Well.. It´s not just sent pvp gear that looks crap. Every single set looks half finished, across all classes pve and pvp. This is a growing issue and i´m sure it more then contributes to the faction imbalance across servers. Just look at gunslinger pve sets, their boots have the same graphics as our pvp boots. Their chest model is obtained at lv 20 as a sentinel. I don´t play a gunslinger, i play a sentinel, but the lack in polish across all the sets makes me worried about future gear on the republic side. Something is seriously flawed when i on my sent in the late 20´s actually bought a gunslinger chest piece and modded it to fit with stats to get rid of the hood and poorly made animation ( clipping mainly ) on the robe. So im not even using the gear intended for my class and really get out of my way to achieve something thats not really designed for me, is that right? I´t cant really feel good to be a designer for the republic gear and read all these endless threads, but its a misstake you did at BW, and we are feeling it with the faction imbalance. Just look at imp´s end game sets and then look at emp´s, anyone would agree theres a serious flaw here. This is really the first MMO ( And i have played em all ) that i feel that i choose the wrong faction casue of the GEAR, that sais alot :,(

Well, i really love my sentinel. But i can't say the same for the gear. What bothers me to no end is the clipping effect while running on every single robe for the sentinel class. Sure, the huge butt is annoying, but that's just seen from an angle. The clipping however is seen all the time, and its getting very frustrating. I could however live with it knowing that the endgame gear was any different, it´s not. I´m not 50, but looking in pre-viewer on the PVE sets its just a re-skin of the lowbie robes with different shoulders. Hence the clipping / butt will be there on our " This is what i play several hours / days to finally achieve " gear. Thats not right. And this seems to be a problem not isolated to Jedi Knight, comparing sets between republic and Empire it feels like Empire got the more polished sets, overall. And it seems to be the general opinion that empire " looks cooler ", yet i find Republic abilities to be on the cooler side, but that don't really matter when the toon dishing them out feels abit unpolished. TL;DR: Fix the clipping on our robes! Fix the big butts! Make some new models for the robes not just re-skin! Just my thoughts on the matter. -fiddesoder-

Yeah, that sounds fair 2 easily moved points

Hey guys First time poster, long time reader here. First off i gotta say i love the BH class, though im not 50 ( currently 47 ) yet i have tried all three speccs to some extent and i think that Bodyguard is where im gonna land at 50 pvp. So, i had a new little idea when reading Verdans hybrid specc. What i didnt like about that specc was the " wasted " talents into different cylinders and i came up with a build that only utilize power shot, the shield when used, heat reduce, less interrupt and also grabbing +range on jetboost and KB on the punch. In my mind taking TM aint worth it for a heavy BG hybrid, but beeing able to cast free powershots while supercharged gas is active ( which aint that hard to achieve ) and beeing immune to setback with the shield up looked like a great idea to me I´ve been trying this specc in a few WZ´s and i like it, alot But im not 50, so that might change heres the build: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#300rfRMRzcdzZMIkbMZb.1 So, thoughts? Happy hunting!
