Trying to log in to the PTS and getting stuck on the fist loading screen. Does not progress to the character selection screen and needs to be forced to stop. Also having the same issue that others are having with the downloads every time I switch to the PTS server in the launcher. I checked the logs and I noticed an error. Am I doing something wrong? 3003(LOGIN_ERROR_USER_NOT_AUTHORIZED_BY_PLATFORM) C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic\publictest\retailclient\publictest\logs 2022-11-16T21:04:30.348913 2878 ERROR HandleLoginFailure errorCode: 3003(LOGIN_ERROR_USER_NOT_AUTHORIZED_BY_PLATFORM) [Login.firestorm.client.OmegaClientApp](omegaclientapp.cpp:OmegaClientApp::HandleLoginFailure:441) 2022-11-16T21:04:30.348913 2878 DEBUG Disconnect invoked with error code LOGIN_ERROR_USER_NOT_AUTHORIZED_BY_PLATFORM [Disconnect.firestorm.client.OmegaClientApp](omegaclientapp.cpp:OmegaClientApp::Disconnect:180)

That's perfect... Thank you for taking the time.

Just got back into my sorc and was playing Lightning. It's pretty good but the cast times are a little slow in Arena's and mobility is an issue. So I want to try out Madness. Can someone post a quick priority rotation? Just looking for a guide to get me started. Thanks

Thank you again.

Cool, thanks. Can you link a Sawbones PVP build? I've looked at some of the builds I've found here on the forum and I'm not sure they are PVP builds. For instance, I don't see any builds that utilize "Sedatives", which seems like a very useful PVP skill to have. Unless I'm just wrong about it.

Just rolled a Scoundrel for healing in PVP. He's level 14 right now. I only have two healing abilities and they kinda suck. I know it's a level issue, but not sure when I'll be able to start healing properly in general and what should I be doing until then? Also, the first abilities that I have don't really make surviving arena's very easy either. Reg war zones are OK, at least until someone see's me, then I'm dead. So, when can I start healing like a grownup and what do I do until then?

That doesn't explain the reason for the low numbers on the BIG hitting abilities. Which is the other part of the question. Any insight?

Thanks for all the reply's but I should have specified that I was referring to PVP. I realize that when people are compiling video's of warzone matches they will most likely be showing the highlights and not the average results. This can be deceiving. But I tend not to see the high damage results from the same abilities when I use them. Using Maul with Duplicity ~ 4k. I rarely see the 8-9k mauls. Using Discharge with 3 stacks of Static Charge ~ 5-7k The numbers that I'm seeing are not as large as they should be. My Build: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200bcZfrfRzGbRrbzZcM.3 It's not my gear: Full conqueror stalker set: Min/Mas for Power and Surge Fully Augmented with Advance Overkill Augment 28 Melee: Damage (Pri): 1326-1580 Bonus Damage: 817.8 Accuracy: 94.91% Critical Chance: 18.27% Critical Multiplier: 72.85% Force: Bonus Damage: 1199.1 Bonus Healing: 867.4 Accuracy: 104.91% Critical Multiplier: 72.85% Force Regen Rate: 8.0 Alacrity: 0 Strength: 132 Presence: 370 Aim: 67 Cunning: 69 Endurance: 2659 Willpower: 2303 Expertise: 2018 I do well in warzone's but I want to do better. I want to dominate. I want to be able to take even the strongest opponents down. I've chosen the rotation that I use because I believed that it gives me more sustained damage rather than just being a one burst pony. However, I'm not sure if it's working or if it's limiting me in some way. Is my rotation causing me to miss out on the larger numbers or is there some advanced tactics that I don't know about?

I've been getting the feeling lately that I'm not doing as well as I could. Typical rotation for me is: Spike >- Maul -> Voltaic Slash until I get 3 stacks of Static charge (between 3 and 4 times) -> Discharge -> Shock -> Discharge -> Recklessness -> Discharge -> Low Slash -> Maul How does this stack up? Any pointers or changes you can suggest?

Sorry, but that made me laugh.

Here's another rotation: Spike -> Maul -> Voltaic Slash -> Voltaic Slash -> Shock -> Discharge -> Recklessness -> Discharge -> Low Slash -> Electrocute -> Maul -> Assassinate Using Electrocute after Low Slash SHOULD proc Duplicity and Nerve Wracking, making your last Maul very strong. However, I've noticed that Low Slash doesn't always proc Duplicity despite having Impose Weakness.
