LoL... I saw him there yesterday with my new alt but avoided him. I neved saw the datacron. Z

Same here... bad connection? Playing on an IStone? Z

I remember playing UO when the foremost "stat" was.... ::gasp::... SKILL. It still helps, but gear seems more important in modern games. I still love the UO model (most hate it though) because gear was important, but you could take it away from someone after beating them... so people left their best stuff in the bank. Unfortunately this doesn't work in the fast paced warzone atmosphere. I'd like to see the difference between T1 and T3 gear be only around 10%... the carrot would still be there (for the 10% boost) but it wouldn't overwhelm lower tier players "just" because of what the opponent wore. Z

Don't feel too stupid... I don't think I noticed that tab until around level 32. Z

I HATE him. When I learned he was coming on my ship I was shocked. I don't even like sending him on crew missions. The way they wrote him in stunk... a bad part of a great story. I wish I could have killed him, it'd be he only dark side points I own. Z

As long as you don't want to heal, roll Powertech and go straight up the Pyro tree... you won't be tanking a thing, it's a pure DPS tree... and be one of the top damage dealers in the game. Z

If I remember correctly, I had a quest where he sent or gave me a shot of something so I didn't have to deal with it. It was from the 1st questgiver I saw there I think. However I've also seen med NPC's selling it. Z

You do have to outplay them, but keep in mind you're melee as well to a degree... We have a couple stuns, just have to outdance them while attacking. Z

There score "line" is around 2 meters high or something like that. If you pull them from too close they score, if you get them from further back so they're higher the whole way, it kills them without the score. Z

100 views and none of the pro number crunchers/testers know? Let me ask it simpler. Do you get NO help in PvP from raising Absorption, Shield and Defense, or just not much as the improvement in DPS from going with the DPS gear? Z

The answer is because we're tanks. Tanks would look damn silly pointing a rifle at someone 2 feet in front of them. Want a rifle you should go sniper... ...AND , we already have a weapon in our other hand, it's just strapped to our wrist. Z

AIM first... unless you can get expertise... but then either crit/surge if you want more burst damage, or power if you want more sustained damage. Z

For starters, you do NOT have "Advanced Pyro", you don't have a Pyro build at alll, you have "Advanced Prototype"... which is sub-par in DPS to Pyro. Maybe they tossed you because you don't know your own class? Sorry I offered help. Z

Probably that you have an AP build rather than Pyro... people are shallow and make decisions based on theory sometimes... but some groups will automatically look for a pyro if they have a Powertech. (pyro IS a lot better in pure DPS though) I hope they end up needing an off tank and fail because of it... when you could have handled it. Z

I've read all of the posts and studies on absorbtion, shield, and defense not being very helpful in PvP. I have trouble grasping the math behind it all however. Do these three stats give you NO protection in PvP, or do you get "some", just not as much protection as a % as you'd GAIN by putting the same effort into crit/surge? I want to main tank for my guild, but I pvp a LOT more and don't want to suck at it. Right now I'm gettng torn up, but it's likely because I just turned 50 and dont have my equipment yet. I'm running the parakeet build. I have NO problem guarding, cc'ing, and carrying the ball... and have no need to top DPS charts... there's plenty of dps already in wz's. I ask, because I'm trying to choose armor and am not sure what to go with. I know if I go with the pvp tank armor I CAN run hardmodes and tank... but will it gimp me in warzones? I guess the simple question is do I get "SOME" defensive help if I still go with tank gear in WZ's? Z

Angry Mercs... speak for yourself. Powertechs are lovin' it. Z

What about the opposite? Has anyone went ST spec (up to and not including the 10% shield/5 pts) but used DPS GEAR and been able to MT HM's? In concept it's similar, but I like the utility and would sacrifice some of the damage. Z

That's more what I'm curious about, can we go tank spec (well Car Parakeet) and still main tank with DPS gear? (Elim) Z

Any chance you can link or explain your build?? I want to be able to tank Hardmodes, but I pvp MUCH more... so want to do some damage as well. I guess I'm torn between DPS gear and tank build or DPS buld with tank gear... I just hit 50, so it's time to make a decision. Z

As a Powertech, what skills have you removed from your bars and don't use anymore... ...for PvP? ...for PvE? Z

Exterminator gear? I don't see that anywhere. Z

Couldn't be anything lamer. What happened to the old days where if you died someone else could TAKE and sell all your gear? This is a generation of pansies playing now. Z

You shouldn't get a refund, you played, you paid. Z

OP "trying" to be funny is more of a joke than his joke. Z

A "rollback" doesn't mean everyone goes back to lev 1 valor, it would mean we all go back to the valor level we were before yesterday's patch... we'd lose whatever we gained yesterday. Sounds fair to me. Z
