On our server, Helm of Graush, Republic is getting a lot of huttball since 1.1. I had 4 Repub vs Repub huttball today alone. And several other Repub vs Imp huttball matches. All our Imperials are out farming Ilum it seems. The other thing of note is that Imperial teams are really melee heavy. I've never seen so many Juggs and Marauders in a warzone as I have since 1.1.

So far my scoundrel has: 6 Champion Hats 1 Champion Boots 2 Champion Pants 4 Champion Gloves 5 Champion Implants 1 Champion Relic 1 Champion Chest 1 Champion Off-Hand 2 Champion Wrists 2 Champion Belts no main hand yet! With my centurion comms I have purchased: Pants, Gloves, Offhand and Belt for Corso Chest and Belt for Guss (my healing set if I ever choose to go healing) My next purchase will probably be boots for Guss. I probably have enough comms to do so right now. At least with the hats and gloves, mods can be removed and put in other items. I've modded out Sparkles to be quite fancy, but its base damage will always stay at rating 126. Still, Corso would be proud. Vev is only valor rank 55 - but that's a lot of bags opened to go without a weapon. Maybe tomorrow, right? I propose that the item tokens at least not be class specific. I think Akavi or Bowdaar would have loved a new hat and mittens!

One of the reasons I'm playing a female smuggler is because I can actually play a fun, flirty character. In the beta I played a female trooper (39), Jedi knight (37) and consular (50) as well, and I was frustrated at how few opportunities they get to flirt. There is a huge gender discrepancy in this game when it comes to both romances and flirting and I find it pretty disappointing considering BioWare's track record with inclusive romances in their games.

Taunt, AoE Taunt, your AoE slow all work in PVP. Put guard on a healer and being a tank in PVP can be super fun. At 40+ you will be pretty difficult to kill. But solo queuing as a tank can be pretty brutal.
