  1. You don't. It was cycled out of the game a long time ago. It used to be old PvP Armor.
  2. And does its damage in about 1/5th the time it takes OS/FF deal its damage, as I mentioned above no one would tolerate a ~15s second channel which is about how long OS takes to deal its damage from the start of cast to the last tick. Meanwhile we have smash dealing as much as a pre-nerf orbital instantly and 3-4 times as often. Deathfield puts up similar overall numbers as OS and is rotational and it is not a problem. OS/FF went from one of the best AoEs to one of the worst. They did not meet their goal of removing it from single target rotations, it is staying there because nothing is there to fill the slot in MM and it gets added as filler for Leth and Hybrid. Their staged changes is not a good strategy. I'd rather they just rip the damn band-aid off and get it over with. All it has succeeded in doing is to cheese off Agents. I have a hard time swallowing "We'll fix you later" when it appears they are just breaking stuff that is not broken in the first place. Personally I think the 25% damage reduction that those going "2 and 2" for set bonuses would likely have been enough of a nerf. If they wanted a change in functionality they should have done like what they did with Maras and Bloodlust, the debuff prevents the stacking of maras for BL but they widened its scope to raid-wide which allows raids to put their Anni Mara in the Tank group for extra-heals.
  3. Air Strikes get called in all the time on single hardened targets. Which oddly enough are what OP bosses are. And tell that to the MM tree where the talents make OS and Sniper Volley match up perfectly. That was too good a synergy to have been on accident.
  4. Yeah a rifle is SUPPOSED to do more damage than a Warship's Cannon, just like in real life!
  5. Which is exactly what BW said they wanted to stop, they said they did not want AoE skills being used rotationally...Good job their change had the exact opposite effect they wanted. When is smash going to get hit? It does a pre-nerf OSes damage instantly and upwards of 4 times as often. How about Death Field, it does about the same damage as pre-nerf OS over time and buffs the Sorc's DoTs. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
  6. Yeah, but you won't care. Each tick is going to be doing about 1300 if the guy is in full 78s. It is not really even that useful as an AOE skill anymore. It takes too long to deal its pitiful damage, even Cybertech grenades do more damage quicker. The only thing it is marginally useful for is keep weaks in one spot, the only time I can recall seeing a weak in a OP boss add pack is Corruptor Zero's healers.
  7. I propose that the abilities be renamed either Orbital Wet Noodle or the Orbital Hug for Agents and XS Big Smootch or XS Freighter Flip-off. Having the abilities called the OWN or the XS BS fits their weak<redacted> state.
  8. The problem is that Droid companions do not use standard armorings. They do not have Gloves, Boots, Legs, Head, Chest, Belt, and Bracer slots. They have Parts x2 (Belt/Bracer), Core x2 (Chest/Legs), Motor x2(Boots/Gloves), and Sensors (Head). To equip them with 69+ rated gear you have to have each part crafted, which is extremely expensive when compared to just buying a commendations piece for an organic companion. The Droid companion gearing issue is an unintended side effect of BW locking armorings to slot way back when. As a result, most players shelve their droids in favor of organics due to the ease of gearing them. If Droids were stronger in some way this might be acceptable, but with the exception of HK it really is not.
  9. Which would be fine if weren't against the EULA/TOS that you agreed to. If you were doing it in a game where the EULA/TOS allowed that, I believe EVE Online does, you might have a leg to stand on. By your logic there is nothing wrong with doping in sports. You are cheating filth, yes it was only in a game, but if you can't be trusted in a game, why should you be trusted with anything else of value. I know I would definitely think twice about buying any app you peddled as you have admitted to having no problem doing business with people who think nothing of stealing from others.
  10. I have had a couple that were 1000/990+. One was like your 1000/997, I have half expected to see my name there. It is refreshing to see people fight tooth and nail for a win and not drop the moment they fall behind like in normal PvP.
  11. What a lovely attitude you have. It might do you some good if your account got hacked, maybe that will teach you empathy and make you understand your actions have effects beyond yourself.
  12. Faster on your main, 5xDiplo missions will get it done quickest.
  13. I went from Dark V to Light V on my main using the Diplo/Black Talon method to get both Praxon Speeders. It was quick and easy, I actually made money selling the companion gifts from Diplo. Currently that toon has worked himself back down to almost perfect balance, he is 450 Light.
  14. Cry your bitter tears somewhere else. They do not stop access to anything. You can click through a big speeder. Learn to look at your cursor.
  15. You are scum for buying in game currency from 3rd Parties. By doing so you encourage all the questionable behavior they engage in, such as hacking accounts. You want fancy stuff, earn your money like the rest of us. And as far as I am concerned Buyers should be targeted with even more prejudice than sellers. If there are no more buyers, then the sellers will move on.
  16. Pubs I fear facing are... Mogar, Gunship Harasser Extraordinaire. He got me twice in a game and kept me and a guildy off balance in a game hardcore. HolyWeapon, a very dangerous Gunship pilot. He is really good at luring people close enough to his spawn ship for Flagship insta-gibs. He tricked me once in a game, and I saw him trick another in the same game. Luke-Skywalker, despite having the entire team gunning for him due to the name, he did quite well. He is the only one I have seen that jukes using vertical strafes. The first time he did it to me, I was totally taken by surprise. My railgun shot slid tight over the top of his scout, I bet it left a skidmarks.
  17. Bumping this, I wanted to use Jaesa with my Agent and she does not show up as a purchasable option.
  18. They reduce the hit ship's ability to turn so it does so indirectly, which is why I try to get guys with it in tight quarters. A Scout is especially vulnerable to it as the sudden degradation in maneuverability hits that much harder.
  19. I think the Devs made Sabotage Probes with me in mind. I love chasing some chump into a tight area, hitting him with a probe, and watching him slam into an obstacle. My favorite one was when I caught a guy with one on Kuat Mesas and he flew into one of those mining lasers. The only downside is setting up those crashes is effectively killstealing from myself, the death counts as a self-destruction not a kill.
  20. It would be cool if they put things in that crafting professions could help with it. Artifice could make its usual color crystals and dyes. Maybe give armstech, synthweaving, and armormech consumables that boosts blaster power, shield power, and armor respectively. Cybertech could have a couple debuffing consumables. The only thing I am drawing a blank on is what Biochem would do for it.
  21. Part of the reason you are having trouble finding people for that OP is because it is mechanics heavy and you can't brute force most of the mechanics at 55. Thus all it takes is one bad player to cause wipe after wipe. Combine that with the fact that there are few rewards of interest at this point and you have a recipe for unused content. That said, I loved the hell out Explosive Conflict. Getting down NMM Kephess was a huge rush at the time. When we beat the 2 hour run and got our Warstalker titles I wore that title proudly for a long time.
  22. OP, welcome to the world of camping rare spawns. Desslar is not even that bad of a camp, it has a single placeholder on a relatively fast non-variable respawn timer with a chance to spawn on every pop. Get a stopwatch and you can beat people to the pull every time if you have a non-targeted AoE, like Sniper's Suppressive Fire or Sorcerer's Lightning Storm. I remember week long respawn timers for mobs in FFXI. The competition for those was brutal, you had groups training mobs on groups camping rare spawns and once I remember a group of Japanese players held a mob for almost eight hours to set its spawn time to Japan time. Though they only got away with that because in FFXI once you tagged a mob no one outside your group could touch it unless you called for help, which made it drop no loot. Controlling a rare spawn was a major undertaking by many guilds and most were fiercely territorial over mobs they controlled. In short, it is part of the game, deal with it. If you can't handle the competition, stick to instanced content. Don't ruin it for those of us who actually like the competition. And yes, I camped Desslar and I did win the pull, three times even. I grouped with a couple of guildies who were camping her too and we camped till all three of us got it.
  23. JMD is coming this way so you might not want to be here.
  24. [voice actor nerd] Tom Spackman is the male BH and Grey DeLisle is the Female. Neither had a role in Cowboy Bebop. Steven Blum who plays Spike, has multiple roles in SWTOR, the biggest one being Andronicus for the SI. Beau Billingslea and Wendee Lee who play Jet and Faye are not in SWTOR at all. [/voice actor nerd]
  25. You do realize at Grey V that you have Heroic Moment lasting longer than its cooldown? On top of that you give Grey V a free stun (Smuggler), a damaging channeled stun (Warrior), and a smattering of strong AOEs (Agent, Hunter, Inquistor, Knight, and Trooper) each on a 30s CD. The Free Orbital Strike every 30 secs by itself is pretty dang OP, it is better than my Sniper gets it and he is specced to have it on a shorter cooldown. I would re-roll my current toon and grind my behind to Social X just for that, and I can totally seeing it rapidly become raid standard. With Legacy gear I would only have to re-acquire my Earpiece, Implants, and Relics.
