Badly mistaken. You can get recruit gear for free from the outlaw's den, A pvp area on tatooine. You would've found it if you would've done all the PvP quests in your log. You'll also wear the recruit gear for much longer than 3-5 days, It's impossible to win every PvP game you play in under 10 minutes getting yourself 115 WZ comms per game if you are wearing PvE gear. A full Battlemaster set costs 12.475 WZ comms, I dare you to get together that many WZ comms in 3-5 days. It also increases your damage dealt in PvP and healing received, Dying less often isn't it's only benefit. Still confused why you want BM gear at all if living 3 seconds longer is so pointless to you?

Depends on the scenario.. Is the sin facing a PvE geared opponent? Is the sin facing an idiot? Is the sin in WH gear? Is the sin getting heal assists? Is the sin a skilled player?

Not such a good idea letting anyone else but the tanks have aggro on boss, Just better to switch tanks.

Pro's of Recruit gear: ~ You gain 10% damage increase in PvP ~ you gain 10% damage reduction in PvP ~ You gain 7% increase in healing received in PvP Cons: ~ You loose 2k HP ~ You loose 1-2k Primary stat (If geared with 50 mods, You actually gain some primary stat if wearing corellia armor) Pros of wearing PvE gear in a WZ: .. There are none Cons of PvE gear in a WZ: ~ You take anywhere from 10 - 30% more damage from players ~ Your damage against enemy players can get reduced anywhere from 10-30% ~ You gain no bonus in healing received

There is no down side whatsoever to bringing an all ranged group. 1st Boss ~ Avoid Fearful much easier, Avoid AoE much easier. 2nd Boss ~ Can have ranged DPS'ing and kiting at the same time, Can DPS Tanks from inside the shield if quick enough. 3rd Boss ~ Can kill droids on Vorgath before they even come in attack range, Can spread out better than melee when facing Vorgath, making AoE circles less of a deal. 4th Boss ~ Can avoid the big cleave that Kephess does much easier, Big droids that spawn in his 3rd phase can be DPS'd down while they are channeling. Another great example of BW favoring ranged DPS, There is no point in bringing more than 1 melee to EC, if even that. The only pro is that if it's a mara/sent, you'll get Predation & Bloodthirst. No point in bringing a Jugg or PT since their damage mitigation is highly overrated, Assassins & Operatives apparently have the weakest DPS but the only point in bringing them would be for the stealth rezz. But way more ideal to put them as Healaer & Tank than DPS.

The LFG tool should've been here few months ago when there was 300+ ppl on my fleet shouting for FP's. But now doing FP's is totally pointless and there is less than 50ppl on my fleet during peak times. Don't forget the painful queue times, there are rumors about servers not having a single WZ popped for over a week. ..I'd like to either have cross server systems or a huge merge between servers. Merge would be the best, nothing uglier than seeing 100+ Light servers, 20 Standard and 1 Heavy. Whatever they do they need to do it fast and make PvP more alive and faster, PvE more rewarding to do.

Of course you are supposed to use BM gear when you get it, But to get it faster and to make life easier for your team mates you should wear recruit gear. It gives you a boost in PvP combat, Healing, DMG reduction and damage done compared to if you had nothing. Hp =/= Being helpful in PvP Expertise = Being helpful in PvP It Boosts damage done, Reduces damage taken and healing received.. It's better to have 10% DMG Reduced, Done, healing received and 13k HP than to have 0% Healing received, Damage reduction or boost in PvP and have 15k HP..

Ever heard of keeping a PvP set and a PvE set? You take of your PvE gear put it in either your bag or cargo hold then PvP... Once you are done you switch your gear for PvE content. Your stats shouldn't get buffed because if it were so I could go clear EV & KP and get a full set of rakata, then go stomp on people in PvP. I stomp on people in PvP without having done any PvP. Same goes vice versa, I can PvP and get full BM, Buffing my stats, Then I can go down the new raid on HM without have done any raids.. See the problem? How hard is it to keep 2 different sets of gear? It's gonna last longer than a day. It takes a few hours to get enough commendations in order to get a BM piece. But buying ONE BM piece won't make all the recruit gear go away.. The fact is that Recruit gear is rated 124, That's higher rated than the gear you get from 48-50 quests. You'd have to do dailies in order to get better gear.. But wait, Doing dailies is a waste of your precious time, but on the bright side dailies gear doesn't include expertise, so you can make life harder for your team mates. You are still the selfish one because you refuse to spend some time in order to get gear designed for PvP play and in the process making it harder for your team to win. Q: I don't like to get nerfed in primary stats.. A: Use two different sets of gear, one for PvP play the other for PvE. Q: I don't have the money.. A: Either go do some dailies or got o outlaw's den and loot the chests. Q: I cba with to buy teh gear, I can just play WZ's and get BM gear. A: Your chances of winning are very slim and with BW's system you'll get much less WZ commendations for loosing than winning. So getting full BM in a week won't work. Youa re better off buying recruit gear and maximizing your chances of winning, getting more comms, getting BM gear faster.

That's really no excuse since you can get recruit gear from Outlaw's Den, There is even a PvP quest that sends you there.

Nah, I don't like defense. It's hard as hell to stack and I'd rather get 45/100 attacks' damage get cut in half rather than compeltely avoid 25/100. I've asked my healers and they've said that they have an easier job healing when I buff Shield & Absorb rather than Defense. Have tanked all raids on every diff.

No, don't do it.. I get instant queues. Does not matter how hard it is for some of you to get into WZ's and how cross server WZ's would not affect me in any shape or form it still shouldn't happen. I know that there are servers where there isn't enough people online at the same time to even form a single WZ at all, But it destroys communities in some mysterious way and it still shouldn't happen.

Recruit gear can be obtained for free.. Just go to the Outlaw's den in Tatooine and get it from the boxes that spawn. No need to hurt your team because you are too lazy or too cheap in order to buy some decent gear, They pay this game just as much as you do and deserve to have just as much as fun as you do.

"I sure hope you're not gonna cry.." Hilarious

*facepalm*

Yes, because every server ALWAYS has an even amount of 4-man premades queing at the same time giving team A and B four communicating players that know each other and four randoms.. But the thing is that sometimes there are three 4-man premades queing, sometimes only one.. Making it so that team A gets a premade on their side while team B is left with randoms. Then we have scenarios where a team is missing a few players. I'd like to have a system where if you loose it isn't because you were missing a person or two or because the other team had a premade and you didn't. Would be easy to fix if they made it so that Groups were facing other Groups and Randoms wre facing other randoms and of course they shouldn't forget to make it so that the match can only start when there are 8 people on each team, Making it cross server would also make filling spots after somebody rage quits/DC's much easier.

I would approve of this if it didn't take ages to actually just get to a planet.. They really should've made the worlds much smaller and faster to load, Then I'd be okay with being forced to go to i.e Hoth. They have way to many time sinks in this game. In WoW you can go from level 1-40 without seeing a single loading screen, You just get on your mount and start running. In this game I need a loading screen every 5 levels. In WoW I can jump into a warzone in the middle of the night, in this game I have to wait until peak times just to get a chance at getting into a WZ.

Step 1: Remove the trash mobs and add more bosses.. Step 2: there is no step 2..

It's been fixed, at least says so in patch notes.. Hopefully they didn't screw up. -.-

Then play on the lower difficulty, If you don't put the time and effort in for it you shouldn't be rewarded with good loot.

No way you can have 500 active members.. If you do, then feel lucky.. Because there aren't even 500 players on my server -.-

I don't see the point in stacking defense beyond 20%, You need alot of points of defense to heighten it with 1% while shield and absorb stack much easier. I have my jugg at 40% Shiled Chance with 50% absorb, His defense is at 20%. His HP is 23k. Buffed with everything.

And no, yoda was the one that ran from Sidious. Sidious was in control of the duel at all times and even laughed while doing so, Yoda got thrown away and had to run away from Sidious.

Where do you get these statistics?.. I don't care if a new 50 can go and faceroll EC, But I do care if he can do that and get teh same rewards as people that spend hours and hours just to clear one boss on Nightmare. If you want top tier end game gear, then you are expected to spend the amount of time it takes to clear the bosses for the gear.

Either Mace Vaapad the crap out of Galen or Galen shoves a starship down Mace's throat.. Either scenario wouldn't surprise me
