Very useful info. Thanks. How squishy is the class (as dps)? I notice they wear heavy armor. And Pyrotech does sound better than Firebug. Good change on BioWare's part!

Hi. I'm researching a class to suggest to my brother (who does not yet own the game) and want to know how similar the Advanced Prototype and/or Firebug playstyles are to the World of Warcraft Destruction Warlock. I am specifically not suggesting a Mercenary, because he does not want a class that has even the remote possibility of healing. And he does like tanking as an off-spec. Also, the group we'll be running with already has an Inquisitor Assassin (me) and an Operative Medic. Thanks.

Awesome. I currently don't use it, so I'm fine keeping with my Thrashing. Thanks.

As for crew skills I'm Artifice - Archaeology - Treasure Hunting.

Good to know, thanks!

I'm currently a level 43 Madness Assassin about to start Quesh (yep, I know, fail being so high level for that zone). And I just made my first Light Side decision. I just happened to agree with that particular choice more. My question is, whether there is any purpose to having 0 Light Side points if I can still reach Dark Side V by the end of my questing? Did I just mess up? I'm something like Light Side 150 / Dark Side 8,000.

For us non-dual wield classes (Madness Assassin), should we aim for 100% on specials or non-specials too?

Even with a Madness Assassin that takes the 3/3 Duplicity skill? Been wondering...hmm.

My Madness spec doesn't include Maul either. Good to know I'm not alone.

Thanks! 100% of what? I'm not in-game right now and don't remember the UI exactly.

What are some basic rules on when to gear for accuracy? Prior MMO knowledge led me to mess with it on companions who dual-wield (Andronikos Revel), but don't really know what I'm doing.

OK, cool. Wasn't sure if it gets locked in once you hit 10,000. In that case, I'll make sure to never have Khem out when I get quests.

I just got Khem Val to 10,000 affection (yay). If I have him out for quests and such, can it go down, or is it set to 10,000 permanently?

As much as it's sometimes a downer reading these negative posts, part of me thinks that BioWare leverages the information for their game design. But how much of an impact does forum QQ make? 20%? Where would the game be without forum QQ? Obviously I can only speculate since I don't work for BioWare. And I don't work for a video game company. Maybe one of you have and knows what really goes on.

That could be cool. My original post's purpose was not an attempt to get more credits. It was more an attempt to have rested XP do something else that would be cool, since I do not need rested XP. My suggestion defaulted to credits because that's what WoW did at max level when you completed a quest - you got gold. On a side note, what happens to the exp at max level here when you do a normal quest? Does it get converted to credits?

Who said they weren't doing their class quest?

Before WoW, I always played single-player RPGs as a thief. I wanted a return to that, hence the assassin. I was a tank and healer in WoW for five years and miss it a bunch though.

Every healer I meet in-game says they enjoyed leveling with a healing spec and that it wasn't terrible like in WoW (at first). How is it? Do companions make it very doable? Obviously leveling as a dps spec is easier at times, so there's no need to mention that.

Been wondering this too. Is it something like crit until x% self-buffed, and then switch to power?

How do you watch 'em? If you had to sit down and watch all six episodes again, perhaps with someone who has not seen them all yet or only some of them, in what order would you show them the series, and why?! Imagine it's maybe your kids or gf/wife for the first time.

This bugs me a whole lot too. Please implement!

Y'know what, WoW had messed up stats on items at one point also. Blizzard eventually cleaned this all up. I hope BioWare does the same eventually.

Actually, that's not at all what I was proposing. But I like it! I simply meant if you have 80,000 rested experience, that there be an option to convert that into 80,000 credits (or some non-OP math).

Cool, thanks.

I got nothing. But I liked how in WoW once you hit max level and did a quest, instead of giving you experience you got gold. Similar idea here. BioWare's smart enough to figure out a way to do it without having people abuse it.
