We were both level 3 and 4 though, because we made brand new characters together. It's onlky when we are in a group he gets no exp from mobs. When hes solo it's fine.

Hello everyone, So I've started playing again and I convinced one of my friends to join me. I am a subscriber he is F2P player all well and good. We both made Sith Warriors and grouped together. However when killing random mobs, he gets absolutely 0 exp from them and I get about 45-50. I changed character and tried again, same thing. Is this just what happens when a subscriber joins with a F2P or is it a fixable bug?

Hey all. I am new to ocmputer gaming and i want to upgrade to a GTX 560Ti. But i think I'm gonna need to upgrade other things too, but not sure what. I know the CPU for sure, preferabbly to an i5-3570k. Here are my current specs GPU: GeForce GTS 450 CPU: Dual core i3 Motherboard: ASUS P7H55 Power Supply: 650W 4GB RAM 64-bit windows 7. So my question is apart from the CPU is anythign else gonna need to be changed? Thanks for reading.

the way we do it is have the tank fight him against the walls at the side and the 2 DPS at the walls at the other side of that doorway. It seems the AoE only hits the closest 3 people to him so we keep thea healer out at range

I find this fight hell of a lot easier with 2 sentinels/maras. If we take say, a sage DPS and a Commando DPS we hit soft enrage. 2 sentinels and he's dead before ive even kited him all the way around the room. The whole flashpoint is easier if you take 2 maras/sents from my experience.

We run the flashpoint everyday to help gear people up, for the weekly and just because it is nice to have somethign that requires proper co-ordination. One of our team got 2 columi upgrades from just daily modded orange gear and the Rakata chest.

Once you get the hang of the FP it is really easy. We beast through it now in about an hour. Get yourself a sentinel/marauder DPS and the fights are easy as pie.

I am no expert,in fact I suck somethign fiece at PvP. But even an idiot like myself can beat most people 1v1 with my Immortal Spec Jugg. I remember once I took on 2 people and killed them both. Maybe the people you have been fighting are better skilled than the players I fight but from my exprience Juggernauts in Immortal spec are good at PvP. As a tank jugg, I expect to die a LOT and I dont expect to kill people, but the way i see it... that is my job. Edited for: Misread OP slightly

i solo the Tatooine world boss on a daily basis. trying to beat his enrage :D

Ahh I see, thanks for clearing that up for me. I also heard that crit and surge give diminishing returns after 30%. But again im not sure what that means, is that like the more you crit, the less chance/damage you have for the next crit?

Is crit that important for raid bosses? I would of thought just having decent sustained DPS was more important? but that is just pure guessing on my part.

I too am an Assault spec commando (though haven't been for long). And I really dont see the point of the nerf. On the offchance we manage to get: HiB > FA > Hib > CB > HiB. as far as I can see this is the highest burst damage we can do. (not including Plasma grenade or Plastique into rotation). This is the only way i can see us matching Gunnery DPS. The incindiery round DoT ticks (on average) for less than a single Demo round. Especially if you have 2 or 3 Gunnery DPS in an ops group. But they get a demo round buff. So the way i see it, they can get 2 Demo rounds off in the time it takes our main DoT to tick over. We get a nerf to CB and a nerf to our powerful-yet-rare combination. Unless I am missing something it doesn't seem like a fair trade off. Especially with Curtain of fire buff too, as gunnery i can get 3.5 - 4k damage from one FA but assault I am lucky if 2/3 of the "ticks" from FA to hit the 1k mark.

Thank you for this well laid out post, this will help quite a lot in respeccing my skill points i think when the patch comes

Thank you I will respec to this before the raid tomorrow. I see what you mean about puting 1 point in the skills giving it an unreliable chance to proc, Especially with Parallactic combat stims Thanks again for the feedback, it's very helpful

Ahh thank you for your feedback. I was a bit worried when I seen the ionic accelerator was getting a nerf. However with FA on cooldown its rare i can continuously get HiB off cooldown using Charged Bolts. So i dont see how it was a necessary nerf. And hopefully like you said the combat logs will tell me how I am doing. Or how any Assault specced troopers are doing.

Hi there, So the other day I decided to try the Assault tree on my lvl 50 commando. It took a while to understand it but I love it much much more than gunnery (which is a bit boring to me now), this is my first MMO and the idea of DoTs is really fun. However, my guild have started raids not to long ago and I sort of want to try going in with my Assault spec, but at the same time I dont want to be a burden on the raid. So if anyone can give me a good high damage rotation to start off with I would be grateful, or even just share your thought on Commando Assault spec for PvE. My current build is this: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#8000zZMckZcIkdzGGrs.1 Thank you for your time

Can't remember if it was a Guild Name or a Character name. but one of the best I've seen is Sith On My Face :D

This ^^^^^ As a trooper commando with full specc gunnery tree, in PvP i just run the hell away from Melee. The day I beat a Juggernaut in a 1v1 fight will be the day hell freezes over . (P.S. And yes I do suck at PvP but I have even seen good PvP Commandos get thrashed by Melee many times. Assault spec commandos/Vanguards seem to do better though) :D

Are you talking about how if 3 commandos stack 15 grav vortexes on a Boss the demo round does a lot more extra damage? I think perhaps around 5% per stack. So 15 stacks is 75% extra damage? Thats not a bug, thats what Demo round does. Unless you're talking about something completely different. Not to mention those grav vortexes will stack up to a total amount of 60% armor reduction? As a trooper Commando i say Leave it alone :D

I just got a schematic for Tionese Implants, if I reverse enginner is it possible to lears the schemaic for columni implant? or just tionese with augment slot?

Having generic loot tokens would be a bad Idea. People would ninja all the time, I've seen people ninja loot for companions when there was a player who needed the Columi tokens. Generic tokens would be bad. I think they best way to solve it is for tokens to drop only for classes that are present in the instance. Some of us cant always get a guild run going for HMs because our members have busy personal lives. So pugging is sometimes the only way to go.

So you don't need full columni to do Normal Ops? I was disallowed joining a group for *normal* EV the other night because I had only 2 columni pieces. And I really want to get my guild to start doing Ops ( we are starting to get the number of lvl 50s up) but i was informed we need to grind HMs till we are full columni. But now after flipping through the forums I think the person I was told this by was teking the P***. Any suggestions for minimum gear required for normal ops would be very helpful. Thank you for your time.

My friend that was awesome. :D What gear did you have? Rakata?

You're all doing it wrong. Play as a Republic Commando and spam grav round until demo round is ready, then continue spamming grav round. :D

This happened to my group 2 Hardmodes in a row. We beat the last boss of Taral V but the adds killed us all, and we could not go back in for the loot. Then it happened on Maelstrom prison, Kilran enraged with 15k health left and killed 3 of us then the 4th member killed him but died at the same time. And once again no loot.
