I am sure you are all aware of the problems with selecting utility points after doing a field respecialization, but I also found that sometimes when I do a field respecialization on my powertech going from the advanced prototype discipline to the shield tech discipline my character unlearns the flame burst ability. He has to have someone summon a trainer, or return to the fleet to relearn flame burst. It is quite annoying since flame burst is the goto filler skill in between the other Shield Tech skills. I suspect this has to do with magnetic blast replacing flame burst in the advanced prototype discipline. Later I will post some screenshots.

The entire story seemed contrived just to make something that involved Revan. I think they should not have used him in this expansion. Much of it didn't make a whole lot of sense without "space magic", and it felt bland. I would have liked to see Revan instead involved in a plot to somehow sever the universe from the Force, and having both sides attempt to stop him.

For some reason my client is updating every day after installing swtor unleashed. Is anyone experiencing this? I find it hard to believe we are getting this many updates. This does not seem to matter if I run the client in either retail or swtor unleashed mode.

The damage you do in a warzone is not critical. That said, it can be an indicator of how active you are, how much time you spend dead etc. The best advice I can give you, is to play the objective, try to kill squishy targets first, put damage/cc's on heals whenever you can, and use your defensive cooldowns as much as you can (including medpacks and adrenals). I think you will find that your damage in a match will dramatically increase the longer you stay alive.

I agree with the guy above. Wait a bit and see what people learn about what works best. I read somewhere that most people agree that Intel chips are ideal, but I am not 100% sure.

A couple of nights ago I was happy to just do my dailies on my powertech, but then a gropu of 4 pubs rolled through and killed me. So for the rest of the night I did all of my dailies and slew and pubs that I saw. Granted quite a bit of them were still leveling/or just did not have any pvp gear. So I global-led most of them. It was fun. I had some good fights from a scoundrel, he actually was pvp geared and was handing my *** to me, but I wasn't mad. I just got back up and did my dailies/ganked others. I even had a couple 1v2s. I won one but lost the rest. =) So if you leave me alone, I will likely let you do your dailies, but if I die, you take my node or w/e then I just kill any and everything.

Thanks for all of the constructive replies guys. I was honestly expecting to hear something like "lol l2bubble nub".

Yea I know. I hopefully won't play solo anymore. Just waiting on more of my guildmates to get all of their gear.

I would make it blue, and have it come with augment slots already fitted (no augments in it though).

What utilities are you guys using? I was doing some solo ranked yesterday and I was always being focused and dying very quickly. I always got my force barrier up, but my teams kept failing to kill the enemy scoundrel healer. Is everyone using Corrupted Barrier (2% total hp regen with Static Barrier and force barrier)? Also are we preferring Backlash (Static Barrier blinding when it ends) or Electric Bindings (root after Overload)? I assume everyone is using Emersion (force speed removes root/slows)

PT is pretty fun but get used to being focused. You are an absolute beast when your shoulder cannon is up, but learn to use your def cd's wisely and quickly.

I think its childish and silly. Raging doesn't help you win that wz. Raging doesn't make anything better. I find it especially funny since I came from playing Eve for a long time. This game has things easy compared to Eve. Imagine if upon every death you lose all of your gear and your enemy takes half of it. Dying and failing in a game is part of the process, you learn, adapt, grow, and overcome. If you're teammate is failing, then offer advice instead of raging at them.

I did a couple of matches today after getting fully unranked gear, and I keep getting focused first. What can I do to survive longer? I already know how to LoS and such. What utilities are you guys using? This is primarily focused on playing ranked.

How is your client so smooth in warzones?

Please don't put words in my mouth. I never said I want to nerf Sorc off healing and/or mobility. I think force barrier may be a tad bit OP is all. I was just replying to someone who said that powertechs have better mobility/defenses. Which I agree powertechs are very mobile, but I think sages/sorcs don't have it as bad as he believes.

Fine, but most people do get the masterful talent which breaks roots/slows. It is on a 20 second cooldown. Sorc/sages have decent mobility.

Then lets fix the bug. If it worked properly, it is a significant cooldown.

I see it used wisely. I see Operatives use it and get away behind a pillar and we don't notice. It is counter-able, but it requires some thinking ahead. Force barrier should have a counter in some form or fashion. It presently does not.

I don't play a merc. But I get the jist of what you are saying. I don't want them to take away Force Bubble. I think it is a needed cooldown as you say. Now that you mention it though I think Force Barrier is pretty analagous to the operative/scoundrel cloaking screen. I just wonder if it is a little overpowered. Both sorc/sage and operative/scoundrel healers have a get-out-of-jail-cooldown, but Mercs/Mandos really don't have much. Also sorcs have great mobility. Force speed can be specced to remove roots/snares, and its cd can be brought down to 15 seconds.

It already has a sound effect. It makes a "womp whoosh womp" sound to it. Cast it at the beginning of a warzone, you will hear it.

Do you mean discipline? If that is the case then corruption.

I play a powertech and a corruption sorc. I have to admit that I think Force Bubble is OP. It has such good utility though. It can be used to 'cheat death' and also as a cc breaker. I honestly think there are two options to nerf the ability: 1. Prevent healing through the bubble 2. Grant certain skills of certain classes the ability to break the bubble. It has to be an ability that is a baseline for that class. Something like ravage for juggs/maras and/or carbine burst or something.

Can we please remove the ability to buy ranked warzone commendations with regular warzone commendations. I am not having this problem right now, but I worry I may in the future. Many PvP groups that I have run with in the past have required that you have full ranked gear before running with them, so I honestly tried to go through with the grind by getting regular warzone commendations, and it quickly burned me out. We should get rid of the ability to get ranked warzone commendations to compel people to actually do ranked warzones to acquire the newest gear.

You can still put a lot of hurt on a healer just by being smart. I have killed healers solo on my powertech. Explosive Dart -> Thermal Detonator -> Rail Shot -> Explosive Fuel -> Electrocute -> Rocket Launcher 2x -> Rocket Punch -> Rocket Launcher 2x -> Magnetic Shot -> Rocket Launcher 2x -> Carbonize -> Rocket Launcher 1x -> Energy Burst If nothing, simply by going after a healer you put pressure on him and force him to think about his health over his parties. A healer worried about ccing/peeling/running away from ppl hurting him is a healer who isn't healing. I know because I also play a sorc healer.

Then play your own way and lose. Thank you for your time sir. I have little sympathy for your complaining because you acknowledge that you want to play the game your OWN way but you also feel entitled to win. The two goals are not always reconciliable.
