1.) Healing is perceived to just heal. The tools you give me also make it easier for me to heal in PvP. People perceive damage is to burst folks down. 2.) I perceive healing to help my team capture points. Damage, I have to make myself an annoyance to the team, since other classes off better damage in WZ's. To do that, Lethality is my preferred spec. One issue with the Operative Lethality is that there isn't much synergy in the tree, compared to snipers. We also have to use more energy to get a Cull off (Shiv+Cull=34 energy), along with having to stay in thick of things in melee range. It feels like the TA mechanic was just thrown on Cull at the last minute so the tree uses TA's and that it's different from the sniper version. At least decrease the energy cost of cull so our Shiv+Cull= 25 energy.

Yes it gives nice Xp and the Level 20 set, and the level 40 PvP sets are great for leveling! As for the 'best' spec, check the mercenary forums!

For visuals, I think the Sniper's animations are WAY better than Gunslingers. The skill names are cooler too. As for Op vs. Scound. Do you want to use hidden knives or a shotgun? I chose knives. Plus, the Op uses a knife more than the Scoundrel uses the shotgun. Our stun and everything short of 10m is a knife. Where as the Scoundrel uses a crotch kick (stun) a pistol whip (We stick a knife in their chest), backblast (shotgun) vs. back stab, Shootfirst(shot gun) vs. Hidden strike(over head reverse grip stab). These are my biased opinions of course!

Pistol Weilding Operative FTW! I use my knife mostly anyways.... Also, as to the fact that each weapon would need new sets of stats, and the animations. Only let us use the opposite faction's choice of weapon, and the opposite AC's choice of weapon, with a few exceptions. For example, BH's should not be able to use an assault cannon. It just doesn't make sense. Even the merc has a large arsenal of wrist mounted gadgets. The Clairvoyant strike issue is also easily fixed, the way the single saber spins during a saber throw animation is similar to the clairvoyant animation.

Something I see that alot of people tend to do in an MMO, is that they turn it into work. It's a video meant to have fun! You think your time is better managed grinding than doing World PvP. Why do you need incentive to World PvP if it's enjoyable already for you?

Because fighting someone on an even level playing field (Equal resolve amounts) won't make us better. Only getting ground pounded by some by some 20k WH+aug will make me a better PvP'er.

When I want a casual experience, I DPS. When I want to feel important, I play my healer spec.

All DPS in this game is viable. Some are just more difficult to use than others, but they all do well in PvE. If you are looking for something difficult, go Operative, Marauder, or Juggernaut. Something easy? Then go Sorcerer or Mercenary Something medium hard I'd say Sniper, PT, or Assassin.

Ugh that is frustrating.

What's up with the screen shots posted on the homepage then?

I just saw screen shots of him on the home page, where can I start this quest?

Lethality requires almost no cover at all, just like it requires almost no stealth at all for Ops. It's a very popular PvP spec because of that. However, it will not come into it's own until you get Cull.

Any tree will work, as long as your not doing anything stupid like tank spec+Tank companion (But DPS+DPS will work).

Yes. moar wordz.

Hello, after looking through the builds. None that I found are updated since 1.3 hit. Which is the most popular build that gives me FiB+Pull?

As a tank in PvP, the hardest thing for me to do, is to target who I want targeted. Obviously, I can't mouse target due to the Cluster-F$%^@. That leaves tab targeting. My problem is that, tab target NEVER goes where I need it to. Does anyone have any solutions as to what I can change my key-bind for targeting function to? Because of the stupid tab targeting in this game, I often target the wrong person over and over and over again for interrupting turret takes and bomb planters. I also run into this problem when I need to taunt someone, often taunting the person attacking me.

Still learning here, so I'm curious. Why do you choose to take 2% less damage than have the 45% chance of a double project?

You can get FiB/Deathfield and still have pull.

For DPS I should also recommend Gunslinger/sniper. The nice thing about the sniper's tree is that you have one that augments your AoE, one meant for heavy single target burst damage, and one for a very mobile spec, if you get tired of being a turret.

It was extremely difficult to read your post, but I think I got the gist of it. What does "ect" mean in your language?

So, in reality it only heals you and 3 other people then? :/

One thing you should not forget, is that EVERY class can DPS in this game if they spec that way. For example: Marauder/sentinel- argued to be the best DPS atm in PvP and PvE-Melee DPS Powertech/Vanguard: Very strong in PvP as a tank and especially in PvP due to high burst-Varies between 4m, 10m and 30m Skills Juggernaughts/Guardians: Decent in PvP atm, but at a small disadvantage DPS wise in PvP. PvE is fine.-Melee DPS Sorcerer/Sage: Having a difficult time in PvP due to being squishy. They currently top healing charts in PvE due to their unmatched AoE healing ability. Damage is fine in both trees also.- Ranged DPS Sniper/Gunslinger: Dps is perfectly viable in PvP and PvE right now.- Ranged DPS Operative/Scoundrel: Best PvP healing right now due to alot of instant cast heals. Balanced PvE healing. Perfectly viable in PvE and PvP- melee range DPS mostly Mercenary/Commando: Lacking in PvP currently due to their turret like spec. Perfectly viable in PvE.-Ranged DPS Assassin/Shadow: Extremely strong class in PvP right now because of strong DPS and Lots of utility. Mostly Melee DPS range Your Marauder has tons of survivability CD's. Juggs have quite a few as well. PT is a great choice for staying out of boss AoEs, but need to be in 4m to be the most effective. Both stealth classes have nice CD's as well.

Hello everyone! Been trying to find a nice looking rifle for a while now, but with no avail. What are some of your favorites?

Question in the Title. Thanks! Also, what perk in the healing tree allows me to stack 3 UH/TA procs? When in Lethality, I can only stack 2 UH/TA.

I've been wondering this lately. I can understand the LS sith on the Dark Council, because the LS choices are always good for the empire. How can you fit a DS jedi becoming a master?
