Well.. I know this question has been asked many of times, but with all the updates and my lack of knowledge, I'm going to have to ask it again, sorry! Anyhow, I'm back after 11 months or so of being gone.. I quit right before The Rise of the Hutt Cartel. So, I don't remember anything. With the tree's being reset, I forgot which Tree I used before.. and I'm having to contemplate on which to try now. Since there's so many changes,, I'm not sure what to go with. I ONLY PvP, so disregard anything that would help someone in a PvE situation. I suppose I'm looking for the easiest one to play now since I'm just getting back in to it.. I've forgotten how to fight all together and it's something I'm going to have to re-teach myself hopefully in the next day or two here. If someone could either list a good tree here or link me to a good build that focuses on this current update, I'd really appreciate it. Oh, and.. I really do prefer DPS over anything, but if you guys think tanking or whatever is better, please let me know. Just that DPS has always been my preference. If something else is far easier or more efficient, I'm not totally against changing though.

Well.. simple as that. I quit right before The Rise of the Hutt Cartel came out. I've done a bit of reading, but perhaps I've missed some.. Just wondering if you guys would be gracious enough to mention a few things here and there that are different, or perhaps things I should expect or make sure to read up on. Currently, I suppose I'm going to have to work from 50 to 55. Anything you guys can tell me to be prepared for since I'm just now coming back, please do!

Thanks! I'll definately go Doc then. Any advice on which War Hero to get Doc? To optimize his healing/survival.. I guess it couldn't hurt to give him a bit of endurance and armor rating to help him survive a bit longer.

So.. My objective with all of my characters starting with my Sentinel is to do my best in out numbered situations with open world PvP. I know it will be quite difficult, but I would love to get to the point where I can take on 3 and 4 people at once, and still take them all down every time. To be honest, I know that would most likely be against people who aren't fully geared, but I'd like to get as close to it as possible. So.. I guess you can say that I wanna be a lone wolf of some sort. I know that you aren't meant to fight alone, and the game works best when working with your team. But I like challenges. So my main question for this is.. As a Sentinel; what companion could most likely suit me best in an outnumbered situation? I'm guessing it's between Doc and Kira. The extra HP from Doc would of course give me a bit more survivability, yet Kira would help me take them down faster.. So my goal is not only to improve myself as a player and with the best possible gear, but to also improve my companion as well as my companion control. (I do know that some PvP areas don't allow companions, that's not a problem, I just want to have the best help possible from my companion when it's applicable) I do plan on gearing my companion very well, of course. I've heard that Presence of course affects your companions stats; but does that presence come in to effect when geared ON the companion or on yourself? Would it be worth it to focus on presence or just get him or her the equivalent of Elite War-Hero once 2.0 comes out? Thanks!

Well. Endgame, lv50 Sentinel. Just working on getting full War Hero Weaponmaster's gear right now. I've made quite a few posts on this matter before but.. here's for a couple more questions. Thanks for the replies I've gotten in the past, you guys have all been very helpful. 1. Is focus dominate in PvP? I have played Watchmen up to lv 40 and then at 40 switched to focus.. Any links to good builds? What are the specs people are getting 1mil dmg with? lol I know it's quite difficult, but I do have my goals. 2. Should I do ALL weaponmaster's gear? I hear that some people switch out certain items for other items. I'm not going for elite warhero. I'm just getting Warhero, and any other similar items for now. Not doing Elite Warhero's because of 2.0, but I would like to still hold my own until then. So if you could let me know what gear to use, I would appreciate it. My whole time as a Sentinel I have gone for Str, then Endurance and nothing else what so ever.. so I haven't experienced any other stats with this character yet. Let me know if any of them are worth it please!

Well. I'm level 50 (Sentinel), currently running all recruit gear with an elite warhero chest piece. I don't care about the fact that 2.0 will be in about a month give or take, I wanna perform the best that I can between now and then. I have a lot of time on my hands and I can catch up to the people saving up quite fast. Any guides? I don't want everyone to just say full elite warhero or anything like that .-. I want a progression guide.. what can I upgrade on the way there; what order to buy the equips in.. stuff like that. Also; are datacrons really that important? I've only gotten like 1 since I started playing, lol. Does it really add up?

Slayers is a newly made guild looking for dedicated, hardcore gamers. Requirement is currently Lv.25+. However, I will strive to make it a 50's guild shortly. I will focus on conducting raids, ops, ranked PvP matches, and more. I have a strong MMO background of 7 years. The guild is currently quite small but growing. The requirement to join will eventually be Lv.40. Maybe 50 depending on how well it goes and how many members we have. I have a raidcall setup (It's like Vent or any of those other voice chat programs, but I think it's better and it's free) If you're interested in joining, just contact me ingame (IGN:) Zephuryz Thanks! Officer spot is still available, as I haven't made my choice yet.

So, I'm level 50. (Jedi Sentinel) People told me that all the fast money making is based at level 50, so here I am after about 11 or 12 days. What are some consistant 200k+/hr or so ways to make money? Do they even really exist? I have searched many of them up on youtube but all of them are like pre 1.2 and from older updates that are now patched.. anyone know any guides or have any tips? would appreciate it xP thanks

Well.. I just reached level 50. I tried to queue for a WZ, waited about half an hour, I assume it's because it was around 4am EST. Group finder doesn't find anything either.. I do a lot of playing at night and solo play.. So theres my biggest problem. Can any of these flashpoints in which give good equips, money or what not at level 50 be soloed by a new lv 50? Whats the best thing to do for solo play? Any guides for 1.7 money making? I'm Artifice. any advice? Would really appreciate it

Actually.. when you hit 50 it gets better. There's more to do. You set equip goals, and getting better at PvP. Once you begin to dominate in PvP and get really good at it; it's fun as hell. Right now you just need to tough it out and level up through questing. Trust me, I hate it too.. But its worth it and it's what you need to do. Around lv 30 you can go back to Warzone more and have an advantage over most of the people. Don't play with rage. Be patience and be smart. You'll get the hang of it. I've been playing less than 2 weeks, and I'm lv 45. If you dedicate yourself, everything will come fast.

Well.. I'm a lv 39 Sentinel. I'm about to become lv 40. I want to prepare for lv 50 pvp gear. I'm just about 100k xp away from level 40, and I almost have the maximum WZ comms. I heard that starting at 40, you can buy the Mercenary Comms or something like that.. So that I can save up more comms. I'm gonna try and buy as much of the mats and gear as I can pre-50. Though I do understand that a large majority of it is from Comms. I have my favorite orange gear which I would like to make my pvp gear.. For what I understand; you're still capable of buying the best PvP gear with comms and then just transfering the mods to your orange gear of choice and still getting the same exact stats. Is this how it works? Can anyone give me a list of the best endgame items and how to get them? I hear that theres paths. Like you have to buy certain armors before others. I'm not really sure how it all works. Any explanations on this would be appreciated. Thanks! A link to an extensive guide of getting endgame PvP gear would be amazing if there's any out there. thanks!

Thanks

So.. I'm level 38. I just bought a +41 expertise crystal. I know it adds damage takes away damage recieved and heals better.. but what are the exact amount per 41 expertise? does anyone know? like is it +X% or amount of damage or what not.

which flashpoints? xP

It's not that they think it's a bad thing. They're simply shocked.

It will never happen. Some players don't necessarily use just their main stats. It depends how you use your character. I could see you not being able to pick up heavy armors if you only can wear mediums.. but that's about it. Even for jedis to pick up blasters.. Because they can get the mods from them. Some of them need some aim or whatever the stat is.

So.. I'm a level 38 Sentinel. I've finished all but one or two Hoth quests. I've been on Hoth since lv 33... I'm tired of questing. I want to grind. What are the best areas to either grind on just mobs or what flashpoints or missions.. whatever they're all called will give me the most exp? I'm planning to grind to lv 41 then go to the next planet (Belsavis) I tried going there at lv 36 or 37.. but it was hell. I couldn't even get out of the space port area xD. Advice would be much appreciated.

I'm just really irritating when people comment that a DPS didn't do 150k+ damage and when you're not on the top of the leaderboard.

So what class is easier to get the most medals and highest damage dealt at lower levels? I really wanna take top on the leaderboard every game.. that's my ultimate goal. Thanks for all the replies xP

Hello, all! My name is Harley; or in SWTOR and the gaming world, I am known as Zephury (IGN is Zephuryz, as Zephury was taken.) I've recently created a new guild called "Slayers" [Republic guild]. Considering that it's a very new guild, there really isn't a level requirement right now. Eventually the guild will have a lv 50 requirement to join aside from if you're good friends with someone in the guild. I would start it initially as a high requirement to join, but I'm a fairly new player in SWTOR. I can't expect people that have played longer than me to join quite yet. I understand that there's a lot of other guilds out there that are recruiting that are already set up and established, but I believe my leadership skills and dedication will allow me to prevail, provided that you guys give me a chance. Now to talk about goals.. I'm never claiming that we will be the best guild out there. But we will give it our best. I'm an extremely dedicated player, and I intend on dominating as much as SWTOR as I can. This is NOT a call out on other top guilds, I'm simply dedicating myself to earn as much respect and "Valor" as the top guilds. Maybe even more than that one day. During our time of recruitment, we will focus more on PvE as I don't expect to pick up any 50 's until we have a lot of 50's. I guess you gotta start somewhere. So I'm going to be searching for new but highly dedicated players that preferably have a strong MMO background. To pick out the dedicated from the not so dedicated, upon joining I've created a starting rank of "Trial bases" and you are able to move up to a full member with a permanent place within the guild once you have proved yourself as a dedicated player and good aspect to the guild both socially, morally, and dedication-wise. By joining what I hope to make more of a brotherhood or sisterhood I suppose if theres any dedicated female players out there, you must intend on working together, socializing, and helping other guildies as best as you can. If you're busy leveling, that's more than okay if you want to go solo and do it on your own. I'm more of a solo player myself while I'm leveling anyways. I just expect that you participate in guild chat and give other people the best advice that you can give when they ask questions or wonder things. When you join, I promise YOU that I will do the best within the best of my abilities to help you advance as a better player. Once we get a few active 50's, we'll up the requirement and aim for a 50's guild. Objectives (I know this is really a goal.. I suppose... I just feel that paragraph or two above here fit in good there) - Become a 50's+ guild. - Dominate in PvP to the best of our ability - Ultimately, become one of the richest, and most powerful guilds out there. - Have fun! Give us a chance, it would be most appreciated. I will say it now so you wont be disappointed; We only have 2 other members currently. (at the time of this post, but I'm working very hard to gather more people as we speak, and hopefully by the time you contact me in-game, we will have many more players.) If you're wondering about me... I'm 16 years old. I've been a gamer since I was 4. I have over 8,000 subscribers on youtube, and I began making money from playing Call of Duty back in December of 2010. I understand that my youtube view count is pretty low for 8,000 subscribers, but I've deleted many many videos back a while ago when I quit YouTube for a while. It was sort of a rage quit and I thought I'd never come back to it. As of the past month or so, YouTube now deletes the video views mentioned on your channel if the video is not public or nolonger exists. So thats why. In no means am I active anymore, but in case there's any other CoD players out there, maybe we can relate. http://youtube.com/user/Zephury/ I've been into MMO's for the past 7 years. Some of the games I've played (MMO's): Mabinogi Vindictus Cabal WoW PWI Aion Runescape back when I was like 9 lmao. Gave me glasses. In every game that I've played, I've always led guilds. I have a lot of experience dealing with other players and establishing events as well as other guild activities. Thanks for reading and I really hope to see some replies. To join you can contact me ingame (Username: Zephury) or leave a reply with your IGN and I will attempt contacting you. I am homeschooled. I have a butt-load of time on my hands. I'm online most hours of the day and the night. I can help at almost any time.

Well, I'm a lv 31, Sentinel DPS (of course). I am constantly helping my team, going for the objective, being conservative and taking every opportunity I can get to get more damage delt to the enemy. I am constantly hitting thousands of damage in every fight. But.. When the games over I never really have over 100k damage delt.. Some people get 150k-280k damage delt. I don't get it.. What I'm saying is that I'm constantly hitting people, dealing damage. I don't see how it's possible to deal that much. Any advice please? What might I be doing wrong? I always have maxed gear for my level.

Definately amazing ideas listed through the post and through it's comments. I think that there should be an added rim of planets (maybe 4-5 planets) and guilds can have weekly guild battles and fight over these planets and who maintains the control on them. The planets could have access to rare shops, rare mounts and what not.. Not gonna go all in to the idea cause it'd take too long; but I would a guild battle system that fights over domination. So that way there really is a "top guild on the server" Would make endgame fun.

Just being curious.. What's the best possible end game PvP and PvE armors for Sentinel? I am aware that prices can vary quite a bit depending on servers; but a price range would be great anyhow I would like to know everything you have to equip the armor with including augments and mods if any. As well as stats and pictures if possible. Would really appreciate it I have quite a bit of money laying around so I may even just buy some of the stuff before I even hit 50 to be ready. I'm aware of the 2.0 update as well; I know theres gonna be new better stuff; so if you could touch up on that too, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

I'm currently a lv 23 sentinel. On this page you can see what equips I currently have: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=607495 Is there anything that I should change about what I aim for? What is the best skill rotation for someone at my level? I don't have all the Sentinel skills yet of course, I'm building watchman, but of course it doesn't help much yet due to my low level. This question is sort of indirect.. I'm just asking for advice from other Sentinels that are good at PvP. Here are some side questions that I wonder about, if you can answer; - I'm constantly finding myself in 1v2 situations. What can I do? Running really doesn't work that often. What can I practice or train to become efficient taking out people at once? I really don't use any pvp med pacs stims or anything of that sort.. Do they really help what much? Sometimes I encounter people with 1/10th of their hp left, and without any healer or anyone near by on his team, he's able to take down 2-3 of us before he goes down. In some cases I guess he heals himself? Other cases, he just dps' the hell out of us.. Any tips tricks or facts about PvP are appreciated.

I know the featured Jedi in the center of this picture is wearing the Valiant Jedi armor which I own already, however for my bounty hunter, I would like to get the bluish armor on the right side. Sort of like Bobo of Jango Fett had in the starwars series. (This link is NOT a download, it's a posted screenshare picture) http://gyazo.com/865bb4a78e87f71480918101ba0ccd35
