you are asking EA to sell max level toons. that is the exact thing they want to avoid. Pay to Win will kill the game and EA knows that. Letting people pay for an AC change is no different then simply handing them a max level toon for money. Your AC is your class, playing a guardian is in no way the same as a sentinel. Its like asking Blizzard to give you a rogue because you leveled a mage and want something new.

if ranged had 0 drawback for having a melee in their face there would be no point of being "ranged". This nothing more then you want the game made easier because you do not understand what being ranged means.

i really do not do anything special when changing targets. The biggest thing is making sure before you do anything to get RB up on the target for the 3% damage buff, you heat should never be so high you cannot do that. As far as the increased movement speed. Its not something you "see" so to speak. Back with the theorycrafters of wow they determined nothing was better in terms of pping your damage as well as midigating ground based damage then higher movement speed. It might not seem like much but it adds up, from things like getting to Orlok the Shadow after he vanishes and comes back, to titain 6 and following kephass around, or even when moving for Dash'roude if you can run faster then the tank you never have to worry about being off target an even can run ahead of him to stand still with FT while tracking the boss though it and never being out of range. The run speed is a great advantage if you make use of it. Also the damage redcution is more important then most players let on, things like the AoE damage of operator being reduced by 30% makes it that much less of a burden on your healers. Going back to target switching, i just don't see how you are "losing" damage on it there is no setup required to DPS a new target other then putting up RB. For me TSO and VH heat are mostly o crap buttons. with AP you cannot "force" your heat down as far as with pyro so if you are doing AP right you never have heat issues, but once you start to get too hot you stay too hot that is when i use TSO and VH. For me is i am sitting at 40 heat and i need to fo FT i will use TSO and my heat is back to normal, if TSO is not up in that situation i will overheat on purpose after the FT then VH. As VH is a much better cooldown to dumping heat in a hurry. So basically if you get a little hot use TSO but only use it with to make FT free, if you screwed the pooch with your heat then use VH.

its not an insult... but if it describes you, so be it. granted we all know it does seeing how you want free max characters for no reason other then you feel entitled.

you know its 25 bucks for just 1 toon in wow right... EAware is being very reasonable with their prices... Just like in wow it costs 25 bucks to race change in SWTOR its 7 bucks, To change your face in wow its 15 bucks here its 80 cents. Again you QQ without knowing what you are talking about.

its from growing up without a soccer mom that hands everything to you without making you earn anything. id today are handed everything they have no idea what it means to earn something, that is why so many QQ they they do not get everything they want instantly.

i have played the JK story 18 tiems the SW 6 times the bounty hunter 5 times the trooper 4 times and the smuggler twice. Also got to chapter 3 on the consular story but it is really boring... i really don't have a problem with it. However alpha and beta testers had to start ever every time they made a new build... but even still replaying a great story is no big deal for someone who had more of an attention span of a turnip.

actually you only need to max out 1 of each type of companion to get each bonus. so 1 healer 1 ranged DPS 1 melee DPS 1 melee tank 1 ranged tank. Does not matter how many more time you do it you only ever get those bonuses once, however every companion you complete dialog with (as in hear their whole story) you get 10 presence. so if you get a human to level 50 and get 1 of every class to the point where you can gear all of your companions stories you can start a 9th toon with 400 presence.

look at 16m hard mode there slick... and the top powertech is me, and i did not use any exploit. So a non exploiting powertech is better then everything else but the pures which EAware has said has a built in advantage in terms of DPS because they only DPS. Where is your argument again??? Oh yeah its in make believe land.

everyone claims its so easy... yet why is it no-one really does it well???

are you really trying to say having an 800 power proc is not that big of a deal over having 400??? not sure if you are trolling or just stupid.

his mom is going to cut him off.

hybrid does better on dummies then it does in actual raid encounters. The things AP has over it you do not see on a dummy, like the faster run speed for one. There is no fight in game that lets you simply stand still. Everytime you move AP has the advantage over hybrid. On top of that AP is more raid friendly in the fact that it has much better defense against AoE damage. A DPSers job is to do as much damage as possible while taking as little as possible. Every time there is an AoE attack AP takes 30% less damage then pyro or hybrid, that makes the healers have to spend time healing you rather then keeping a tank alive. Also another not of the faster movement speed, every time you have to move out of "fire" AP does it faster causing you to take less damage then any class that lacks a movement increasing ability. There is much more to look at in raids then just dummy DPS. Also playing AP correctly takes a higher quality player then herp a derp pyro or even hybrid.

there was never high ranked PvP.

sorry but competative PvP is a myth in MMOs. the "hardcore" PvPers are simply the QQ brigade that cry they have to roll the new FOTM because the old one is no longer over powered.

while i agree... the strats to these boss fights are so obvious that you only need common sense to figure them out while fighting them.

nothing in game has better animations in an AP powertech. Immolate is by far the best animation in game.

No a bad player gives up and re-rolls when their crutches are taken away (OP specs get fixes) good players adapt and still do good damage. http://www.torparse.com/statistics/Scum+and+Villainy/Titan+6 the top parse not put up by an mara/sent or sniper/gunslinger is a powertech and nearly all the sniper/gunslinger and mara/sent parses are using the relic exploit or orbital strike exploit. Powertech are not easily outclassed by players that do not cheat.

the thing you don't realize, is that your boy Fokaa made his parses that are only SLIGHTLY above mine while using the relic exploit. So for him to get a few more DPS then me he had to cheat. Go look at the logs. I will prove it to you 19:46:15.624 Fokaa gains Power Surge. 19:46:15.625 Fokaa gains Power Surge. like i said. I am the top player. The people who are higher then me had to exploit. Before you try to seem like your guildies are better try posting up logs without exploiting known bugs. Anyone can put up inflated number while exploiting a bug, the sad thing is i beat many of your guildies without cheating. I wonder how much they can really do. The sad things is Torparse only tracks the highest parse you do so they will keep having infalted numbers for a while as i know you won't beat an exploited parse with a legit one. Fokaa just isn't good enough to do that. Hell he himself admited he went to an assault vangaurd because he wasn't good enough to keep playing a sentinel. Like i said lets see what he can do without exploiting because he won't be close to me. Here is another example for you. Titan 6 Fokaa while using the exploit 2411 - Me playing legit 2638. Even exploiting he is 200 DPS behind me on that fight. You still think that assault will match tactics when even exploiting he is 200 DPS behind?

read what he posted. When you transfer a character everything that character has unlocked it will still have unlocked when it is moved. You lose NOTHING that that character currently has. So if you have a legacy 50 charcter with every legacy unlock all companions of every class maxed out, every legacy title, every collection item, i mean everything. You only have to move 1 character to have all of it on another server.

since launch people have wanted paid server trasnfers... so now that they are giving what teh community wants its a cash grab??? also there bubba you know 1800 cartel coins is less then 25 bucks which is the cost of a transfer in wow... Also it cots 7 bucks worth of CC to change races in this game its 25 bucks in wow, it costs 15 bucks in wow just to change what your face looks like in wow and its 80 cents in swtor. stop with the trolling of cash grabs, they are selling things for far less then other games are selling them for while giving away free currancy for them for the subscribers. I played wow for 8 years i do not ever remember them giving me anything for free, EVER.

then i guess its the player... cause i am out DPSing most every merc... there are very very few doing more then powertech and NONE of them are doing any 3+K butgo ahead and keep pulling numbers out your arse and try to make your argument look better. I'm not saying don't buff powertech, i'm saying things are not even slightly as dire as most of the forum QQ would make someone believe. Sure buff me and i will top the guys that were exploiting relics and set bonuses. As it sits its going to take a while to see what the real number people can pull are because so many parses were tainted with exploited bugs. What a class can do though legit play and what they were doing while exploiting are two very different things.

old parses are old... check back after they update. and operation chief varies far too much depending on how the group does the fight.

just one of the caveats of having that hair. it can happen with the female long hair as well.

you realize this game is releasing content faster then wow right?
