Thanks all for the help. Going to start running EC HM and TFB SM more to get more campaign and bh gear as well as learn the mechanics better for TFB.

.....

Where are the dummies? And that doesn't really answer the question, what kind of operation drops 61/63 rank gear? Thats what I want to be running full ops on.

I have a sniper, full rakata with some bh. My Character. I have done full TFB SM, EC SM comm runs, EV/KP SM and HM full runs. How do I begin getting DG gear? And am I geared enough to begin HM TFB and NM EV/KP? This is my first 50 so I don't know how it works. Thanks

I will put the next point in there, but as I am almost at level 26 I will wait until I level up.

Yes, thanks for clearing that up. I didn't know what it meant either, but just went with it instead of the AoE damage boosts since we don't get those until lvl 35+

updated skill tree Like this?

Sorry, link didn't work. Sith Sorcerer skill tree

Hey all. Quick question. How do you manage force the best way possible? I have a level 25 Sorc, and keep having trouble with running out of force 2-3 minutes into fights in flashpoints and difficult heroic 4 missions. I have tried using consumption to offset my health and force a little bit, but the time spend healing myself so I don't squish makes the tiny amount of force gained basically worthless. Anyone have any advice? On the other hand, whats the best strategy for PvP for a corruption sorc? Here's a link to my current skill tree. http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/skills/sorcerer#2k8-f-10 Thanks for helping.

So I am almost lvl 50 and just got Armstech to 400. Where do you get schematics besides Investigation? I have never gotten one except from there and my trainer. I am a sniper class and have only just been able to craft gear for my companions and me. I also have never been able to RE something that I didn't make. Do you have to have a certain type of gear to do that or is it not true. Thanks for the help.

Thanks to all for helping me with this. I have finally figured out the PvP, and am now getting 6-10 WZ medals a match. I have figured out credits(Buy the packs from the cartel market every month and sell for 300k a pop. Rinse and Repeat.=), and have started to move a lot faster thru FPs, WZs and the Story. I really appreciate these comments.

I am pretty well geared, but I don't have instant snipe. I think it just uses to much energy to fast. I did manage to get 17 kills yesterday on pvp though using these tips.

Number of characters: 1 Skill level: Beginner Character name and level: Bmadojo, 39 Class: Imperial Sniper Level of hermitude: 0 Mike: No, but might get one after X-mas Activity level: Depends, could be on 3-4 times a week for 2-3 hours each, or it could be once a week for 2-3 hours. I'll do PvP, PvE or anything else I'm asked. I have decent gear. PM if interested.

I'm an idiot lol. Forgot to mention was looking for empire guild, unless it doesn't really matter. If I decide to roll a republic toon then I will remember your guild.

I'm looking for a guild to join. I have a level 39 sniper with decent gear, mostly orange customizable's with the best mods I could make/buy. I mainly do PvE and Flashpoints but I will do PvP if it is with my guild members. THis is my only character so I don't know much. Guild Req's : Friendly, willing to help with Heroics, FPs, crafting etc....... I am trying to find a guild that is willing to answer questions and help me get a better understanding of how the game works. I have Armstech in the 150s, Scavenging 300s and Investigation 340s. I will be willing to assist with mods and weapons to guild members. My schedule is varied, I am usually on 2-3 hours each time but I could be on 4 times in one week or not on for 3-4 weeks. I am on most often on weekends and holidays but sometimes during the school week. If you want more info, reply here or mail me in-game.

Is this only for 50s?

I tried this and few questions. Takedown is only useable on targets at or below 30% max health, so I can normally only use it multiple times against either herioc bosses or a WB. I don't have Orbital Strike yet, i think that is something you get in the high lvl 40s, around 48-49. I tried shatter shot first and that helped, gave me an extra 2-3 hundred dmg. I have never been very good with doing any keybinds, I only have X,C,F,G and V for very basic stuff but I click on the rest. Once I get to 50 with my sniper I think I will do an Assassin or Juggernaut to try to understand how a Melee player does pvp, but that won't be for a while unless I get very good overnight. I might try respeccing as an Engineer, but it sounds complicated. Thanks for the help.

This is my first thread ever, so bear with me. I have been playing SW:TOR for about 6 months now and have a LVL 39 Sniper. I have a Marksmanship build with all my points in that tree except for maxed Gearhead and Lethality boxes. This is my first MMORPG game, so I'm just cruising along with it all. I've read a bunch of different forums, but still have questions. I have trouble every time I do PVP, but I solo all my quests and most Heroics with my companion. I know about what stats are important, and energy lvls, and I can get more than 5-6k damage in less than 15 seconds yet I only manage to get 1-2 of the badges and 5-10k exp. And If anyone has some good credit making tips for that lvl I would appreciate those as I am always broke and only get credits by grinding. I am on Quesh. I normally for pvp go after entering cover: Entrench, Ambush, Shatter Shot, Rifle Shots, Laze Target, Snipe, Ambush, Takedown. That normally will kill a 6-8k lvl 38 elite and if I add series of shots, explosive probe and the needle thing that does internal damage in the beginning of those then it does an extra 2-4k damage. I'm always several lvls higher than the planet, and thats without out pvping or doing flashpoints(which can I solo most of the ones my lvl or lower.)
