Way back in the thread people mentioned "how am I supposed to know how much threat I have?" and I thought back to FFXI. Before Kaeko reverse engineered the enmity system (a monstrous feat) people just had a "feel" for how much hate (threat) something was worth. Provoke obviously dished out a chunk and cures gave a fairly steady amount as well, etc. And people played the game this way for a long time. Even after the enmity table was released by Kaeko it only let us know how much hate an action caused. And that's it.

The only thing I've read I didn't agree with is adding the cc susceptibility to the boarding party in raiders. I've solo healed through it as a DPS sage with an under leveled tank. It was hard but not so much that it needed a nerf.

And not being able to see them doesn't mean you can't chat with them. General spans all the phases/channels for that planet.

I've never had to sit around. It takes about 2 minutes to form a group for anything I want to do. And I've done EVERY group quest that's come up and I'm level 32.

It should run it alright. Not sure how well the laptop AMD card runs though. I'm not exactly a tech wizard.
