DPS Jugs are great for killing yard trash, and being mildly annoying in pvp.. that's about it.
-
Don't you dare take away my griefing skill lol
-
For Operation Bosses (and Single Target Damage in general): Energized Blade Tactical
For AoE Damage: Flame Detonation Tactical
My Tactics guy has both and switches them between fights. When he remembers. :-(
Who uses energized blades over powerlode?
-
Can't confirm this myself, because I don't have the set yet, but I've seen dudes from Theorycrafters discord were complaining about the same issue. Seems like PT's get the self-heals and VG's don't and I really hope that it is working as intended for Powertechs and not for VG's.
looks like it's fixed in today's patch.

im after opinions on what is better for end game content including pvp, jugg or marauder?
having trouble deciding :-)
Mara dps by a long shot.

True, I think people responsible for the current PT need to stop putting more things into left hand wrist because it looks ridiculous for a long time... Weapons. Cyborgs. Droids. Ergonomic chairs. Electromagnetic anti-gravity howitzers. What else they will put into this wrist gadget thing?! Heat Blast once used this fancy blaster shot animation(cowboy style, from the hip) they should return to it. Another skill that could use this animation is rail shot. After changing projectile flame burst could be changed to use pistol(since there are searing wave and flame sweep that already use flamethrower). There are many options to fix this issue... Knowing how devs are working on this game I expect soon pistol will be removed completely and they add another stat stick(wrist cannon proficiency or something).
I doubt it.. redoing animations and creating an entire new weapon I just don't see happening. Each faction has their one special weapon (trooper cannon, sniper sniper). And with The Mandalorian being the new norm.. his pistol does nothing but shoot.
-
Hrm, I can't offer any help.. mine hits harder than any of my other skills. The only problem I have with it is I'll blast a crowd and only 2 guys will get hit. And in PVP it's worthless, you can blast a guy in the face and it will act like he's not even there.. been like that for yeaaaarrrrsss.

nope i wasnt able to reproduce that... its simple if you have any stack when entering an instance it will not consume the stack but will only deal 1 stack dmg it has nothing to do with power yield / powerlode
picture 1 entering combat with 4 stacks hitting power yield instantly -> stack consumed everything normal
picture 2 entering the instance with 1 stack. stacking to 4 stacks not hitting power yield -> no stack consumption 1 stack damage
here picture 3 not using powerlode -> same result like in picture 2 but without auto crit
Ahhhh that makes sense. I did dxun the other day and on Red I built my stacks, chucked a 'nade, jumped in, blade, misskeyed energy burst so it didn't fire, uppercut, power yield, bugged energy burst. Happens on this fight constantly. So maybe multiple coding issues? Yours makes the most sense though.
-
thats not true, power yield has nothing to do with it
It's not power yield. It's the Powerlode tactical.
"Increases Energy Burst critical chance by 100%. Power Yield instantly builds 4 Energy Lodes and getting critically hit while under Power Yield builds an Energy Lode. "
If you already 4 stacks of Energy Lode, you enter combat, and hit Power Yield w/o expending those Energy Lodes (which triggers the tactical to give you 4 stacks of Energy Lode, which you already have), and then try to Energy Burst, it'll bug out.
I've tested it multiple times.
-
It's mildly ridiculous. I've been stuck at 5 pieces of EP for well over 5 months now, spending over 30k frags a week at Kai, and running Dxun. Have only seen EP drop twice (both in HM Dxun) and they were both chest pieces
-
I just use second contract for the double grapple, because oil fire is busted, and I've never been at a loss for heat screens, so those two are worthless
-
I have seen every single set piece drop off of ops and fps and Kai.. I have only ever seen EP in Dxun and from Kai unique items purchases. This has to be a coding issue they are not addressing.
There are "Dxun only" sets for each class, but it seems only EP is truely "Dxun only"
-
If you have full 4 stacks, and hit Power Yield (which gives you full stacks with the tactical) it bugs out like this. Just click off the stacks, and rebuild them as normal, no need to swich zones or anything like that.
-
Maybe because it's dropping only in Dxun and is only obtainable through random unique item from Kai. I've personally poured around 400k tech fragments to Kai until I got my full set bonus.
That's what I said. The problem seems to be that every other "dxun only" set DOES randomly pop in other flashpoints, and show up for purchase on Kai. Emergency power has never once dropped on any dxun run i've ever done. It has also never been for sale on Kai. Every other set has.
-
My issue is this.. In all the time since that set went live.. I have NEVER seen a single piece drop from countless ops, including plenty of DXUN. I have NEVER seen a single piece for sale on Kai Zykken. The only way I have ever gotten one is from a random item buy from Kai. I have multiple sets of every other armor in the game, via drops and buying from Kai, except Emergency Power. You wouldn't even know it existed if they didn't tell you it did, or you won the lotto and got a piece randomly from Kai.

Hey folks,
Aside from the Kai Zykken vendor, there is also another vendor where you can spend tech fragments which is located in the supplies section of the fleet. This vendor will allow you to roll items for a specific slot. Let us know your thoughts:
- Do you understand what you are getting when you roll on an item?
-Yes, a random "grade" of that item, R-3, R-19, etc, equivalent to my current overall item level. - How do you feel about the pricing of items?
-I think it's just fine. - Do you feel like rolling on these item slots is valuable?
-Yes. To me, this vendor is for "end game" use only. It's a way to get "best in slot" item modifications, and allows tech fragments to continue to have value after all set pieces are obtained.
Additionally, it is a way to help expedite item level advancement outside of relying on only random drops from missions/renown/FPs. It is not designed (at least I hope not) to be the primary way to equip a character, but rather supplement the process. I think it works perfectly.
Thanks

Kai Zykken on the other hand can eat @#$)*.
- Do you understand what you are getting when you roll on an item?
-
I waste them on random enhancements for a chance to get the BiS ones. The rate is like 1 in every 30k tech frags
This is what you should be doing.

As the total says. Please make the old set bonus gear work at lvl 75.
It’s been 7 months now since 6.0 was released and I dare say anyone whose been playing since then is close to geared up with multiple sets. So there is no longer a reason to restrict those old gear sets to being used at lvl 75.
won't happen. The set bonuses on pre 75 gear are WORLDS better than the new stuff. Nobody would bother with the new stuff.

So lately im often in groups where some melee guy/girl keep run around the target (usually a boss but sometimes even normal adds) while attacking...and im getting a little confused
From what i can see on myself, that actually is totally useless, enemies hit you anyway so you are only doing a giant effort for nothing.
I was in a meridian FP, at droid boss, the one without walker, and the tank was moving madman mode and caused couple of wipe cause the healer spent more time runnig around to get the tank in range then actually healing. When we say to the guy to stay still, of course avoiding aoes, we easily won.
So pve wise it seems not worting the fingerjob required.
Is that some use coming from pvp where actually moving around a melee enemy to stay out of his range can in some situation work or this people is simply mad?
I hope the latter cause im not really willing to become one fo them to stay alive in pve contents.
I've seen a lot of this in pugs also. Causing the boss to cleave the party, backstabby types can't properly dps because they can't reliably hit the rear of a boss. I've stopped even mentioning it, because the typical response is "it's fun for me," which I don't believe for a second. It's trolling.
-
I'm pretty sure that The Mandalorian, and Fallen Order are the main reasons for the influx of new characters. I can say that unargueably FO brought me back.
That tied with 2x exp makes for a welcoming environment for new players.
-
No, they added more options for people who don't like the same thing as you. You can still do the content you love, while others do the content they love. Is some of the CQ points earned differently, yes, does it change how you can play, no.
The only people that will really lose out in this is the mat sellers, because with more people earning mats, the prices might come down.
They made it casual as eff.. that's the end of the story. If your guild has an assload of players, you win, end of story. I can conquest cap 20 players in a week playing only 20 minutes a day.
Here's the thing.. it's good. 90% of the player base are filthy casuals and rp'rs.. sure, we all hate em.. but they are what keeps the game alive. Make it easy for them so they stick around, and keep subbing. Nobody thinks (anymore) that having your guild on the top 10 means you are a ****** guild. It just means that the little guys can get more SRMs without paying thru the nose. BFD.

All you people ************ about conquest rewards sucking, sure did bust your asses doing boring *** KP farming for HOURS on end to get it.

With so many people stuck at home, there's plenty of time to play and not need 2x xp. What they SHOULD do, is 2x xp after this whole mess is over so "essential" workers don't have to feel like they are missing out on anything.
