I’ve put together a bounty hunter SH using NS as the base with a specific room off the main casino/cantina floor as a Mandalorian specific staging room. You’re more than welcome to come check it out on SF or you can see some pictures of it on Tor Decorating’s website: https://tord.mmo-fashion.com/2021-vissionarys-hideout-pt-1-star-forge/ https://tord.mmo-fashion.com/2021-vissionarys-hideout-pt-2-star-forge/

Someone say stall wall?

Simple solution ... make copies require prefabs to unlock. You shift the market away from buying individual decos which may, or more likely may not, exist in the number of units you need and spreads those otherwise spent credits to the prefab market.

Yah, sorry about that ...

I put a powercell under a Power Conduit (Green) (https://tord.mmo-fashion.com/power-conduit-green/) with a Iokath Hex Light (https://tord.mmo-fashion.com/iokath-hex-light/) on the ceiling hook right above to to cap it in my Nar Shaddaa SH. There's a lot of really neat things you can pull off with a couple powercells that's for sure.

I toyed with a powercell under my spa but it just wasn't enough "party" for me ... so I tossed a dance floor from the casino event under it and now let's just say there's enough party to go around for everyone!

I haven't even bothered to open this stronghold up on my personal stronghold list, it's just too darn big to deal with individually. So rather than spend hundreds of millions on opening up and decorating it for myself, I donated some funds and we opened it up as the guild stronghold and it's amazing! So much easier to just donate 100 copies of whatever instead of having to buy those copies off the GTN. I'll get some pictures later today, but the first PvP area is a pretty sweet battle scene playing out with tanks and a turret.

Y'all will still have to deal with my premade of solid support (i.e. me, my tank and 2 DPS) ... it just got easier to completely avoid us and roll the defense modded sage we got grouped with. I've said before I don't like the changes that limits to roles people enjoy playing, but I can move on that point if it means people think games will become fairer (you'll still have a hard time killing a tank/heal combo without some coordination but I digress). The problem this change brought was not the limiting of roles but rather it was the attempt to include some sort of skill factor into an equation that couldn't handle it. If I lose enough rounds my experience may change, but that still means the high ranked guy that took my spot will encounter the same issues that I have been encountering so far this week and that is the problem, not my reluctance to be able roll 2 healers and 2 DPS in a group queue. /IFedTheTrolls

Just an example of the boulders we've had to carry this first week: 1. Sage with absorb mods 2. Sentinel with only 1 saber 3. Guardian missing 1/2 his gear It don't matter how high my personal ELO rating is, the best PvPers in this game couldn't carry those folks to a civil war win. I hope you're right, and that the teams will eventually even out for me personally but that doesn't fix the problem that the highest end players will always be saddled with the absolute worst of the absolute worst ... and when you've worked to get that good at what you do, playing with bads is just frustrating.

What do I think? I think this match making idea is absolute disaster from my vantage point and personally I've lost a lot of my desire to continue to PvP. I am fine with BW artificially limiting the number of tanks and healers in match (even though I play a combat medic), but what I do have a problem with is how the game is determining the rest of team make ups. My guild and I have a very high win/loss ratio over the last 2 years or so because: a) we're decent PvPers for the most part; and b) we play to objectives versus just farming numbers (say what you will about premades in regs, but I enjoy objective based PvP and I like playing with friends). As a result of the matchmaking changes and our assumed above average regs ratings, when we queue up now we get put with the absolute worst boulders our server can muster to try and average out the mystical "ELO" between the groups and try as I might, I can't carry 4 boulders across the hutball line. What does this mean to me? Well first, it means I lose a lot more often than I am used to and while the Imps on SS may find that enjoyable I sure don't, but more importantly it's getting me more and more frustrated with a game I used to enjoy. I can no longer trust that the left side of my ops frame will be able to pull their weight, and that is frustrating. I can no longer play with my group of friends in any personal meaningful way in PvP, and that is frustrating. But overall I can no longer see myself playing this game long term, and that is truly frustrating. So yeah, if the left side of my ops frame is an absolute dumpster fire I'll probably just leave at this point and let the other side have their ROFLstomp because I just don't need that negatively in my life.

Here's my Coruscant Skyrise Apartment: https://tord.mmo-fashion.com/vissionarys-galactic-stronghold-the-harbinger/ Just finishing up my Kuat rep so I can put a bomber in the hanger and it's 100% complete!

I just finished the first PvP area in Rishi to mimic a ground battle against a fixed turret, and it's looking rather good at this moment (hot springs for artillery craters ftw) ... but the hardest thing I found was that everyone has a different idea of what "good" is and lots of them have gold keys and want to move or change things around and my OCD can't deal!

Do we need to call someone for you? You seem a bit upset about something

Except you know, when they don’t ... so do I stop resisting now or later?

These make me sad ... I am not in a single screenshot!

Hi Mourne! But you know my Combat Medic prefers to stand in front of my DPS and face tank rather than stand behind them and free cast!. Nothing says please parse on me like an auto cannon, 80s style bolted on shoulder pads and a pink mankini!

Then they are bad, and should feel bad for being bad. I can't comment on ranked, that stuff is toxic to my fragile combat medic ego, but anything I can take off while facetanking 5 ppl at mid or trying to keep my tank alive while she is doing that for me is worth a 1.3 sec GCD. Your guide looked specifically at stun types, and that may be more important in ranked than regs, but being able to remove a few DOTs may just mean the difference between dying and getting that shield off CD.

OP Guardian move that needs a nerf, prove me wrong ... in fact, nerf guardians in general! Only 'mandos should have a reflect! On a serious note are their any healers out there that dont keep their cleanse on CD?? Or is it just me while face tanking?

I am on SS, my mando is Vissionary

Don’t you have like 8 Juggs??

Hi Mourne! Need a healbot?

Mobility is key in most PvP encounters. As you play your combat medic longer, you will start to notice that you don't get interrupted a lot because: 1) The other team is bad and just doesn't do it, or 2) you only have 2 abilities that are prone to interrupt (Successive Treatment and med prob) so even if they do manage to get one off it won't phase you. I understand the allure of being immune to interupts but once you see how rarely that happens you find your points are better spent elsewhere (this is all assuming you run warzones like I do and not ranked arenas ... full disclosure I hate that garbage and try to avoid arenas as best I can) My personal lay out is (I am out of town so I cant remember 100% what teir stuff falls in but this is what i take): Cell Capacitor & Parallactic Combat Stims Advance the Line & Charged Barrier Reflexive Shield & Shock Absorbers Forced March & Trauma Stabilizers This is a combination build for mobility and face tanking god mod. It works for me, but may not work for you and that's OK. With regards to using med shot, I would seriously caution against it. Its a beacon for anyone within a 5 mile radius to go kill you or at least harass you enough to make you focus on keeping yourself alive at the expense of some of your DPS. Trust me when I say that you will get stunned and slowed enough that your combat stim talent and just generally running around while trying to keep that pack of ravenous marauders off you will keep you ammo flush while your recharge cell ability is on CD. Like I said, I'll be back next week if you want to chat in game.

Unfortunately it looks like he's playing a combat medic and therefore has the great green beam of death. I personally avoid my med shot like the plague and prefer to draw attention to myself with my bright pink mankini. You don't need to be afraid to burn your energy if you have to to keep someone up, that's why you have your regen abilities and in high pressure situations mine are almost always on CD. I have to disagree on this, being able to keep on the move is paramount unless you have a darn good dedicated tank and cross heal to support you and even then you'll still find yourself wishing you didn't have to break your progressive scan because a dirty jug just jumped on you. I can't tell you how many times I've had to run around mid, pillar humping a group of 3 or more marauders or operatives. I won't be around in game till early next week, but I am always up for discussing more combat medic tips & tricks after all us combat medics have to stick together against those dirty Sorcs and wannabe Op healers! Havoc Squad!

Biggest thing to worry about stats wise is making sure you hit the 1860 alacrity level to drop your GCD to 1.3s ... after that stack your crit rating thru your enhancements/augments and the rest will just come as you gear towards 248. In terms of tricks, it’s dependent on your group make up and what the other team will let you do. Sometimes you need to face tank while others let you free cast. I wouldn’t put to much stock into your HPS ... so long as your friends aren’t dieing you are doing your job and that’s all that matters. What server do you play on, if you don’t mind me asking? If you happen to play on SS (or just want to drop by) then drop me a message in game and I’d be glad to help out a fellow combat medic! Havoc Squad!
