I consider myself to be a very casual player. I work a 9-5 and typically play nights and weekends. I made Battlemaster about three weeks ago and I find after doing my PVP dailys, I have nothing further to keep me busy. I do not enjoy prescripted content, so I do not wish to experience PVE end game. I am curious what the other Battlematers are doing in-game to keep busy?

PVE I dont know about, but regarding PVP, Rage Juggs are much more straight forward to play that Mara's and they do comprable damage.

Veng is awesome in PVP.

Here is a great tutorial on talents, Stats, Rotations, and ways to be better than the competition. This is not something I recommned you follow exactly as we all have different playstyles, but it is easily the most informative video out there right now about Rage Juggs (from a Jedi Guardian's Perspective,) and I encourage you to watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWcZhA0VORI Pay special attention to the illustration at 3:12. Morsexy is on the left and I am on the right.

Please re-skim read my post. Did I say anything about Smah missing? I clearly stated that Force attacks have 100% to hit. What I am factually stating is that in order to bypass the base 5% defense each opponent has accuracy would necessary. Also nowhere did I recommned using the defualt mods in PVP, gear. Once again I clearly stated that I use them and have no problem playing well in Warzones. Clearly the Deft Mod and Adept Enhancment are better to use, but its not like you will fail if you dont use them. I play just fine with the stock pvp gear mods

Also, most people lol @ Accuracy for PVP, but if you want to maximize your LOLZSmash think about this. Force attacks have a 100% change to hit, therefore you also need 5% accuracy on top of that to bypass an oponents base defense. Honestly though man, I play Rage and just use Champion/BM gear with the mods/Enhancements that come with it and even though I dont crit as high as some people might, I still rock people and easily get 8-10 medals a match.

Yes, Crit is terrible for Rage. If you are looking to maximize damage from LOLSmash, Strength > Power > Surge > Whatever Also, some of the pieces of champion gear are better than their BM counterparts. Avoid anything with crit on it. A good way to select gear is to add Strength + Power. Whichever piece gives you the best combined is most likely the better fit granted you are not sacrificing too much of other stats and or picking up useless ones.

The best part of that video occurs at 3:12 Good video though, thanks for the post!

I cant speak for PVE because well, I dont really enjoy prescripted content or mechanics, but in PVP Rage does great damage.

So are you looking for a build that offers the best damage output or one that does good ok damamge and offers good survivability?

At low gear levels Crit has more value, but once you start getting pvp gear power becomes much better Questions: Do you run Soresu form? If not I always switch into it when fighting Maras. Hell, I run Soresu form all the time, I like it better pugging Warzones. I start cycling my defensive cooldowns around mid fight. I will make an educated guess you have Biochem, so gg I try to time my aoe stun so that it allows me to get range and start our rotation over.

I just LOLZ SMASHHHH collect medals meet friends

In my opinion they are the toughest class for Rage Juggs. If we are talking about two players that are not baddies, both the Mara and Jugg have full cooldowns, and gear level is comprable, you will prolly lose to them more than 50% of the time as a Rage Jugg. The main reason I say this is that the fight will go on long enough for their Dots to take effect. Sometimes you can burst them dead before this happens thus nulifying their dot's to shine. I know what I just said up top is not typically the ideal situation in a Warzone, but I avoid Mara's that are at full health, my time is better suited targeting other classes.

Yup. I use it when I have nothing better avail.

Thats your problem. Here are some solutions: 1.) Level as Immortal - Soresu is your friend 2.) Pick up Biochem/Bioanalysis - The stims, adrenals, and medpacs are fantastic 3.) Use Jaesa. She is the perfect companion as her buffs work great with melee I used Quinne for the last two bosses in our class quest IMO Veng is prolly the worst of the leveling specs. Go Immortal and outlast stuff or go Rage and melt stuff.
