  1. That's 150 commendations per warzone. My average is about 80 from losing in PUGs, 120-150 (rare) from winning (as a tank, who has arguably the easiest time farming medals). If medals are an indication of valor gained, I get more than 90% of all players in wz (both sides) on my server.
  2. I do have issues with having to spend 3+ months for a 5% stat increase. I fail to see that "casual" part.
  3. Wonderful change. I needed a reason to stop logging on my main and they gave it to me on a silver plate.
  4. Some nice info, thanks Our ability to ignore armor of the enemy is pretty solid, though. Many attacks important for our rotations are elemental, we can spec for elemental dot and internal damage dot, Assault spec has nasty refreshable elemental dot as a basic attack proc, and High Impact Bolt, the main attack skill for Assault and Assault hybrid specs, is usually specced to ignore 60-90% of the armor. I am not going to calculate it right now, but my guess is that at least half of our damage in most specs ignores armor and shield. Probably even more for some dps oriented specs.
  5. Too much effort for too little profit. Those Mac users who are serious about gaming are already running Dual Boot configuration. Mac users are not typical gamers. Macs are not bought for gaming (well if someone does buy Mac for games, he needs a brain scan). The HW is too costly and rarely designed for gaming needs (often with subpar or average at best GPU). Macs still need a second OS to support most games, but at least they are using x86 CPUs now... On top of that, developing multiplatform projects for Mac OS X is a nightmare, for many many reasons that are not really important to end users, but very important for game developers, mainly programmers.
  6. Combat Tech bonus for Neural Surge had an unpleasant effect of making the ability buggy, which was finally fixed yesterday. That's why I went for Eliminator set first. I figured out that I would have get more than enough PVP bags to get Combat Tech set later and I wasn't wrong. --- Against Sith Assasins, keep CC for their mez out of stealth, if in 1 on 1 situation with no backup. If you blow it on something else, you will give them a free victory. Their ability to vanish, drop combat, mez you and use their out of combat self-heal for the duration of mez is very powerful. You have to burn through their HP twice, if you let them do that. It doesn't seem our dots can prevent Vanish, they always seem to get away with both Gut and Incendiary Round ticking on them. --- But good sins, especially tank sins are hard to kill and I am hardly an expert. This is just something I picked up after seeing two sins duelling each other, a pretty cheap tactic.
  7. One more thing about the damage. Sentinels have some kind of buff on 5min cd that will increase damage of their group by 15%. It works only for 4 man group in the warzone, not for all 8 teammates. It would be interesting to see PC/MV combo on a group with Sentinel's buff active Oldschool Bright Wiz/Sorc bomb groups anyone?
  8. Ion cell stance increases your mitigation from 30% to 50% (approximately). That means you will be taking almost 30% less damage from attacks mitigated by armor. Lightning sorceres do mostly energy damage, which will be mitigated by armor. But their abilities are classified as force abilities and they will go right through your shields. Only weapon abilities (melee/range) can proc your shield.
  9. As assault in Ion Cell, Gunslingers are good bet. When specced for Storm, assisting and guarding Sentinels is hard to beat.
  10. Oh, it's actually today! A perfect time to respec and honor the memory of fallen avians by storming our enemies with HIB-induced laughter.
  11. No, not Taugrim. Some PT came up with it and it remained in use precisely because it's so stupid. And sad. Poor birds.

  13. 8% affects only the proc damage of Ion Cell, a few points of damage.
  14. I have seen no kill trading on The Shadow Runner so far, and a lot of small to mid scale fighting. Good times, even though imps do outnumber us.
  15. The left and right flank doesn't change either. It's always on your left, respective on your right when you enter the battlefield. bounty hunter voice You will pick up knitting and leave the pvp to people with a working sense of orientation. /bounty hunter voice
