Hi guys, yes, yes, I'm aware that the class is crap, reroll and all that ... but I was wondering with all the talk about alacrity these days (https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/7759os/alacrity_effect_on_gcd_especially_for_classes/, ) what should a Lightning Sorc aim for? Specifically, I'm talking about a char I'm gearing with 230 Armoring and the rest 246 crafted stuff. How high should my alacrity be? Around the 700 breaking point or the higher one with 1860? Crit maximum at about 1900 and the rest in power, correct? Thanks

Thanks, that was very helpful. What utilities should one pick?

Hi guys, I wondered if anyone playing a Jugg Skank Tank could offer some advice with regards to - stats; going with a 230 set. Lethal B mods? But what for Enhancements and Augs? - Opener/rotation There was some discussion about whether sin or jugg work better as a skank tank. Any thoughts on that? Cheers

Is it worth it to switch from lightning to corruption? I'm very frustrated with lightning atm and was wondering whether corruption would be more viable for ops - even with the nerf!?

Has anyone given it a try? Any "first minute" advice for others? Lightning or Madness is the question. (neither is not an option )

Up again, it seems

Can someone look at this parse and tell me what I'm doing wrong, please? For the life of me, I can't get above 8k. I'm at 1702 Crit, 1347 Alacrity, 3354 Power, 6193 Mastery, 756 Accuracy (with stim). Gear is a mix of 240(mostly)/242 with my head piece still being 234. And I realized that I had this "increase crit chance" buff on me when I did the parse, so it's likely to be lower, anyway.

That's what made the Dread Masters so awesome, imho. They really built a story arc which culminated in the ops.

Give us the Yuuzhan Vong. Not that they could really be implemented, but it'd be awesome. Otherwise there's really nothing that could give the game a fresh vibe, imho.

SOONtm. And don't worry. Even though the guy who can do class balancing was on leave, they don't have only one working at class balancing. But they'll keep us updated. #

Hey all, so I have a lvl70 sin and a lvl70 jug as new alts. Both dps, since I have a sin tank. But for the life of me, I can't decide which one of these two I should start to gear, etc. How do these two stack up against each other in terms of Survivability, both in PVE and PVP. And usabilities, too. Thanks

They didn't forget.

Well, yes. WC servers are down due to people having log in issues. There's an explanation two posts below and on twitter and reddit and all that.

Didn't have a problem logging in, but appreciate you being on top of this.

Dunno how many threads have called for a buff by now, but steady wins the race. I am a lightning sorc with BiS on the left side and 240/242 gear/full set bonus. It annoys the hell out of me when I see folks doing 20-30k against me in a wz at times when the maximum amount I've seen for me is 14k normally and 20k once on a completely undergeared enemy. It can't be that we can only dole out half the damage, not when you're T3. So, yes, devs: Please buff sorcs in 5.2. This ain't fun.

I have had one run-in with CS (couldn't log in to my main, because my char was trapped in this stronghold-instance-lockout thing) and got a reply within a day and the issue was solved. Very friendly and reasonably quick. Thumbs up.

This point has been made ad nauseum, but it bears repetition: The current grind is only bearable because of the 350% event. I'm still extremely pissed at all the worthless gear, weapons and stuff I get thrown at me, but the rate of acquiring crates is acceptable atm. Do you really think people will jump for joy if wzs dole out 500 cxp again? And we have very little reason to believe that the adjusted drop rates will make the grind bearable after the event ends.

Thanks, really helps.

Hi, I've come accross this neat little guide on dulfy (http://dulfy.net/2017/01/22/swtor-5-0-darkness-assassin-pve-guide-by-mostly-harmless/) which suggests that you should use the stalker set while being darkness specced. The reasoning is that the survival set provides only little additional survivability, while you get a noticeable dps increase. Thoughts? Viable line of thinking for PvE? And for PVP? Thanks

A guild mate today said that the devs mentioned they'll look at making sorcs viable again come 5.2 Can anyone confirm this?

My pretty much naked Op (seriously, I didn't even have implants) at lvl21 doles out more crit dmg then my tier 3 sorc with BiS in Implants/Earpiece and Relics. That can't be right.

Really? I had the impression that they increased the rate at which you get somewhat usable stuff? I had much less rifles thrown at me as a sorc lately by the crates.

Is there a Crit Cap? Currently, my stats are: Mastery 3285 Power 1650 Crit 2083 Alacrity 1218 Accuracy 228 Anything overly ugly that I should change?

I'll try that out to bolster my crit/ala. Thanks. Will prolly be back for more questions.
