at least 5 levels out of my 12 I didn't get single piece of gear.

minor spoiler.,

Inquisitor - sorcerer I keep getting guns. the entire system is horrible,

set your companion as tank?

what? are we playing the same class? ok I'll try to explain what I'm doing on my sorc in pvp and then perhaps we can help each other. I used to be an healer in 4.0 now with no group content I'm just madness dps. the self heals and aoe damage is great for me when I solo stuff. __________________________________________ ok first of all I start by having the bubble up all the time. using the utilities it's mini saber reflect and even ranged attacks are somewhat reflected back doing some damage. when you are focused by a group in pvp you can combine normal bubble and barrier so you are both invincible and dishing damage and heal yourself. also set phase walk in advance once the barrier is out phase out. I start my rotation with affliction > creeping terror. now make sure you set it on someone in the middle of the group with 50%+ health. now pop recklesness > polarity shift > and UNLIMITED POWAH! (if you can). buff set quickly double tap Death Field. it's great for three reasons: 1. per usual all enemies will get your dots if they are hit. if creeping terror is on same enemy as affliction it does more damage. 2. new affect you have 50% chance of extra internal AOE damage for each enemy hit. so more they are the bigger damage you do. 3. heals you next while our buffs up pick up on of the juicy targets like the healr or the sniper\merc shooting at you by now spam force lightning and toss on him Demolish. juicy damage and extra debuff. now if you can stay still do it if not move a bit, toss CC or push and next use Leech Life. with all the debuffs and our buffs it will hit now like a truck. everything should be on CD now so spam force lightning and use lightning strike on proc. when you see death field closing to be ready again start the rotation over. key parts are: Dots > everything else. Filler > force lightning + lightning strike. Defensive > use bubble with utility at all times, set phase walk and if you are focused by 4-5 people use barrier. healing > when I need extra heals unnatural preservation with the 2 utilities heals more and gives you more defense for few moments.

dude, put your e-peen back in your pants. I pvp since 2012 on multiple classes.

I really forgot about DvL system. from what I gathered you get the tokens when you get the GC crates. so in general its slow. also there is a problem with most servers going light side all the time.

SHOO! BAD TROLL!!! Go back under your bridge. in more serious note, before 5.0 I could either do content and get gear for it (for crystals) or play end game pve such as ops and get tokens or the gear itself. it was better because I was assured I get something in the end. with this RNG I may never get anything useful. so far 11 ranks and only junk.. single earpiece and that's it.

was 80-90% identical to Jack from mass effect. even same tattoos and shaved head.

Decided to give this "eternal grind" a chance and see how its going. rank 11 so far on my sorcerer and oh boy it's horribad. only got earpiece and random junk items like rank 5 gifts and green jawa junk. was lucky to get few schematics but non of them useful for me. so far after inspecting in depth the activities of the game it seems the only reason to play anything is to get your GC rank up, and you generally bother to level it up for the random loot box with slim chance of set bonus. so few problems, 1. The CXP gain is slow, you need a significant amount per level and most activities including operations grants minor increase. 2. The loot boxes gives useless rewards. from gear it turned into mix of everything which does not help us. 3. Another thing I noticed is rank 10 slicing have no lockbox missions. Clarification: rank 1-9 when I wanted to craft something I would run lockbox missions for mission discovery rewards which I'd use on my crafting alts to get purple mats. with those I've crafted gear. Now I need manually run loads of crafting missions or compete with others for world crafting nodes. you can already see the prices on gtn (TRE) which are inflated beyoned belief. I just solt fricking mk-10 kit for 300 k . it take less time to craft it yourself then purchase it for 300 k I was amazed. _________________________________________________ But there was a change. you see, one LOSING WZ grants you around 500 CXP. you win and get medals? you get even more. many wz this days are arena based and takes like 5 minutes - add to it the massive reward from 2 dailies and weeklies and you got massive CXP income which have no parallel in the game. Then you get the change to ranked. without expertiese and the fact no one have gear or can get proper gear it's easier to queue into ranked this days. Another change I've noticed is: 1. you no longer need to win to advance your ranked daily\weekly. 2. they added group and solo ranked weekly\daily so double mission rewards! 3. daily\weekly grants random loot box with items - someone on TRE got schem for 46 mod from it. now consider that the ranked WZ iirc are only arena, and that they grant 600-800 CXP per run + the weekly\daily reward and you got one single activity which is unbalanced compared to the other activities in the game. or does it? I thought that gainin CXP will be faster and that gaining GC levels will be fast for at least 20-50 levels before it will start crawling like a snail. but if you do pvp it gets a decent increase compared to everything else. parheps increase in CXP gains should be a mandatory fixed? ______________________________________________________________________ The summary f this issue is, 1. right now the only objective is to raise your GC rank to get a slim chance at the new set bonus for some feeling of a carrot (though there is no reason to gear at all). 2. Only sane activity is PVP - everything else not worth the time. 3. for money and gearing they ruined pretty much everything and only viable option I see is to craft ourselves gear for level 70 and live with it. RNG is horrible, the CXP gains are borderline trolling and the one which came up with this system should feel bad with himself. I practically log in and have no will to do anything.

how about alacrity? I'm playing sorc madness since 5.0 came out. I like the healing I get and the dot spread. plus the many debuffs I can place. on WZ I pull nearly around 3 million damage so far per zone but might be the waves of new pvper. on pve I find myself always around 50% energy...

exactly. that's it. nothing more to it. back to heroics grind to get cartel items from gtn.

just want to be sure which augments to place on my gear

iirc in 4.0 it was 110% accuracy and then hoard crit?

so first of all to make sure, rank 45 augments are highest level ones right? second, what is stat priority in 5.0? still critical for dps\healers? or back to main stat? for dps how much accuracy needed?

I used to get missions discovery from slicing but now slicing lacking rank 10 lockbox missions. how do we get mission discovery for rank 10 crafting now? edit: ok I asked someone who sold mission discovery 10 on gtn it seems he got it on a node in zakuul. if there is no way to get those from companions missions it will sucks badly.

well I thought about doin that as well. we might need to use crafted gear though. 80 % of GC crates I got was empty orange gear which was not even legacy bound. so to get bare minimum level 70 gear we'll probably have to craft.

played the story, was nice. then I took my time to travel around see what's new. basically mother of all grindfests, the GC system is horrible. while in previous versions of the game I had to do certain activities to get certain rewards now it's just credits vendors for half the stuff instead of com's. Then the rng.. oh boy... it's horrible. just lost interest within one hour after finishing the story chapters.

1 purple level 70 earpiece. rest is junk. pure junk like empty orange gear which is ugly. not even legacy bound. got 2 schematics as well.

from past experience I bet if you were subbed on the 25th of October and on 27 of November you'll get the early access. I don't have faith that Bioware can properly program a way to notice the difference.

Because he's Batman!

There is the achievement mission for the speeder, where you need to kill number of world bosses several times. I have it since it was released on my journal... it gets reset with each expansion.

well... first I'm sith pureblood. so punish. can't *****slap her enough. also I pray they allow for slave outfit.

didn't worked for me. but screw it it was cheaper to get time card then their recurring subscription prices so in overall account I got more then 1 free month.
