En-ger-land! En-ger-land! There are a fair few Brits AFAIK. The latest influx of f2p appear to largely be Russian, from what I've seen so far on my low level alts.

A refurbished Toshiba Satellite 850-138P. It has a 2.3ghz i3, 8gb RAM, and a 2gb nVidia 630M and it runs like a dream.

Question. Are we allowed to do this on personal ship dummy if purchased? Or is it on the Ziost/Rep dummy so everyone gets their fair share of fleet lag?

Thanks for the tips. I can easily make the tradeoff with crit using mods, and should get down to ~409 rating and up to ~710 power. In terms of reducing accuracy, what would you suggest? I'm currently not talented for accuracy, meaning I can't drop it my skill tree, and there isn't a enhancement that would allow me to drop Accuracy straight up for power - should I take the hit and get more crit/surge enhancements? Regarding rotations, I'm interested in why you choose to start with OS or leave it until the first Cull is over (reasoning etc.) I've always heard it called as: CG -> SS -> CD -> OS -> WB -> Cull -> SoS -> filler, mainly Ambush/Rifle/EP -> WB, Cull, reapply dots as required, rinse and repeat.

Hiya forum. I'm a relatively experienced lethality sniper (played since April) with a full range of experience under my belt, bar parts of EC/TFB HM. Basically, I've got a good level of gear - all 61 except my gun barrels, including custom bracers - but I have the distinct feeling that my DPS might be underperforming. On Zorn+Toth HM I'm only pulling about 1350 DPS - is this low? Or high? That's including the mob at the end of the fight. EV/KP HM is different, but on some fights I'm still only getting to 1500 - even tank and spank ones like Bonethrasher is, to an extent. I don't really know my exact numbers, so I have an AMR link and a parse I've done on the training dummy: http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/b8b90c70-314d-4058-9b8e-d3cfafb4ae63 - AMR link http://www.torparse.com/a/67770 - Parse. Second fight is better, and remember the last 10-20 seconds aren't representative (weak dart dropoff). So yeah, managing 2000 early DPS and then 1900, before it drops to 1800 and slowly starts decreasing throughout. Any tips? I've had a bit of a balancing act really as my power was seriously low and my crit was approaching 45% - so I've reduced to 42.55 and my power up to 705. I'm looking to spend on decking out in (63) throughout my armor soon so this is a good opportunity to rebalance. Thanks!

The rules state all of that is fine; it's outside influence that isn't. Over a 5 minute period, starting yourself with Bloodthirst/Zen isn't going to make all that much of a diff.

I wouldn't hold out for it. I spent years trying to get the name 'Scipio' on WoW to no avail. Then again you might be lucky. Who knows?

Good luck. Don't know why you are so attached to the name, especially considering that it's hardly imaginative.

My personal advice for levelling is Engineering or an MM/Eng build. But mainly engineering. When you think of those packs of weaks/normals with a single strong, it works a charm; pop down a grenade and plasma probe and then single target DPS the strongest enemy. Also, the survivability and utility talents in the tree are excellent. I would still play Eng in 50 HM ops if it was viable with my gear setup and could, in general, scale against Leth. NB: None of this is relevant for PvP. I did very little PvP levelling.

As a PvE lethality sniper with balanced crit and power (about 40% buffed and 600 odd power) my single hits aren't that big - just over 6k for an Ambush - but I've seen my WB-enhanced Cull do an absolute truckload of damage, which is always fun.

Update for Order of Midnight: EC HM: 1/4 TFB SM: 5/5

Yeah I realised that and looked first - there's no Imp crafters for these items on there.

Hello, just wondering if anyone can craft: http://www.torhead.com/item/1w9Y55N/advanced-keen-mod-26 http://www.torhead.com/item/8tEYUpe/advanced-adept-enhancement-26 Will provide mats or pay for a final craft and charge (if reasonable). Cheers! Contact 'Einama' ingame.

Someone stayed up late and is narky today.

Well I don't tend to look at my trash DPS fullstop as it isn't what's important in a raid. Thanks for the tips, going to spend my BH comms accordingly. I knew about the mechanic (crit = energy return) but didn't realise just how important it would be - there tends to be a blanket holy grail of 35% crit from everywhere I've heard. EDIT: The 99.5-100% accuracy is for basic ranged attacks, correct? Again, may sound slightly stupid, as my tech accuracy is 108% or something.

Yeah I noticed the accuracy was an issue cause I was getting misses on Cull, I'm working on that as the credits come in - crit I still don't understand, I thought there was somewhat of a buffer at 35% with Coordination?

Hi, I've not had the opportunity to do EC or EC HM until recently so have been spending a lot of time and credits into getting my gear in a good place, researching a good tree and rotation etc. I heard the stats of 35% crit, 75% multiplier a lot, in addition to seeing a post on another thread here advising that, for BH gear, you only go for Hands, Legs and Mender's Boots. So I've managed to get myself to that point with Adept Enhancements. My AMR: http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/b8b90c70-314d-4058-9b8e-d3cfafb4ae63 I'm just wondering where to go from here? Future gear will only increase my Surge and the diminishing returns are horrid over 200 points (I already have 300 odd). Thanks for any advice.
