The modules should be used at the right time during each mission. For example, using the EW pod when entering the minefield (you know which one) and then blowing EMP when close enough to damage the frigate while also taking out the rest of the mines. You should also be constanstantly toggling the power conversion module. Always in attack mode when firing cannons and in defense mode when not (unless shields are already full). I find the difficulty just right with Grade 7 gear with some missions such as the escort one being particularly easy. Keep at it, the missions get easier when you get used to when certain 'events' occur.

Here's a cut out of my UI showing main abilities quickbars. If you have a mouse wheel like me you can bind wheel up, wheel click and wheel down to abilities. http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o318/s3081609/SWTOR/ShadowUI_zps06ddbd96.png

To be fair, in the first Vig parse I forgot to switch back to Shien which explains the 1500 and in both parses, I'm still equipted with Focus optimized gear (high surge/low crit). I feel that Vig is still be slightly above Focus on single target but it's at the mercy of RNG (Zen Strike) whereas Focus is much more consistent. On the bright side for Vig users, according to data-mined info for 1.7, Focus is getting a big nerf (in the way of sweep/smash super crit damage reduction) and Vig getting buffs such as Dispatch at above 30% target health. Looking forward to seeing how the buffed Vig turns out.

Switched out all my mods for 63 power mods and bumped up to 1860 over 5 minutes now. Also using energy proc relic instead of elemental because of ArPen in focus tree. Slash is also an important part of the rotation but Noxxix leaves that out. http://www.torparse.com/a/120789

I'm not getting 1900... 10 min parse was little over 1800 and 4 min parse was 1880. I think full 63 might be able to pass 1900, maybe push 2000 so that should put focus just behind vig for single target.

So I finally made the leap of faith after reading some of the threads here and dropped Vigilence for Focus (doing purely pve content). I'm finding that I'm parsing pretty much the same as I was I using vig on single targets and bosses but fights with multiple targets and dailies are finishing much quicker. Just thought I share my parses, not the best in the world but I think it's definitely proof that Focus pve is viable. http://www.torparse.com/a/112031 Link to armory (mostly 61 gear with 63 hilt and offhand): http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/c6476b52-f6b9-4601-8e1b-7d3e64151f26

I've read a few threads of late that suggest maximizing Vig dps is done by keeping all three of our burns ticking with two of these coming from PB and OS (even at a higher priority than MS). The way I've been prioritizing is by always using MS if it's available because both PB and OS can finish the cooldown on MS. The question I have now is, if MS is available, should I prioritize it first even if the burns from PB and OS aren't ticking on the target?

Bump because I want to modify my characters' appearances too. Will pay $$ to do it. Vanity items and customizations are a good way for BW to make money and don't give anyone an advantage in the game.

+1 for replaying cut scenes. You should post this in the suggestions forum.

Thanks for the feedback. Should probably have mentioned that I'm a pve healer.

Hi folks, So I'm not 100% sure how we're supposed to be healing post patch. I'm running with this build at the moment and trying to use a similar rotation as before (Armor->Rejuv->Trance/Deliverance) for standard situations. Is there a better way of doing it?

^This.

I get the feeling they are 'encouraging' people to use orange modable armor since we will be able to strip the mods and bonuses from end-game gear come 1.2.

I'm mixing and matching different mods in in my armor and I'm trying to prioritize stats. Since both willpower and power have the benefit of non-diminishing returns, is there a ratio for helping pick which mod to use? (Assuming I'm crit and surge 'capped'). e.g. 2 power is worth 1 willpower I'm a 31/7/3 PVE Seer if that factors in at all.

At that point he would have realized that Palpatine had played everyone himself included from the beginning. Of course there was no turning back after helping Palpatine kill Windu and all.

I'm going to work on my Guardian and only do dailies on my Seer. I'll be back when 31/x/x Seers get some love.

I use the Force Magister's set minus head slot.

So what does this skill do after 1.2? At the moment it removes the both health cost and Force Regeneration reduction of Noble Sacrifice. By removing the health cost component am I to understand that this tier 6 skill does nothing but remove the force regeneration reduction of NS?

Yes, you should have one. Doesn't matter if it's the phone app or physical key. 2-step authentication is essential these days, I use it for other important things such as banking, paypal and Gmail.

At the time of the prequels, the age limit for first becoming a Padawan was 13. Obi-Wan became a Padawan just before his 13th birthday and became a full Jedi Knight at 25. I don't think there is a limit of how long you can be a Padawan for so I suppose you could be one for the rest of your life.

In the game? No, I'm always happy with my decisions. IRL? All the time. Guess I'm a wiser person in the virtual world.

We haven't had a chance to see Satele in action since she became grand master. Judging by the progress she's made through the trailers and the Threat Of Peace comic, she's probably somewhere on par with what Yoda was in the prequel films.

Credits are really easy to make at 50. I do the 'Impossible Run' space battle over and over. It rewards 12k credits every 8 minutes so that's 90k every hour. I also stomp through dailies when my friend is online.

That's actually a Jedi Knight robe with a different color palette.
