Dart caps only worked on extreme bads anyway. I will take the non-resolve filling version over the original any day of the week. Buff imo not a berf.

Just wanted to make a non-QQ post. I play a 50 Concealment Operative. Yesterday I had the chance to clear the Lost Island on Hard Mode and Explosive Conflict on Normal mode. It was nice to see the devs step the difficulty up...this was the first hard mode that actually felt hard and the first raid that was truly difficult....took us about 5-6 hours to clear Normal. I'm looking forward to diving into the Hardmode of Explosive. With all the problems in this game I feel like the difficulty curve is finally going into the right direction.

In regards to general MMO theory the melee DPS'er should ALWAYS be able to out DPS ranged. Because Melees usually have much more downtime/damage taken/things to deal with they should be compensated with having the highest DPS. Without this it completely removes any reason to really bring melee DPS to anything, which seems to be the huge flaw in the "make everyone within 5% of eachother" theory. Thieves were like this in EQ, Rogues in Warcraft, but for some reason SWTOR has completely decided that ranged DPS is all that matters and melee DPS is cute but not really as important. Stop your QQing.

Docor Lokin is full Rakata other than Columi Implants. Vector is full Columi Temple is full Columi Kaliyo is full Champ with one or two Rakata Scorpio is cybertech'd up as much as she can be

Gear. Not sure where you're getting this...never seen an Assassin crit harder than me.

Matrix cube if you're min/maxing your stats imo.

Didnt realize skills had to be class exclusive to be able to be useful. Obviously rankings arent out yet so I have no measurable epeen to use to back my points up. If you yourself are bad then yes these are only useful against bad opponents. You sound like one of the legion of bad operatives that cries on the forums about how unfair things are beacuse you're always getting rolled....trust me...well played operatives are by far the most obnoxious class to deal with in Voidstar and far from useless. Lol...honestly have no idea why i even post on the forums...nothing but a bunch of crybabies and whiners that blame class mechanics on their inability to function and contribute. Have fun rerolling, slitting your wrists, cancelling your account, or whatever your type does...after the next round of nerfs hopefully only the real operatives will remain. If anyone is serious about contributing to their team and winning games feel free to PM me for some pointers...I cant go back and forth with whiners all day.

Lifelong Concealment Operative checking in. Huttball: Endzone Stealth Passes and intercedes, Healer Sniping, Keeping the top free of snipers, Controlling the middle, Roots in the hazards when resolve bars are full, emergency heals etc. Voidstar: Eye in the sky emergency door cap stopper. On offense sneak to the weak side and wait for an opening to burst down and cap. Civil War: Whatever...guarding a node, stealth bursting people to cap lightly guarded nodes, harassing a node so the team is forced to keep 3-4 people there.

ehhh...i use my rifle all the time. Obviously a knife mainhand would make more sense though, maybe with a blaster on your hip.

Current record is 5809 after the 2 nerfs on HS. I'm fully min/max'd rank 80. Im geared to the teeth so I don't know what playing an ungeared Op is like but honestly there really isnt any class that I CANT beat 1v1. There are some that are harder/closer than others and obviously I dont win 100% of my fights but there isnt anyone on the battlefield that I would go out of my way to avoid 1v1. In all honesty though since the medal change I don't really 1v1 farm as much. Im much more objective based with my team.

Look into getting the Advanced Artful Mod 25 from the Battlemaster Gloves http://www.torhead.com/item/auFUJ14/advanced-artful-mod-25 The stats I PvP with atm. 35.08 Crit 77.29 Crit Multiplyer 502 Expertise 742.2 Bonus Damage

Are you sure the unloads were being properly interrupted? I'd be more quick to blame bad interrupts than bad healing on that particular fight

Answers in quote.

lost about 15% but if you include stims/relics I lost around 22%. (I used to get up to 99.5%) 75% seems to be the soft cap...at 72% surge rating if I add 800 surge for 15 seconds through buffs it bumps me up to 77%....which is rediculous.

Leaving matches you're losing is kinda retarded imo. You do realize that one day there will be rank 70+ gear and you will have to get valor again right? Me personally I'd rather not be pissed at myself down the road when I realize I probably gave up 2 ranks of valor because "all i cared about was wins".

Operatives AGAIN apparently...

You can't use a finite word like worthless then point out its worth. Just sayin. Orbital strike has its uses and any good operative knows that there is a time and place where they absolutely love orbital.

The hit box is huge. No clue what you're talking about. There is not a single boss in game where i've had issues with positioning.

Sorry you just sound bad at it. Roll something like a Sorc that is easier to play.

Best ive found http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-J9HzwfJbfKo/TwXm5S9fEMI/AAAAAAAAGi8/y_PL6ZUMYrQ/s1600/swtor+sith+social+armor.jpg

Nostalgic thread is nostalgic.

With 99% surge rating and 680 expertise and 15% expertise buff I dont think ive crit over 5k once in a warzone after the nerf. People claiming 5k hits need to provide screenshots or I dont buy it. Even if they are it must be 1 out of 100 matches when they magically find that rank-0 noob to PvP that is running around naked.

Its already like that with sorcs sometimes. Was in a game today with 11 sorcs.

Checking in again. I knew this was coming before the game was even a week old.

Cloaking screen drops you out of combat so yes mobs will heal back to full as if you have left combat.
