The poor OP was just asking a simple question how it turned into what is true SW or not is beyond me.... You will never satisfy everyone, so there is no point trying. Just because someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't make either of you wrong, opinions are like........ everyone has one and some are bigger than others

I agree with OP, he's got my vote But, I also agree the loot is meh... but I do love the place for the challenge, its nice to have something that isnt just a face roll. I do it at least 2-3 times a week just for the fun of it. If you cannot do the FP, dont give up, just re think your tactics and watch some vids of some successful runs. The first time we tried it, it was tough but we got thru it, without even checking vids just adapting to what the situation presented. LI is by far the most fun I have ingame right now, its just a blast gettin everyone to coordinate. There should always be content that is challenge, ez mode FPs get so boring...

We brought in a fresh 50 from our guild, and by fresh I mean he literally just hit 50 a few minutes b4 joining us, we usually skip the boss because we try to do BT as fast as we can, but since he needed gear we did him, and for first time since pre 1.2. He is tougher because you cant interupt him, but we did it with 2 Maras, I was one of them, and the Fresh 50 was a Merc DPS and Ops Healer. No true tank, since everything in there is pretty much face roll, but we got him down pretty fast, just kept changing threat whenever he was dealin out the damage, Force Camo is your friend, you can still blind the boss which helps as well. It just takes some getting use to, but you will get it as with everything the first time you encounter something or something that has changed, buffed, nerfed etc. It just means learning new tactics, I actually like this boss now, he was a joke b4.

Ive done this quite a few times at least 10or 11 times, Im a Mara, and done it with a Jug Tank or Sin Tank and Merc DPS and Ops Healer. It was tough the first time, just learning the fight but we did complete the FP after a few wipes and now its just simply a grind. You just need to keep the fight moving and I like having a plan (clockwise around the room) but you need to adapt if the Droid bugs a lil, sometimes he wont move for a while etc... I really like the instance and would have to say its my favorite thing to do ingame currently

Im interested in this too, I thought I saw a cyan and purple crystal on the GTN that said made by, but after someone said to take a screen shot, they had already been sold or time expired etc... so for now just a friendly bump

^^what he said

The schematics are in game, not sure how you learn them or where to find them but on the Warriors of the Shadow server, a guy has the +41 crit Cyan and the +41 Power Purple Crystals for Sale that say made by him... so they are out there... somewhere

My Rakata Set bonuses have transfered with no problems, and I have crafted quite a bit of crit gear, clearing about 1-1.5 mill creds a day from selling my extras... so I am a very happy camper all around

Ive gotten 58 armorings on HM and NiM EV and KP...

It may take sometime, but at least they are looking to do just that. They said that they realize some people are holding on to gear that they really like the look of, for the day when we can add an augment slot to such armor. So as previous poster said, nothing really to discuss as its already in the works.

moddable means it can be customized, i.e. you change out all the mods.... augmented means it has the extra augment slot...

I love the augmented armor, my Rakata set bonuses have transfered with no problems... but even if it didnt I would be happy with all the extra strength as a Mara I have almost 2100 buffed strength and almost 21k buffed health, its a big difference from pre 1.2 and definately helps in new ops and fp

I just got the extra armornings that I have had from raid drops and put them in my belt and bracers.... and you can use any mods for them doesnt matter where those come from.....

85k-125k and the price seems to be dropping, myself... I would pay a little extra for the Niman's Secondary Lightsaber just cuz I want to match one of my main hand ones...

It is a tough fight but we have it down to a grind now, we use a Inq Tank, Melee Mara (me), BH Ranged and Ops Healer... It was tough at first but not impossible, we drop him first try now everytime.... best advice I can give u is to stay mobile and make sure ur tank moves him when needed and dont paint urself into a corner....

The RNG can be a fickle and brutal bride at times... but I bet since you had all the bad luck in the morning that you will go on a roll and crit 5/10 or something great like that... good luck to you man

I crit two battlemaster headpieces out of 5 tries this morning before I left for work, prolly just a run of bad luck with the fickle RNG

I noticed someone with the Crit Version of this, I was wondering if the Crystal or Schematic drops in the new Ops, and I just havent been lucky enough to see it yet.

Yes sir, you're good to go... and I agree... I like my critted Battlemaster set... but the other set Im gonna use for PVP is the lvl 19 Marauder Armor Set... except for the hands and feet... still gotta use the battlemaster for that since I cant find any orange schematics for those areas besides the BM orange set...

Its just Torhead screwing with people again... the armor rating is taking from the Armoring Mod itself....

Are there Schematics that drop in a HM or NiM Ops?

Ive switched to Synthweaving a couple times to make stuff I want then back to Bio, takes a few hours of sending all my companions out (5) to get any crew skill from 0-400, mind you, I have all the matts and am working off a guide....

^^What he said....

I Crit my Critical Relic on Second try, then took 17 tries to get my Power one..... its just the fickle hand of the RNG...

lol...
