  1. if you put DPS Armorings and Tanking Mods and Enhancements in her armor Treek does pretty good DPS while still tanking well. As far as HK goes, he is the best DPS pet hands down. No other Companion can hold a candle to his single target damage. I do wish he had better AoE damage, but we cant have everything I guess lol

     

    There are a few companions who will output more overall damage than HK because of AoE, but in general you probably don't want companions to be doing AoE in a FP or OP if you're duo'ing them, or doing them undermanned.

  2. Nope, the HK quest chain was always the way it is now. You only had to do one part of the quest chain on the other faction to unlock him for your whole legacy. Once you unlocked him on any character, he was buyable for all of them, on both factions
  3. I've said it before, I'll say it again 'Fidiots are sooooo cute' :p Why would I even care if they give something away 5 or 6 months after I bought it? the people I feel sorry for are the ones who got it 1 or 2 weeks before the 'refund' date. They didn't get a lot of use for their money, and wont be getting the 1050 cc compensation. *shrug*

     

    I watched that chick on gamebreakertv rant an rage about it, and had to sit and laugh at her. I'll admit, the wording on the post could have been written a tad better than it was, but in the end, anyone with a 6th grade reading level should have been able to figure out they were just refunding the people who bought the dlc within 30 days, as ANY retail sales store would do. In the end, it's a whole lot of interwebz rage over minutia.

  4. Some people don't understand tactics period. They think that soft target Ranged DPS types are supposed to stand there and go toe to toe with them or you're a cheater, fail, wimp, p*8&^, BAD, or whatever other derogatory pejorative they plan to use to say you're not as good as them because you didn't fight the way they thought you should have(so they could win of course).

     

    I've actually had someone swap from one faction to the other just to tell me I'm a cheating suckfest b**** because I had to use a class CD to kill them. This was on my 53 Op, s/he was playing a 55 Vanguard. I was doing a quest and s/he came in while I was fighting a small group of mobs and jumped me. So, I hit heroic moment and used 3 of my legacy abilities to kill the group of mobies and also do some damage to him. I then did a normal rotation and slowed him, as my health got to about 30% I stealthed, moved about 15 yards away and hit orbital strike, then dumped the other 2 heroic moment abilities I had left and managed to kill the person.

     

    Their complaint wasn't that I used 5 heroic moment abilities to beat them, but that I used my classes combat stealth ability to get an orbital strike off on them while they were slowed lol Forget the fact s/he was 55 to my 53, or that I was being attacked by a group of 3 mobs, but I'm NOT supposed to use a class ability to fight them all? lol fidiots are so cute sometimes :)

  5. Don't know what you're smoking, but there is no possible way of getting

     

    30% Defense

    40% Shield

    and 30% absorb all bundled together in Underworld tier, even Kell Dragon can't hit those numbers.

     

    Anyways, they're the numbers I run, works for me. Boils down to opinion and comfort at the end of the day. So long as it keeps me alive, I couldn't care less. But just to further prove, here's a screenshot a tank in full Kell Dragon, his stats are dancing around where mine are.

    Ummm, we're talking about two different numbers it looks like.

     

    I'm talking about defensive point allocation. If you have 5000 Defense points, they should be spent in an allocation spread of Defense: 30.5%, Shield: 36.5% Absorb: 33%. Not talking about the chance numbers or absb rating. It looks like you were talking displayed numbers. When I looked at your posted percentages, with the previous posts reference to ratings numbers, I thought you were talking about the spread, and not chance.

     

    My number are actually right, but then, so are yours :)

  6. Defense: 20%

    Shield: 40%

    Absorb: 30%

     

    That's what I and other Juggs on my server run for NiM Content.

     

    don't you mean?

    Defense: 30%

    Shield: 40%

    Absorb: 30%

     

    your numbers leave 10% floating in subspace :)

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    at the 5000 level youre looking at a ratio of:

    Defense: 30.5%

    Shield: 36.5%

    Absorb: 33%

     

    for optimal point distribution.(according to KeyboardNinja's numbers )

     

    At 3500 defense points, the numbers are:

    Defense: 35%

    Shield: 36.5%

    Absorb: 28%

     

    At 1000 defense points, the numbers are:

    Defense: 63.5%

    Shield: 36.5%

    Absorb: 0%

     

    My percentage numbers are fractions off, but close enough that if you use them you'll be fine, just not point optimal.

  7. I somehow HIGHLY doubt they would give away 55 gear. I'm still surprised they gave away the 50 gear for HK -- but you HAD to be ~50 to get him, so a tad different I suppose.

     

    I think, since there were two sets of armor. One sould have been 10, and the other 50. so people just starting have their set, and the 55's have if not the best, at least viable armor on a new companion(which all other companions come with).

  8. 1.) We knew Treek would come with lvl 10 gear BEFORE the patch even launched.

    Maybe You knew. I know a bunch of people who didn't.

     

    2.) Two sets of lvl 10 gear, probably because Treek fills multiple roles.

    Nope, sorry. She came with two sets of identical gear. Same stats on both sets

  9. Okay, so I buy Treek, she came with lvl 10 armor on. No big, I got an armor pack with her also. so I open it up and, you guessed it, more lvl 10 armor :( so my lvl 55 Jugg is sitting here with a useless companion until I spend about 5 million credits to outfit her, or I wait for the few weeks it'll take me to gather up the needed comms to buy lvl 55 mods to put in her gear?

     

    More flashbacks to HK-51 and his armor bugs from when he came with no armor for some people (me being one) and having a useless lvl 50 companion until I could outfit him in lvl 50 gear.

  10. One more thing I'd like to add is that when everyone on the team is at low-ish health, it's ok for the dps capable of healing to help out the healer. Not saying the dps has to be healing constantly, but if both your tank and healer is getting pounded , you should give them a hand.

     

    most low level flash points up to around level 40 you can run with 4 DPS if they know what theyre doing. its those post 40, and mostly the 50+ that are the problem.

  11. Yea, because you cant have gear for both roles and be able to respect once the queue pops..... oh wait.

     

    If this was actually happening, then it wouldn't be an issue. The problem is, they DON'T have the correct gear, or field respec, and force everyone to wait on a proper tank/healer, or leave and re-queue.

  12. -------------------------------------------------------------

    What species would you like to be? Sith

     

    Where would you live? on my ship

     

    What would be your occupation? Dark Lord of the Sith

     

    Would you be force sensitive? and if so, would you be jedi or sith? Sith, obviously :p

     

    Additional Information? I have this character as my main already. Would love the chance to play it for real. I think she is probably my favorite character in the game. Im not as much a fan of the Jugg overall, but this character, yes.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

  13. If he mostly plays his tank then he wouldn't see many other tanks.

     

    As far as guarding. Generally when I first get in I guard the healer and I see how things go with the DPS. Looking at how good someones gear is not worth it since gear is not really an indicator of who is going to put out more DPS.

     

    ^^^^^ This. I generally guard the healer for the first two or three pulls. If one of the DPS grabs agro Ill swap to that DPS instead of the healer. If neither do, I keep the healer guarded.

  14. Honestly, my biggest problem with FP queues is idiot DPS queuing as tanks/heals for the timer. I tried 4 different times yesterday to get my daily/weekly done and had the same **** happen each time. Some random ******* popping in an saying, oh Im listed as a tank, but Im really DPS, I queued as a tank so I didn’t have to wait an hour or two.

     

    I have no problems with a tank queuing as DPS really. Yea, they might not be the best DPS ever, but at least they CAN perform the role somewhat. A DPS as a tank is a waste of a slot period. The System should lock you in to the role your tree points say you’re performing. Have 30+ points in a DPS tree, you’re only allowed to queue as DPS period. Same for Healing and Tanking.

  15. Unless you mean the barrel in the Knife is bound to Knifes only, I'm pretty sure your wrong, both Gunslingers and Mercs use off hand blasters and the legacy blasters work in both main and off hands, you should still be able to put the barrel from the knife into a legacy blaster unless of course its like I said above that the barrel is linked ONLY to knives.. If it doesnt work then Bioware just made all Legacy blasters main hand only... thats gonna piss off a lot of Gunslingers and Mercs

     

    Have you even tried it yet?

     

    Yes, the knife barrel is bound to knives, and since Republicans dont get knives, there is no legacy weapon to move from Imp side to republic. Thats the problem he is talking about. I doubt its favoritism like someone said, or intentional malice, but just an oversight by the Devs.

     

    Im hoping they remove the stupid slot restrictions, they're annoying in the extreme. Also, I think its silly to expect someone to have to grind out an opposite faction character to equip a companions mods.

  16. Why?

     

    Sure the view of the back is nicer, but how can you relate?

     

    When I started playing MMO's back in 2000 my dad wouldn't let me roll a chick cause '"I was 14 at the time"' he was afraid I'd be harassed and propositioned more than I'd be able to enjoy playing the game Asherons Call. Sad part was, in 2002, when I rolled my first female character, I spent maybe 30 minutes a night for a while just igging guys who PMed sex msgs to me :( luckily it only lasted a lil more than a few days, then I guess they figured out I wouldn't play along, and I was left alone, for the most part. Doesn't happen as much in TOR as it did in WoW thankfully but every now an then, I'll still get one of those out of the blue 'hey baby wana ....' msgs

     

    Every game has fidiots in it, and it's easier to play the way you like and enjoy than let them ruin your fun, so play what makes you happy, chicks playing males, guys playing females, whatever works for you is the 'right' way to play the game. In the end, this is for entertainment, so why should it matter what anyone else is doing with/to their characters, if it doesn't affect your game play?

     

    Since player gender has no bearing in game for other than the person behind the screen, the only thing I can see as an issue is you're one of those guys who gets overly protective/possessive of a female avi in your group, and it cracks your crank that that hot pixilated babe in a brass bra might be a hairy backed dude in a tshirt and unders in a basement somewhere 😄

  17. Predictions:

     

    There will be changes, most often for the better. This will cause much rage and angst on the forums.

     

    New items will be introduced onto the CM that will most likely be recolored sets and NPC sets. This will cause people to start petition threads demanding to be allowed to have this stuff for free.

     

    Some classes will be buffed. Some will be nerfed.

     

    Some bugs will be fixed. This will set new plateaus in social standing. "Back in my day, when we sat down, we just collapsed onto our butts. Not like today and your fancy schmancy taking your time to do it'.

     

    Lastly: The Wookie Mount will be introduced for 2500 CCs. It also doubles as a ranged DPS companion.

     

     

    Really going out on a limb there huh? 😋

     

    I think they will add falling/redemption in 2.1

    Also, alts as companions

    And Guild Capital Ships

     

    One can hope, can't one?😇

  18. The petitions are digital, so you are only saving digital trees, besides most of the trees used where killed by Imperial bombing on Balmorra, so instead of digital paper you would end up with digital mush.

     

    Damn Imps...

     

    'Long Live The Digital Tree' 😋

     

    Where's a wookie when you need one 😞

  19. Seriously Bioware, I thought I was a paying subscriber, then why do I feel like an F2P with all those restrictions around the new content?

     

    What is it, are you afraid that we might get the loot a bit too fast for your own tastes? That maybe we might leave the game once we get all the content, even with 8+ characters? I don't know about the others, but I sure feel myself the urge of quitting because of the current state of "weekly cap".

     

    Not to mention the travel costs now, what is this, you want all ofus to stack on Fleet? Demoralize freshly new players without a lot credits from exploring the Galaxy? GG to whoever came with those "awesome" ideas...

     

     

    Its called gating. They don't want people who're able to play 6-10 hours a day to get so far ahead of the 'casual' players that the 'casuals' fell like they're hitting an insurmountable gear disparity a week into playing, as the new 50's felt when joining a WZ against a group of EWH geared players.

     

    True that disparity will eventually hit no matter what, but it'd be worse a week or two into the dxpac.
