    Elara or Aric for leveling?

    in Combat Styles

    Posted · Edited by Brento

    Currently 20 Commando and just got Elara. Is it faster to level with a healer or with Aric dps'ing? Assuming equal gear for both.

     

    I dont often find myself too low on health so Im guessing Aric, but still not sure.

    How did you throw together and get numbers on that rotation? Because I cannot see how that rotation is viable at all. It's been talked about so many places and it's been a pretty much accepted fact that it's FA > Grav round x3(to 5 stacks with talent) > CoF procs > HIB > Demo round. Charged bolt get's taken off your tool bar once you get grav round, there is absolutely zero reason to use it.

     

    I cannot believe that you have advanced tech over cell charger, i have to assume that's some kind of mistake. It's even more important when you have Curtain of fire. Also, charged barrier is an all or nothing skill, it's not worth it to put 1 point in and have 50% chance when you only grav round MAYBE 5 times per fight.

     

    This guide needs serious work for the commando section. After playing one to level 50 3 times in 4 builds and participating in end game operations, i can tell you right now that you need to do both A) More research and B) Ask people who have more time into the class about it before you make a guide.

    I seriously feel bad for the newbies coming here reading this and looking at the spec you posted thinking that it's the best way to play the dps commando, when it's apparent to anyone who has played one for a long time that you are setting them up for failure.

     

    What an unhelpful and condescending post. At least you could point people in the right direction then? And then you have the gall to say, "Sorry if you took offense."

     

    Maybe its because your post was offensive?

     

    There's a way to give constructive criticism, and showing off your epeen by stating you have 3 level 50 commando's and this guy doesnt know squat is not constructive. How about some links next time?

     

    Anyway to the OP, has the guide been updated to reflect some of these changes?

    If you want to group all the time, obviously tank spec.

     

    If you want to mostly solo, I'd go vigilance.

     

    Thats not to say you cant solo in tank spec, it will just be a bit slower.

     

    Its also not to say you cant tank in dps spec, you'll just be a little squishier.

     

    If you're curious, I'm leveling as vigilance and can comfortably do most heroic 2+ missions with Kira.

    New to tanking - advice?

    in Vanguard / Powertech

    Posted

    I Played three tanks in wow. Warrior, Feral, and DK Tank. I decided to go Vanguard because in past other games I've Always played shield and sword tank, so when DK was released I naturally wanted a DK, two handed tanking was unheard of and I thought it was the coolest game mechanic. But RANGE Tanking is so innovative and the concept makes it seem like Vanguards will be the most powerful unit in tor. maybe not. But ts easy to tank, figuring your rotation for your vanguard will be fun for you so just see what skill works best for you. Anyways have fun!

     

     

    You cant really range tank as you still have to get close enough to Stockstrike every time its up.

    The quality of your power supply is more important than the wattage. To the guy who said 850 watts wasnt enough to power a 560ti, he's smoking crack.

     

    I've got a Corsair AX750 (750watts) and I've run TWO AMD 6850's on it. I've now got a single GTX570 and it runs perfectly.

     

    Your 550 watt Antec is more than enough to power a single card.

     

    And get 8gb of RAM. RAM is so cheap theres no reason not to.
