I always wandered, I've asked several times as I'm tried to find my niche. I don't like tanking and right now it's a toss up. AP does nice damage, but doesn't have the proccing burst. Pyro has proccing burst but overheats and is squishy. What's the best spec to play for ranked, One? or both?

I see, I mostly PvP and I just seem to see better numbers, and live longer in AP, but as you've both said, I've yet to see what tree's can really do at 45.

I appreciate the info on that. I know it'll help a lot once I hit 45, and then 55 when I can gain a moderate amount of Accuracy.

Currently level 40, on my Powertech. I've been swapping back and fourth between specs of Advanced Prototype and Pyrotech. A couple things between them leave me unsure of which to play with, as I find them both fun. Somethings I've noticed are: AP: +Good AoE +Good Survivability +Speed increase +Bigger Crits on Railshot/Rocket Punch -Bad Heat Management -No Skill resetting Procs -AoE Reliant on Enemies standing near, bunched, and stationary Pyro: +Skill Resetting Procs +Longer Lasting DoT +Flame Shield +Better Kolto Overload +Better Heat Management -Numbers are seemingly lower, even when critting:mad: These are only what I've seen, or experienced. Please give me some feed back.

Okay, So I'm a marauder, playing the same class and spec since 1.4. Playing as Carnage, but I have to ask a few questions. 1.) Strength and diminishing returns - I read a forum a while ago Str adds .2 main damage, while Power adds .22. Str at 2.9 left me at 1300 base primary. Then, changing gear to Power mods, brought me to 1500. W/o any 66 Augments for str or pwr. If I was to add all 66 Overkill Power Augments would it bring damage up? or will it hit a cap? My Goal is 1700 Base. My acc is currently 110% with 1300 Bonus force and 850 bonus melee. My numbers aren't huge, my highest crit being 11K on a proc'd vicious throw. 2.) Rotation - I've seen two different ways to Proc Gore. a.) Force Chare > Battering Assault > Gore > Massacre x3 > Force scream > Gore(If Proc'd) > Ravage > Vicious Throw. b.) Force Charge > Battering Assault > Gore > Force scream > Massacre x2 > Gore > Ravage > Vicious Throw Both have Proc'd Gore and Slaughter nicely, but is the a better rotation for more damage? 3.) Gearing - There are a few different ways to gear from what I've seen/heard. Annihilation - High Crit, and Surge. Carnage - High Power, Str, Acc. Rage - High Crit, Surge, Power. Are these optimal ways of spec gearing, and where can they be improved? Would love to hear answers, because I certainly do not have them all. Would love to hear from the community.

My base Damage on my primary is currently 1186-1403, Stacking Str has it's perks till a certain point. Then Stacking power bumps you that much further. There's a Marauder some where around here with 1500 Base.

Really appreciate all the advice guys, now I feel I have a better plan for gearing.

Okay, so new-ish to PvP, 2 50's first toon really going hard on PvP. Currently level 30 Vanguard, I saved Comms to the cap. Now, my question is. Since you receive free Recruit Gear once reaching 50, Should I buy a War Hero piece, Ranked Comms, or just get the 40 gear? I've been gearing through Flashpoints, GTN, Planet Comms, Etc. But I want to know the smartest way to maximize potential for my gear. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not much of a PvP guy, really just PvE Ops and HM. Trying to get all endgame gear currently in full Columi Stalkers for my DPS. Using this build now: http://www.noxxic.com/swtor/pve/jedi-consular/jedi-shadow/infiltration/talent-builds

Thanks for the Responses. I have respec into DPS now. I when with a build from Noxxic and it's worked out good.

Currently my spec looks like thishttp://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#601rIbckbRkkcZcZfzc.2 Wanted to know if respec would make things easier on me. I guess I deal a decent amount of damage but I always see room to improve. Thoughts?
