Do the two pvp dailies every day and the weeklys and it will help you gear up pretty fast. I've been 50 for a week and have full centurion gear and two pieces of champion gear, almost a 3rd. You get a ton of commendations from the bags and a nice smattering of credits to boot

Nice stream; she interacts well with the audience

Wait, what? You can obliterate someone that is in cover? I haven't used this ability very much so I have never had a chance to test this, but that would make it a lot more useful.

Sadly, most of the people you are talking about don't read forums though :/

Have you literally tried everything? Like using every ability, including using saber ward and when it falls off using your 20 minute call on the force cooldown and using it again? I always use Quinn for everything just because I personally like the healing, but I don't think it matters that much. A lot of people like to use Jaesa or Vette because the increased DPS makes up for the time you have to spend channeling hatred at the end of the fight. Could you post more details about what exactly is causing you trouble and what you have tried so far? Please also post some information about your spec and level too

You get something like over 1000 damage in by only sacrificing maybe half of a GCD though? If the animation for annihilate takes X seconds to perform, you spend 1.5 seconds on the GCD for ravage but save X seconds by not having to perform the annihilate animation, thus getting the first two hits of ravage damage in trade for 1.5-X seconds of time. Now if only we knew what X was, we could calculate the DPS for the first two hits of ravage... Assuming my logic is correct.

If you have retaliation available, think about using assault+retaliation at the same time. Takes the same GCD as vicious slash does, but only results in a net 1 loss of rage rather than 2 and does more damage than a vicious slash will do. The only cases in which I wouldn't use assault+retaliation are obviously when retaliation isn't available and when my rupture cooldown wasn't reset from my annihilate.

Yeah I have been always cancelling my ravage into annihilates in pvp and pve when i found out about this, but I noticed in kiba's guide he didn't mention it. I mainly want to see if people know about this and to discuss the pros/cons of using 2 hits of ravage into annihilate VS not using ravage at all.

Everyone knows that Ravage feels slow and is hard to fit in anywhere, but since the first two hits occur quickly and the final blow from the 3 second channel comes at the very end, why not always chain a ravage into an annihilate? The startup animation for annihilate (I haven't actually done any timing of this) seems to be very long, and you can skip that startup time by casting annihilate out of ravage. If you start to cast ravage and then mash annihilate, you will get the first two hits of ravage off and then immediately annihilate. Would the damage gained from the two hits of a free and otherwise not used ability (ravage) be worth the extra time spent before annihilating? Also if you do it and watch your GCD it seems like you cast annihilate when your GCD sweep is only ~4/5 complete or something... I know it is kind of counter-intuitive to sacrifice the last hit of ravage, but is the damage from the last hit worth the extra time it takes to channel after the first two hits plus the time it takes for the annihilation startup animation?

Why? Yes, VS costs the same as retaliation, but it returns 1 rage and also has a 33% chance of resetting your rupture cooldown. Your annihilate has a 66% chance of resetting rupture, which means a decent amount of the time you won't be able to piggyback your ruptures by using annihilate, and throwing a VS in there to add another chance to get your rupture back, I would imagine, would lead to a potential dps increase over choosing retaliation. I could see using it though if your annihilate successfully reset your rupture cooldown, because then you could just perform an assault at the same time. You would get 1 more net rage by using retaliation+assault instead of VS, plus it should do more damage. Huh, I never thought to try that O.o
