BIOWARE, COME ON! This server is dead. People want to PLAY. They want to PVP. I'm tired of waiting HOURS for GSF or WZ to pop. This is ridiculous! And don't tell us to transfer to another server because some of us want to be on a PVP server, and the others are just as dead. So MERGE US, PLEASE!

Couldn't find a solid answer. Some say shield rating/absorb/whatever but some caution against that because crits bypass it, so they recommend max endurance. What do you all think? This is for a pvp guardian tank (defense spec.) Thanks much!

Thanks for the reply. You've caught my interest. Why is it 30x easier? Last time I played I'd have to get war hero for the expertise, strip some rakata stuff, etc, and put it in the war hero gear. Not so anymore?

Hey all, Gunslinger sharpshooter just returning to the game after a long time off. (Probably 2 years.) Just hit 60. I have lots of question (which stats most important, which gear set for pvp, etc) but I can probably just search for those answers. Question is, is there any point in gearing up or practicing rotations now, or will the new expansion make current pvp gear useless and completely redo our skills/Stat requirements? I'm mostly a PVPr. What are people doing to prepare for the expansion? Thanks fellow 'slingers, ThomasAnderson POT5

Hello all, I just resubbed after being gone for a year and a half at least. So just hit 60. Gunslinger. I'm looking for an active guild (pvp is my primary focus but I do enjoy PvE as well) I'm not very geared--mostly Ziost gear. Pvp gear is all war hero so essentially worthless. Any active pvp and pve guilds around that could use a gunslinger and doesn't mind my renewed noobishness? (Not bad in pvp but haven't done new ops, strongholds, or space yet.) Thanks ThomasAnderson = ign

Sorry. I meant to post this in the GS forum, but, Gunslinger, Sharpshooter mainly.

Also looking for info on what % your stats should be (crit, surge, etc etc) Been a while I'm sure some of them have been changed.

Hello all, I am just returning from a long break. I'm rocking war hero gear still, lol. Just hit 55 and am going to work on my PVP suit. What stats should I aim for? I remember before people would be like aim for xxx crit, xxx surge, etc, and I'm wondering if a lot of that has changed. Any stats useless now? Etc? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies. Anyone else? Does expertise yield more damage at 1300-1400 or should I go power?

Hey guys, I heard the expertise returns were changed in the last patch. It is my understanding that at around 1200/1250 you start getting diminishing returns as far as damage reduction, healing received, etc, but that damage produced continues on sort of like power? Is this the case? Basically I just finished my war hero suit (gunslinger dps) and I'm trying to figure out whether to sacrifice the extra expertise in belt/bracers for a custom one with skill armoring 26, and whether to replace my expertise crystals in my blasters with power ones. So, at 1370 exp, which I am currently at, am doing less damage than I would if I were at 1200 expertise or so, and added some power/cunning? Thanks

Thanks. It does help a lot. But I guess the question I'm really asking is what piece should I be buying a lot of, to replace mods/enhancements in other pieces? Like I hear people buy 5 boots, gloves, whatever it may be for that class, to optimize mods to maximize power. What would that piece be for gunslinger?

No one?

Okay guys I'm one piece away from getting full war hero, finally. Now I need to figure out what mods to swap to get it to be perfect. I'd ideally like to remove some accuracy, MAYBE some crit...and add power. What are the mods/enhancements I should use in all my pieces? Can I/should I use PVE pieces? Thanks

Hey guys/gals. Just getting back to the game after a few month break (came back when the servers merged...good move bioware, finally.) I'm working on my war hero set. I'm specced sharpshooter at the moment and have no plans of changing it (yet.) Right now I have WH Field Medic belt and WH Field Tech bracers....the rest is battlemaster (mostly field tech.) What is the preferred method of getting WH stuff? Are people actually going through and getting every piece, or do people keep buying bracers or gloves or something, ripping the mods out, and putting them in battlemaster (or other orange) pieces? What should I do, go through and get each piece in field tech, and live with those mods, or should I be swapping mods from certain pieces? I'm shooting for 100% accuracy (at 103.68% right now), 35% crit (buffed), and 75% surge. Are these the caps I should be shooting for? And my last question is about the cunning soft cap. Right now I'm at 1595 buffed. As I start getting more WH pieces...should I be augmenting with skill or overkill? I mean, at what point does cunning become less useful than power? Thanks in advance for all the help!

What about the soft cap for cunning? I'm wondering at what point I should opt for overkill augments vs skill augments.
