Bump so the poor #*****#@# can keep fighting in Ilum!!!

Completely honest, I did try it, but I could not get used to it. I would consistently do 100k damage, 100k healing, but I could not wrap my head around healing and damaging at the same time. I might do better with it now day, but before, I would either stay back and heal, or get into the thick of things and melee. I do remember, I never ran out of energy and always had TAs. The spec was nice for that, I just was too overloaded to do a lot more with it. I could not adjust properly to my key bindings, I was too used to the other ways. Sorry I could not answer that any better.

I leveled Letahlity and I am not level 50. I switch between my specs based upon my mood that day. If someone calls me out, i will switch to conceal just to grieve them. Other than that, I think lethality is a lot better; a lot more damage. The only problem is, people misunderstand how this toon should be played. First thing you should know, LETHALITY IS a melee class. YOu will be in melee range and you will be using ALL your tools. I open with HS and BS. I then use my lethality tools CG and CD. Apply a dose of weakening blast and the target is set up. meanwhile I am still in melee range. Next, Shiv and then you pop off your damage. Cull followed by Cull, it is a work of art. Meanwhile, I am still I am still in melee range. We use a gun, but we are a melee class. About 10k dmg should tic-off during the back to back cull... Next thing you want is patients. Know your battles before you enter. Know when a battle is won or lost. Its not about the gear of the player or the class. Its about the situation. We are not front loaded damge as others have said. We build up our attack. We lull the enemy to sleep before pounding them. Please, if you switch, take the time to get to know what youa re doing before you say it sucks. This is not a kiting class. This is not a range class. We have tools that can do damage from range, but we are not a range class. Learn it, love it, play it. I will make some videos this weekend, if I get bored.

I love reading about all these people who open X amount of bags and nothing is inside... 40 bags x 3 Cent tokens is about 120 cent tokens. You can get a few pices of decent PVP gear with it. Not champion, but decent... With that said I am at valor level 57 and my guildie at valor level 26 has three more pieces of Champ gear than me. And honestly, I love it. Random is random. I remember running Strathholme in WOW hundreds of times for my damn Pally Pants... Only dropped once, and I did not win those SOBs. I enjoy the fact it is not just about the time, but a random generated number. PVP is PVP and I enjoy it. Gear does not matter. A good player will find a way to win, unless your fighting a Trooper or BH. Enjoy the game for what it is... A GAME. Have Fun

How do I kill a healer as lethality? Its actually fairly easy... You set them up. HS, BS, Shiv, CG, CD, WB, Cull, Cull, Shiv, Cull... For me, I see Cull hitting for 5k (the three attacks combined) and that is on geared players. We are not damage right out the gun, we set-up our opponents... Now, if the healer removes their poisons, we are pretty much screwed. I am hoping to see some adjustments in the way the poisons can be removed later.

Hi, I am Ntrigue, and I am a Lethality Specced Operative. I know, I know, I could respec to conceal and kill people before they get up. Then if they complain, i can just camp them at their starting location. But, I find that play style not for me. I have been Lethality since lvl 28 and I am addicted to it. I am now level 50 and Valor level 54. Most WZs I enter, I normally die once and average about 30 kills. I have yet to top 300k damage, but I do manage to average about 225k. About my play style... I find healers or stranglers and destroy them. Level or gear does not matter, I destroy them. I rarely find a fight I cannot win, and lately even 2 on 1 has not been an issue... I have a channel on youtube where I post my videos. Currently. I have no level 50 videos ont here, but I will after this weekend. The ones I have on there show how viable lethality is in PVP. Look up mrntrigue.

Did everyone not notice all the stims and buffs he had? You mention this SPEC needs a nerf, but a normal hidden strike hits for 4k. 4k, then 1k for acid blade, then they have 2 gcds with lesser strikes coming. Really, they are not that hard to counter. And to all the nay sayers out there. How would you nerf this class and keep them competitive? I promise anything you do to keep this class competitive while nerfing hidden strike will make LETHALITY that much stronger and everyone will migrate over there. And to the person saying that was not 10k on the marauder, you are right... That was close to 20k. Every class is fairly balanced. Big deal, you were bursted down. Go about your business, stop complaining.

Our biggest resource does not allow us to dart everyone. The dart requires 20 energy... That is 20%, it is not worth it to lose 20% of our energy darting everyone. As far as waiting for ebtter numbers, I do not have the burst up front. It takes me about 4 gcds to set-up my major burst. If I chose a 3 on 1, normally I would die before I get to kill. On occasions I have been known to hop in, do that and get a kill before dying. As for leveling, level using concealment. If you want to play with lethality, switch at 30. I love playing as the lethality spec. Most people expect an op to be concealment, so when the burst comes later, they are shocked.

Honestly, what would the point be? You can only max out at 1000 of each of the commendations. You can only gather so much gear. You can only get the valor level for up the the level you are. I am level 47 and I have a valor level at 47 and it is maxed out. I have one champion bag, 1000 merc, and I constantly buy stuff just to resale it. The credits are actually very good, but you really do not gain anything for sitting in PVP the leveling experience. A loss will net you about 1 - 5% of a level (based on how long the match was) and a win will get you about 5%. So, it really is not all that great. But, good luck in your decision.

Ok, so I am slowly leveling, mainly through PVP. Here are a few PVP videos of me at 44. As I hit 50 I will post more. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I am by no means perfect, but I enjoy doing these.... Enjoy!!!

I really enjoy a sense of community with-in my realm. Please do not create cross-realm pvp. I know on my server now, I do not want to mess with three people... vintr, bebop, and mikeal. Luckily two of the three are my fellow imperail beings, but I would not run into any of them again. NO TO CROSS REALM ANYTHING. if you do not have a full server, transfer.

I am lethality and I love it. I love PVP and the complexity of the rotation. Lethality has a ton of tools and a lot of escapes. I was concealment at first, and I would recommend to anytone to level using conceal until 30, then switch to lethality. But prior to 30, lethality is pretty useless. I primarily pvp. but I have not hit 50 yet. My rotation... Hidden Strike (+1 TA) Backstab Corrosive Grenade Corrosive Dart Shiv (+1 TA) also refreshes TA weakening blast Cull (-1 TA) Cull (-1 TA) Shiv Stim Debilitate Backstab Shiv That is a perfect world, and it rarely exists. I also put a few of my videos on youtube. Check out my channel = Mrntrigue.

Your goal is to not get hit; Get in, kill, get out. The more cunning you have the better off you are killing things faster. We specialize in escaping. We do not tank, we hit and we hit hard. While I was leveling, I took as much cunning as I could. That is just my two cents.

You want to buy all the gear. The gear will last. I bought the 20 set, then the 40 set. I actually bought two 40 sets to test alacrity on Lethality. The IA PVP gear seller is in Drumond Kaas or at the Imperial Fleet. At the imperial Fleet they are the ones at the end, and the one that sells the gear has a laptop out. But, the gear is worth it. Best gear you can get at that level.

Like others have said, the system is balanced. Its not about the gear, its not about the level Its about the skill. By skill, I mean this in two different aspects, first the skill of the player and second the skills the character has. I higher level character does ahve more tools to use, but there are only so many tools to help. I am level 45, and I seek out a challenge in PVP. I look for the level 50s; preferably the ones with less than 13k life, but I go after level 50s. Now, when I look for these guys, i will attack if they are alone, and normally I will win. I have a valor level of 45 ( I cannot go any higher), so I pvp a lot. As the amount of my tools increased, my k/d ratio increased. And to the idiot on the first page... "I faceroll a bunch of lowbies at the same time"... That is one thing I have noticed in this game, you CANNOT faceroll a bunch of anything at one time. But, thank you for bringing back memories of WOW. Im glad you played also. It was/is a great game.
