Since all our saber really does is act as a stat stick I am curious if anyone else uses a orange vibrosword instead of a saber? I find I like them since without a glowstick so I don't stand out 'quite' as much in PvP.

Who uses a lightsaber? I have an orange vibrosword I can mod up so I don't have to run with a glow stick.

Depending on the rest exp I can see it being possible. I don't recall exactly where I was going from Taris to Nar but I do know when I went from Nar to Tat I was already 29 and every quest was green. At lvl 32 right now and still working on quests on Tat..

I find ear pieces sell well if you get a good blue version. Also I do find ship parts are a fairly consistent market at lower levels. The grade 2 parts are the best most folks will see as they level up and sell fairly well. Typically 6-6.5k a piece and the materials are easy to come by. So while not big bucks for later levels do make the leveling process easier since you can make you own upgrades and always have cash to buy anything you need from GTN.

I take it nobody knows?

Basically what the title says. If I buy mods from a commendation vendor can they be REed with the chance to learn the schematic?

So I am always trying to find better ways to organize my hotbar better for better reactions and timing. I am curious what other are doing for their quickbars and keybindings. At work so can't post a photo but I typically have the few things I cast alot in the primary 1-6 slots and stuff that is cast less below in the Alt_1-6 slots. And then have my 'cast on focus' key be `. But it still seems like I just never have enough space for what I use in a normal fight for everything and end up reaching over off the movement keys to hit a farther number. So I am looking for ideas.. while I am currently only 27 lvl 50 layouts work just fine since I will have something to progress with and towards.

So I have my 21 shadow tank that I am leveling up. I have yet to get Theran so perhaps stuff changes when you have a healing pet but I still don't seem to do all that well against multiple tough guys. So it made me curious.. when leveling a shadow tank.. At the various timepoints (say every 10 levels) what would you expect a good talent skill set to look like (respecing between is fine to change if it grants a benefit for a while) and at the different levels what is a typical fight rotation? At 21 I basically run in and DS until I can insta-crit project. If more then 1 tough mob often will force breach and then just SS when LOF.

Besides the extra healing the target is getting from the HoT. Plus you can HoT a dps who is taking AE damage then use the proc to cast deliverance on the main tank faster in essence healing both in the same time you could have healed 1.

So basically this boils down to some things I have seen said but never really flushed out. What sort of attacks can your shield absorb? I assume all melee and blaster ones but from the bits I have picked up it will not stop most special attacks?

Yep.. that was the 5 points in the TK tree. 2 for more force and 3 for reduced casting cost.

So while I have read many posts about sage rotations endgame how do you manage your force before level 41? This being the level you can finally get 2/2 in resplendence provided you did the 5 required points in TK. I know at the moment at 22 I don't even have my HoT but I have the hardest time not running out of force in flashpoint boss fights. Doing nothing but casting force armor and deliverance (with the occational intterupt or stun on mob) I still quickly burn through my force. Am I just running these with tanks who suck or does sage healing not really get a good rotation until 41?
