But in Ops, you don't revive in the field. That's what this is saying - you get 5 "in the field" revives - do you know how long of a cd that would be on a 5th revival? Frankly, I don't. I've never gone past three.

Only problem with sorc/sage heals is except for one, you have to be stationary, which is frustrating, at times (TFB, last stage of Kephess, our sorc healer can only cast 1 specific heal the entire 10%, while the merc healer carries the majority of heals). HOWEVER, to me, that balances out with getting extricate (especially handy if you PVP, in Huttball), and self heal, no cost, on a 30 second cd, as well as our knockback being no power. My sorc is level 45 currently - when I was duoing, I was specced dps, but when I started to solo, I switched over to a heal spec). I'm having a blast with it, and while keeping Khem up to date on gear, we've handled much that I wouldn't have been able to handle in a dps spec.

No, I don't think Taris is worth saving. It's been too far gone for 300 years.

Okay, first things first - speak for yourself on orbital strike and death from above - both are in my rotations - orbital strike usually only on bosses, but death from above on EVERYTHING.

I've already decided to help Khem. Zash tried to steal my body, and Khem took the blow for me. we've developed a sort of grudging respect for each other. I would have killed Zash if I had the chance at Chapter 1.

yeah, it appears you are on someone else's ship, so if nadia was your current companion, she's just following you, and it's stripped out because you can't control anything.

Wasn't Kit Fisto a Nautalan? And I don't remember him being from the prequels, but I could be wrong.

Also, for companion issue, put them on passive, and move a short distance away. Putting them on passive makes them follow you. Then when they are back to ground, remove passive.

The matching pants dropped for me off a strong yesterday on Hoth out of thin air. No, you can't have them, I like wearing pants.

The problem is that with PTS, that's where people expect the "real" testing to be done. From my understanding, PTS not only doesn't have all the previous little patches, but it's expected to be a stress test. The majority of that testing isn't for bugs, but some that are reported they let through because it takes a long time to find the problem code in the millions of lines of code, and fix it, provided it's not game breaking.

Is madness viable for PVE after 1.4? That's my only question.

Actually, don't even have to use a lot of gifts on Blizz - everything except courting is favorite, so you get bou coup points for it. He was my easiest companion to level up.

The flickering chat issue, as well as a flickering map issue, are isolated, from what I've seen on the forums, to two ATI video drivers run crossfire.

Does ANY MMO have that? I'm not familiar with any.

^^ This. On Raid Bosses that you can interrupt, that 10 second stun doesn't work as an interrupt anyway, that's what jolt is for, on a 12 second CD.

110% of running speed isn't fast enough for you?

A healer. I was burned out on healing after LOTRO (tired of healing stupid people) and swore I wouldn't do it. I have a dps sage (50) and a dps sorc (40). I'm considering switching the sorc to healing. *sigh*.

Exactly!

One thing about Qyzen - he does not like mercy on evil opponents, so when you get a boss down and let him live (no spoilers), you'll lose points, but not that many, as far as I know. It offends his sense of honor when you defeat a foe and let him live (except for one) so you can either take the hit in affection, or bring another companion out for that conversation.

Actually, BW time, it's still Tuesday for several more hours.

But he's in the sorc forum, therefore, he's a sorc.

Does anyone else other than myself and hubby think his name should be Darth Cartman?

If you pvp, that slow comes in handy, especially in huttball. A slowed ball carrier can't pass the ball, so you are free to kill them without them passing the ball off.

This is too true. If you know you aren't going to be using a skill, stop leveling it up. It's a waste of credits.
