On my 12th bracer and I think I'm going to just give up. Or maybe I'll give the belt a shot. Getting a biometric crystal back is probably around 2/10 as I've received 2 back so far from RE. I don't get how so many people seem to be critting within the first few tries. :\. Regardless, this is one massively expensive endeavor.

Using my 10k affection companion with its +5 synthweaving crit. I'm on my 8th try for the bracers and haven't hit it yet... kind of discouraged. I've heard that if you queue up 4 in a row with the same companion you might have a better chance of critting it. Is this true? What's the maximum amount of times anyone has crafted before critting? I feel like I might need 20 or 30 tries lol. So poor now.

After the surge nerf, is it still: Accuracy to 108% -> then crit to 30% -> then surge to 30% -> then stack power? I've got my accuracy to 108, crit almost at 30. Now i'm going to work on surge...or should i just be stacking power from now on? I'm anni marauder with around 1550 strength unbuffed atm.

Hey dragon, which was the answer and had the higher tooltip? I'm also wondering if Champion mainhand is better than Hatred.

So in PVE would you suggest we swap out all the columi default weaponmaster strength mods for the Power ones from other classes columi pieces?

Awesome, thanks for that. On a seperate note, lightside gets shafted. Darkside has 2 categories Jaesa loves. Lightside has none. Haha.

Anyone know what specific Rank 5 Blue or Purple gifts a lightside Jaesa would love the most? I've read that you can get 500+ affection pts at early levels with a Purple Rank 5 gift - what are you experiences?

Hey Dan, did you use a max affection companion? I'm debating on using my +5 crit companion who has very little affection or my max affection companion with no crit bonus. My first time around I did not crit with with my +5 comp.

Sorry to resurrect this but has anyone found that you can get one of those variations if you RE the Rakata Belt/Bracers we make? The Endowment Rakata Weaponmaster's Waistcord with +33 Critical Rating, +37 Surge Rating looks ridiculous, but something tells me that maybe these variations aren't possible?

What planet can I farm these on? The GTN has absolutely none of them. I've been looking around Belsavis and Hoth but no luck. Does anyone have some exact coordinates or names of the places I can get some? Thank you in advance.

I've a level 50 but starting from scratch on Synthweaving. I've done some extensive googling on how to make the Rakata Bracers/Waist for my Marauder but not had much success. Obviously I will take this to 400, however where do I get the schematics? Can I buy them from a vendor or do I need to get these via drops? Is there a guide out there which tells me what I need to do to craft the Rakata Bracers and Belt?

Thanks!

I guess my main question is: Is Tier 2 Champion PVP Gear better than Tier 1 Tionese Gear in terms of DPS during Raids?

Hi guys, So currently I have HATRED as my main saber: http://www.torhead.com/item/f25wOEi/hatred Obviously, I can't pickup a main hand columi without raiding. My question is, if I use my Champion Vindicator saber will it be more DPS?: http://www.torhead.com/item/8iWMwZT/champion-vindicators-lightsaber I have a +28 STR augment lying around which I could put into the Champion saber. This would make it: 97+28 Str/72 Critical vs 76pwr/81str/42 accuracy. If 1 STR = 0.75 PWR then on paper, the HATRED saber is still superior. But if power hits DR, then i wonder if the Champion saber is superior? That was the added endurance/crtical might be a plus too, as I've already hit my 110% accuracy cap....

Anyone?

Ok, I'm super confused. This is the [WEEKLY]: http://www.torhead.com/mission/9Bif1fl/galactic-conflicts This is the [DAILY]: http://www.torhead.com/mission/b2W2U4H/galactic-conflicts On the type to the right, notice how it says WEEKLY or DAILY. The WEEKLY seems to include Kaon, while the DAILY does not. I don't understand the difference or when I can turn the WEEKLY in. On a normal day, I pick up my dailys, run a quick HM FP, and turn it in. However, through the course of a week, I probably do 6 or 7 different HM FPs. This is well above the 3 HM FPs I am required to do for the WEEKLY. But I seem to not be able to turn it in? Thanks in advance for any help.

So I know if you accept the Galactic Conflicts mission on IF, you need to complete 3 hard mode flashpoints. My question is, when can you turn the mission in? I've taken the quest, completed 3 HMs, and returned to the box. The box is blue and says "Not eligible" when I click it. I've definitely completed well over 3 HM FPs in a couple days. How can I turn it in? Is there a specific day I need to go back to this box to turn in? Thank you!

Hi guys, I've noticed that sometimes the annihilate animation does not completely work. For instance, sometimes it has red lines shooting up and a roaring sound comes out when I do the move. Other times, it just does the hands up and down without any red "fury" type lines and doesn't seem to hit for as much damage. Is this an animation bug that causes it to not have the lines shooting up/down or am I not stacking something correctly?

New to MMORPG but what's the difference between a weekly and daily HM FP? Do I need to drop or reset the daily missions to get the weekly commendations after completing a HM FP? Or is it that you can only get credits from completing a WEEKLY hm fp once a week? Just a little confused on the difference between them and how to get the credits.

Can we please, please have an option to go back to the old bar? As a rage marauder, this bar makes it nearly impossible to differentiate what move I have enough rage to perform.

This bar makes it EXTREMELY hard to distinguish which abilities are available. Often times I'm spamming a certain ability and I have no clue if it's available or not. Please, please give us an option to go back to the old bar.

Payback, can you quickly post a good opening rotation which is good for PVP on Rage tree? Thank you!

Great guide, thanks Kiba! This is probably a really dumb/obvious question, but my animation on Annihilate and Vicious Slash vary sometimes. Sometimes it hits with a roar and red force lines up and down, other times it's just the regular annihilation move which doesn't look as powerful. Is that the buff from deadly saber I'm seeing? If so, am I ideally supposed to be hitting annihilate with the full animation every time? I think it's about 50/50 whether or not I'm seeing the full annihilation.

Per the title, I don't do well when enemies kite. I'm really only interested in open-world PVP and some PvE. I prefer to keep the enemy locked up as long as possible while i go through my rotations. Is there a tree which is easiest for me to keep them in front of me and do my damage and then worry about mobility later? From doing a lot of googling on this forum I would say the Rage tree would be the most suitable perhaps? Thank you in advance. Just hit level 48!
