would suggesting that overload shot being augmented to a <30% skill be out of line? always felt that it would be a great finisher skill

hello all as the title says im comming back after a very long hiatus and i come here for some fine tuning. i am currently in the middle of re-reading the dulfy guide (2nd time) but as im the type that likes to draw knowledge from several sources i have come here as well. http://imgur.com/GKaauA3 this is my mara as she currently sits. her armor is currently unaugmented and while is is prolly a fine starting point but i wanna make her all that she can be. she will mostly likely see pvp in the future but for now its pve only. ive tried all 3 specs but carnage will be the 1 im running as i find it the most fun

so is a merc finally in a good place? i remember they were a joke for a long while

well since it seems the 2 classes i had my eye on are lack luster i guess i get to find a new 1 ok so what about a veng jugg or a carnage mara? guess i could try a sniper as well but i suppose what im lookin for is a class that i can go pound on people when i get tired of the other team winning the game of ""hunt the healer"

im normally a healer sorc when i pvp as ive always been a career healer but every now and again the planets align and i feel the need to be a sneaky little backstabber so i ask this question: between the concealment op and the deception sin, which 1 has the better burst? ive been told sins do but Ops have more utility and crazy survivability

thank you all for the info. but to keep this goin a bit how do the 2 compare to each other when doing the same job? node defense and attack that sort of thing? i dont really wanna give up on my op but if the sin does the job and better then so be it.

forgive me if i seem ignorant but im just returning to the game and i havent gotten around to playing my merc yet but im asking this right before i turn in for the night. in terms of healing, off healing in dmg mode in a pvp and pve aspect. i was gonna have my Operative as my main but she doesnt feel quite right dmg wise and in pvp i suck at melee range hence why its down to the sorc and merc. i do remember than even tho a merc wears heavy armor she was rather squishy at times. and sorc now has phase walk to get out of trouble.

ok where to start..... as of writing this i was a rather fond lover of my chiss operative. i loved the off heals the battle rez and the stealth rez all wrapped up with rifles and vibroblades. then 4.0 and even in pve she just didnt hit like she used to so i put her on the back burner and went on hiatus. fast forward several months and i change servers, re-up my sub and log in and start lvling a sith sin. and in 3 days hit 65. this now brings me up to this thread. im a pve sort of guy but every now and again i get a rather large thirst for pvp and i gorge myself on unranked WZs (im nowhere good enough for ranked). so now the question emerges. useing my fav spec of the 2 classes, deception and concealment, how do the 2 stack up against each other? ive read several posts and it looks like the operative is pretty much dead. she can heal yes and has good survivability but hit like a wet noodle. the Sin on the other hand can lay down the hurt and from what ive played has far more pvp utility than the Conc Op (phantom stride, finisher, stuns for days, and phase walk). i speak specifically of the deception and concealment as these tend to be my favs in both pve and pvp and i tried and dont like the other dmg spec they have. im a creep up and stabby stabby diediedie kinda dude. im also slightly curious as to why people in groups dont like deception sins. this genuinely confuses me

ok having hit lvl 60 on 4 differnt chars, (merc, operative, marauder and sorc) i want to take a moment to ask about playing a pvp healer. Personally ive ALWAYS been a better healer than a DPS or a tank. im wondering which 1 of the 3 healers would be the best choice for warzoning. ive done the majority of healin with the sorc so im most comfly with that 1 and ive healed some on the op. dont ask about my healing adventures on the merc i dont wanna talk about it. ive read the dulfy 3.0 guides across all 3 tryin to make a choice but im an indecisive bastard hence why im here asking your help. but i also wanna hear what kind of healer YOU want to be healed by in a WZ (i know i know a good 1 but thats why im here)

tossing in my 2 cents.... as of writing this i shave a 55 mara and a 26 jugg the best dps in my mind is mara. now that being said thats part of the problem in pve. u do such great DPS that u end up tankin almost everything with med armor. personally i found this annoying after a while cuz the tank pets did jack and **** and u dont get them untill lvl 35 ish. id rather have dmg and the heavier armor to back it up.

after trting out many WZs on both a 32 ish sin and a 26 ish operative i seem to having more luck with the op and i find it a little more fun to play (i havnt gotten tired of the giggle and i dont think i will) so i think i found my sneaky ******

alrighty i got it in my head that i wanna be 1 of those really annoyin cloaky wankers in open world and WZs. so to this end i want to make either a sin or an op useing the "pop out of hide and kill" tree i dont much care about tanking or healin i have other chars i can use for that. but i wanna know how the 2 compare. i.e. which 1 does more dmg over all what i have heard is sins are just flat out better than ops in all respects (i hope this isnt true cuz i love the idea of an operative) on a side note what are people mean when they say "parsing"? ive heard this many times but im not entirely sure what it means or i have the wrong idea. and i do apologize as of writing this im fallin asleep at my keyboard. thank you in advance for and and all info

intresting name but id have no idea how pronounce it. still looks like a ****** name 8/10 my warriors name is Darth K'lari Vas'rayya

Blizz i bring that little guy along all the time cuz every thing he does just makes me smile. also if i didn't id prolly come back to a hogtied crew, a pile of ship parts and a very happy jawa sitting on top jumping for joy saying something about a "thingie"

ok so i guess the main question is which is 1 of the strongest chars for pvp? any build that were once useable and are now just useless? ive heard pyro's tank spec are pretty much useless now. i have a MM sniper (36), carnage mara (50), heal sorc (41) and a arsenal merc (44)

hell yes. your targets will be left in a constant state of "the hell happened to my health?"

is this skill just broken? in pve it works fine but in pvp this skill only works like 10% of the time. ive used is when groups are around me and not 1 person was pushed back. used against solo player in close range, nothing. so what gives?

well.... maybe im jusy odd but i used vette till i got jaessa and then used her exclusively till about 45 ish then i switched to broonmark yea i had some tough moment but nothing that i needed to call in outside help with. running annihilation help but i ran carnage 95% of the time so go with whats fun everything else falls into place

when u get the skills to do this battering, gore,massacre, force scream is fun as hell on carnage also force charge, ravage is also a good starting combo regardless of what tree you go

i didnt go the annihilation route i fell in love with the carnage tree. and once you get gore and massacre you DESTROY people can be a little tricky at first but its my favorite tree even in pve

right now im sitting at 670 expertise and i already know this needs much improving on so i ask this about how much expertise to i need to have before i have my "i will murder you if you so much as look at me crossways" damage back? cuz right now im a joke on the battlefield.

ok being new to sniper i have much to learn in pvp how is it you are shooting off 3 SoS in a row? i know target acquired is 1 skill in the rotation but im lost on the others. kinda a moot point asking when 1.3 is going to come out but curiosity always get the better of me. also given that im only a 22 im doing ALOT of guess work on my own but so far for pvp i need to focus on expertise and cunning to maximize damage correct? but if the more experienced of you have any info for the newbie here please put it below. thank you in advance

ok so im returning to starwars after a break and i see we have a new legacy options my question is about the species part when you unlock a new species does it unlock it for that server only or for the entire account? if you were to unlock twileck on jedi side does it unlock on empre side? and most inportantly why is it 1.5 mil to unlock them? all my chars are human

id love some higher lvl boots that go up to the knee and some more ACTUAL pants in medium armor. my mara might be a chick but that skirt thing u try and make me wear just looks stupid
