Pretty rad stream here. Great music and great gameplay!

http://www.twitch.tv/th3d0nut This guy is pretty cool, streams pvp all day pretty much, plays great music, and is really good at answering any questions. Doesn't talk any crap on the republic either ;P Should check him out if you'd like to see the post nerf Ops in action. Figured I would link this since there aren't many Scoundrel streams out there. Enjoy!

I just recorded all the numbers I saw. So I believe they would come out to: standard, crit without Upper Hand proc, standard with Upper Hand proc, and crit with Upper Hand proc. Only heals I used were my Slow Release Medpack and my Emergency Medpack when I had a UH proc. Here is the spec I used to test: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#701MffMzhRoz.1 Healing Hand is what gives heals another 6% increase while Upper Hand is active.

It seems to be working for us. I cleared my talents and put in my base talents in the sawbones tree without Homegrown Pharmacology. First row is the base talents without HPharm and then the second row is just adding in the two points to HPharm SRMP - 474 501 781 827 ----- EMP - 1113 1136 1215 1262 2104 SRMP - 520 547 857 903 ----- EMP - 1193 1354 1403 1675 2145 The numbers are around the 10% and 6% marks, a lil below. But yeah it's working for us :\

Yeah I have the points in the talent so it would be nice to make sure it's working, which is why I'm going to test it, lol.

Hopefully someone will test it out before I get home. But if not, I'll have an answer for you in 8-9 hours o.o

Go look at the patch notes, of course you're not going to see anything different because the nerf didn't happen today. It's still being tested on the PTR. http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes No need to discuss, just noticed people weren't reading thread replies and seeing that patch wasn't today so figured this would help people realize it.

It didn't, look at the patch notes for today and go watch some twitchtv

Eh, it's really about playstyle and what sort of "feel" you want your character to have. I personally can not stand the way troopers play, but I absolutely love my smuggler. You can make a really good hybrid of sawbones/scrapper if you like to be up in the action. Now I will tell you in the beginning at lower levels I hated my smuggler, I was going to end up switching to sage since they are the cream of the crop for pvp healers atm, but I stuck with it and I'm so glad I did. Stealthing to my target, popping out with shoot first, followed up by a blaster whip, and some sucker punches, all while being able to keep myself up with SRMP/dodge/screen (if I need them)/EMP. It's just fun, so so much fun. I'm able to CC a lot to help teammates cap nodes/plant bombs as well. It's just an overall fun and useful spec. But I suggest play a toon of each class up to at least 10, get a feel of their movement and style and just go with what you feel most comfortable! Here is my spec: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#701MffMzhRRzZMIbodk.1

I love the giggle. It makes me feel so maniacally awesome when I pop out of stealth and use shoot first and giggle at them. And when I'm just punching them in the face constantly while laughing....makes me giddy >:]

Well the patch that nerfs scrapper didn't come out today so all good on that. But even after the patch I'm going to stay my hybrid of sawbones/scrapper. I love the playstyle of it and the utility as a healer for PvP. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#701MffMzhRRzZMIbodk.1

It's blocked for me and I'm in the US...there are ways to get around it if you look a few posts above you.

I've been hybrid sawbones/scrapper for a while now and I'm enjoying it a lot. I never really wanted to go high in the sawbones tree as I just don't feel those skills are useful (I play on a pvp server) so after about 25 points in I started filling out the scrapper tree and instantly felt more useful, lol. It's a same our healing is so under par with the other classes. I've been running http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#701MffMzhRRzZMIModk.1 which is pretty much the same spec at Kut but moved two from stopping power to homegrown pharmacology. We'll see what happens to the dps with that spec from the nerf. I might have to switch to a SB/DF hybrid but I just love the playstyle and feel of scrapper.

Oosh, I wish you didn't get those! The set bonuses don't even seem worth it, but I am a hybrid spec so I don't have kolto cloud.... I'm going to be getting mostly Enforcer. I hope you can obtain some good enhancements to replace the ones with Alacrity. No idea why they put that stat on there for sawbones, I honestly don't think they really played their game :S "Oh hey, they are healers...healers always want haste! I think that's right....right? Guys?... Anyone?" Edit: Hah and Kutsus beat me to it. Been looking up all the gear and was going to suggest doing what he said to do. Going to be a pain of a process (especially for me, I haven't even hit 50 yet, heh...) but yeah yeah...it'll get there! Hopefully they learn from this and put better stats on the next set of gear.

Empire already outnumbers Republic by a great amount on each server. I play both factions and I believe it has put the Empire at an unfair advantage to easily get to Battlemaster from this mess-up of a patch. Plus, now I feel horrible for the people who actually put in the time and effort of getting Battlemaster. I do hope there is a rollback, but only on the people who got the valor in Ilum. And for God's sake Republic, if you're getting farmed, LOG OFF! Don't give them the chance to valor farm you! True story, the 50s in my guild were ************ about being farmed and how unfair it is...but yet...they wouldn't leave until they got their daily done. So congrats to them for complaining about a system but then allowing it to happen and not taking action against it. Goofs. >.<

This is the first time I'm happy I didn't bust my bum and rush to max level. A few guildies and I have been pestered by the level 50s to level faster but we wanted to play together and take our time, and yesterday, it paid off! I had so much fun pvping last night while the level 50s were just constantly complaining and moaning about Ilum and the level 50 games. I feel sad that I am level 47 right now, but I will just PvP until 50. Though once I hit 50, I will probably just fire up those alts and level them to 14, then pvp awayyyyyy. I do hope they fix Ilum soon and do rollbacks for the ones that got a stupid amount of valor from it because that would put us at an even bigger gear disadvantage. But I also hope the republic are smart and STOP going to Ilum and giving them that free valor....I mean really >.< lol
