Nice work.

How do you figure that the Rakata 15% crit chance thrash increase is better than the Survivor set which gives you a straight up 5% Expertise damage bonus with Guard on? Also, how do you figure that not having Wither is good for the 6 seconds of force regen out of stealth? You can nearly instantly get two stacks of HD then.

I'll take Expertise over a new tier of PvE gear any day. Straight up percentage increase. Kids who PvP in PvE gear are awesome.

BM comms will be purchased in the future.

I don't know what that Darkness spec is hitting, probably buncha kids with no PvP gear. I am in Full Champ and several BM pieces and mine don't hit quite that hard. Yep, and non-interruptable force lightning doesn't make us immune to stun or knockback.

Yeah, and kill trading is still going on even with the recent update to /stuck, unfortunately. Ilum seems doomed with the recent PTR patchnotes though, so whatever.

Trolling? Just trying to be helpful, haha. I don't think it needs to be addressed immediately, but it isn't how it should work. If it weren't for the internal CD of 3 minute valor, then I'd say it's actually quite game breaking.

That's what we thought too, haha.

Please report this to Bioware so it is addressed in an upcoming patch. This is not game breaking per se as it really can't be abused any quicker than getting armaments / real kills anyway, but it shouldn't exist in game. Basically, a player is able to duel a member of the same faction, bring them to low life, knock them off (or we found out the player can just jump off - as long as some dmg was dealt before it), and receive Valor and credit for the Ilum daily. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmZqktzqA6o

Since they announced players will be able to better customize their appearance via orange pieces, I have been on the prowl for some robes with hoods. I have yet to find one, even as a 400 synthweaver. Are there any out there that are fairly easy to obtain, or will they be implementing more? *edit* Nevermind, silly me was simply previewing it with my a helm equipped. Even with show helm off, the helm still appears for previews.

Are you hitting Force Potency prior to using Project or Force Breach? Popping relics?

Plasma grenade is a kinetic effect. http://www.torhead.com/ability/cqeSRFf/plasma-grenade Basically, you're just AoEing them out. Bonus for you, Force Shroud can't resist that. But, a good assassin would force shroud + cloak + speed away to an area you are unlikely to drop that at.

Not that I know of, as it IS confirmed it removes Bleeds.

To sum this up: If players are somehow popping Assassins from stealth, there are a different options on how this happens: 1) Said Assassin is not a quality player and pops Force Cloak PRIOR to Force Shroud, where the dot actually ticks on the cloak, therefore rendering Force Shroud useless. Sure, they removed the ability, but only after their stealth is broken. 2) The player AoEs an area after the cloak, hitting the Assassin after Force Shroud is down. 3) The player uses a NON-Tech or Force AoE while Force Shroud + Cloak is popped.

Like this.
