Permanent link would be nice if possible?

Update your gear at say about lvl 41 then go with that to 47. At that point you get to makeb and the bolster will boost your gear to a point where you can just breeze to lvl 55 without buing gear. at lvl 55 do the solo flashpoint prequels to shadow of revan -> get full lvl 55 gear for free. That will get you easily to lvl 60 and at that level finally use your basic comms to buy full ~182(?) gear it will cost a bit over 1000 comms.

I dont't know what changes BW is making for the LFG system in 1.2 but atm it's quite bad Usually when questing around various planets there maybe 1 person besides me looking for somekind of grouping action. One quick solution could be that make it more visible (now sosial menu and then -> who tab i belive) There could be a place in the top left corner where u see how many players in planet, friends and mail are online. Maybe add a number of LFG people there too? And 1 small suggestion, i dont know is it just my screen resolution or what but i usually dont see more than about 8ish letters in those LFG wishes

Any advice on Eternity Vault as general for Operatives? The turrets in the beginning seems to hate melee alltogether.. And the council when we cant get behind of mob seem to take the usefulness of Consealment operatives. Is the best bet to respec to lethality because i'm having hard time to think ill be any use in HM or nightmare with concealment.

Y U no use corrosive dart and Debilitate, perhaps even flashbang?

i hear ya.. Now, after 10 levels later i think im still using the same knife and it starts to feel stupid.

There are actually knifes for sale in dormund kaas. The guy that sells them is in the space port under "speciality goods" didn't do me no good tho as i already had better knife when i found the shop.
