Well to be fair, have they ever guaranteed a ~1 week response time? The community team already had their crisis for the day(which I find funny because they have said in the past things like this will happen and it's not their job to keep the CM updated on everything), while I'm hoping our answers are nice there's really no point in chancing a bad reaction from us when they already had a crappy day.

Why not go out to tat or ilum? No fun if pubs can't play

Yeah it's not u, it's operative healing at that level. U don't have any energy talents found in the later part of the tree and only expensive heals.

I'm guessin after they eat lunch.

The heal debuff is nice for people hard to kill

Alacrity isn't a wasted stat. Especially on a healer that gets interrupted all the time. Actually in pvp it kinda is, because there is such little impact from alacrity in short fights like pvp and getting .2 off of a cast bar still leaves 1.3 sec to get interrupted, so unless the dps ain't bright u still will be interrupted That being said. Only stacking surge does get pointless eventually as well. Really just a matter of opinion at that point as far as pvp goes. I personally wouldn't take alacrity in pvp for mandos unless I had too or it was talented

Drop snap shot and pick up dampeners. Only difference between snap snot and reg snipe in MM is there's more time between that 1st FT damage and your snipe damage

It's not that we are bad damage per se, it's just not practical to take 2 of the 3 specs because of how they function ya know? SS is good imo, just doesn't live as long as smashers Sab tree falls behind the other 2 major AOE specs just because how drawn out the damage is. Plus flyby won't be simple to use either...

Starting I'd go Sab tree. Got some nice damage and energy buffs. Around 30-32 all specs are pretty much viable, so it's whichever is more appealing, pew pew(sharpshooter), kaboom burn(saboteur), or dot dot ddead(Dirty fighting) All 3 are great and it comes down to a matter of opinion. I love Sab tree because its extremely fun to blow stuff up, while there are plenty of people who stand by SS and DF for all sorts of reasons

At level 31 basically the only question u should have is what way u want things dead Pew pew(MM tree) Kaboom-zap-burn(Engi tree) Dot dot dead(lethality) At level 31 all 3 are pretty strong, altho I'd say engi has more to gain in later talents. Lethality can be a pain if things die too fast, which yes, it is a problem. MM pretty much has all its talents it needs to be sustainable at this point and is a very reliable spec to level in, and it performs exceptionally well in endgame for the amount of skill it takes, so it wouldn't be bad to learn Basically at your level you can choose any of the 3 main specs to play and have little problems. So whichever sounds more appealing go for it! My personal choice is engi, because it is fun as hell when you get all of your AOE

Problem is we needed questions not suggestions. Also the change you suggest is kinda OP. I'd imagine scrapper would have too much TA to know what to do with it

It will never work. The table is full after all

big. Scoundrel's WS is instant with no cooldown and requires/uses UH, while GS's WS is channeled and has a Cooldown. GS is a more fluent rotation while scoundrel's is more managing recourses. I think scoundrel has been found to parse higher but also is more complexish

So how does that work with ground target AOEs?

The old pvp set bonus no longer stacks with the current pve

Your offhand is only going to hit like ~60% of the time I think

As far as sub 55 FPs go yeah it always sucks to get into group finder, especially as dps. Either make friends or as somebody said try to respec to tank or heals. Never a bad thing to learn everything your class has to offer after all

I'm sure most PTs/VGs would trade explosive fuel/battle focus for the ability to be viable in most endgame content Also explosive fuel is only for vanguard/PT. commandos and mercenaries only get 1 insta cast move and 1 free move

Lowbie pvp only gets better as you level. Then ya get to endgame and see how people don't die as fast as they used to...

Looking at the juggernaut questions I think our's are pretty dam good

Judging from pts should we try having a question on how they feel we stand? To me it seems like only 1 spec is truly viable while the others fall due to their design(AOE + dots = bad for CC and long buildups for burst) but I'm not the sole opinion on the matter

Perhaps you are experiencing the offhand hit missing? I don't know offhand(he he) but I don't believe that it is affected by smugglers luck

Nah it ain't so bad. Just do the old dailies allittle. Also that time between lvl 50 and 55 doing FPs in group finder gets ya alot

If you planning on DPSing most of the time go biochem If you are planning on mostly healing then go anything else. Cybertech is awesome for leveling if you can keep the skill up with your level, with an added bonus of also being able to get some stuff for your companions too, should you need to give them allittle gear.

Thanks for doing everything and being awesome!
