There's another bug guys, when I hit 1000 WZ Commendations it still allows me to queue. It should stop me from queuing until I spend those commendations so I don't waste them. PEBKAC - It's everywhere.

I personally have all of my Valor gear waiting for 40 (currently L37 / V35) with a full set for my companions (Talos & Khem). Imo this gear is very good and will do you well into the 40s, at least make you cruise through the first few levels. It also gives you a good chance to get your companions in moddable gear. It's not overly expensive but I can happily PvP for hours on end often only stopping the chain to figure out what I'm going to spend my comms on, I know others can't stand it. If you are anything like me this helps. Once I hit 45 I'll have the drive to hit 50. I focus on smaller goals (I.e. 1-10 (Advance class), 10-20 (PvP 20 set), 20-25 (Speeder), 25-30 (L30 Talent), 30-40 (L40 PvP Gear / L40 Talent), 40-50 Last set of levels!

What really gets me is when you are matched against a full sorc premade, and they just farm the living crap out of you - usually just by aoeing the spawn point. Can't get through 8 sorcs storms in 1 piece...

I'm quite happy with the 5k medal. I just wish they would include execute hits. As a madness assassin I hate getting a 4.5k Assassinate and still not getting my damn 2.5k medal because it kills them.

OK - So, I knew that Biochem was OP, but I heard it was getting nerfed. I was silly and assumed it would mean the re-usables would be under non-reusable, basically rendering them useless for endgame. I play an Assassin, and picked up Artifice because I just liked the idea of the proff and it was related to my toon. I am now 320/400 Artifice and find that Biochem is still awesome, with reusable stims adrens and medipacks that are equivalent to the best in the game. Saving you millions of credits in the long run. Are BW looking at giving perks to people who have other crafting proffs? Because there seriously seems to be no benefits to having anything other than Biochem...

Thanks all, Figured my play style probably suits Talos more. I am currently Madness just for the pure dps. Talos topping me up will make life a lot easier as my DPS isn't lacking. Picked up 4 L40 Pvp pieces for Talos last night and should finish the set tonight. Hoping life should be pretty cruizy for me once I hit 40, and have a decked out toon and companion, hasn't happened since 20 and that was a breeze.

Hi All, I have really been taking my leveling slowly and enjoying the journey. I am an avid pvper and currently V32 for level 33. Trying to keep them as close together is a personal challenge and gives me plenty of points for gear. I have my full L40 PvP gear waiting for me, and I am building up some companion gear, preferably a full set. I have half of Khem's heavy tank gear so far. It dawned on me today, that I'll get Talos before 40. My question to the Assassins of Swtor.com is how game changing is Talos? For Soloing do you go Talos and don't look back? I have always found Khems tanking to be kind of lack-luster, and the downtime dismissing him and re-summoning him as well as topping myself up from the bad job at holding agro he did is annoying. I'm more than happy to start getting Talos's gear, hell the amount of PvP I do to levels I get, I'll probably have both sets - but all opinions are welcome

Bioware obviously want there to be a penalty for stance dancing, and they obviously thought 50 focus on a 100 (or 110 if decep) wasn't enough, this is what I propose. Some of you may recognize this mechanic. When changing charge, drain all energy. No energy requirement. By all means give us the penalty of not being able to change without a severe drawback - hell we are going to be useless until we regen. But we should have the option to change on the fly. In PvE - if the tank dies close to a boss kill, know what I do? Change charge and taunt the tank and hope to god we get it down before I get smashed.

Against stealth the only way I have been able to win is Trinket the stun > Debilitate > Cover Pulse away (Heavy shot works as well) > Leg shot > Corrosive Nade > Keep on bursting down and once they get close Flashbang and hope to god they are near death. When you screw up a scoundral / ops opener they are pretty screwed. Just hope they don't vanish else you may need to entrench.

I thought the GCD was 1 second? Either way, burst is burst. It's not exactly a PvE Talent. I'd imagine it would work quite well with the engineering talent that allows you to use snipe standing after exiting cover.

No attack at current HP Levels should be able to hit for 10k.

Good to see some people doing well with sniper. I make an effort to try and talk to the higher level snipers when I see them. Basically asking how they are doing with the class. I think just about all of them have told me to reroll. I haven't listened. Hell one was complaining about not being able to move and didn't even know about the Lethality tree! And he was Valor 59!

Correct me if im wrong, but you could still try throwing Ambushes out there for the 2.5k medal. I mean it's not exactly optimal but you can still use the ability - and it's not nerfed by lethality, it's just not as good as the lethality skills. Even undergeared Ambush has the potential to hit for 2.5K +

Personally, I think lag to be a bioware problem, not a user problem - It's not exactly PEBKAC. Which is getting fixed. You won't find me QQing about Cover. But I can sympathize with people who experience lag and the issues they can have with cover.

Cover doesn't cost a GCD, but as an oceanic player I can vouch for the time it takes to drop cover. Hopefully once they implement these 'Australian' servers things will improve. Watching videos of Snipers in PvP I can't do things nearly as fast as they can due to the consistent 300+ms.
