a previous upgrade, xp users were sol and there would be no support in the future. I remember a post that a temp fix would keep us ingame until October when a certificate would expire and then we had to upgrade. I was unable to log in today and some of the same issues seem to be happening so is this the end today?

With 10 stacks build, I can use supercharge cell on myself or supercharged celerity for the group. In a boss fight, which would be more practical, my buff or the 10 second alacrity group buff? I use gunnery, I don't know if this buff is for all commandos or just gunnery.

No chance there is a workaround?

Is this because I had to revert to the older loader because of winxp, or is this a different issue for me? My network connection seems fine to me so not sure what the problem is. There is some activity from my router, am i actually downloading and just not seeing it?

I have a Gemini MK-2 242 set piece and just got a Lokath MK-5 244 set piece. The Lokath will give me +8 armor +35 mastery +14 endurance -63 power I is there a rule of thumb on upgrading armor since the gold 242 sure looks better that the blue 244?

Thanks for the info. I think I see why its done that way on the target dummy.

The opener for the rotation is Grav round, but since there is a cast time, mine is 1.29 sec., why not open with Vortex bolt and Grav round becomes instant? Seems like you are saving time and adding a little more opening damage? My second question is how to activate supercharged cell. The only way I see to use it is after 10 stacks of supercharge, but that takes time, so how is it in the opening rotation? Was this available before 5.3 or am I missing something?

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=929125 Follow this thread I made. I got it to work for me after renaming the patch folder.

You did it!!! I renamed my patch folder and I got the loading screen. I can log in and play now. Thanks for the info
