Yeah I know what you mean. My artificer cant sell most of the items I make because they are bind on equip or useless because they have no value in the game and cost huge amounts of 100k+ items to produce to maybe crit on for an item that is only graphically different from a same custom augged saber. I used to be able to sell my 22 hilts for 60k a pop. Then the mergers dropped my hilts to 37k which they are not selling now. Then 1.3 came out and my hilts practically all returned all like 80 of them unsold and now the prices are about 23k. What are they going to be next week 6k? It costs me 24k just to make them. As of today, I can't even break even. Im thinking of just dumping the skill and all the like 800k Ive spent on it to max it out and getting another skill because this one is absolutely useless now.

I know sometimes I forget to take the jump shortcut there.

If you have the required social level such as dromundkass is lvl 1 social armor, you can just equip it. There are no set effects to the armor. 1.3 now makes the social armor change to your primary armor type instead of being light armor. Id recommend getting the social 1 armor and getting the planetary comms from missions and buying mods with them and putting them in your armor. You can also change the color of your social armor by switching out the chest piece for a colored one.

Space missions are quick exp. If your companions affection is low you could try buying a few gifts on the fleet if you have the money because their affection given quests give you some exp. Pvp is an easy way to exp. Since you have group finder now, you could run flash points for a bit. If you can stealth, you'll find that you can skip a lot of class missions and level up without actually having to fight anyone. Even if you cant stealth, you can run through a lot of enemies and reach the objective. Group up with someone to do class missions if youre having difficulty. You won't be able to do this for long because about 6 levels past the enemies will just about 1 shot you, but it can help to get you that little exp you need to level and actually start playing the game again. You can also go to alot of the higher level planets except quesh I think and just walk around carefully and discover parts of the planet map to get some bonus exp for doing nothing.

Dots not working just takes healers and other classes out of the game for stopping someone capping. We have what 1 instant attack other then dots and all the rest are charges which could screw us out of stopping someone capping. Heck the dots themselves have like a 3 second activation time. Its kind of unfair to force us to have to aoe for like 15% of mana just to stop you when you push it again and again and again while all the other classes can just leap or shoot you over and over forever. I guess we could hit you with our saber for like 40 damage but then youll just rip us apart that close in like 3 seconds and then cap the node every time. Even then, we'd actually have to run all the way to stand right next to you to hit you.

I think this is the reason behind the you must play 10 games before you are ranked thing. I think the biggest problem comes from bioware releasing warhero prematurely which forced normal human beings to play ranked against no lifers in full war hero that mindlessly grinded the entire set for like 2,000 hours when they werent really supposed too and I think this is really going to throw off ranked games. A lot of the games we played we came really close to winning since we seemed to be better players and had higher numbers, but we were simply outgeared against people with full war hero and augments on top of it. Felt kind of hopeless with most of our team being in almost full battlemaster capping stuff over and over and then just getting dpsed into the ground and have it taken back.

I think it should work this way, if I was on fire it would kind of stop me from doing complicated bomb/computer programming. I also think dots should break stealthers stealth but it doesn't currently unless they changed it in 1.3.

we already do practically nothing to all the other classes. you shouldn't be fighting other healers anyways. I usually try and stun and then cc them and leave them there stranded while I outheal him and use that time to try and crush everyone else through superior healing. If anything I think sorc/sage are kinda underpowered because their cast is so long and they get completely shutdown with an interrupt or two.

Like I said, I honestly don't really think it matters because most of my spells are long charges and it doesn't really matter if I click or not and I like my hand on my mouse so I can rotate my camera to watch my surroundings more and place ideal heals rather then focus on one screen full. Also casting aoe requires the mouse as far as I know so usually I have my hand on the mouse to cast that spell and its just more convenient then trying to shift click one handed.

I usually end up clicking a lot of the time because I'm not stationary long enough to take my hand off my mouse cause i'm usually not shielded and its faster to be able to click on someone then try and tab through them. It just depends on the situation really or if I really care about concentrating alot. Seems to work for me just fine. Im not even in full battlemaster and the first match I outhealed the enemy healer by 200k and our 2nd healer by 100k and was 41-3. Then in the second one I was 3rd place by 75k and 1st by 150k. Then our top damage for that second round was 389k and the other team was 800k and 600k. I don't think I do that bad a job for someone who occasionally clicks. Usually what you are seeing is my mouse hand clicking one ability and my other hand is hovering over another spell so I can click with my mouse and click spells with the other but still have the ability to use the mouse if I need too rather then abandoning the mouse and having both hands spellcasting. I usually always use both hands in pve though but thats because I dont get attacked or have to relocate or retaliate like I do in pvp.

Yeah usually my sorc healer gets interrupted and then interrupted and then interrupted and interrupted and interrupted and then I die.

Ive played like two months 50 pvp now and im in battlemaster more or less and Ive only met 1 person in a 1v1 that ive been able to stalemate healing myself so he couldn't kill me. Every other time I've ever engaged with someone 1v1 I've died if I couldn't stun and run frantically away, but then I usually get pulled back or leaped too and I die. In below 50 pvp I could almost stalemate everyone where 2 people had to kill me or we just neutralized each other other which in reality was better for the other team since I couldnt aoe heal or bubble. Now in lvl 50 pvp I just play a game of don't bubble myself and hide behind the tree and hope for the best. I feel like im playing battlefield 3 and im a sniper that shoots magical rays of healing and I have to reposition my healing nest all the time.

Wait what? Why is bioware not following their models consistently? If i'm understanding everything right... battlemaster set effect is binded to the pieces themselves and not the mods. So if I take out the mods and put it into something else, the new orange item will not carry over the set effect. But its the opposite in the case of war hero where the set effect is bound to the mods or (just the armor mod?)and you can switch the mods out to some other random orange thing and it will still carry over your war hero set effect? Also that you can buy and use wh gear even though it says on it that it requires valor rank 70 and all the armors in the past required you to be lvl 40 or 20 to buy them which contradicts the original model of 20 and 40 gear. Then finally the real idea of war hero gear is to buy it and rip out the mods and put them into orange gear with augment slots, but in reality I should try and get the war hero gear and wait till 1.3 and then pay to augment my armor rather then paying 100k or whatever it is per mod slot x 14 or however many slots they are. Sorry about being confused. Theres no real place that explains it very well and Bioware keeps changing the way things work and its even different from the PVE gear system.

I'm a little confused on why I would even want to buy warhero or get it crafted. My sorc healer seems to have almost equal stats in some battlemaster pieces with things being like +12 will +10 expertise -20power and others its like -58 crit -52 alacrity for +40 power. Is it because some of the battlemaster stuff is force-master instead of force-mystic? Im thinking its a huge waste of time just to get a 2% stat boost to get like 2000 ranked comms. Also i'm only like lvl 55 pvp. Can I even buy any of this stuff that requires lvl 70 to wear? If not, what the heck do I do with my comms for 15 levels? Thats probably like 15k comms unable to purchase anything. I know all the other stuff was lvl capped from purchase. I havent't done the math, but it seems to me that it might be more cost effective to buy battlemaster parts and replace the force master versions with mods from other battlemaster force mystic pieces for like 1500 comms intead of trying to get the 2500 ranked comms.

both caps were 2k wz to merc was 3 to 1 then the exchange rate was 1 to1 merc giving me 1 to 1 when I originally spent 3 to get 1 merc meaning it should have been exchanged 1 merc gives 3 wz

Nobody knows how to tank or heal because they actually require thinking beyond push the button until it dies.

yeah...everyone else got like 2 medals and a lose while I got 7 sitting healing myself on the node. I can see where dps and tank would actually profit from continuing fighting, as a healer I have to actually be alive to heal and get points and have friendlies that are alive to heal to also get points. If I spend a minute walking and sitting in spawn behind a gate and 6 seconds being alive before I get ripped to shreds, Id get no points and have wasted the past 20 minutes doing nothing.

I usually farm medals because we always lose. I usually start the match with 10% hp and pop my relics and my crit spell and my other crit spell and hit a 5k heal which gives me two medals. Then I heal people and throw some dots on people here and there and try and find a place where I can just sit and defend and heal myself since 90% of the time we lose anyways might as well get my 8 medals. I just have to watch 1-3 spawn waves and I know whos going to win and just go get medals. No sense in trying when I see half the team run in 1 at a time into groups of pubs to get insta-ganked and try to heal them so I can just get ganked myself. I'd rather get what crappy points I can for losing then be some "well shucks we tried our best" schmuck with no wz comms. Edit: Also since people just randomly click the mvp button like frantic monkeys instead of picking people that did the most in something mvp is broken too. Also I dont think mvp helps you anyways. Win Lose mpv stats dont help at all if I remember right. Doesnt get you gear. Doesnt lower gear required levels. Doesnt get you higher pvp rank levels to get gear. You get a big bunch of nothing. So whats the point of even bothering?

Hello, I play a healer and I can tell you on my server the tank protection is almost always zero. They usually always wander around randomly and fight people like they are a dps and they get out of my aoe and leave me if they guard me at all which is almost never. I might get guarded if I put the shield icon on myself or something but still it really doesnt help. You could tank much better if you stayed with me and protected me so I can do my job of healing everyone and you and keeping you and the entire team alive. You are not a dps. Please stop trying to be a dps and use your attacks to move the ball or to move enemies away etc. Please carry the ball like you are supposed to and stay near me so I can heal you and pull you with my friendly force pull. Also stop running into battle before I throw my aoe down for you to stand in and before I bubble people and before I have even 1/4 of my mana back from having to heal you non-stop. Its not that hard. Tanks that don't prot, you are bad and please uninstall and/or stop being so useless. Here is a picture of my tank when it was like lvl 33 and had 0 expertise. http://imgur.com/HJ0io Also this: http://imgur.com/QCqzl

Yeah on my server for imps we lose practically every game. I usually outheal their healer (sometimes by even 200k!) and we still lose. Usually its a ratio of like 1 win to 5 losses. Not even close losses. More like 0-6 huttball losses. Im in about 3/4 battlemaster and most of the time I outheal the healers in warhero. We still lose the game though and Im forced to have to grind and grind and grind like 4 times as much as the repubs because my teammates suck. I swear to god if they screw me over on the ranked comms like they did with the mercs I will stop playing this game and Im sure a lot of other people will too. I will not grind through something to get 6k wz comms to turn into 2k mercs that I couldnt even use to buy anything back then until I reached lvl 50 and once I did SURPRISE they took out mercs like 3 days before I got to 50 and I got to trade them back in for a wonderful 1k wz and got stuck in recruit armor and had to grind all over again losing 5k wz in the transfer. If they do that with the ranked wz comms I say we all just quit. Also despite being screwed over, I still am practically at full battlemaster. I think I have like 1900 comms right now and Im only at 55 rank in pvp and I cant buy any warhero gear and I have no idea what to do now.

^this all it takes is a: "hey steve pull up the page and type in we need to fix a few more things itll take us about 2 more hours, oh and get me a mocha latte frappachino because boy am I a thirsty programmer!"

Ya honestly I made most of the stuff for my character and didnt spent much money I also bought gifts for their companion and got them up to 5000 and I made the money back in like 3 days and I dont run dailies or anything special. My lightsaber for example is a lvl 15 and all the mods in it are purples except one which was lvl 7 and the other was lvl 11 and my lightsaber and the super awesome legacy one that doesnt level or anything was +2 str and +3 end more. So its somewhere between a full purple and an blue item at lvl 15. Then once you get to lvl 19 you can replace almost all the piece and at 20 you can get an augment saber and that special legacy saber is garbage. Please do not spend commendations on this stuff. By the way this is only my second char and between the two my /played time is like 15 days or about 360 game hours. Im hardly some l33t pro.

nice find Krelos

I havent been able to have a head piece for weeks now since 1.2 and youre all sad cause you have to wear a hood. lol
