The majority of the 8 man is in DG yeah, although I know at least one of us was mostly campaign. We'll finish up tomorrow, it just ended up being late and people have school/work in a few hours so we called it quits for the night.

Congrats Grishacakes, RD 4 lyf yo <3

If you're having some trouble figuring out the DF scoundrel, here is a link you can try looking up from one of the best scoundrels/operatives on Jedi Covenant. He's usually one of the top parsers in pvp. His name is Nebukanezzar. If you're looking to see where your class compares for pve, I'd say you probably want to stick to healing until 2.0 hits where the dps equivalents of your class have finally gotten some attention, although it still remains to be seen how comparable they are to other classes. As for comparison between gunslinger and scoundrel, both operate on mostly the same rotation for DF, albeit a few tweaks here and there. To break it down a little further for you: If "Dirty Fighting" is true: Ranged(Damage(sustained(high) + burst(medium) * (No heals)/ survivability*(variable dependent on your class knowledge) = Gunslinger Melee(Damage(sustained(high) + burst(medium) * (energy-extensive heal)/ survivability(high if "X" is true where if X is if your stealth is up and your DoTs are not continually ticking on people so you can't go into stealth) = DPS Scoundrel ^^ (This is silly I know, I'm not laughing at you OP, I'm just really bored at work.)

Hello Cosyc, Sorry it took me so long to reply, was a long day for me. If I'm playing sharpshooter, I try to run minimum 35% crit. However, I don't go above it either. If I run DF, I aim for 40%. These days I'm running a hybrid spec for pvp and pve, dependent on the situation, and sit around 38.5% As for the accuracy, just to clarify: Any ability that uses "weapon damage" = White Damage Any ability that uses "internal", "kinetic", or "elemental" = Yellow/Tech Damage Therefore, any ability you have that states does "x" amount "weapon damage" to target can and will be mitigated by most defensive cool downs currently in the game. This is why you want a higher acc rating than the other specs, because the majority of the abilities you use as sharpshooter are listed as "weapon damage", I believe. I do agree with you though that too much accuracy might be more of a hindrance than a help. I honestly couldn't tell you though, because SS has not been my primary spec for a while, sorry. >< This is what I was basically taught when I was a wee little 'slinger, working my way up the illustrious republic ranks. If you already know all of this, then just disregard my blah blahing and I apologize in advance if this post sounds pretentious. If not, then keep the conversation going!! (My server forums are full of jack a s s ery and flame wars, it's nice to have some intelligent discussion for once.)

Oh shush Bones, I'm bored at work and I've never said a bad thing about you or your guild. In fact, I've actually complimented you a few times and healed you on my imp when I was playing imp more regularly. You need to relax and enjoy the flowwwwwww, dude. Or, in this case, Troy I suppose haha.

This kind of reminds me of that Philosoraptor meme, except it's more a parallel world where everyone eats LSD-infused sandwiches and watches Mexican midget p o r n. Edit: Damn you Bioware, down with your OPPRESSOR-SHIP!

Just out of curiosity OP, what's your accuracy sitting at? I've found that you generally need to run a little bit higher when playing SS than DF or Sab. Most of the other posters are correct, power is the way to go for SS. Dat power is what will give your shots the umph you need, although I would disagree with some and say that 30-35% crit is still sort of low, even for SS. Are you using illegal mods off CD with aimed shot? Just a few tricks I've learned playing slinger: (anybody is free to correct me, I'm no expert but I pull my weight in damage in warzones.) - Don't go for targets that will mitigate most of the damage you do unless it's absolutely necessary considering that a majority of your damage as SS is white damage. ie. tanks. You'll want to be shooting at things like sorcs, sages, other squishy slingers/snipers, that guy with no expertise . - Don't go after targets that are almost dead if someone else is already sitting on them unless it's going to benefit your team objectively. ie. the healer. Nothing more frustrating than getting to the last 0.5 secs of an aimed shot only to have your target die and then choose a new one. Situations like that will cost you a tremendous dps loss. DO go after healers more often than not. Your spec is designed to burst them down efficiently even if it's difficult to 1 v 1 a well-played healer. In the case of sages/sorcs, wait for them to blow the force speed before leg-shotting and blowing your full load on them. Drop scoundrels/operatives to the last 30% before getting in close and stunning them to finish them off. Commandos and troopers...well yeah, leave the poor bastards alone. They have enough problems as is. >< - Unless you know sharpshooter like the back of your hand, you're going to have a difficult time fighting against sab/DF. The best thing I'd recommend is hope you get the jump on them as they can do all sorts of crazy sh*t that you can't do, and they can do it while not in cover so diversion doesn't do crap on them. They'll LOS you as soon as you hunker down and they'll LOS you when you try to aimed shot them. Other slingers/snipers also tend to pop dodge and the absorb screen when they see you going for your big shot, make sure you keep an eye out for those cool downs or you'll have wasted dps on that target. - Never hesitate to find a large group of people all nicely clumped up for you, and then flash-banging them and dropping XS freighter on the whole lot of them. This is of course, highly dependent on your ability to judge a situation. If your teammates are capping the door in VS, and you drop a freighter on a group of CC"d players, I'm fairly certain your popularity rating will boost...and not in a good way. Dropping it on one of your healers while 2 or 3 melee are attempting to gang rape them is a good alternative to that. As well, you can protect your healer by standing on top of them and dropping your scrambling field while hunkered down and watch people get fried by XS freighter. - Don't be that guy that runs first into mid and promptly gets used as a welcome mat by the opposing team. Hang back slightly, let your team go forward a little as the buffer, and get yourself into position before you start going kamikaze on people. That pretty much applies to all the warzones. Unless you know exactly where you're going to set up and where you'll be moving to next, don't rush in like a fat kid in a donut shop. On that note, despite SS being more a more stationary spec than the other two, you'll still want to adjust and move your position every minute or so unless the other team is completely ignoring you and continues to ignore you like that kid that accidentally pooped in Jimmy Wheaton's swimming pool during the drunken after-grad party. MENTALITY STATUS REPORT: I AM A NINJA, YOU CANNOT SEE ME. (Use the force, Luke. ) That's really all I can think of right now, from my experiences anyways as a gunslinger. If I think of anymore, I'll post them for you OP. I just can't operate at 9am in the morning without coffee. Hope this helps and good luck!

I don't know why you guys complain about pvp'ers so much. For example, I was on my imp lowbie cashing in on double xp this weekend and got into a Mandalorian Raiders FP. We must have pulled about 5 or 6 packs with the tank asking before every single pull what the strategy was for the mob. The rest of the group was really confused, so nobody answered him until we realised he thought every gold mob was a boss pull, not trash.

I only want to list one person. Best marauder on the server: Jailer That is all.

Kephess*, but I don't think anyone really cares. I argue with JonnyMadDog sometimes about correct vocabulary, but it just ends up hurting my head in the end.

If I could rep + 1 on these boards, I would be mashing my key right now.

Good stuff Republic Gentlemen!! It's nice to see something that isn't pvp-centric posted on the forum for once, although those are always enjoyable as well. As for JonnyMadDog, <Leth Dos 5> congratulates you on your kill too!

Dun Dun Dun!

And all I got out of that was if it comes down to 1v1 and then someone ninja's into the fight then I guess it turns into surprise group sex? Also, sorry for the de-rail, I keep forgetting that BW is stricter in their regulation of steathily inserted off-topic posts into a thread. Good luck with ranked Uncensored!

There's only one other thing that would've made this even more epic, Cates. You should probably have included all the field goals you've done.

Just admit it, you love the pink.

Bind your "cover in place" ability to a key. Use that instead of using the default cover they give you, it'll solve the problem. Always has for me.

Bind your "Take Cover in Place" ability and hit it when you get stuck in the crouch bug. Gets me out of it every time. I had to deal with that bug constantly until I figured that out.
