Are you really supprised that Bioware patched something and it wasn't really fixed at this point?

Looking for some help w/ a Jedi Guardian DPS spec. We have multiple tanks in my guild and we are switching out who is MT weekly. So, I need to learn how to DPS when not tanking. I leveled all the way up from 10 in tank spec so I am looking for a little help!

Now that I have started raiding I use Lord Scourge almost exclusively. I put all my PVP and DPS gear on him and turn off all taunts with the exception of that AOE heal one and let him beat on things in his Columi gear. I only use Doc only when I am soloing Heroics or something hard.

You are getting Hutt ball over and over again because most likely you are Imperial and the Republic on your server has grown tired of being curb stomped by the Devs favorite side and they have quit PVPing.

Well, unless you can fail out of QA school and get a job at Bioware there isn't much that YOU can do to fix the issue.

There is a bug if you are an operation leader you get this message spammed constantly on your screen. So, you can't read anything in your chat log. Look around 6:30 on this video to see what I am talking about.

You do what WOW did in thier open PVP area. You CAP faction populations per match. And you don't do INCREDIBLY STUPID THINGS LIKE give +300 bonus valor per kill with one side having a 3:1 imbalance on servers.

Guess it was our bad guild that caused the following during our first EV run. 1. Zoned in and people randomly died while exiting escape pods 2. Kiled the trash and turrets to have the 1st boss not spawn twice causing us to reset the instance and clear the trash/turrets again until he magically spawned. 3. Cleared to the lava boss and had to reset the instance twice (And reclear all of the trash) because we wiped, were stuck in combat and could not reenter the zone. (Guess that was a feature) 4. Got to SOA, learned the fight and had pillars fall on the boss but not knock him out of shield. (Guess that's another Feature or our terribad play that caused that issue) The raid game in this game is a bugfest and Bioware either does not have a QA Department testing thier raid game or they just shoved it out to the door knowing it was buggy.

Honestly, for me Malestrom is the easiest one out of the HM instances I have done so far. The only boss that gives us problems at times is Mr. Eyebeam. The next easiest one is Taral V followed by Eselless. The entire end game dungeon loot experience has left a sour taste in my mouth. You would figure that the Devs would make the dungeon with the smallest upgrade (Bracers) the easiest instance then ramp up from there as you progress through the set. However, Esseles is a PITA because Ironfist is a DPS / interrupt coordination gate that some groups just can't get past. Oh, and if I see another piece of Smuggler gear drop off the end boss... At the very least if you are going to have people run a 2 hour instance have the common decency to program in a check to see what classes are in the instance!

This is my main problem with this fight as well. Trying to keep agro, help manage the raid, dodge lightning balls and see these stupid pylons. I can't seem to figure out a decent strategy for placing SOA under thiese things without flattening myself in the process thanks to the camera angles. They need to put a shadow (or at the minimum a circle) under the pylon to help the tanks position him.

The time it would take to push 2 characters to 50 on two separate accounts to level your Valor is not very efficient IMO. Why not just level to 50 and then do BGs at that point? Would be a lot quicker I would image than getting 10 valor a kill.

Not at all. Once 1.1 hits Republic will ignore Ilum as Empire will rove the zone in packs picking off the few Republic players who brave the zone. And the Empire will have it locked down 100% of the time.

Ilum is going to turn into more of a ghost town than it is already once these changes take effect. Imperials outnumber Republic on every server. There is no way the Republic players are going to let the Empire face roll them all day in Ilum with superior numbers on the off chance thatthey can get the ocasional kill in. Without player balance restrictions on Ilum as in number restrictions per side it's going to be VERY bad. Stop learning how MMOs work all over again. Look at WOW's open PVP areas and how they had to cap players to balance the zone out. You have zone phasing already so if Ilum 1 fills up start up an Ilum 2 and 3 if necessary. And for the love of God fix the random PVP gear out of bags. At the very least let us trade repeat pieces into a vendor for tokens so that we can get something out of it.

I don't understand why you masochists hate the idea of being dual spec'd. I am a tank, I like tanking instances. That doesn't mean that I don't also like to PVE outside of isntances or even PVP from time to time. Because of the talents that I need to take to be an effective tank my DPS is in the cellar. Would be nice to be able to switch from a Tanking Spec to a DPS spec from time to time without blowing huge amounts of cash doing it. Every other popular MMO has seen the light Bioware and have implemented dual specs. Not really sure why you have to learn the hard way that being pigeon holed into a certain spec sucks for the players.

None of the crap you can make in tradeskills is WORTH BUYING. You can buy all the mods you want off NPCs why buy them from crafters. Orange armor is superior to blue and purple and the only tradeskill worth using is Biochem. What exactly are you going to buy with your meelioooonnss of credits from me?

Slicing wasn't nerfed it was just brought in line with the epic fail that is the crafting system of this game. None of the professions are really worth taking right now to be honest with maybe the exception of Biochem for the stims and med packs.

Same Doc is bugged at 8540 Affection and will not go up.

So, just to reiterate what everyone else is saying this fight is horrid. Not sure how it made it out of testing in it's current state. Here is your puzzle box. I just spawned it on my server as I was growing bored of bashing my head against the wall that is the Emperor fight. Thanks for the T7 companion for this fight! I actually had forgoten why I turned him into a crafting bot 35 levels ago! Puzzle Complete Box Box Clickable Box no open... I don't get an out of range error the channel bar just goes away. Back to the fight I guess... Edit: Where do you change the time on these forums? I have been all through my preferences and can't find the option. Forum says it's 2am right now.

Ok, this may be rather long so appologize in advance. It would appear that there were multiple people working on the Cybertech recipies with no clear vision of the big picture. Either that or there are a lot of recipes that were just never made available to the players. Here is a screenshot of my current learned recipes and the ones on the trainer at level 400. I am currently a 400 Cybertech and did not buy and of these recipes as they are useless to me. I am using all quest rewards in my current tanking gear. http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc367/Xantrik/TrainervsTrained.jpg Screenshot of all the level 49 recipes. As you can see these are all useless to a tank. http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc367/Xantrik/Level49Mods.jpg Screenshot of the Tanking mods I am currently using. These all came either from FP drops, PVP gear or as quest rewards. I decided to go with Cybertech as I thought it would give me more flexability in what I wear and how I stat that gear out. Not being able to make below mods is really putting a dampner on my plans... http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc367/Xantrik/QuestMods1.jpg Up until level 31 I was purchasing the below mods off the commendation vendors. After 31 all of the recipes for Cybertech Mods changed and the Guardian mod was no longer offered on the commendation vendors. http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc367/Xantrik/Level31commendationmods.jpg Here is a screenshot of the level 38 vs 43 tanking earrings. Notice the name changes yet again and the stats drop. I actually prefer the level 38 earring over the 43 one as it gives 21 more DEF. http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc367/Xantrik/38vs43earring.jpg Finally this is a screenshot of the level 43 crafted earring vs the PvP level 40 earring you can buy with PvP tokens. The PvP earring has more DEF and END than the blue crafted one. http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc367/Xantrik/pvpvscrafted-1.jpg Below screenshot is one of the reasons I took up Cybertech as my chosen profession. It was supposed to give me the flexability to help make my character be able to wear any heavy armor that I wanted. How many Jedi Guardians do you see running around in trooper armor? What really happened though is as I bought this armor I realized that I had to strip old armor and PVP Orange armor to outfit trooper armor with the correct mods for tanking. Because I couldn't make any of the tanking mods that NPCs give out for quest rewards and that drop in gear. http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc367/Xantrik/MenionTrooper.jpg In closing something is seriously borked with this profession. I can buy blue Guardian armor plates off the commendation vendor all the way through my leveling career. So, why would I ever buy one from a Cybertech? The recipe name changes throughout the leveling of this profession make it very confusing to the player to understand the DEVs plan if there is one for this profession. Many of us chose this profession as we wanted to be able to customize Orange gear and be able to wear what we wanted. As it stands now I can make blue armor plates that I can buy off a commendation vendor and that's it for my tanking gear. I am still reliant on buying PVP gear and stripping the mods or getting FP drops and stripping Guardian armor to place the mods into my Orange set. Someone needs to take a serious look at this profession and overhaul the recipes or give us the B version schematics so that we can make all of the mods we are supposed to be able to make.

This is what I am talking about. These mods are FAR SUPERIOR to anything I can make as a 400 Cybertech and they are a quest reward. Would be nice to see these recipes in game for Cybertechs. Would rather not have wasted this time finishing the tradeskill so I can make grenades and speeder bikes for myself... http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc367/Xantrik/QuestMods.jpg

I have 400 Cybertech right now and there are no new magic recipes. Quest mods are far superior to anything I can make. Honestly, this profession is broken if you are any type of tank with the hopes of customizing your own orange armor.

Been looking all over for these as well. It's completely borked that quest rewards and commendation vendors sell mods we can't even make.
