40.67% DR ? Cool story brah!

We have a video in HD of the fight here, with camel leg position, Stacking up on the droids, pulling ppl out from the camel and how you should TANK kephess. It just takes one kill, then its farm-status. good luck! / Zacke @ Tomb or freedom nadd.

Kephess HM - http://www.torparse.com/a/14485 Dont have a storymode log, I'll do one today. Assassin TANK (MT). ps. As my combat log shows: % Hits Damage Type Total Damage 69.04% 212 kinetic 388850 13.94% 52 energy 78527 Almost 70% of the damage in kephess fight is shieldable. This is a video of us doing it POV = The other assasin (We use two assassins as tanks).

I successfully MT Kephess 8-men HM with my gear the other assassin has almost exacly the same setup (we are two sin tank and it works fine). 31/0/10 with "extra" point in nerve wrecking for +3% dmg boost to ops on bombers in kephess fight. Buffed for ops: Rakata fortitude stim + BH buff HP: 26209 Defense chance: 28.23% Damage reduction: 40.25% (6141 armor) Shield chance: 45.41 (DW: 65.41%) Shield absorb:50.48% Unbuffed with dark charge. HP: 24000 (exacly) Damage reduction: 40.25% (6141 armor) Defense chance: 27.2% Shield chance: 45.41 (DW: 65.41%) Shield absorb:50.48% Link to mr robot ( not updated): http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/40442ed5-c8d5-40bb-8625-f41f686bf6ba Im using Campaign relic of imperiling serenity to get a "extra" cooldown. But Im not sure if it's bis / best practice. What are you ppl "targeting" for? Should I remove some fortitude augments for mitation stats? Thanks in advance / Zacke.

Ive read through the parse of EC HM, and you are right! Shield and absorb does nothing for you since it's all non-shieldable dmg. For EC, go with defense and a big pile of HP. /Z

1.Make sure Darkward is up at all times. 2.Wither gives a your mob a debuff -5% dmg 5% less dmg is really alot. But it's AoE so watch out so you dont break crowd controlled targets. 2.Discharge gives a your mob a debuff -5% accuracy 5% less accuracy is a boost to survivability. But it's AoE so watch out so you dont break crowd controlled targets. 3. Shock is good for aggro management, so is wither and force pull. 4. If your are going to use mass mind control, make a quick estimate on how many targets that are going to hit on you and use defensive cooldowns before activating it. Force shroud or deflection or tank relic. 5. A good start to build aggro is force pull (if possible), mindcontrol, wither,shock, discharge,shock/wither and then force lightning with 3stacks of harness darkness. !! Try to learn early to not be life depending on mindcontrol. In end-game content mindcontrol will be used for switching tank targets and should never be "on cooldown". Good luck with tanking!

Ty. As I figured I can miss a saberstrike once a while np But missing a taunt or chain-lightning with 3 hd stacks wouldnt be fun...

Hello! I have a question about the accuracy stat. How important is this stat for tanking? My stats atm: Accuracy: 99% (melee) 108% (force) Armor - 6914 43.03% Dmg reduction 28.01% Defense chance 54.70% Shield chance 34.50% Absorb Reason I want to know is I RE Blackhole gloves enhancement and learned Advanced Bastion Enhancement 26 Thinking of replacing some of my other enhancements with this new (61) enhancement, but stats on it is: Armor Rating 146 +45 Endurance +57 Shield Rating +22 Defense Rating Some of my current enhancements have +accuracy, have I safe gimped accuracy for shield and defense. Can my taunts now miss? I can prolly add up to 100% by adding augment to lightsaber , bracers and gloves. Or when I augment my items can I add more defensive stats? This question is for operations bosses if that is relevant. Please don't link to another post with Tanking 101 teory stuff, Ive read most of them.

Made me laugh.

I've read alot of forum posts and patch notes. Still before I start destroying items. Please if anyone knows this would be nice to NOT destroy items. To summarize: Can I reverse engineer the following for schematics: Battlemaster / war hero offhand, Relic? Enhancements 24,25,26? Warhero enhancements, BoE enhancements from denova, HM ops? Crystals? What can be reverse engineered for schematics when it comes to Artifice. Please if anyone have a img of a successful RE of anything that resulted in a schematics post it here please.

Will still be active at patch 5.0 and people will ask you how you get the "founders" title..

Love it, almost addicted in some way....

I can complain too, WAR HERO assassin leggings design look retarded. But upside just move armoring mod. PRO! Energy surge device rendered useless in PvP. Don't know how to calculate this. Got 1134 Expertise. Worth sacking WH relic 57 expertise for dmg buff 224 extra dmg / 4.5sec? Anyone? /Zman.

PvP is awesome, now it takes a bit more skill. Increased damage and lowered mitation. Before patch I could easy pickup ball + one pocket healer and walk slowly to goal. No way of doing that now. I love it! I love sitting with my mates on TS and work for winning. PvP is now exacly as I should be! Awesome job BW! Gives rewards for passing, scoring, capping a node ALL IMBA changes. Quote from general chat "Zman is to strong". /Zman Assassin Rank 78 ( no ilum cheat zerg ****).

Nobody cares about you, roll back to kitchen diabeto!

Takes about 15 sec to get 3 medals, that is not a problem imho. If you get in a loosing game with 2min left well, "only" getting 30 wc for 2 min is kinda nice. Only problem with this new system as I see it: Totally to buy War Hero set (if you don't have BM) you need ~99.000 Warzone commendations ration 1/3 Rated commendations with Dailies 99/99. Queuetime of 5 min, Matches 10-15min and at 75% win ratio and 8 medals / game,.. Warzone / queue + games 3 hours / day (Casual): ~250days. Warzone / queue + games 5 hours / day (Moderate): ~160days. Warzone / queue + games 8 hours / day (Hardcore): ~96days. (yeah, did it in excel I R nerd, but server is offline) This is obtainable? o.O I got to eat aswell, and cant put more than moderate-player hours / day. Lucky for me I have full BM set, and only have to do 6h / day for 3.5 months.. Tried math yesterday 990 Rated comms in one day 6 hours PvP queueing (although patch release made queues really fast on my otherwise low-pop server Kai-kan). But as long as it is the same for everyone It's OK I guess.

Depends on vs class. Force cloak + mindsnap, force speed away to seethe up is always pro. Hybrid is good against non-healing classes. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200rcrRkbskdZZf0cRR.1 Try to get 3 stacks of harness as soon as possible, Use deathfield+reclessness+Relic. 3Harness buffs, use force lightning. Overcharge saber is a instant heal. Otherwise deception will burn down healer in a few stun sec. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200bZGMrRzGMMtzZf0c.1 Remember to stack +crit,surge and power. Lowslash, electrocute, Jolt just stop them from casting heals... Voltaic slash x 2, Shock (45% chainshock), discharge. don't forget to use blackout (darkswell) to not go out of force during burst. GL!

? - 95% of the time I top 3 Scoreboard. You must be doing it wrong. Assassins have alot of tools in the trunk. Force cloak - instant ball reset (huttball) Force pull - ( Darkness ) healer from group. 300k dmg? If you want to that is easy, just don't die and dot all (madness), or AoE Darkness & hybrids. But I get top MVP alot, not doing more than maybe 275k. Try getting "immortal" 4 games in a row with another class mate.. Also I enjoy getting whispers same sec I come online "Wan't to join warzone group?, Only pro players) or "We starting new guild with top players Rank 75++, Intressted?" pff, Gonna see if I can post you a video tutorial on how to play assassin. I played Deception to valor rank 70, respeccing PvE tank / PvP specc / PvE DPS was to costy, so going hybrid works fine PvE tank / PvP. (27/0/14). Atm Valor Rank ~77ish. Wan't to run around hitting stuff random, please don't queue, Just uninstall you will never shine like that. 1v1 - NP only Operative healerz or republic equ. 1v2 - Same here. 2v5 - Healer + Sin, roflm. Maybe it's a hard class to learn if you are used to rouge, sin != rouge, you need to have more than 1,2,3,4 keybinded. 1,2,1,1,1,3,4 Will not cut it. I suggest also reading up on sithwarrior on Mods / stats prio. Im on Kai-kan If you wan't to ask anything. Be top dog, be like Zman = LIEK A BOWZ! re: http://magetor.enjin.com/gallery/m/4937606/album/57942

Tomb of Freedom Nadd - rolled imperial char "MVP´me" Fatman - Rolled a imperial char "Cocopops" Cya people ingame. /Zman.

True about Imperial fleet, but /who 50 dont provide false numbers. This thread wasn't about whining about low population (there is allready one about that subject). This was about giving people a possibility to advertise thier server.

Im going to reroll on a new server (EU), what are your server like? Example (kai-kan): Population 17:00 -> 00:00 (imperial fleet: 42 / no 50's: 62) Population 00:00 -> 04:00 (imperial fleet: 17 / no 50's: 19) Population 04:00 -> 07:00 (imperial fleet: 6 / no 50's: 12) Population 07:00 -> 17:00 (imperial fleet: 28 / no 50's: 31) Also a short description on PvE grouping, PvP que times and galactic trade market flow would be appreciated. /Rickard

Of 5/12 online lvl 50's are members of my guild. We are trying to get IRL friends to start a account to come play with us, I personally bought 3 accounts to my friends, but one person cannot fill a server. Yesterday I started queing at 15:00, and finished my "daily" 10 games at 02:00. Not fun. Please, please. Make at least paid character transfer available. I've put time into my char, Almost all HM's completed. Almost full PvE set. Valor Rank 65 VIP wristband and more. Please BW. /Rickard.
