As many already mentioned, I think Open Space was one of the most anticipated features of this game. At least that what I was hoping for when I heard each player gets his own ship. I was quite disappointed when I saw for the first time that space travel is all about clicking on a planet name and that's it. Open Space could give this game such a boost that no game has ever seen before. Allowing players to travel freely in space, fly to different planets and enter their atmosphere and land there, fight other players in space etc... This is like a dream. Hopefully BioWare will make it come true one day

yea u r right about that but it wont work for Shock.i dont know, it doesnt make sense to put one point in surging charge for not using it at all... what do u say about dark ward? I would modify your build to this 27/11/3 so u still have Dark Ward to be a tank in PVEs

it was kindda hard to follow u cuz u used the jedi shadow namings but thx for the tips as far as i understood, dark ward is useless in PVP as shield generators are useless, so why should i spent talent points on shield absorption and dark ward? also u said u use dark charge (tank stance) but u put one skill point in surging charge and induction which are not usable at all!

I', aware of the Darkness/Madness hybrid spec but as I said before, I like melee. I really don't see myself target an area with my mouse to use Death Field for instance, passing the ball in huttball is annoying enough LOL.

basically its something like that: while on stealth: recklessness + overcharged saber + relic discharge thrash x2 shock if i get exploit weakness i use spike/electrocute and then maul then continue with thrash x2 and shock until i have discharge again pull/slow if target running away or on range targets jolt to interrupt castings two days ago I had the same build like what u have now. I did crit high but the same time I died in a flash when facing two enemies at once all by my self (ofcourse unwillingly) while i would normally win in 1on1 situation. high crits and massive damage is nice until ur opponent heals or get healed, or gets help, then u r toast cuz ur defence is almost nothing in Deception. so u either use cloak or force speed to escape right? but what if those r on CD? u got my point? what good is the damage if u die so fast? personally. i dont see any fame in dying so many times just in order to be able to cause more damage

Hey guys I made some improvements to my build from yesterday, this time using Surging Charge while having the survivability and utility of Darkness' Force Pull, Spike, Force Speed removing immobilizing effects, etc. Here is the new build: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200rfMs0MskZGhrRo0M.1 I played it yesterday, and obviously I do less damage than full Deception spec but I definitely lasted longer and could also Pull enemies that where running away when they were about to die. Also I didn't run out of Force so fast as in Deception due to the 30% force regen + force regen coming from deflecting or dodging attacks - so I had less button to think about as it comes to Blackout in Deception for 6 seconds force regen. This build takes into consideration the fact that I personally enjoy melee more than range attacks. The gear that I'm using is the Stalker gear. Your opinions are much appreciated.

I see. The only reason I thought I should switch to Dark Charge is cuz of its defensive effect for survivability... Do you think this build would still grant me survivability on Surging charge or should I just switch between them depending on my situation? Any thoughts of Insulation 30%?

you are right, I didnt notice this detail about Induction! thanks for pointing it out. No need to get angry though hehehhehe

Indeed I lose VS and low slash, but I thought about it and I will use Thrash instead of VS and Spike instead of low slash will more or less will result in the same effect. Therefore I should still be able to knock down my target and back stab with Maul once I have exploit weakness... Regarding discharge, this is unclear to me at that moment as I don't know how it would be with Dark Charge. With Shock, I know I have Energize which should cover for the additional damage coming from VS. correct me if I'm wrong

Hey all, I hit lvl50 one week ago where and until now I'm full deception specced with 65% purple pvp gear dps. I'm not happy with my survivability so I thought about respeccing and having a hybrid of darkness and deception since I love melee so much. can u check my build and let me know your thoughts? has anybody tested this build before? cheers

thanks for your answer. I forgot to mention that I'm gonna overclock it to 3.0ghz. How well do u think it would perform, say in smaller resolutions? most important thing is that I would get 40+ FPS. do u think it's gonna be possible?

Hi, I have a Core2Duo E4600 2.4Ghz CPU and I wanna get 2nd hand mobo+ram and buy a new GTX560ti. The question is: How well do u think this kindda rig can perform in the game? I wanna play it on 1080p and get at least 40FPS. Thanks for helping!

Hi, I'm considering buying a laptop with a GTX560M graphics adapter. It would be great if people who own it could tell me about their gaming experience: FPS in different parts of the game, settings they are using (including resolution) etc. Thanks a lot helping!

thank u everybody for your tips and opinions. but most of u mentioned PvP while I'm still leveling and don't PvP at all atm

Interesting opinions. Right now my gear is almost completely customizable. I have orange armor almost on every armor slot with focus on Willpower and Crit and I've been somehow unsatisfied with the damage I'm doing and since I have a lot of commendations to spend, I thought maybe I can try changing to Power.
