Sorry to hear it. I always had fun running with you guys.

How much crit do we want after 3.1.2? Or do we still want 600+?

Looking forward to checking it out, thanks for the hard work.

If it doesn't make them money, ala ops bugs, loot tables, etc, they either take a very long time to address the issue or never address them. Whereas, anything involving the CM ala, slot machines, appearance issue with cartel market items, etc, they seem to do anything possible to get the issue addressed ASAP, because it makes them money.

I thought my 500 crit was high, I guess i need to test more crit and see results. My best so far is 4400+ with 37 apm's, using new 2 piece set bonus and old 4 piece (even though its crappy for assault) and still mostly 186 crappy mods. been gearing up my tank instead of dps lately.

If I'm not mistaken, their gear they had with those parses was nearly Full BiS 198's.

As Kwerty hinted at, the bug is related to having companions on crew skills. Been a bug since they added the mods for the training dummy. I no longer send companions out when parsing because this bug is very annoying. Bioware please fix this.

Nice guide. I will say i was a bit skeptical when i first looked at the rotation, but then i thought about it further and it started making sense, plus that fact that it was written by Fascinate and Mari. Both of you know what you are talking about. Your rotation is way different then what i was doing. My rotation looked something like this: Opener: TD > EN > IR > SC > MS > SB > Power surge + PS MS > PS > PS > PS > PS Rotation: MS > [AP > IR > PS] > PS MS > SS > {TSO+UL} > PS In the rotation i ended up putting a Rapid shots in the first block in place of the first PS. Needed to shuffle AP and IR with that to compensate for heat. The second block is where full auto ended up, but sometimes depending on heat I had to change that up a bit. I know my rotation isn't perfect but it worked and i was able to use pretty much everything on CD. Thanks for putting your time into this.

It's probably a case where it was tested on PTS, but somehow bugs and whatnot somehow found a way to get live. Kinda like the revan fight. This needs to be addressed. 16man is much more punishing but much more rewarding. But right now its not even worth it.

Were you guys able to do 16 man testing on PTS by chance or anyone for that matter? Did 16m for the first time last night, and it was completely FUBAR.

Awesome!!! If i remember correctly, Odawgg used that simulator a lot. And it ended up paying off.

If it doesnt proc because of a off hand miss, then that is a bug.

In PVE, if your accuracy is where it is supposed to be, the ability should not miss/parried. In PVP, if you miss with the ability, get more accuracy. Not that hard...

Looking forward to it. Thanks for the hard work

If only Mercs had an ability called Jet Boost, That would be OP...

Anyone planning on making a new thread for commando/mrec dps when 3.0 drops?

Awesome Job guys!!!

The biggest difference with new gunnery/arsenal is the increased mobility, which imo is very nice addition. Sure dps is still lacking compared to other specs, but it is still viable and energy managements is ez pz. At first i was a little concerned with priming shot, but after testing i realized that is a pretty good addition, plus that fact that it hits pretty hard. 3 instant abilities that can each hit for over 10k is pretty good (priming shot, demo round, High impact bolt).

The problem with this is, gear doesnt mean someone is competent with HM ops. Any dummy can get geared in full 180s without stepping foot in HM's. So you will essentially get a bunch of people que'd for HM's that have never been there, know what they are doing, let along know how to play their class properly.

As for cell charger, it looks on Reddit that we are keeping this talent except it will be regan like vanguards. This is reddit tho and may not be correct.

This is the guide you want to look at: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=624205 Commando translation in the section below Merc's version. Here is the standard spec with a couple points that could be shifted: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#800Mc0zZrfcRrdokfbsZs.3 Dulfy's guide isnt great nor are any of the class guides there.

It depends on how much alacrity is gonna decrease ICD. Also according to datamine, the proc is gonna be 8 seconds rather than 6

I would say that is pretty good. Some may disagree, because pizzadahutt hit like 3700 in 180 i think. Your best is pretty close to the best that i have hit in that spec. Not many parse in that spec since its generally a bad parsing spec, so its kinda hard to gauge where people are at. WTB torparse.com

What are they breaking?

Currently Assault must be better with higher ms. My ms runs between 30-60 and i miss procs all the time using optimal rotations. Stupid Alacrity. I'm looking forward to the changes for mando dps.
