The op forgot to figure in you get the mats for the belts/bracer back from the re. I had enough to make 3 aug kits last night and ended up crafting 7 from all the returned components.

Defeat is a lie, there is only adversity. Through adversity, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. I will set me free.

I was trying to solo esseles on a low level alt a couple of days ago. A wz popped as I was mid cutscene on the bridge. When I returned from the WZ I was standing on a frozen corpse in space. I could see some of the fleet ships in front of me and there was a floating red instance door that said Sith Warrior phase. I stepped off the floating corpse and fell through space for a while. When I respawned I was on the museum on the Dav Daragon.

In wz's force slow is one of your only instant cast range moves that will interrupt a node capture

The Shadow Runner, an EU PvP server. Peak Times we have 20 people on fleet on the republic side. I queued for 4.5hrs the other day for a wz. When it eventually popped we triple capped on Alderaan as the enemy only had 4 people. I really like this game, but I find it hard to play in its current state.

I'd play on the PTS if it gave me a discount on the main game. I won't pay full price to beta test.... not how I use my leisure time;)

31/8/2 http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#601rcrokrskdsZhGZb.1 I use Survivor gear with redoubt augment, bastion enhancements and robust mods. The idea is to stay alive. Stay alive on a door/node till help arrives, solo attack 3 people defending nodes so your team can cap the rest etc. When waiting for wz's to pop you can solo most pve content with the stealth advantage and a heal companion.

Having spent the last 1.5hrs in a wz queue. I came up with an idea.... How about some wz comms and valour per 30mins of queue time? At least then I can feel like my character is progressing while I watch Game of Thrones and wait....

What about adding a strictly skill-based PvP mode alongside the existing one?

That looks like centurion Force Mystic Armour with the hood down. http://torboard.com/images/republic-pvp-armor/s1/jedi-consular-pvp-sage-centurion-armor-set.jpg

I prefer a 31/7/2 for Kin pvp. Unfortunatley with the new armour set's 1.2 has added its allot harder to build a decent set of gear. Champion headgear had really nice shield rating enhancements that you now have to get warhero gear for. The battlemaster gear doesn't have the stats figured out for proper tank/pvp. Whoever thought a set of tanking gear needs absorbtion rating on every moddable piece but no shield rating (gave accuracy instead) is an arse.

Near the pvp vendors on the fleet is a quest terminal for the champ/bm bags. If you complete your class quests, you will get a bunch of quests on illum. These can be repeated for the daily comms. The Belsavis bonus series can also be repeated for these comms.

Expertise seems fairly useless for a kinetic spec shadow. An extra 14 damage every 4.5sec is not worth the 3 points. I can see the use for left over points on other trees so my idea... Change expertise so that for combat technique it increases the heal done rather than the damage. Simple fix, not massively over powered and will work with battle readiness. I want something on that line to spend points in other than a slightly faster run cooldown.,

As a 50 Shadow tank I use... C2-N2. He heals well enough for my dailies and thats about all I use companions for now. Theran is a better healer but he is busy doing crewskills. Nadia is used exclusivley for diplomacy missions now and as a wardrobe for any stalker gear I pickup as doubles. I think we should have gotten a Padawan when we became a "Master" and had some decision as to them being heal/dd or tank/dd. Even if that choice is made for you based on your own AC (shadows get heal/dd sage get tank/dd).
