He did specify that it's the biggest single gcd ability.

Here's my video from months ago: From before the force quake nerf.

Where do you recommend dropping the dot spread abilities into the rotation with assault/IO? I've been experimenting a bit with it but haven't effectively found a way to do it.

Tanking is my favorite role but I main dps. My guild is small and we have 4 players that want to tank. Unfortunately for me I'm good at both roles and better at dps than the other players. I considered finding a new guild where I could tank but let's be honest, half of this tier is done with 1 tank on story mode and the guilds that are progressing in hard mode already have 2 tanks. So, for me, it feels like I have to play dps if I want to progress. And I'd settle for pugging except my experience, at least on Rep side Jedi Covenant, is that the typical pug dps is awful. For example, I queued for a random hmfp Saturday night and got Blood Hunt. I got a pretty good sage healer, a TK Sage, and a commando trying to (and failing) play assault. 50% at enrage and 4 adds up. Obviously, this is well after the nerf. It's ludicrous. And this is only my most recent pug experience but I'm sure everyone reading this has had something similar. From my perspective, if you want me tanking in pug groups, the player base needs to step their game up.

Thanks for this guide. This expansion is the first time my guild has needed me to play dps instead of a tank so I've been hopping around class to class trying to find one I like and then I saw this guide and settled on Commando. It has helped me tremendously and with only a few weeks of gearing I was able to pull off this parse: http://parsely.io/parser/view/27744/0

I use the EL-34 Rotary Plasma Cannon. It's about as long as a typical assault cannon but much more narrow.

I leveled my Commando to 60 from character creation since 3.0. I didn't spec to assault until after 60 so I can't speak to that but gunnery was about as easy as could be. I have to think you're doing something very wrong.

If I say please will you join us? Seriously though, we've got a need for a few solid players. DPS and heals are essential though we won't turn anyone away. We're not hardcore and enjoy joking around on teamspeak. We're open to coordinating days and even an alliance to run raids. We just want consistent groups so we can learn content and develop the team work necessary to move into harder content. If you can't find Dover you can contact me on Zakheni.

This is true, but at this point in the MMO genre how do you release a game without character transfers from the start? It's a little ridiculous that we're over a year from launch and still don't have it. With how many people have bailed on this game you'd think they'd be giving people what they want.
