because there would be no economy

I chose guardian becuase I still have the ability to taunt and switch from dps to tank. Plus cant go wrong with heavy armor. I don't expect guardians to always be able to out-dps sents since they are pure dps.

Well I made that mistake early on with two pieces of gear. However, using a rakata earpiece and relic as well as the matrix cube drops me even more. It will slowly be fixed as I obtain more WH gear.

I have a thread on this. Focus Guardian PVP i think. Anyway, yes, focus is still very viable. If you gear right, sweeps are still awesome and fun. The rotations are a little slower, but I have embraced 1.2 and dont see too durastic of changes. I see no reason to not play focus. I find it to be a very enjoyable spec to play and in no way 'nerfed.'

**UPDATE** Just wanted to see how things were coming along for other force users. I am full BM, optimized with more power, have both WH implants and WH belt. Expertise dmg is almost 19%. I still need my rakata stim and adrenal, so I'm using sub-par ones for now. My sweeps hit consistantly around 5.3-5.8k with 6.4k being my highest so far. How are you doing and care to share some rotations that work well?

Im in the same boat. Im just going to deal with BM and Champion until I can slowly buy war hero. - Get WH earpiece and implants for more power and surge. The loss in accuracy is fine since im already way too high (113%) from all BM gear. - With expertise re-worked, I think it is better to gain more expertise and cut a little loss on power. If anyone knows what to do for sure, please feel free to explain.

I feel that I'm one of few who actually isn't upset with the 1.2 patch regarding focus guardians. - Master strike is ridiculous now (4-7k on avg) - Force push (for me atleast) suprisingly does more damage - Dispatch hits hard and can activate it sooner - Combat focus is very useful - Awe for free - Blade storm (for me) hits harder - Singularity lasts longer The only major negative was force sweep's damage reduction, which really is not that bad. Just gear your character right and use those relics and adrenals. Put in the time to get good gear and focus guardians look promising. Some war hero gear looks tailored for focus. The only thing I diagree with is increasing cooldown for force sweep (but that's why singularity lasts longer), and slash. A skill which benefits focus attacks or blade storm (other than momentum) would be nice. And for anyone using slash, how is it?

sometimes i just move for no reason; then i regret it...

Wasn't sure where to post this.. but anyways, using the security code fleet passes and then moving while it's still activating will wipe that pass and you can't get it back. I know this isn't a huge deal, but shouldn't it work the same as the normal fleet pass, or even the quick travel?

Will there be more music choices to choose from the jukebox? Those beats are fresh!
