  1. 9/11 good recruitment post
  2. If it's not working at all for you, I suggest you looking into preferences, under control, and see if you actually toggled on "Enable Focus Target"
  3. FTM = Focus Target Modifier, where it allows you to press a keybind to hit a target without actually targeting or looking at it. I seem to observed that when using FTM, your GCD is not properly reduced by alacrity, and this could cost huge problems, if true, when a team is running FTM to burst. Here are ways to test it. Set your friend as focus target, and then manually target yourself or looking at yourself, by clicking on your portrait: 1. AP PT MB spam method (with 10% alacrity) 2. GCD Heal spam method (with 10% alacrity) This can be done by either using operative to spam Kolto Probes, or Merc to spam Kolto Shots, or any other class that has a heal move on GCD. It seems to me that this is a result of alacrity not reducing FTM system GCD properly, it's like your real GCD has finished due to 10% alacrity but your FTM GCD has not, hence the probes/kolto shot on your self. It gets very weird when it comes to damaging ability (refer to the PT testing method mentioned above), and I have not tested this on casting abilities. I PvP'd long enough to know this isn't lag or FPS issues, and I normally do not have ability delays like these (consistent 90 or less ms). The delay during 10 MB spam on PT is very obvious, it's almost as if your mag gun is stuck. To make sure that it is not my net problem, I asked multiple friends with similar or better connection to run the same tests, and they observed the same result. This could be really harmful in ranked 4s play. You can easily mess up a burst or flashing/WW the wrong target using FTM, and if my guess is true it makes alacrity build utterly useless for FTM plays. So can we get more players to give this a test, to see if it is just me not doing things properly or is this indeed a bug? And can we get some devs response regarding this issue? Many thanks ahead for people who are going to test upon reading this thread.
  4. Hello guys, allow me to humbly introduce myself. I am simply known as the best player in the world (NA > EU). I have always wanted to share my knowledge with the community as my wisdom is beyond the grasp of peasants. I main a PT, and I am an Elite Warlord. Through never-seen-before hard practice day and night, I have come to a conclusion: PT is not a 4-button spam class. It requires a lot of skills to do a highly advanced 3-button rotation. Its entire rotation consists of: Explosive Dart Thermal Detonator Allahu Akabur I feel sad that the majority of community are not as good as me, i.e. not good enough to realize that PT actually needs a buff. The reasons are twofold: Occasionally I notice that my Allahu Akabur fails to one-shot a target in 2 GCD, and I am very sure this is not intended, and Bioware must have already been working a fix ASAP. Current meta does not favor AP PT in tank tunnel, which to be honest is the most skill-demanding and advanced strategy. Therefore, I petition the community to ask for more operative nerfs, and change Rail Shot, Mag Blast and Energy Burst to internal damage.
  5. Also just asking honest questions not arguing: On gearing: Why not alacrity? I ain't talking about regs or damage farm, but hard swap burst damage. I've heard a lot about the magic of 10% alacrity, which allows you to squeeze in one extra GCD during a 4 sec hard swap, hence dramatically increasing your burst damage. Why power over crit? I am currently trying your power heavy build, but I couldn't help but sense doubt in the Force. MM snipe is one of the very few specs that have massive increased crit chance and crit multiplier tied to your rotations, wouldn't crit help more with that? I understand there is a diminishing return on crit after around 1400 points, but is it not worth pursuing even though sniper has so many crit buff? On utility points: Why Deployed Shields over Evacuate? I ask this because I see mercs have heavy armor, and still get blown up all the time without a tank. When tank guard swap comes into picture, that 5% hardly matters (merc being proof), and a lower cooldown on an insta CC becomes massively powerful. Still a new sniper under a lot of practice. Please help me understand, thanks.
  6. 10/10 for necro. So this was, according to legends, the Old God of PvP. In return, there was an over-nerf on operative that kind of gimped it for a long while.
  7. Disclaimer: Turned out Reven absorbed dread masters' mana and is, in fact, the emperor himself. Uber TB: Thundering blast will now travel endlessly between all enemy targets within 200 m of the first target until it kills a player. A player killed by Uber TB will be left with a debuff called "Sorc is not OP". "Sorc is not OP" lasts 5 minutes, and instantly kills the player next time the Sorc start casting Thundering Blast, no matter where the player is, and whether or not the player is in warzones. Creepy CT: Creeping Terror now roots the target for the entirety of its duration, and this root effect is not broken upon damage. Omni-Guard: Since player has reported that Guard Swap is very hard, we have decided to implement a whole new automatic guard swap system "Omni-Guard". Omni-Guard automatically swap guard to the target that's about to take loads of damage. Hyper Laze Target: Laze Target will now make your next ability, no matter what, automatically crits. In addition, popping Laze target prior to using an Ambush, Explosive Probe, and/or Cull will automatically casts "Megatron Shot". Megatron shot merges every single ability you have into one ability. Kolto Reset: If AP Powertech fails to instantly global a target, all its offensive cooldowns will be reset to 0. In addition, AP flame sweep is now off GCD and spread Thermal Detonator to all targets hit. Desperate DB: Carnage Marauder now stores energy lodes for Devastating Blast. Every time marauder takes damage, it charges 1 energy lode that increases the damage of next DB by 50%, up to 5 charges. At 5 charges, DB becomes an AOE effect that stuns all targets, player or non player alike. Ravager: Ravage is now off GCD. Devoted Ganker: Activating this ability will teleport concealment operative and marked targets to a different universe, where they have to 1v1. If concealment operative lose, it will be banned for 24 hours, If concealment operative wins, there will be a thread posted on forum automatically asking to nerf concealment immediately. 30 sec cooldown. Skank Tank: Vengeance juggernaut will now gain every single perks of tank tree and full tanking utilities upon switching to tank stance. Mercs are fine. They are balanced and working as intended™. Finally, "better than cross-server" is here. The purpose of cross-server is to ensure comp variety and constant queue pops. To achieve this, players can now take their companions into group ranked.
  8. For PvP you need 0 accuracy. You are one of the very few classes who are never checked by accuracy in PvP. For PvE, I am pretty sure KTap said something about 108.5%+ will produce very nice parses
  9. Deception sin got more annoying since that 30m lolslash, but any class can be handled except concealment OP.
  10. I wish it were less RNG dependent. It would be the dream if we could migrate the double proc damage into normal hits and just eliminate the double proc. And LF feels like it's crit, or it might as well be a chain shock
  11. EH trolling is nowhere near as bad as other servers'. And how's community toxicity related to game development and all that stuff?
  12. /shakehands Hope a dev could respond. I am probably not the only one who's wondering how soon is Win 10 support coming in.
  13. Electrocute during big burst window, 1 root ability after predation. Don't speed right away during ravage: 1. Mara ravage is not that strong anymore. Not even carnage gore ravage. 2. Sprinting right as warriors start rvg will rubber band you back. And don't take bubble stun.
  14. It's gonna be released in less than 9 days, now. I've been reading all sorts of game forums, many of which have a dev thread answering the state of their games' win 10 support. So I am just wondering, what's it like for SWTOR, out of curiosity.
  15. Devs please: Does this game has official windows 10 support yet?
  16. Bold claim, very bold claim, dude or dudette, mark my words
  17. 10/10 came here to find this right after I saw PvP mercenary mode
  18. And SWTOR forum is the one thing you can't resist coming back to
