Not many ppl mentioning any of smugglers advanced classes here. Let me represent them with no push abilities, no pull abilities, no sprint, never mind aoe not even single target and we always have the pleasure of taking the long road round when ever we are pushed off a ledge. Quit complaining the lot of you.

+1 I want a stealth bar!

This sums up perfectly, although I haven't played the other classes. Only through friends who can heal through content holding a cup of tea where as I have to keep a constant eye on my tool bar. Not really enjoying the actual fight much.

something needs to be done to tow the line between the top healer atm and the other classes. I'm not saying we can't heal hm or in pvp, the skill cap is higher and from what i've seen it is doable. But the argument for our lower numbers is because we are mobile or have utility? I don't understand this at all. Moving and casting EMP on someone at 30% might be useful for a few seconds. Moving and casting a hot is not mobility or utility imo. You will run into energy problems very soon. And lastly the argument that we'll never run out of energy and can heal long fights .... I don't think this is an issue for any class is it? In fact if we have to burst heal we can be energy deficient after 3-4 heals. But we have stealth! Who can heal whilst actually stealth'ed? It doesn't help in pve and in pvp I might survive a little longer, but it doesn't really help my team mates who need healing. I would prefer a buff to our healing over a nerf to other classes. But i don't really agree about us being mobile and having utility and therefore our heals should be for less argument. Agree that all classes can do content. Disagree with at the ease other classes heal same content. Definitely disagree (and sad face) with groups starting to look for "sage heals" instead of just "heals".

I wouldn't mind just having any one of many knock backs, pull, sprint or jump. Some classes with 3 if not 4 of the above (and even aoe), I would just love to have 1. Any one. That 2nd dodge/sprint thing does not count.

smuggler class story is the best. If you don't mind a few spoilers check out the dialogue thread.

Did anything ever happen to the ilum exploiters on patch day? So they are away scott free and now everyone has a harder time to catch up and those who grinded legitimately are losing out ... Steady(er) progression still beats complete rng though. Its a tough one to call.

It depends on the class. The smuggler class story so far has been exceptionally entertaining, witty funny and in some parts shocking. For example, I thought the flirting and then making out (a quest too) and getting 200 affection points was hilarious (and the one liner from companion too.). Then a bit later when you tried you try leave the planet, you get caught! Covnersly, there have been a few moments of "wth" moments when i thought, that probably wasn't necessary. In one particular dialogue, there was an option to punch/kill/forgive. So i chose punch (I have tried the other 2 in other similar quests) and quite shockingly then it was re-enacted with a big right hook. That wasn't really needed. On one side its just a game and its not as bad as killing, but on the other hand, it could easily be taken the wrong way. P.S I had chosen to be dark side ^_^

Please please please can we also have a steath bar when you are in stealth!!!

I actually don't do them much ... if at all! woooot!! Cheers for the tip bro.

Read this thread and you'll see. I haven't tried other classes much, but the dialogue always brings a smile to my face. Please note that it will contain spoilers. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=107405 The one where he tries to say sorry but couldn't was great!

I'm heading on 6k on 1 companion, 4k on others and 2k on the newest comp. I'll give it some more time.

Ah I c. I started an alt 2 days ago with underworld trading, and I've already got 2 orange recipes from 6 missions. Where as I now have 350 in investigation on my main and have had 3 recipes in total ... none orange. Thought i was on to something there, but maybe not.

I'm not scrapper and shoot first is not critical for me although its a nice opener. It just makes you wonder how a change like this made it live, given the amount of focus this issue has. A nerf + new bugs to contend with is really is poor form.

I got an armstech scehmatic from investigation right before maintenance started. It was mentioned that it might be a bug that you couldn't but i got one now. So maybe its fixed/working.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I first encountered those on the nar shadda as a sawbones and I couldn't do it at L28. (sith was L30 gold) By the time I got to alderan I had emergency med pack which was the deal breaker from behind very hard to very easy. But this is sawbones. Those sith do a lot of DPS fast, I don't know if its possble for you and companion dps them down before they can kill you at that level. I think you will have to group up to do them or be sawbones like I was to solo them.

thanks for the tip.

Hi All, Just rolled a Jedi Sent alt for my wife, its great so far. Lovin the sabers and lovin the look. These are obviously very important aspects for her. Just had a question regarding levelling spec. Which one is the easiest to use for levelling in pve? I've had a look at the 3 damage trees and tbh, there is just so much choice! Input welcome. Thanks in advance!

As sawbones i've managed to do all heroic +2 quests solo. I am usually 2-3 levels above content due to a massive pvp boast when i went mad on pvp in my 20's, but i know i wouldn't be able to do it as dps though. As sawbones you should also be able to solo any world champion mobs you find, but you may need emergency med pack first to be able easily, ~L20. healing was crap for pve though until about level 20 where you start unlocking more healing skills. So i Pvped through these levels

How hard is it type a few tips into the ops chat really? If you know better, then give tips, even if you have to repeat yourself every game. It takes time to learn tatics and if ppl aren't willing to help or give pointers then they will learn it the hard way by losing a few games. Speed up that curve and give some tips! A hint or tip is not being caps-lock hero or being condescending. If you can type "I can't be bothered to play with you because you are crap." you could just have easily given a pointer. I agree that some ppl won't listen, but all 7 other members every game? It only takes a few people to make a difference. When i first started huttball it took me 3 games of asking ppl where the pass ball before i found it, some ppl just are plain unhelpful. Sure I could have looked in the general tab, but being a newb (not noob) I just couldn't find it at the time. Well guess what I couldn't pass the ball, or through it on the floor to reset when i wanted to. Little tips help your team, even small things.

I'm not doings ops yet, but your suggestions are good. Gear progression is great through each tier and nightmare shouldn't be cleared so quickly either. But its hard not to if gear is obtained so easily. Definitely like the suggestion regarding loots distribution though.

+1 on this idea. There is already a buy back incase you sell something you shouldn't have. So would be great to have the same for buying something by accident. It must absolutely have some kind of timer on it as well as which character bought the item.

+1 This was a very good informative read. I like the ideas.

1) The world map is isn't really a world map as it only shows your current location. You can't zoom into other parts. (or can you?) 2) Would like to see a pvp debuff for leavers. Deserter's buff ... hrm ....

I still hate the fact that my smuggler has no gap closers and no knock backs. Both of those things are great for huttball. The only thing i get is a long walk back when i get knocked off.
