Oh ok so you you slightly agree that you made a knee jerk reaction with your post and it was nothing more than a l2p issue.

When i open up on sorcs I usually have no problem. When they use the knock back aoe that snares I cast force stun it has 30m range which is the same as lightning. Closing 30m isnt that hard imo. if they are 30 out and lightning then potency/telekinetic throw. Your still doing damage.

if your infiltration spec what is the best technique to be in for pve or pvp? I was using combat technique and force technique in pvp for the survivability. I have switched to shadow technique since I just got that ability since it seems it benefits from some of the procs except I did like the dot from force breach better when in force technique.

what spec are you using for your balance shadow?

Is this pvp? Or PVE? What spec are you? If its pvp I have no problem Im only level 20 on my shadow and I usually top 5 in damage if I am focusing on kills and not objectives. Im infitration spec only class i have trouble with is Ops/scoundrels but alot of people have a problem with them. Shadow strike isnt even needed really unless finding weakness procs. I dont know i guess it depends on what your spec is or what not I find no problem with my shadow. This is only my second MMO (Champions Online) never played WOW. I think people should take the time to look around read look at some vids. The info is out there. I have a sentinel that I leveled to 23 and I died more times on that than I have on my shadow. Honestly I feel more powerful with my shadow than my sentinel. Just because the shadow has the ability to control the fights against multiple mobs something a sentinel cant really do.

My server is Eidelion Security. I got the game late about 2 weeks ago and the population was light when I got on. It was normally one of the light server amongst the normal standard or heavy. Its pop is usually now standard. So if anything I think more people are playing but now people are back to work school so they will get on later probably.

I mean you could always just use a 1 lightsaber. All the classes can use a light saber, or vibrosword. I think you an equip techblade. I know on my sentinel I can use a techblade in one hand and lightsaber in the other. I really have no problems with the lightsaber restrictions but to each their own I guess. The class desciptions all tell you what weapons you get. Plus its still early and who knows what opens up later down the road.

This My main was going to be a sentinel/marauder i leveled to 23 but there are so many on my server I decided to try something diff. I made a shadow alt (assassin on sith side) infiltration spec (deception - sith) and I love it. I waited till 15 to pvp on it and after a good amount of matches I am starting to get it down. You really need to have your interrupt readily available. You have a few at 19. Your stun, your aoe knock back, and your actual interrupt spell not sure what they are called on sith side. If I am going all out and not focused on objectives I usually am top 5 damage dealer. When you hit 19 or 20 there is a ability that you get that adds 25% to your base damage on your shock I think is what it is on sith side. You are dps so you basically want to try to deal as much damage as you can quickly. If things get hairy use your force speed to escape. But you arent going to be able to 1v2 very often. Usually only class I have problems with is ops/scoundrels but alot of people do. I wont call them OP or not. I just deal with it and accept the game as it is in its current state. I will say they can hurt but so can many classes if used right.

If (and that's a big if) bioware on adjusted purely because of pvp cause that would not be good judgement. If you just look around the forums it's almost 90% pvp centric. That's not biowares fault at all. Almost every thread pvp is mentioned almost every QQ pvp is mentioned. If you were new to MMO genre you would think it was designed around pvp.

OP posted irrelevant videos. Come on man why does everyone think they are Sherlock Holmes. Videos are full with buff stacking pre 1.1. Low level characters getting mauled by high level geared players. Everyone knows marauders are great 1v1 vs most classes and 1v2 against many like they are suppose to be. Ask Amy marauder and they will tell you it's a pain to stay on top of there enemies usually. Nothing to see here. Great title poor execution sorry.

Thanks for this exactly what I was looking for. Another question is the power stat in the handbook he said if u choose infiltration or balance you want to add the power stat when possible. Is this because it benefits healing and damage?

Should I use focus on force power or use shield generator? Also in handbook guide it says focus on power when gearing. Just a bit confused as to which to choose.

No re-read plz. It's not the fact that they disagreed with his opinion it's what he said. How can you take anyone serious if they say "I don't understand how they release new content when they should be focusing on these bugs". If you don't see the problem with that answer I don't know what to tell you. Anyone who has played a MMO before should know the answer to that question. It was a childish statement. The same logic can be applied if Justin is the head of Darthhater and says something it resonates louder than anything anyone else can posting a story. Just like if James Olhen says something about SWTOR people will assume it is the word of law for all of BW.

People asked for received it now exploit it. Most of those people probably don't post anymore. Now the people are saying you don't need rewards. Can't please everyone and BW needs to realize that. I say go back to no rewards for open world except social gear which does nothing but change appearance.

Where is this credible media source? Just watch http://www.gamebreakerstv.com. Justin who heads up Darthhater constantly downs the game. Last podcast he said why are they making new content when they should be fixing the bugs. Every other host on the show shot him down cause that's dumb to say. Really bugs and content are 2 diff teams. A credible source would never say something idiotic like that. Posting this is the same as any other qq thread here. If Darthhater is close to the debs as you say then they can just email them. Darthhater is a fansite nothing more nothing less. Look at the reviews on iTunes about darthhaters podcast then look at the reviews for Mos Eisely Radio and get back to me.

OP received comment he was fishing for from ignorant forum goer. I can type up patch notes. Balancing and fixing and implementing and testing takes time and money. Most of all patience and if the op and this guy ^^ would have some. There would be one less person trying to tell BW how to do this. Why would you be re-balancing every class in the game before ability delay is fixed? Why would you be rebalancing the game around PvP? 1 star

Really? I don't get it this is only my second MMO (Champions Online) and I figured there would be rare crystals coming in. That's what makes it good about it that not every one has one. The usual colors are pretty easy. The way light sabers are crafted fits with lore. Each part of the saber can be modded and you keep your light saber through the whole game if you want. I know I plan on keeping my dark Jedi lightsaber. I dont understand why people don't want to work for it I mean they gave you the majority of the colors and some we haven't seen as a handout.

^^This Just do some reading in the crew skills and look at the stickies. Im only level 17 but after doing some reading I changed to artiface and archaeology and treasure hunting. I like it so far. Just reverse engineer to get better schematics. (This may take time but at lower levels not to long) Example you go to artiface trainer get say Green Fortitude Crystal (+2 endurance) schematic. Now you could have your companions go looking for the items or go to the GTN (trade kiosk) and just buy Green color crystals for your level low level I think is 9. Now reverse engineer those crystals and you should come out with a blue schematic eventually. When you get that blue schematic that crystal will be better that you can make but can equip at same level (+3 endurance) you can also get a purple from this still equippable at level 9 with +4 endurance. Ariface is fun now like i said I am new to MMO's really but just read the stickies in the crafting forum section. My explanation isnt to great.

bump for education

Also remember if you go sentinel/ marauder that when you talk to the advance trainer he gives you a bag that has your second saber in it

Fixed!
