Gear with the label "Commando" is actually Vanguard gear.

Interesting user name on YouTube. Pretty sure you're NOT the guy typically associated with that name in the TOR community. You seem to pop off concussion charge at random times. Would suggest you save it for when you really need to use it.

Why would you let newbies bother you? They're NEW. Instead of getting pissed off and being a dick, why not help them out? This is equivalent to laughing at a toddler who falls down while learning to walk. Newbies aren't the problem. The problem is the F everyone attitude this community has and the macho swagger that people adopt for getting a few kills in PVP. Get over yourselves, learn how to play as part of team, and eat some humble pie. Flame suit on.

Surge nerf?

Advanced Tech is a tiny increase. Ironsights is a bigger increase to THE stat for Troopers, Aim. Steadied Aim is very important in PVP if you want to put out decent damage. Plus, pushbacks are very frustrating and distracting. Heavy Trooper, again, is a tiny increase. Cell Charger, I agree with you. If you plan on being a medic, you need CSC. Personally, I'm not a fan of switching cells. If you have Grav Round, Charged Barrel looks like it might be handy...although personally I wouldn't spend the skill points needed to get that high in the tree. I currently use treated wound dressing (to get into the next tier mainly) but Medzone only has an effect while reactive shield is on, which is a very small window of time.

Check your gear, does it need to be upgraded? Does it need to be repaired? Are you in a heroic area or other location with tough mobs? The Level # isn't the only indicator as to how strong a mob is. Are you using a companion? Something isn't right with your character or the mobs you're going up against. Commandos typically have a very easy time with solo play against run of the mill mobs.

Added to siggy.

Cryo grenade and our pushback (forget the name, concussion charge?) is all we got for an interrupt. They're slow to activate in hectic pvp. I'm training myself to use both sparingly so I can have an emergency interrupt. Usually forget and just pop 'em off though. D'oh!

What's the cool down for stealthing out of combat? Think my first alt will be an Agent and that sounds like fun.

Who cares about your entire WOW guild and other MMO m8s? My grandparents will never play SWTOR either, but I'm not announcing it to the world. Maybe I should?

Way too much CC in the game. It makes for boring PVP at best and excruciatingly frustrating PVP at worst. Personally, I've resigned myself to just rolling my eyes when I get stun locked. The alternative is to rage and punch babies. Is the resolve bar still bugged? I'm pretty patient with waiting out short stuns to fill up my resolve bar...yet even when it's white I still seem to get CC'd??

I'm starting to find that a lot of PVP is centered entirely on CC abilities. I find this style of game play boring on both offense and defense. Sometimes it seems the game should be called Star Wars The Old Stun Lock. Not sure if there's a fix for it or if the player base as a whole would want it changed, but personally I'd like to see a reduction in the amount of CC that comes into PVP. Replace it with more things that set people on fire!!

That's a matter of opinion. What's important about the situation you've described is that the type of loser that would camp a noob area at level 50 is playing on a different server than I am so I don't have to deal with that type of mouth breathing troglodyte. Keep up the good work Bioware!

This is not a recruitment post for my guild, this is an advice post. Join a guild. This is the single most important thing you can do to improve nearly every aspect of your game play.

I consistently win in PVP when playing with a few guild mates. Playing in a pug = no organization, no leadership. Warzones aren't solo content. You need to play as an organized team to win. Get some friends together, talk strategy, and queue as a group. You'll do better, trust me.

I hope they leave it random. Otherwise, you're gonna have the same inquisikids and the like dominating a particular warzone and ruining it for everyone else. Work on your weakness and try to improve your huttball game. I used to hate it until I started learning how to play the warzone. it's very different from the other two and can be a TON of fun if you're in a good group.

Prebutlers need their own brackets too. Seriously though, it would be nice to have this option. Playing in pugs is extremely frustrating sometimes. Sadly, I don't see it happening.

I think it's reasonable for the mark to be cleared if the marked player is killed. Shame to see so many pointless, insult-laden comments in this thread. This place needs to grow up.

I don't follow, but casting time down to 0.99 sounds very desireable. Can you please explain. I am but a simple caveman.

So what does this mean in layman's terms? That commandos should try and set alacrity around 140-165?

Ahhh, I was thinking of FPS as an overall indicator of performance, which it isn't.

Hi all, I have a new TOR machine that's been working like a champ. While engaged in game play, my FPS ranges from 60 to 100, usually the upper end of the range. When loading, FPS will drop down to 0, then slowly ramp up to 10-20 for a while, then jump back up to 60 and up after a minute or two. Is this a normal FPS behavior while loading?

If I understand the descriptions correctly, Charged Bolts and Grav Round have very similar base damage. However, Grav Round can reduce 4% armor rating for 15 seconds up to 5 times. This equals a 20% armor reduction, right? That's a huge boost to damage done relative to Charged Bolts. The problem still remains cast time. Charged Bolts and Grav Round are slooooooow. I do better dps whacking groups of players/mobs with my AoE attacks. it comes down to how you want to play your combat medic, and i personally haven't settled on what i want to do yet: primary healer with ample opportunities to pump out damage with AoE and Charged bolts, or focus more on putting out slightly more damage by using grav rounds and charged bolts and AoE and devoting far less time to healing. Both assume you're using CSC.

While I think the name of the game should be changed to Star Wars The Old Stun Lock, sadly no. It seems sometimes huttball pass just doesn't work correctly. Maybe it's my computer. Shrug.
