you sound as if all sniper/GS skills had 40m range. Only 2 skills have that range if you have PvP armor set bonus out of which 1 is just disrupt.

heh yeah, same team that destroyed Warhammer Online PvP.

I just camp PvP vendor and spend all my WZ comms for Ranked ones. My fav activity is either using stupid emotes or buffing noobs. Not much to od after I did dailies in BH (the only ones I do as they take 15 mins to do).

you can drop Exotech schematics even in story mode OPs. I got one yesterday from some trash mob in KP. I dunno if I will make money out of this TBH. Mats are quite hard/expensive to get and on my server and GTN is quite filled with them. Highest price I saw for Exotech Skill stim was like 5k per piece.

I have orange belt and bracers rotting in my bank for ages (since 1.2) just because I cannot find good armoring for them. Best I could do is to buy/drop lvl 25 armoring and grind extra BM -> WH piece and rip the mod to maintain some expertise or buy lvl 26 mod. Point is, lvl 25 armoring is worse than WH one (armor rating only). I supose that for PvE purposes this would be great but for PvP I am not sure TBH.

it totally depends on what you enjoy most. I like SS tree (MM) and can on occasions pump up to 550k damage in WZ with average 250k. Tho I saw DF or Sab specced ppl getting the same results.

this just proves you have no idea how solo playing can be enjoyable. you like to be carried by a group. Not that I won't appreciate good premade play but both solo and premade are great experience.

ok my mistake. the quote is taken from some interview. There is a thread somewhere here where ppl ask why such things were first posted on some gaming site not on our forums. Quote is geniuine if that's your concern.

oh I had such problems but then my tank and offtank decided to do something (dunno what) and the problem stopped. Can't ask them now since they left the game as 99% of my guild did

check latest Q&A thread

heh yeah, seems like Resolve is always working against me. I am (chain) stunned while my resolve bar is 80% filled but my stupid KB won't work if they have 30% filled. Stupid mechanic is stupid.

TBH I am quite astonished that they want Rateds to be only 8 vs 8 matches. OK, the idea is great but honestly... how many guilds have 8 active lvl 50s at any given time? On top of that they should form a balanced and similarly geared team. Personally, I was looking forward to Solo Rated not 8 vs 8. IMO forming random 8 man team is just little better than joining PUG team. Randoms going to get trashed anyway and those lucky enough to have 8 ppl on vent will win regardless.

I feel ya mate. It seems I am getting BoP schematics on the wrong chars all the time (if they actually drop that is).

would love to but no idea where to sign up ^^ Besides I was Core Tester for BW for 2 years in Warhammer and one thing I learnt from it is that if they put something for public testing it will most likely won't change in live product unless it is total trash.

here is one of my random combat logs. http://www.torparse.com/a/42790/4 Look at the Threat tab and pay attention to TPS and total threat chart. It may help your tank realise how GS builds aggro and when to act with Taunts.

I have full augmented gear just coz I have armormech/armstech alts. True I wont have rakata stuff but I don't care as I do not PvE and if I wanted I could farm bit of BH comms and buy campaign stuff. Besides in 1.3 I will be able to add augment slots to anything I currently have, right?

pleas read this thread http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=4407855#edit4407855 some dev clearly says that we will be able to add augment slots to anything and their dogs in 1.3

This! When people do realise that without expertise you are nothing in WZ. Sorry but it is the hard truth. As an example I can tell you me and 2 of my guildies trashed Imp OPs group while they were trying to take down some World Boss. OFC boss helped a lil but I loled so hard when they were hitting me for like 500-1000 dmg while I steadily killed them one by one. Same happens in WZs. PvE and tweaked, augmented PvP gear are not that far away statwise. I may only have 18-20k HP in my PvP gear and like 200 less cunning but I promise you my 1200+ expertise will own you always.

it is more the problem of your tank. You are high dps burst class so you are bound to produce a lot of threat. My tip: run some combat parser (torhead.com has very nice one) and there you can see the graph showing how much and when you produce your threat. You will see that first 2-3 CDs are the peak, it is where you biggest burst appears, later on it is quite steady with occasional Quickdraw/Trickshot peaks. Your tank has to realise this and act accordingly and not spam aggro skills mindlessly. OFC you can help your tank by using some CC (if possible) or Surrender but in the long run it is tank job to hold bosses out of you. Anyway, whole team should be working toghether. Main tank, off tank, dps, healer.

in fact I noticed the decrease of ppl in Fleet but still we have like 150-220 ppl in the evenings. Few days ago I noticed we had 2 Fleet instances even. Transfers or not people will still leave in droves as the game becomes boring over time.

well yes and no. All depends if you know who is shooting at you so you can either LoS him or use diversion/CC/Dodge. Once GS/Sniper reaches BM level of the gear he is not so easy to kill unless, like mentioned above, 2+ ppl are beating him but it is the case with almost any other class, right?

it is a busy server and at any time of the day (except very early morning) you wont have to wait in queue for more than 5 mins. But TBH I don't think it is possible to lvl up in WZs only. XP from WZ was cut few patches ago. Best way is to do your storyline + some space mission dailies. It might allow you to ding 50 in a week or so.

picking Armormech on your Agent will only contribute you through levelling till 50, later it is not worth at all. If you are doing "normal" levelling you should be able to make enough cash and get loads of mods/oranges via questing/planet comms to gear up perfectly well. You don't need purple mods for levelling as you will outlevel those fairly quickly.

meaning it could be anything. Some leaks lead to tweaking alacrity talents which may or may not help GS. Higher alacrity means we will burn our energy faster so it is not so good unless they change the way alacrity works. Usability may also mean many things. Remember, it's BW after all

heh but GS KB on Aimed Shot (talented) fills resolve bar in 90% and it doesn't even have root and is only moderate in range.
