I hate Esselles with a passion. I will leave the FP every time when that pops. I will find more productive things to do while I am locked out. It can be done fast but only with a cooperative group and honestly you are not going to find much of that with PUGs.

I agree. When you are still taking damage, slowed, or having abilities such as stealth unusable when respawning, it can have an impact on the outcome of the match. If this is intended can someone help me understand why, and if not then can it be fixed? Just to reiterate, aggro is not always clearing when respawning, DOTs still ticking after respawn, and debuffs/snares etc.. still active at respawn point. Can a dev chime in and provide some insight?

I am consistently seeing aggro, dots, and debuffs not dropping when you respawn in a war zone. For example a number of times in voidstar I will die and respawn but remain in combat and cannot trigger stealth. Other times there are snares and dots still attached when I respawn. Is this intentional?

yep, dropped twice in last 15minutes

i've done this before. would be nice if there was a message that informed you that you are about to bind this item but i don't think there was.

may i recommend downloading it the first time and keeping a copy of it on a flash drive or external drive that way if you ever need to wipe and reinstall it will only take a few minutes to install it back.

I work two jobs and it takes me a crazy long time to lvl toons up and i had two days off to lvl my sentinel. Thanks for the boost! was awesome leveling up in a large group, we all had a blast!

just get all the schematics for your crafting profession and open and close your crafting windows repeatedly and you will crash eventually. some members in our guild were able to duplicate the leak caused from generating all the schematics from opening and closing the crafting windows. for some reason it doesn't clear out the cache when it closes.

What are your top 5 reasons why you left the game? Why do you stick around? 1. Bored 2. Repetitive 3. once you reach the end, its the end. 4. no player created content 5. Bored.

love it!!!! Jawa beers on me!

ummm yeah....way to go comparing the fight to a sex act.

honestly i don't have much problems with marauders/juggernauts in warzones with Assault. I click my critical adrenal>>tech override>>>reserve powercell>>>Plasma Grenade>>Incinderary Round>>HIB>>>Hammer shots till plasma cell pops>>Full Auto>>HIB>>somewhere in there a assault plastique or grav round (if your hybrid) On a Marauder or Juggernaut you are going to be highly reliant on your dots and when they crit is when they are most effective. between plasma grenade and incinderary round you have about 5k total damage to tick through then you have plasma cell and your regular attacks. Good thing about assault is hammer shots snares them. This is how i deal with them and am very successful with it. If they kill me they are usually dead to anyways because the dots will eventually take them out. when they leap to me i usually hit concussion charge to throw them back and i wait for them to hit their invulnerability to use my cryo nade to burn 4 seconds of that, if they hit their stunbreak then i can use my long duration stun on them to wait it out. there are a lot of strategies for them, try them out see which works best for you.

yeah i noticed that war hero gear really isn't much of an improvement over battlemaster gear.

well i've been consistantly doing 300k+ 400k+ damage and witnessed an assault commando do 527k damage the other day. I even saw either a powertech pyro or mercenary pyro do 700k dmg in a voidstar yesterday. I'm consistantly placing in top 3 every game in damage. Maybe its cause we have decent players on my server or just stroke of luck but so far so good. I do have decent gear though full battlemaster and custom augmented gear with power augments so i wonder if thats the case. my top buffed damage (class buffs) without adrenal/relics is 1057 with relic/adrenals its over 1250 i think 33% crit 71% surge.

yeah lol i don't know how many times i've been killed by a marauder only to watch him run off and die from my DoTs lol. I agree with everyone here straight Assault is best imo but, my reasoning was Assault Plastique although great on the run is not considered a significant enough improvement over sticky grenade to justify the points spent and would rather have them in grav round for the debuff and instant damage when needed instead of a 30 second cooldown ability. It is also good for not having to respec gunnery for pve lol. i'm still playing around with it, i might go back to full assault.

Hello, I am trying out a new template. I have played a trooper since launch and have played both dps specs Assault and Gunnery. I like aspects of them both and do well with each of them but, since 1.2 I am rethinking a few hybrid specs. here is one that so far i'm having decent success with and wouldn't mind some feedback. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#8000MZMIk0oZbIMrzGhMc.1 It is basically full Assault minus Assault Plastique and replacing Plastique with grav round for additional dps. my rotation goes like this. Sticky Nade>>Incendiary Ground>HiB>Full Auto>HiB>>Grav Round>hammer shots rinse and repeat. The only issue i'm having of course is ammo management because its real easy to blow that ammo real fast. I have noticed an increase in damage per warzone and it also is a good PvE hybrid. I usually crit on a Assault Plastigue charge between 3.5k-4k & Sticky hits for 1.5k-2k in an area of target, and my reasoning is i'm only losing the 2k in damage but, picking up more damage in grav rounds especially with the 4% debuffs. I am in full augmented battlmaster eliminator gear with Artifact Power Augments and am 400 biochem using Rakata Stims/Adrenals. What are your thoughts?

I think the problem is PuG groups & not being able to communicate efficiently. I was on a alderaan warzone fighting against a team that had 5 healers and lets just say we couldn't kill anyone. Now if we had the ability to coordinate and communicate better, then we could have put up a better fight. It's very difficult when you get on a team of 8 in a PuG with no voice chat whatsoever. typing commands takes time away from objectives, people don't want to listen to typed commands & then you get people who want to run off and do what they want to do instead of playing as a team. Thats why it's better to roll with guildmates in teams of 4 with voice chats. I honestly can't wait till we can Que with teams of 8. I'm interested to see what new problems come up when you have full 8man premades. Until then we just play the hand we're dealt and do the best you can. On a side note i would be indifferent to diminishing return healing for example city of heroes has a diminishing return system in which you get healed less and less over a short period of time. Would you think a diminishing return healing system would be stupid? What do you think about the stealth nerf to medpacks to 1 heal per fight.

lol rediculous. people will complain about anything and everything. Have some fun in the game, there's no such thing as a perfect game for EVERYONE because wait......for......it......EVERYONE is DIFFERENT. shocking i know but, its the truth.

i played a warzone today where we got beat so bad that everyone started leaving. i could only get two medals and stuck it out to the end and got absolutely nothing for it.

I disagree. It greatly debilitates the players ability to craft anything at all. for example Pre-1.2 i could craft 15 Exotech Resolve stims (including harvesting resources) in 9hrs. Now it will take approximately 15 hrs and thats if your are online every 2hrs to switch the missions! People already don't want to pay more than 20k for a stim now i'm going to have to charge more for the 50% time increase for me to craft them. Not to mention you get as much money for the resources as you do for selling the actual stim. So, why am i crafting? Now that it takes 50% longer to craft stims that are only 25% better why even bother anymore? Not to mention the fact that Rakata is now only 112 and Exotech is still 128. We got nerf'd big time!

you can buy a credit box or a crafting box. they're both dumb.

lol i'm sorry guys you just got hit with the ugly stick

i've critted demo round once at 5.7k that was 1/10000000 though...

(boston accent) Hot dogs! get your Hot Dogs! Popcorn! Candy! Nuts! $1!!!!

I agree. that wouldn't include flashpoints,ops,pvp instances, mission instances, space, & other planets. a lot of variables there that could effect those numbers tremendously.
