This may be a little off-topic, but I was just looking through preferences and could not find a current option to put a countdown on dots? I'm going to feel retarded if I've been running this whole time with a way to monitor my dots and not using it. Would someone be kind enough to enlighten me on where this setting is?

Thanks much for the heads up. In a glance at the thread I didn't anything about hybrid? I'm guessing the 2 pure builds outstrip hybrid by so much, that it isn't relevant?

Does anyone know of a new, updated website with a pve dps compendium? I used to use swtor mechanics, but they haven't updated since 1.7 as far as I can see. I'm looking for builds (pure and hybrid), rotations/priorities and BIS guides. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

ya I played a little last night and was hoping to get the advanced crew skills, no dice! lol

So for those of us who slacked and didn't pre-order before Jan. 7, do we get everything but Makeb tomorrow?

So, does anyone have a line on a new Madness build for 2.0? Sorry if this has been discussed before. I just looked at a few threads and I've only found hybrid builds. Thanks in advance for any help.

Large zombie wampa.....a zwampa!

Are we assuming the ops boss is the ginormous Wampa in the pic/vid?

If, in the expansion, we get five more levels and presumably five more talent points will Madness spec. be able to train up the Lighting tree to get Chain Lightning back? If this is the case, will it be a viable spec.?

1. Dot Monitor/Differentiation 2. Incentive for random pvp (even on pve servers)/city/base attacks 3. Dual Spec. First: I'm sure someone already posted these (I didn't read all 101 pages), sorry i repeated. Second: You guys have a great game here, but you have to listen to your players more. Interact with them, maybe have some in-game GMs. Don't be the general who sits in his office all the time, be the First Sergeant who gets down in the trenches with his troops. Lead from the front, not the rear. Third: If something is wrong with the game, let the players know (ahead of time if possible) and if you know, let them know you know. Respond and keep responding, put the players at ease. P.S. Sorry for the military terminology and thank you guys for all your hard work

I don't know if this has been posted already, but I would like see some way to either: differentiate my dots from the 10 other dots/debuffs, or eliminate all but my dots on the mob frame. This would simplify dot management, I think.

I love this idea! It sounds like a lot of fun for a long time. I don't know if anyone suggested it already, but you could throw this up on the suggestion box forum. hat might get BW attention, and if that doesn't work just go into customer service in your account and send them an email with that suggestion, basically keep 'poking them with a stick' until they acknowledge it.

Today I RE'd a pair of Black Hole boots and only got a lost artifact fragment from it. Aren't the mats from reverse engineering tied to the item lvl? I know their random but shouldn't it random within a certain lvl of mats i.e. reverse engineer black hole gear, get grade crafting mats? Any help/insight into this would be greatly appreciated b/c I don't want to even take the chance of re'ing bh gear if I'm going to get low lvl mats for it.

Up until about a week ago I might have agreed with you on some changing of LI. I had cleared it a couple times in the past, but was just having a string of wipes on LR-5, this was all pugs mind you, and I was ready to give up and not even try it anymore. Then I lucked out and got into a pug and everything just fell into place. We had an Assassin tank, OP healer, and 2 Sorc. DPS. We had no VC and we're all from different guilds, but we 2 shotted LR-5 and 1 shotted the others. This week we did the whole run in about 30 minutes and we're in similar gear as you. I guess my point is this: Don't try to call for a nerf or adjustment, but keep at it. Read/watch strats and I promise you will get there, and just like others have said in this thread you'll look back at this and wonder why you ever even uttered the word 'Adjustment'. Good Luck to you

I like this idea, or something being able to watch your whole class story almost like the cinematic movies they had (Hope, Deceived). I thought of this a while back because I did like the story but after a while I started to forget parts lol and now after being 50 for months and months, I've forgotten most of it. (Horrible memory)

Would it be possible to add in a Legacy perk that reduces Field re-spec cost? Make it like 3 tiers....10%, 20%, 30%....then it will be in line with the mod ripping cost reduction

Ya I know but, I'm at around 76% ish surge so that should be enough to draw that 2.8K crit.

I think that's where I'm at with OP buff and a Prototype stim, but our Operative is MIA atm so I may have to wait till he gets back to see a 2.8K crit from shock lol. And it may be a moot point anyway, b/c I think I've just been re-assigned to heals lol

I like the sound of that Onaga. What kind of Crit chance are we talking tho? 30-35%?

Ahhh, that may be it. I will try that and I really have to start paying attention to these builds when I respec and not just blindly put points in lol. Ty guys for all the help/comments. I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

And then tonight I switched to heals to try to help down a boss, and went oof mos riki tic lol. And before when I when I was 1/12/28 I would run out as well.

http://knotor.com/skills#AgcDHwfLETVBS1FpcoKJkpqhqrLS27rL2gAA Here's the link to the build. I took it from SWTOR Mechanics site, DPS Compendium thread. And no, I hardly ever bubble, I mean sometimes if I need an 'oh ****' ability but other than that I'm usually too tunnel visioned.

Could it be my stats? WP:1998 Crit:34% Surge: 74% Regen:8.0 Alacrity: 7%

Every once in a great while I throw a shock but nothing that should effect force. I was thinking it was too much LS spam?

I'm probably not doing it exactly I'm supposed to but it's something like this: Aff, TB, CD, LS until LB or Lightning Storm proc then FL or CL respectively, after that alot of LS spam and whatever is not on cooldown. Like I said it's not pretty lol
