Thank you all for replying to my thread, your oppinions have proved very useful! Further more I'd like to ask you one more question: is there any recommended Crew Skill that is better for us PvP/PvE wise?

Hey guys I recently came back after a long break and thought of rolling a sorc. Since I am a DPS monkey I was interested to ask about how Lightning spec. performs in PvE endgame and also for leveling and normal Flashpoints and such in comparison to Madness? I am perfectly aware of the fact that Madness provides us with more mobility and that should mean (judging by my logic) that Lightning should hit a tad harder... Also how are we compared to other DPS classes at the moment? Thank you!

Thank you all for answering my questions! As much as I'd love to jump back into playing my Marauder or Merc. I think I'll start leveling a Sorc. because I also really miss the leveling part of the game and also am interested in the story. Thanks again.

Hey folks, I gave up on this game about a year ago. Today I realised I miss it so I figured I'd start playing again. I've played Arsenal Merc. and Marauder before I quit the game had fun with both especialy with the Marauder... I was thinking of starting a Sorc. or another Merc. how are classes in general in PvP in terms of fun and utility in Rated Warzones?

Thank you, well I've started as Lightning so I'll stick to it.

Hi guys, I've resubscribed tonight after a long break. I chose to level up a Sith Sorc. and my question is: what's my bread and butter (what spec.) for endgame Operations? What puts out the most damage? Thanks!

Hey guys, I came back to SWTOR 2 days ago after a break of 3 months and since I played alot of PvP since game launch both Marauder and Mercenary I said to myself: "...maybe I should give PvE a chance in this game since I never quite tried it after level 50"; all I used to do after 50 was sink myself in WarZones for hours and hours of endless (pointless at that time since there were no Rated ones) grind. So getting to the point of my thread, can anyone shed some light about what spec. is hot nowadys for a PvE dps. Sorc. (and post the actual spec. if possible)? Madness / Lightning? Thanks!

My thoughts exactly, good against NPC-ish players... Fun indeed.

What if the target is smart enough to run from you while you Ravage him? :>

More thoughts on this pls. it seems very interesting.

Never needed to use Ravage as Anni. pre-patch (just a personal prefference) since I did more than fine without. Is it that good now? I'm intrigued...

Hey guys currently after the patch I'm running this: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#100bIrRrRMfsZhMZh.1 Any thoughts? Any alternatives? What are you folks running for PvP atm.? Was thinking of dropping 2 points from [seeping Wound] and using them for [Decimate] or why not even [Cloak of Carnage] and using Crippling Slash (as I did until now) for snares but having basically the same effect from Rupture atm. is pretty tempting.

Thank you for answering, now I know what to focuse on.

Quit SWtOR about a month ago, now I'm back and have rerolled a Marauder. I'm planning on focusing on the PvE part of the game now so as soon as I strike 50 I'm going to start farming heroic flashpoints and later on, operations. My question is rather simple, I'm a dps. junkie (have been like this in every MMO), what should I focuse on learning and mastering: Annihilation / Carnage or Rage? Thank you in advance!

BW pls. read this. It's a great idea.
