All of this is absolutely wrong Up until 6.0 Combat was a good spec for endgame rading, though it began to decline during 5.0 due to several nerfs. Back is 4.0 it was an excellent spec and during 3.0 era it was the second highest parsing spec in game. Regarding the Armor Penetration window, good players never had an issue with keeping uptime and not losing the armor window. Lastly we do know exactly the amout of armor endgame bosses have which is about 35% unless a particular boss has a special mechanic.

Could it be made so that the HyperBuff can only be consumed by Gore/VT/DB

Will combat/carnage be getting some love it is currently the lowest parsing spec in game.

I do think Monolith has too much health for a standard pug compared to other sm ops

I agree with all the above, it is simply dumb for hyperstacks to fall of from using a defensive CD or berserk. It should also not be used by focus building abilities but consumed by VT/Gore/Clashing Blast. Sadly right now Mara is not in a good place pvp wise while Carnage is lagging behind Fury and Anhi in dps.

My biggest complain of the current system is that there are simply way too many tiers of gear and 95% is unmoddable making min/max very difficult and augmenting either something you will do at the end or very expensive. All this is even worst now that set bonuses are in shells instead of armorings. My preferred method of gear is the one we have with Ossus but getting components to buy gear from all types of content not just ad specific set of dailies.

1. Prices are too high 2. Personally I would like it to have everything available always and not some random stuff that changes from week to week. 3. Even though the tool tip on the items he sells says bound to legacy, you cannot place it on legacy storage.

So I used the stim desctruction method and this is what I got: Took me 24k fragments to get full 274 greens non-modable non-min/max (I even put on tank gear just to raise item rating level and move on to the next piece slot) 66K fragments to get full 278 blues non-modable non-min/max. As a marauderl I kept getting gear with tank stats, buying MH/OH was the worst, I kept getting focus/shield/scatter blasters etc. After 96K fragments I gave up trying to see if it would give me any purple items. I only got one blue modable 278 piece at 60k fragments and it had an A mod. Even when in full 278 blues I would still get 270 greens With the galactic renown system as slow as Galactic Command was when it came out I can say this vendor is completely and utterly useless. There is no clear path for getting the gear you need, no way to min-max and literally 99% of the gear is useless.

The massacre tactical is the best one from what I could if you do the rotation right though personally I didn't like the rotation itself since you just sit there spamming massacre. Also as stat curves are right now 1.4gcd is higher dps than 1.3gcd by about 400 dps.

I just did solo Veteran mode Hammer Station with a lvl 50 comp and it was way too easy. I also tried Master mode and after wiping 3 times on the first boss (got it to about 60%) I called it quits. I've solo'ed MM on live several times and I've never wiped on the first boss so I say MM difficulty is fine if not could still use a small buff.

That's basically how its been for a long time now. This days I just look at the math and how much should I be parsing. In the end what trully matters though is whether your are doing good numbers in NiM progression.

I could be wrong but I believe people are using a bug from the guildship perks, but I'm not sure how it works.

welp, I just got booted from the server while playing.

Hi, I'm looking for a guild that does DF sale runs for Wings of the Architect

Do any guilds run sales for Wings on this server, I'm looking to get them on my mara.

Logitech G900 has ambidextrous design.

Carnage is fine and it will continue to be fine after 5.4

Due to DR curve for accuracy formula, an infinite amount of accuracy will only yield 98% OH accuracy including companion buff.

With the way combat works atm almost any guide works for both pvp and pve. There may be a set rotation that you can use on dummy but both in actual bosses and pvp you will always follow the priority list for Precision windows. Gearing is also more similar now more than ever with the removal of expertise, in BIS gear you will simply want to lower accuracy to 105% for pvp and possibly throw it into mastery/power. Utilities are possibly what are going to differ the most but even those change a lot between boss fights and even pvp maps. Vulkk does have a utility section highlighting different needs (mobility vs defense) which is a more practical way than going over every map/boss and telling you what utilities to use.

OK, I'll bite. Is there a particular format you'll like us to post in? Name-Don'Quijote Class-Sentinel Category-Arena Overall Damage-3683006 http://imgur.com/cRc5mla

Both Shadowlands and Ebon Hawk have healthy pvp population.

Soon people will start getting to tier 3 of CXP and get hilt schematics, I would wait a little since eventually the GTN will be flooded with them and prices will drop.

^^^^This

IIRC from when bloody slashes was part of carnage is that every successful melee attack would add one stack, since Ravage has 6 individual attacks 3 MH, 3 OH it was pretty much guaranteed that all stacks would be applied by the MH in pve. First attack would apply one stack and tick, second attack would apply a second stack and tick once more, third attack would add another stack and tick once more at 3 stacks then it would tick an additional 3 times at 3 stacks making it 1-2-3-3-3 ticks or bassically a single 15 stack tick, is this 15 added stacks that the tool tip damage refers to.
