Thanks for the advice, I'm just about to hit 16K health, respec and actually start doing damage!

I tried the suggested stats, but got wrecked repeatedly for having around 13-14k health. What health level should i start at? 16k? 17k?

For madness, would you recommend the same procedure surge/crit/gear wise?

Is bonus force power the one that pops up in brackets when you hover over melee damage bonus?

So would you suggest that I stay in Darkness until I can afford those 4 BM Stalker sets?

So, I've played a Darkness Assassin since release and have full BM pvp survivor gear, but wanted to switch into DPS (preferably deception) for PvP, and I was wondering what gear to use. Do I wait until I have collected BM stalker gear before re-specing? Can I use a mixture of my old Centurion Stalker gear with the recruit stalker gear, or even use my current tank pvp gear? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Ah ok, thanks.

At the moment, I have a mixture of battlemaster survivor pvp gear and recruit survivor gear; my health totals out at about 16K. In order to get better gear, I need to do HM flashpoints so I can get the new commendations and such... However, my gear isn't at a high enough level for me to be able to tank properly, and I let the group down at high tier FPs, so I can't get what's needed to become better and actually tank well. What is the solution to this? Get full battlemaster survivor gear (whatever the total health on that is..?)? Please help.

I have that problem too; red writing comes up on the screen saying "you must complete more missions before you can do that quest"... Does this mean I have to go back to all the bonus missions I never did?
