yes i do play to have fun with guildies and friends if i have all equal amount of gear with someone who placed similar amount of time, i wouldnt complain. if there were WARHERO gears or higher and people have advantage over me, i wouldnt complain either. if im sinking #of time into the game and because of this dumb RNG im sub geared and im given 5~10% disadvantage over peers, then YES i do have a problem. ive hit valor 60 pre 1.1.5 valor boost and have done every single weekly/daily every day. now i am valor 65 and i have no gear whatsoever so show for. i have yet to seen a valor 65 (who hit BM pre 1.1.5) player with just 1 BM gear to show for which was earned via post 1.1.5 by grinding WZ commendations. finally decided to quit the subscription after numerous complaints answered with robotic automatic responses. (which i didnt expect any more or less) figure i should bytch here before account runs of out playtime. here's my $100 worth (game + subs) of bytching. FU BIOWARE and GO TO F'IN HELL FOR WASTING MY TIME. thanks for reading. (ha! can't even ues the word ***** here got to sub with BYTCHING)

could you post which mods you have done to your BM gear? im close to getting valor 60 and interested in what people do to maximize their gear so i can prepare ahead? thank you in advance

hmm yea makes me believe YOU are the one fighting against the real baddies. whining.. that's what YOU are doing. some of us are trying to see if we can make the spec more viable. and YES. go watch those videos and keep drooling. At v50+, just makes me believe all you are doing is killing via outgearing orange geared people.

not really understanding OP's point? i think YOU should go watch their videos again and TRY to read what powerr's posted regarding both specs instead of just drooling all over keyboard looking at his big crits. spike jolt ls electrocute jolt etc etc etc. nothing other trees can't do either. if you don't understand why deception tree is broken, then YOU should think again what you are doing in this game. obviously you don't read posts so i won't even bother explaining why it's broken. or just go drool some more on their videos.

nice argument. however, consider this. making epic quality armor, weapon, or accessories are fairly easy in this game compared to WoW. just sending out pets instead of running around all over places can net you easy epic gear. these epic gears with mod enhanced stats are NOT inferior to PvP gear like you claim. i have seen plenty of people use epic gear in WZ and do well enough to earn wins etc. difference between PvP gear in WoW and TOR is even bigger than you'd think. If doing normal 85 dungeon made you competive in BGs, then you are completely wrong. it is in fact easier to have easier time in TOR WZ than WoW BG when you compare the amount of time you have to spend running around to create yourself a decent set of dps or healing gear. looks like expertise offers about 10% healing or dps to your advantage (or dmg received). if you think that's the cause of yourself getting 2 shotted in WZ than think again. it isn't the 10% that's causing some people to have hard time within WZ. it is their laziness or lack of knowledge to create some epic items to get themselves some nice gear to offset that 10%. last time i checked, u can net yourself pretty nice "purples" from the market with couple hundred thousand "units" or "money." running around doing dailies commendation quests for 3 hours net me around 100,000 units or "money". you wanna talk about progression? it is ALOT easier to progress to decent competitive level here than WoW. granted "skills" offered probably more advantage in PvP in WoW than TOR, however, if you ever played WoW, then you'd know nothing was ever easy back in vanilla nor was it ever balanced. it's taken me less time here in TOR to get to Champion (with full champion gear) vs. duelist title in WoW (taken me 4 years of my bad skills to improve) and 80,000+ kills in BG.

why are people still comparing WoW to SW:ToR? dont talk like gear didnt matter in WoW either. wearing craftable pvp gear in wow was a joke. u all talk like u had skills to get to 2200 rating with blue craftable. its all about gear wherever you go it seems like. its the reason people pay 15 a month. that one more extra grind... its addicting. and after all the grind, it BETTER be stronger than the one YOU have. most people who has Champion or higher gear went through just like everyone else did in the beginning. grind like everyone else or quit the damn game. so sick of all this QQ all these QQs in the forum saying how they are going to quit blah blah blah please.. do me a favor and just quit..
