if he targets you, stand still...everyone else moves to avoid swipe. So what does melee do? stand in a triangle/circle around him. Actually this fight is best if u have zero melee LOL. Everyone just stands at their spots and DPS him down.

It hasn't started yet, but here's my outlook on things. How many attacks should it take to kill at 21000 HP tank? I'm a BM merc, critting a BM tank for 2000 Dmg. So i need 10 tracer missile crits to kill him at very least. I have both BM weps, and RAKATA/BM gear fully modified to min/max. If it's taking me 10+ attacks to kill a defensive tank, how do you think newer or lesser geared 50s will take? I understand that tanks are suppose to tank, but i'm going to say this is a little overkill.

Honestly, i feel as if this game has been slowed down and everyone lives longer. In hutball, that is not a good thing for defenders and today i've played in games where both teams now easily score. Games usually go to 6 -5 or something along those lines. In alderaan, it a win to whoever caps the points first as you are not going to lose the nodes anymore unless you are VERY VERY BAD. As for my character, I'm in half BM half Rakata, and i've been experiencing atleast a 25% dmg loss in my WZs. I think this nerf would be fine if we removed some of the HP that's currently out there. A geared tank with 20K hp, i was critting him for 2K. So do the math. 10 crits to kill a geared tank.... The good thing is everyone lives longer and they are able to play more...and well i've listed teh bad.

go 4 pcs eliminator and remove mods.

Anyone with good math know how good is accuracy? I noticed our entire BM set has it in the enhancement mods. I've never felt the need for accuracy as most of our attacks dont need it. However, I did notice more accuracy reduces defense. I think it's pretty garbage and would prefer surge/crit/power over it, but i don't have the math. Anyone have any clues? I'm considering ripping out the enhancements and throwing in the level 56 to replace the 58s...which is a bit crazy...(but i'm a min/maxer) Thanks.

how to duel a marauder : They force charge. You uppercut and jet knockback...they should be slowed. You'll take some dmg...it's fine. As they land you can hit a tracer if you are fast enough and they dont stealth right away. They will stealth. DROP STEALTH DETECTION FAST. i always win if this is dropped on them. (IF they don't stealth, keep spamming missles until they get close again.) Pop unload. When they get close, pop dmg reduction shield and strafe a bit away along with kolto healing. Now they should be in melee range. Trade hits. Uppercut should be back off CD. Upper cut again and trade powershots/tracer missle. It's fine if it gets interuptted. switch to other one. If they're at 50% this phase or less, easy win...they should be around 70%. When jet blast comes back up, use it...this will put their CC bar at 90%. This time, they have no stealth and are slowed. 1 or 2 more tracer missles/1 unload for snare. (sometimes i instant cast fusion missle here too) At any point in time they use their CC break, u hit stun after. And drop a free cast death from above if you can do it quick. If they do their low hp thing...tracer dart and run You CC break force choke at any time. And give them a missile during their channel animation after breaking it.. You vent heat when needed. You haven't used your instant cast cooldown (save for heal) Chose when to use heatseeking missles and railshot. And remember, u can't beat a marauder by kiting, you have to trade hits with every little distance you get. (2 piece eliminator set is a must!) Hope this helps.

Or should everyone be allowed to cheese their way to being a battlemaster? Youtube the videos if you dont know what i'm talking about. Do something bioware. Atleast with the old Ilum, it wasn't possible to abuse ranks.

and no hot fix either. How hard is it to shut down the zone and do some proper planning for a pvp zone? Working 8hrs a day too much?

zero proof so far, what a disappointing community of whiners. I haven't even put whether i played empire or republic as well. The screen shot linked is eye opening, but i don't really buy it and it doesn't have the time stamp or the context of which how the valor msgs were received. They could've been 20 minutes spread apart and we wouldn't know it. Comon....where's the PROOF of the super OMG broken valor system.

I'm at work unable to play. Rank 59 and 3/4ths Valor. I played hard to earn where i'm at. I've been reading the forums, figuring out what is fake and what is real. Seems like there is a lot of trolling going on. 4 hours ago, turrets gave valor, now it doesn't. So which is it? Seems like a lot of SWTOR doomsays/fanbois. I don't know what's going on, but will find out soon. So has there been any PROOF of level 35 to 60 battlemasters since patch? I want to see proper screen shots. Show me some evidence folks. What i know is that they'res been camping and zerg fest and CRYING. So can anyone post videos or screen shots of INCREDIBLE valor gains? Otherwise, it seems as if most forum posters are cry baby children. Thank you.

What is the meaning behind this? I have the set and i look like a fricken bug. I don't follow sw lore so i don't know, but why do i have to look like a giant roach?
