I've only played OP once after 1.2 went live.. good thing that I got full rakata b4 1.2... so.... guild basically disappeared after 1.2, but hey! I got 5x lv50s now.. and working on my 6th.. after looking at the legacy perk, they might as well rename legacy to "official credit sink".. I'm sitting with lv41 legacy, but legacy lvl means almost nothing to me since all the cool stuff that requires huge amount of credits... and when you're lvling alts, you spend less time doing dailies for credits..

gotta say.. disappointed..

Legacy shared speeder... I'd rather not pay for the 1.5mil speeder for every class I have, and since all toons in my legacy tree are more or less family, it's only natural that they share speeders as well... come on, you can't drive your sibling's car? 4real?

which part of the shield rating on the helm don't you understand? no class, i mean, no class (that includes companions) in this game uses medium armor with cunning that also uses shields... this is just one of the many stupid things BW overlooked and put in game.. just yesterday when I was lvling my lv42 warrior on belsavis, during one of these quests (the one that sends you to kill Kal Bedo or whatever his name was), there's one lv50 strong(silver) mob inside the mission instance that's blocking my way... I don't remember it being there when I did the same quest 3 times b4... so.. another screwed-up by BW.. really....

lol.. really? what does afk even mean? away from keyboard? So if I am chatting, am I away from my keyboard? You Sir, have a weird logic regarding being afk...

^ yea broke, and they better now roll-back.. i just got some purple drop from some random mob! lol

What testing feedback? Can you provide with some proof? Any sane player wouldn't think that the stats on current rakata gears for tanks (juggernaut and assassins at least) are ok. Therefore I think you are lying! This is some cover up for either stupidity or incompetence..

^ This! How can you just change your mind like that? I'm very very angry about this... is it intended for us to swap in 56 enhancements instead of 58 ones? You know the stats are horrible (tanks especially), everyone knows it, and you promised to change it, now, just 2 days b4 the patch goes live, you decided not to change afterall? Seriously... this is beyond disappointing!

+1 great post, don't know if anyone has mentioned this b4. As I've played a healer, a dps, and a tank, I'd like to add that dps should always kill weak mobs first, all classes have the abilities to stun the weak mobs for secs (often an aoe skill with low cd) often times it's not worth the effort for tanks to grab them since they die so fast, but if no one touches them, they'd rip the healer apart. So, I'd say, for dps players, your priority is weak > strong > elite. Plz follow this and your tank/healer will love you, especially healer! Oh another thing, smart dps will use his/her knockback abilities to knock the mobs closer to each other for tank, not the other way around. my 2 cent

i second this.. they upped the rate you get tionese commendations, but forgot about the crystals.. which.. in my eyes, was pretty incompetent..

I have biochem and cybertech as well as synthweaving.. And yes, I'd say synthweaving is somehow bugged... like the OP said, he couldn't get a purple recipe, like me, I was trying to get redoubt bracers' purple version, but I've REed 40-50 bracers now and not a single purple recipe.. not one! Never had that with earpiece or implants. Granted, you might not get the one you want, but none at all? Very unlikely... I sincerely think someone in BW messed up with this..

I'm kinda confused and need some of you guys' opinions on my tanking stats.. I've had very opposing opinions about my current stats.. as of now, my stats are: hp: close to 20k with stim def: 27.7% shield: 58ish % with dark ward (2 piece bonus from pve set) absorb 48ish % I've been told that the absorb should be 30ish % and mine is way too high.. If that is the case, should I swap all my absorb augments to what? def? If I get 30ish % absorb, won't my hp be more spiky?

At first glance, this looks ok.. But after some thought put into it, it starts to look something other than ok, in fact, it's kinda short-sighted. Like many ppl on this thread have suggested, change the stats on the mods/enhancements, from what I can tell by your response, you're ADDING　new mods/enhancements into game instead of changing the stats on current mods, why would you do that? Coding failure? Or think tank failure? Please, just change the stats on mods... Oh and, is the columi set gonna be changed as well? Because as a tank, I seriously don't need so much accuracy... and yes, I had to swap out many of the accuracy-heavy mods/enhancements...

have your companion attack him then LoS pull him out of the room. yes, it is a bug, but no, it's not that bad.

easily solved.. all you need to do is, clear the mobs right outside the room, then pull jadus outside, no more "cannot see the target" bug. you might say, how do you even aggro him, well.. just send in your pet, and then put him/her on passive and move yourself and your pet outside of the room. some ppl do it inside the room, using the various LoS objects inside the room to pull jadus out of his starting spot, and both tactics work. give it a try! edit: on your side note... well... I really enjoy these boss fights, they push you to be a better player really... sometimes when you hit a bottleneck, you need to rethink what you've been doing for the past few lvls might need some improvement/adjustments. One of my rl friends who has been stuck and asking for me help for his own class quest quite a few times, turned out, he didn't use everything he's got. Don't know how to control pets manually, didn't even know that you could expand your pet's action bar. Being stubborn to stick to only one pet.. etc I always use the latest pet or at least try them out for a good few hrs to see if they provide a better/more efficient play style. I know many of you have used kaliyo or lokin all the way through.. I used temple all the way to lv50 once I got her (lokin is good to use, but I simply find temple to be better) as a result, I learned to use my cds more efficiently which led to a much more pleasant experience when I started pvping at lv50. So, no, I don't think those tough fights are bad, I actually want more of them in my class quests!

err.. how come I feel completely different than what you said? snipers soloing champions? really? I wasn't able to solo champions while I was lvling whereas my healing merc could solo everyone of them. When fighting champions, damage isn't the key that wins the fight, endurance is. Heck, my healing merc could solo all the belsavis Heroic2/4 dailies.. However, I have had more fun as a pure dps class than a healing class. And once you hit 50 and gear up, it really doesn't matter that much anymore whether or not you can solo champions. Let me list a few things for you to consider then: PVE--- sniper, great fun at range, decent dmg but only able to cc droids (8sec stun that breaks on dmg with 1min cd isn't cc IMO) a lot of fun in grp too, feels great in operations. operative, a lot of stabbing fun, can stealth, can cc (sometimes can even cc 2x mobs at the same time). Can battle rez at lv50, can heal. PVP-- sniper, still quite a bit fun to play, can shoot ppl from afar, but kinda useless against heavy armor classes, easy prey for a few classes (mainly operatives and their counterpart). operative, when played right, can do massive dmg, usually you'd target squishies to kill, i.e. snipers.. usually if you get to surprise your opponent, you win 70-80% of the time one on one. I got killed by operatives so many times, it actually made me upset a few times and I don't get upset with games easily.. so... I'd say both ACs are fun to play, just need to find the play style that suits you best!

just... learn to play already... I usually ignore a jugg/guardian in pvp since my dmg is gimped if I attack them.. in huttball, there are so many places you can just LoS the sniper and make him feel that he just wasted a defensive cd. stop thinking only about you yourself..

yea, i'd recommend sniper too. not every class is meant for running the ball. whenever i got the ball, either i pass it along, or reset it, I've only scored for once, and that happened cuz I was at the scoring zone and someone threw it to me. my 1st toon was a healing merc, yes a healing merc can do a lot of things a sniper can't. with decent gear, my merc was able to solo all the belsavis daily heroics whereas with sniper, you can't. even so, I still had more fun as a sniper. yes, sniper requires some work and love, but atm, it's still fun to play!

no, you're wrong, I just ran normal ev with my guild, I got 2x tokens which I already have... which could have gone to another IA in the grp which doesn't have those... so the system doesn't check if you have or not, it just assigns randomly... I don't know why you guys need to bring up PUG and make it seem ok... what about casual guilds? we run normal EV too, so what? we should be punished by this stupid system cuz we are not geared enough for HM? the system sux, period. bring back masterloot and a /roll system!

I was thinking the opposite.. that our cover screen somewhat "stealths" us, and we break stealth once we're in combat, thus making stealth not really OP, would only gives us some extra edge at the start. my 2 cents

piece of advice, rebind your keys like I did, I bind "cover in place" as F, and "enter cover" as shift+F.. lots of these cover-able spots ingame are kinda buggy, and more often than not, cause you trouble by aggroing unwanted mobs.. yes, entrench doesn't work well in pve, I only use it in pve for the dmg reduction it claims to offer. You sound like someone who's sticking to one play style. IMO, Lokin isn't as effective as our other companions, I've been using temple ever since I got her, put lokin's gears on her, then you can kill stuff really fast.

OP, go and play a sniper and then tell us how you enjoy fighting juggs...

simply.. learn to play... not only learn the abilities of your class, but also those of the others'.

smoked him with temple, I've never found any difficulty with sniper while solo questing, like.. ever, even with the fight with jadus (i did die once due to the bug, but I changed my tactics right away and pulled him to the other room, then it was easy) used temple ever since i got her, lvling with her makes you managing your cds more effectively, we got so many defensive cds, train yourself to use them!

yea... totally agree.. We should be able to camo or stealth while being stationary behind cover and out of combat... I mean.. aren't snipers stealthy irl?
