much respect for infiltration. Prior to respec to infil i was a committed tank, my kinetic/balance hybrid was unstoppable. The damage i put out was incredible and i was rarely beaten in a 1v1. I had never played infiltration, probably because of the number of people saying how pointless it is. Well i tried it, was rubbish died 20 odd times, and specced back after 2 matches. A week later i thought id give it another go, and learn a proper rotation. Now 2 months later, i have no intention of changing it. Absolutely amazing tree, you burn anyone down so fast. It has its weaknesses like every build but you learn to deal with those. And when you do, its certainly not as squishy as people make out. Im very rarely dying more than 5 times, average 25-40 kills.

got to 50 easily now i need guidance with pvp. What is the best spec? i already have a 50 dps shadow and tempted to make guardian into a pvp tank machine. Good idea?? also tempted by vigilance, but is there one spec that stands out atm ??? Also, whichever build you suggest, i need help with the rotation to maximise the damage and defence. thanks PS. what gear set up? current have 1 War leader BM robe

the only hybrid im getting is playing TOR and SWGEMU, perfect balance

star wars galaxies veteran here. Pre cu SWG was on an entirely different level to any MMORPG, Let alone just this game. The crafting was nothing i have ever seen before, the animations were quality, The communities were fantastic. There would be between 15-30 towns on each planet and you could go to the most random out of the way city and still find more players than you get in a TOR war zone. There was no end game, there was always somthing to do, pvp was always a challenge, with actual guild rivalries and a genuine dislike to the opposite faction. However, TOR adopts a different style. It thrives on the storylines, which at the moment is very good. But will eventually get old im sure.

Recently started playing again, and earning some Wz comms.. Before 1.2 i was getting good results with tank gear, but with dps mods. Now of course i have to regrind bm (due to failing to mod back to original state) and im unsure how i should do it. Mostly play tank/balance (cant remember the spec) but i only went up the H shadows in kinetic, rest in balance. However, last few days ive been trying infil for the first time and enjoying. . Can i remod the new bm gear? if i can, what do i mod it with? Thanks alot if you reply, probably noobish question but im just a casual player

can you link me to your spec please. I also run a similar build but could not decide between the extra damage for Double strike (from balance) Or harnessed shadows! also, as it is not a full tank build I am often quite uncertain whether to guard or not. I am completely DPS geared in power(dont have any BM yet) which leaves my health down around 15k but 870 max damage. I die pretty fast if the opponents jump my guard i found myself most useful when im not guarding and playing like a proper dps character. do you think i should gear survivor until i get BM ?

im running this absolute random build at the moment. Completely built for force technique and i seem to be doing decent damage. Much like a hybrid (which i have always enjoyed playing) But can somone see if i have left anything out ?? http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#601RIMs0bszZMzZcMcRr0z.1 dropped kinetic ward and anything to do with combat technique. Instead picked up shadow respite and veil. Give me a bit more burst from stealth. does anyone think shadow sight is work a point or two? for the extra stealth detection. What does this even do ?

I have not seen this in huttball. But i have noticed "teleporting" in both other WZ modes. Most frequent in when i use project, the rocks go up in the air to hit the enemy who in 3m infront, all of a sudden this enement in 30 metres behind fighting somone else. The rocks get frozen in the sky and dont move for a while. Wondering if this is a related issue. like this =

with shadow there is only 2-3 viable builds. What is the main builds for guardian? are there any hybrids?

I have a guardian alt who is level 15, I have a level 50 shadow but in their forum there is many guides which helped me gain an understanding of the class and build. Is there such with guardian ? I want to tank both pve and pvp. Is guardian very good? Also i am confused at my skills.. My shadow has 1 main melee attack, this is double strike. But what ability should i be using for maximum damage. Im sure i will gain better knowlege as i go along.

id like to see a merge between EU and non EU servers. That means there will be players online at all times of day and night!!

is there anywhere i can read exactly what is coming in 1.2 ? i know the basics, such as new abilities and armour changes. But can you link me to somthing more in depth than what is posted on the front page of the site ?

also, is the battlemaster lightsaber (or the post 1.2) moddable ?? if so, i will get expertise saber.

is this definite? if so, i will buy the white. Like you said i would be in an exclusive club and seperate me from everyone else!

I have plenty of credits well over 3mil. My perfect PVE gear, favourite speeder what else is there to do with credits?? the only thing tempting me is the white crystal, but it has the same stats as my current ones and its 2.5 mil!! Perhaps i should just upgrade all my comp gear? I only use theran (who is fully geared) that is when i actually pve. Nowadays its simply flashpoints with guild. This isnt a boasting thread, i genuinly am stumped what to do with credits.

question - why do i glow yellow after using force breach, i thouht it means that i can have a free mind crush ? despite not having the skill

decided to put it in DS first pvp game on alderan hit 340k damage, 49 kills and 0 deaths

http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#601rIrokbskoZZf0cRR.1 this is my build, i tried the typical builds yest (infil, balance, kinetic) but still find myself back to this!! But this time i have dropped instant force lift, it was alot of fun but i feel i can be more of a threat without it. I have 1 point left over and undecided what to go with. Either harnessed shadows to give project 100% to grant it, or get the full 50% damage from double strike in ad junction. Also any opinions on the build would be appreciated!

Might aswell ask here instead of opening a new topic. Im trying to dps as much as possible, currently running kinetic/balance hybrid and do very good damage. This is defiantly my favourite pvp build. However im currently going through a pve phase and running HMs. Isit defiantly balance for dps? or would infil get a look in ?? I currently hit standard hm mobs around 1.5 - 2k with double strike. my dps stats are 700 odd - 872 with buffs.

at the moment, shadow strike is nearly never used, it is a shame as it does good damage. im running a build much like this one below. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#601rcrokdskZZf0cRrMz.1 except i dont have force strike which leaves me 1 point left over. I am dps geared and aiming to be as bursty as possible with that build. At the moment i have that point in nerve wracking but on thinking about it it could prove very useful with shadow respite? I rarely stealth into battle, but a force regen increase may solve the issue with shadow strike and deal a little extra needed damage. Anyone agree with this ? thanks

23/0/18 here, switched from 31/0/10 about a month ago. 23/0/18 is amazing for me also, im dps geared with instant force lift. Which is by far my favourite tool. I am hitting very good damage (not sure how it is compare to everyone else) im not fully geared, But when double strike is hitting 1.3k a time you know life is good. The survivorbility is not much difference to the full kinetic, i dont see any reason why this build isnt considered one of the top. Tried my first HM flashpoint a few days ago, decent off tank but the damage dealing is terrific, out numbered the senital all day long.

Hi this is the first time I have thought about my build properly and attempted to design my own to match my play style. I am a kinetic tank and enjoy the survivability, infil was not good for me. However i feel as a tank i need more damage and tried to alter it slightly. Can someone more knowledgeable take a look at this build and see what could be improved? p.s I am a keen pvp player although do not have full gear yet. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#601MsrokrskrZZfbcod.1 obviously dropped slow time and the natural replacement is force in balance. This appears to do more damage, but to less players. This i see as no problem as it is not often there is 3+ imps grouped in range of slow anyway. Also any extra healing is appreciated! Pinning resolve sounds like fun, and use force stun ALOT. Having 10 second decrease on the cool down sounds attractive, the force lift sounds a bit of fun to. SO hopefully you can understand. Any help would be appreciated!

im in the same boat, looking to move away from the consular and get into knight.. I also am looking to dps however im reading through the guardian pages and there is pictures of consistent 600k damage, is the senital capable of this kind of destruction ??

i also initially thought it was bugged, but it is certainly not. I completed it last night.. The first issue with the elevator door, you must go in to your mission inventory and select the droid on the floor then use an item in your inven (not sure what it is called) this makes the bot and the door blow up.. the force field issue.. There is a switch which releases a maintenance droid. this droid will stop at 2 different places around the room and start spinning with blue lights flashing. Once he does this twice i will then return inside the force field and spin, now you hit your mission inven to make him blow up. easy

Hi i am level 43 kinetic. I am just wondering why i am getting decent "healing" points during war zones. I cant pinpoint the ability which causes this (healing others right ?? ). hopefully somebody can enlighten me
