So I saw Thursday nights suggested as pug ranked night, is that going to happen? If so, is there a hard start time or just get teams together and queue? -Moco

A quick thought (pardon being the wet towel), good teams are more about synergy than the best players. Decent players who work well together will usually beat great players who don't. The best teams out there should be the guild teams (says the guy who always pugs), because they know what to expect from each other. I'm not trying to be contrary, I'm just naturally good at it. -Moco

Larzi, put take the situation from a healer's perspective (with back of the envelope numbers) 40K incoming at 70% total mitigation leaves 12K to be healed 40K incoming at 75% total mitigation leaves 10K to be healed. Take that over a few hits, nobody's dying yet. With 30K HP and 70% mitigation, you're at 18K HP and your healer is left healing 12K HP. With 25K HP and 75% mitigation, you're at 15K HP and your healer has to heal 10K. In both situations you're still safely alive, but with more mitigation, your healer has 2K (17%) less healing to worry about. That's why people like mitigation over endurance, because tanks love their healers. -Chapulin

The reason for stacking mitigation above diminishing returns is because it means less healing for your healers. It's as simple as that. You need enough HP to survive long enough for your healer to be able to heal you and the rest of the group. Any HP you stack above that is HP you really don't need to survive. If you don't need the HP to survive, you can go above diminishing returns and reduce the amount of healing your healer needs to do. The reason dps and healers don't like to stack surge is because they can get better use out of a different stat (I think there are times they end up above those caps, I'm not to that point on my dps so I don't worry too much about the stat itemization). You have an argument for stacking damage stats to help increase damage output/ threat, but having more HP than you need is kind of a waste of stats that could go elsewhere. -Chapulin

I think it's a matter of play style. As was said above, burst is king in PvP. Balance will have high sustained damage, but the goal in wzs is not high numbers., it's objectives and killing high value targets (healers)that win games. Light up the healer and you've just made all other dps' job easier. Attack and cap the node where everyone else isn't. Yeah infiltration is really squishy, that just means you have a shorter time frame to kill your target.

I'll try to be around. I can bring Moco or Chapulin (combat/ infil).

If ranked teams are getting together and looking for a healer, hit me up. My guild doesn't have a strong PvP presence so any ranked I can get in will be piggy backing on with other groups, but playing with skilled players is always more fun than a roflstomp (read: "I like playing with skilled players", not that I'm all that skilled). Moco.

Sounds like fun. I'll try to be there. Post a time and location and I'll see what I can do. Moco.

It sounds like you may be a good fit in The Eternal Guardians (eg.guildlaunch.com). I personally will be gone AFK most of this week, but I would advise tracking down a guild member, tell them Moco/Az/Chappy sent you, and let them know you are looking and see who would be willing to run a bit with you. Most of our regulars are 50 mains, but there are always alts being worked on too. Best of luck. Moco

Valya, you might try asking Ryd in ASB. I believe they can make Guardian Armoring 26.

Thanks Kael, you've been added to the list I'm compiling. Desi, I have contacted Ryd and have them added to the list as well. Keep letting me know what people can make, appreciate it.

Hello BC, The Eternal Guardians is looking trying to track down crafters who would be willing and able to craft level 26+ mods (armor, enh, etc.). We can supply mats and tip. If you're interested, you can respond here or contact me in game. I'm usually on Moco or Chapulin. Regards, Moco.

Greetings All, for the PvP community, some may know me as Azucena and/or Moco, I also have Chapulin mostly for PvE. Cookies are awesome, except for raisin cookies, they just get you excited for a chocolate chip then ruin your day. My favorite though would have to be either double chocolate or my Mom's oatmeal chocolate chip (yes, it is in it's own category). -The true measure of a man is in his baking abilities.
