It seems everyone forgot that wow was not the first MMO. Lots of games before had raiding, the leveling system, guilds and all that crap that everyone loves. It all comes down to personal taste, personally I hated wow since day one I thought it was the worst MMO I ever played. Also, games have bug this happens this is BWs first MMO and it's already better and further along than other MMO's that have been at the the same point of development. If you like wow so much then go back to wow, if you like Star Wars than keep playing Star Wars simple as that.

Hey everyone so I am a level 50 Tank Assassin and I love this class. But I have one huge compliant that may be the ultimate reason I stop playing this class if the problem isn't addressed. Our end game raid armor is complete crap. At the time being I have 27.12 Def% Which is 402 Defense rating total. Fully equipped with Columni armor will drop me down to a low 243 Defense rating which is about 23% def. But than we get a big boost of Shield Absorpation rating which brings us up to 245 Absorb points. Now this would be fine and dandy but the armor doesn't increase shield rating AT ALL +0 shield rating is crap. With Dark Ward and the +5% you get from set bonus's this will bring us to about 31% shield rating with Dark Ward always up. Not that good. Now of course we can alter the gear and make it more to our liking but this will also be a pain. I have found no good way to alter this gear to a way I like I am always losing something important and will end up with a bunch of somewhat crappy skills instead of a few really good skills. I am either losing more Def, or Acc or endurance or something of the sort. So all you Sin tanks out there post what you think is best for our end game build cause at this time my armor I have now blows this end game armor out of the water and it cant get any better, which is why I was hoping the end game raid gear could give me that extra push I need, but it doesn't.

Hmm that was my concern, well that is okay than I suppose I will stick with the plan I had, My defense will be 30% by the end of the week and at that point I will start moving towards shield rating and absorbastion rating. Really the only problem I see with the raid gear is no +shield rating if it didn't jib us on that it wouldn't be so bad. EDIT: So from the looks of things if you use the earpiece/implants you get from dailies these will increase you're defense and shield rating, and you wont lose any accuracy/endurance in the process. So what I am thinking is when getting the raid gear, replacing the enchancments with Advanced Immunity 22's until you're accuracy looks like it may drop below 100% at which point start stacking Advanced Protection 22's in the enchancments until it appears you are safe, now once you exceed 30% defense perhaps it will be best to slot up a +shield rating, +absorb rating enchacment at a few times, as for the mods I am not sure how to go about those. Dunno if I should leave them as the ones they are or replace them with Advanced Reinforced from time to time to keep the defense up as those give about +27 def per mod. Doing all this will make it so you wont have as high as an absorb rating as the gear intends us too, but it will give us a higher shield rating and defense rating than the gear intends us to

Has anyone looked at the Columni Gear? It is kind of ****** unless we are looking in the wrong direction. It leaves you with a defense rating of 243. My current def rating is 402 and I have a 27.12% def. Next it will leave you with a Shield Absorb of 245. But it gives +0 shield rating throughout the entire set of Columni so with dark ward always up and the set bonus's from the armor you will have a shield rating of 31% and having high Absorb rate doesn't mean much if you don't have a decent shield rating. Does anyone else feel like our raid gear is a rip off? Cause this is well below to 700 rating we are all trying to reach. Now of course we can alter our gear but something feels wrong about removing level 56 mods and enchacements for level 51 mods and ench's Maybe I am missing something and I hope I am but my just regular level 50-51 gear seems better than this raid gear. I have tanked every HM in the game with relative ease with the gear I have. I am worried when I switch to raid gear is gonna make it worse I am sure there will be some mix and matching of gear and stuff but right now I am a little upset by our raid gear.

Removed my post, after reading some of the current updates they addressed some of the concerns I had. Great post man keep it up

I have two relics I got them from either Treasure hunting or Arch can't ever remember what crew mission I get them from and one gives +19 End the other +12 End all times as well as one increases shield chance and shield rate for 20 seconds the other increases power for 20 seconds. Both are pretty handy especially the shield on in things like Bloodball

I was having alot of trouble with my Radeon card so I installed a old Geforce 9800 I had laying around and got the 290.36 drivers and it worked miracles. I can play on high with shadows on right now only time I turn it down is on space missions and on low I have hit up to 100 FPS. So these beta drivers make a world of difference or at least they did for me. Best of luck I was about to pull my hair out when I couldn't fix the choppyiness The only problem is, some graphic cards just don't work well with this game, its unfortunate and I am sure Bioware are doing what they can to fix it but there was nothing I could do with my Radeon 5450 that didn't give me a insanely low FPS

So I replaced my old card with a 9800 GT I had laying around from my last comp, and it has fixed all FPS problems. On high with shadows on I maintain around 30-50, oddly enough the times I have my high spikes is during combat. On low I have even managed to hit 100 FPS high spike during space combat. My old card the ATI Radeon 5450 just doesn't work with the game I suppose. Hope everyone can fix there problems I also have the beta drivers for the card.

What is the name of the folder again where you can do this? I had to do it earlier for a game resolution problem

Shadows have been off the whole time. I have done every trick and tip to make the game perform better and yet it hasn't. Keep the ideas coming though I'll try what ever in space missions I am getting as low as 3 FPS

Ya Im hoverin around 10-13 FPS with the occasional spike up to 25 but that is rare, I am aware that sometimes certain graphics cards just don't work well with certain games I am going to try and install another card that I have laying around well keep you guys updated on if it changes anything

So I am having some serious graphic issues, at first it wasn't too bad but I recently just got a new monitor and now even on low the graphics become very choppy especially during space missions (which make them very annoying) Below are my specs 8 Gig System Mem ATI Radeon HD 5450 Graphics card AMD Phenom II X4 945 Processor Drivers are fully updated I have done everything I can to make my computer performance better and yet it is still choppy I am stumped on what to do because as far as I know I should be able to run the game smoothly and yet, I cannot Any help would be greatly appreciated

hard to say really he would a bit of both but theme wise he would be warrior sense he has the dual sabers

*wipes away* Did I get it? Fair enough it comes off that way I am just trying to be respectful and more so show my loyalty. You can agree or disagree but the fans is why companies ultimately do these things and I want to show them what a real fan is like, If i were them I would like to know that more than just a bunch of angry nerds are playing my game. And yes I am a nerd, just not an angry one.

No this is my first post I don' want to wait but I am an adult and don't mind waiting I was never promised earlier access so I won't pout over not getting it
