Is there something stopping you from doing Black Hole one day, Belsavis the next, Ilum the next? Nothing says you have to knock them all out in one day. And for anyone who does want to do all of them every day, why would you want to limit them?

There's one problem with this. It's not a freaking democracy. This is a company offering a forum for paid members to post on. This is NOT a government-run website.

They also didn't deny the world wouldn't come to an end today, so there's always that possibility, too...

So what you're saying is that we don't need to hear voices of other players on Vent, etc, since we have tons of voice acting in the game, right?

There's not that many people on PTS.

You know what it's doing when it increases on some servers? I decreases on others. Off-topic since this is about LFG tool, but if they really don't merge, it's the 2nd worst decision they've had behind the creation of all these servers in the first place.

Much anger in this one.

The video said "coming this year" - not "coming in 1.3". I bet most of this isn't coming within a month or whenever 1.3 goes live...

I bet I would own with a Sorc then because if it took you a lot of planning with Sniper and I just steamrolled through whatever (without planning), Sorc would probably seem like a giant shiny "I Win" class to me. Did anyone else think Sniper took any sort of real planning?

To the person who asked about Vitality Serum over Vital Regulators, I had initially tried Vital Regulators and for some reason, it didn't seem all that great to me. I might play with that point some more. As for the '4' energy, since each of those powers are in my normal rotation, that adds up to 12 energy per cycle. To me, that seemed like it was worth it. It's rare that I experience energy issues and I like to think that plays a big part of it. Since 1.2 where I can spam Overload shot, I may have to revisit that and put the 2 points into Endurance. But I'm liking where I'm at now.

Mind showing us your spec? I'm 9/32/0 - with my extra +1 in Engineering going towards the +2% Endurance. What's your 10th point in MM tree? Edit: this is my build http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#400McMMZrI0dRorRrs.1

I seem to do just fine as well. Going up the engineering tree, I upgraded my shield. I then took some skills from the first 2 rows of MM for survivability. As for low health points, I'm not seeing it. I have almost 19000 HP, but then again, I'm pretty well geared and I don't always put on my PvP gear since I don't have the best. The key is knowing when to get up and run. Don't stay planted, even though you do get the +20% defense buff...

The only way your comparison works is if 1 other class had all these abilities. So because you might want to have lower CC immunity, you switch to marauder. How do you AoE KB then? We have a little of everything. Nothing wrong with that. Anyone who tells me I'm gimped in WZ because I'm a sniper just wants to have an instant "I win" button...

I agree with what Altruismo said. Get used to using that power for the energy. Use it often. That's what makes Engineering so good IMO. You can instantly cool that power down with a skill point (although you won't have enough to get that)....

I never found vital regulators to be effective when I had it. Maybe I'll need to play with it some more. However, I would have to debate the effectiveness of a potential 6% that you need to activate (less a possibility if you cast it while at full health) vs a 4% boost that's constant from Vitality Serum with the same 2 points.

If he's PvP'ing a lot, I think Imperial Demarcation is an awesome power. I probably use Leg shot as much, if not more, than every other power. It's most noticeable in Voidstar and Huttball. Maybe as people play Norvare Coast in the lanes more that'll become more useful... I've only got 9 points in MM but I made sure I had space for 2 of the 3 second cooldown. Obviously it may not be part of his rotation as he might be going for more damage. But you can't deny the utility of being able to use this power up to 25% more. Ignores resolve? Even better...

Seeing as I was close to lvl 50 before I ever got off of Social 0, I'd say it's a perfectly viable solo spec (I skipped all heroics). And once you get Lokin, it's even easier... As for PvP, I always thought it was viable but 1.2 made it that much more so. Plasma Probe is a beast. I put 9 points into the MM tree for the defenses on the first 2 tiers - and the reduced leg shot timer. People really underrate leg shot. An immob. that disregards the resolve bar? I'll take that, please!

How would rolling a BH 'solve' this? They have Heat, which is the exact opposite of Energy. The higher your heat, the slower you vent it. With a sniper, the lower the energy, the slower you regen it. Same thing, actually... Just so no one thinks I'm saying I don't want energy/heat management, I do. You can tell the bad players on Ventrillo when you constantly hear from them "I'm out of energy". No ****. That's because you don't mix up your rotation to something other than pure biggest shot that's ready...

They both show up, but I'm pretty sure 1.2 made it so only 1 will be used...

As the person above you posted, switch from Cover to Crouch. I made the switch a long time ago. I don't see any downside. Only positives...

If you follow over to snipers, he mentions that just because his primary damage was in the upper-2k's and after 1.2 it was in the 300 range, he took that to be a 1/7 decline in damage. He never realized that there was an extra 0 in our Character sheet under our stats. So he wasn't trolling so much as just clueless...

Ok, since you were comparing your Primary damage low/high and determined it was 1/7th erroneously, you now say you can tell just by 1 shot that it's less than before. What #'s are you putting up compared to what you did before? And just a question -but if you're truly doing less per shot, wouldn't you be doing less overall? Your post isn't making a ton of sense to me. I'm hitting harder now than ever before, if solo-ing. We got buffs to our damage...

Into hyperbole, much? 1/7th? Really? Getting people to agree with you by making ridiculous claims isn't going to work...

Or on a turret on Alderaan... If I have a sliver of health left, I'll drop it and run back to one of the sides away from the turret. People probably think I'm no threat when I'm not directly in front of them firing but little do they know I have roughly 18 seconds to fall back and heal and if it's well placed enough, they aren't capping. If they would just give chase a little and finish me off, they'd have it easy. To the guy who steps 3 feet to the left and start waving - by the time you notice it, the bulk of the ticks have already hit you. So if you're avoiding damage, that's fine. But if a healer needs to sit there casting, they're either going to a) eat the damage or b) move and interrupt casting. A win/win for me
