I would guess about 25% of the time that I use it, it means I don't die and live to fight on. I pop it, use a medpac, then run toward the closest healer/health pickup/corner to hide in. Another 50% of the time I die but live to keep an objective, etc. Its great.

+15% damage, talented to apply a root and +8% more damage, and uninterruptable. I'll be using Ravage a lot more post 1.2.

Predation = good for objectives Point of game = objectives Therefore, predation = point of game Seems pretty straightforward to me.

So, what options are there for moddable vibroblades? I am planning on modding a set in 1.2 just for the novelty, and I'd like to be ready now. Any drops or quests you recommend? The image for this one makes it look awesome, but I have no idea where to get it: http://www.torhead.com/item/6P8fxr1/paramount-freelancers-prototype-vibroblade

"The first companion you unlock of each companion combat archetype (ranged tank, ranged DPS, melee tank, melee DPS, and healer) gives you a unique unlock for that companion type that grants a passive stat bonus." Is the stat bonus for your companion or for you?

Noone knows then? For the sake of customization, I hope they stay in!

Why all the hate? You need to chill. Champion is slightly better than the new Recruit gear. Yes, it has less Expertise, but its a much better balanced set. For some classes, Champion gear has 3k more HP and ~130 Main stat. Why don't you get informed before lashing out for no reason. http://dulfy.net/2012/03/22/pvp-gearing-in-1-2/

Hilarious and true.

I might be one of the only, but I like the look of Centurion and Champion armor far more than Battlemaster for my class (Marauder). In fact, I've been looking forward to the day when I can convert my PvE set to use the Centurion shells - I love the blue! Will there be any way to get the schems for Centurion and Champion armor in 1.2? I know they're planning on removing Centurion and Champion and replacing it with Recruit, but I would still love to have access to the LOOK of Centurion or Champion armor... I just don't like the black! Any ideas on this? Or am I going to have to drop Biochem to RE my PvP armor in the hopes that I get lucky and learn the schematic?

Threads like this are so entertaining. A month ago, people discounted Marauders as being weak and useless. The players that saw their potential didn't touch Carnage or Rage. Now that BW is making Carnage and Rage usable, the forums blow up with "zOMG Marauders are so OP." OP, you have no clue what you're talking about. And to anyone saying Marauders are easy - BW themselves have stated that the class is the most difficult in the game. So, even if they're "easy" for you, its still the hardest class in the game to play. Melee classes are always more difficult, and Marauders require a ton of CD management. I've been playing a Marauder since release. 1.2 includes necessary changes that make two of our previously unusable trees actually worthwhile. Stop QQing and play the game.

I see claims like this everywhere on the forums and it blows me away... in full Rakata, I have nowhere near 20k HP. Are you putting +END mods in your gear or what?

If I had to guess, they aren't wearing PvP armor... Champion has 10 - 20 less strength per piece than Columi (iirc), so you're looking at ~150 less strength when you're in Champion. But you make up for it with a flat +dmg% in expertise. With a combo of Rakata and Champion and the Rakata stim I have about 1690 STR.

The three nodes in Alderaan each shoot different colors. I think they should just make these more prominent... maybe hue the actual turret, node, and platform this color. Then, in mid, put a sign on each side designating which side is which color. In Voidstar, the door on one side should always be one color, and the other side should be another color. Then we're calling colors and not directions that are easily misunderstood. It'll just be a slight learning curve to remember which side is which.

I have a comparable rig and mine has no problems at all. Its on the user's end, not the engine's.

Not a BH, but happy to see they want the class to be more engaging and less faceroll. Good for the game. Keep it up, BW.

If I am in a 2v1, yes, I want to push one away so I can focus one then move onto the next. If I am on the ramps of Huttball, I want to push him into the pit before he can knock me and/or the runner off. If we're crossing the bridge in Voidstar, I want to push the other guy off. There are a million good uses for a force push, even for a dps class.

QFT. PvPers that whine about people getting gear easily are simply bad players. PvP is about skill v skill, not gear v gear. You shouldn't need better gear to win. But, I still think dedicated and successful PvPers should be rewarded, like above. They should have access to different colors, designs, titles, etc - but all purely cosmetic and for prestige. Like a glowing gold aura for WZ rating > x, that has no effect on gameplay, for example.

Well then your Marauder is spec'd wrong. We have a 30% damage reduction from AOE's, way better than anything heavy armor can afford a DPS Jugg. Marauder DPS > Jugg DPS.

I like hops in beer, so that's a 7/10. I'm Maura. Its the name I use in every MMO, and I didn't even realize until a few days in that it was ironically very similar to my AC name (Marauder). Legacy name is Archetype.

They're intention is to force you to spend it. Exactly what the OP is dealing with.

I lol'd.

#5 and 6 are valid, the rest are poor suggestions.
