Indeed kolto missile properly talented is the dog's ding-a-lings... Merc healing is pretty awesome, their single target is great; you have a bubble that autoheals on taking damage, an armor buffing hot heal that makes your nice fat heal that crits like a truck cheaper, and an oh shhiiit no resource cost instaheal - add to that an amazing aoe heal that hot and buffs subsequent heals and can add a damage reduction buff to everyone in the aoe...another self centred aoe heal (talented) for those stack on me moments and a free spamable heal that charges up a super heal buff...plus a cheap cleanse, great aoe dps, a cc, a stun and a JAWA TANK for soloing...what more do you want????

I'm guessing he/she used thier eyes - all new gear they have added to the game in the latest expansions is endgame & cartel/reputation gear, of which not one single piece has any lightside/darkside restrictions whatsoever. Ergo; "They don't add anything with alignment restrictions anymore'' /thread

Arsenal until you get a dps comp then whatever floats your boat...

Ah yes, long time since I bothered doing heroics lol...that helmet looks the same as the 2 from DK & the comms one...just the colours change iirc...

You can get one before you get to the temple, you get it from the bounty board near the legacy vendors, the mission is to diffuse 4 bombs near the monument lore object in the city, it looks the same as the one you get at the temple though...and has worse stats, but, it is the first one you can pick up as a mission reward. The first orange (moddable) one you can pick up is from nar shadda comms vendors, but it looks the same as those two lol...BH helmets don't start looking good until around level 40 I'm afraid....

Hell no...

Aim > Power Although; power is a secondary stat & aim is a primary, when it comes to gear itemisation the only time they compete for space is on an augment, but as you are dps and you take the 9% aim buff talent you should use aim augments (different schools of theorycraft thought here, and many many threads that argue either way but IMO aim is the right choice). - Choose armorings & barrels with the higher aim attribute (Reflex) - Choose mods with the highest combined total of aim & power - Choose enhancements with accuracy until you have roughly: 100% ranged/110%tech accuracy, then choose power & surge - Use aim augments (Reflex) - Use power crystals (Hawkeye) - Use implants & earpieces with some combination of aim, power, accuracy & surge. - Avoid alacrity & crit on gear if possible (although - *some* crit is usually unavoidable when gearing & personally I like to have a little crit rating so I get 20-25% crit fully buffed, but if you have a choice of two equally rated pieces for a slot then; power>crit)

I like it maybe the glow 'could' be toned down a bit, but the pink spinning stuff goes really well with my pink lightsaber I'd rather they spend their time fixing our spikyness tbh...

And to think, all the time spent typing in this thread could have been spent levelling a new character in the AC you wanted....in some people's cases they would have got to 55 by now rendering this thread even more pointless than it already is... Regardless of the opinions of the small player demographic these forums represent one important fact remains - if they can make money from it, then you can be sure it will be added to the game at some point.

The boo hoo is strong in this thread... 1. It's a short cutscene that you can watch on YouTube for free. 2. The only 'content' it gives you is 50k credits at the end of the scene. 3. I sold mine on the GTN for more than four times that amount......suits me lol

Yes you can change the colours, looks ok in white... Mine is dark red/black so only the robe has changed colour to nice imperial guard red as befits the emperors wrath

Can I haz your stuffz?

You obviously don't know any good tanks ...see what I did there?

No, I live in the uk and I don't log in till late so I'd rather they patch during the day when I am at work. The morning and afternoon of a weekday is not 'prime time' for gaming, it's 'stop playing games and get a job time'...

No it's easier, and faster, to just let the tank aoe the adds and let them burn...only time that is not easier is when your dps are too retarded to understand the instruction "don't use aoe, just focus boss" - if they can't do that then you have bigger problems than where to stand...

Taunting doesn't work you have to quickly aoe damage them and make sure your dps don't use thier aoe and pull them off you. It's pretty simple: 1. Tank pulls boss 2. Tank saves instant aoe attack for when adds spawn and pulls them into the flamethrower 3. DPS quickly burn down the boss and only the boss 4. DPS refrain from using AOE 5. Healer heals 6. Profit

I really hope it's not just rehashed hardmodes of existing content, although more level 55 HMs would be great as the current 4 are getting a little repetative... No, I would like to see brand new lower level flashpoints married with level 55 HMs of them, like a flashpoint based around Makeb seeing as we currently have none, the only current Makeb group content is a few heroics and a world boss....give us a new flashpoint BW!

You didn't look very hard, it's on top of the page: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=643138

Yeah they changed it: Now the best mainhand you can buy with comms is basic (66), which you still need to grind Makeb reputation to purchase. Arkanian mainhand (69) can only be bought with a token dropped in S&V (Cartel Warlords) or possibly from Toborro (random drop). Underworld Mainhand (72) can only be bought with a token dropped in hardmode S&V (Cartel Warlords) or possibly from hardmode Toborro (random drop). 66 & 69 mainhand & offhand hilts & barrels can be reversed engineered and crafted but materials are expensive and getting the schematics is all RNG... Note that only the armorings, hilts & barrels are tied to the same item they were pulled from. Mods, enhancments & crystals can be pulled from any item and placed in any other item with the same slot.

Heroic 2 are very soloable yes, but don't dare suggest that to the mmo police that seem to frequent general chat on my server lol... I noticed a guy spamming local for a good 20 mins on belsavis for a group to do the heroic 2 with the data thing in the back of a cave - easily soloable, only one elite which you don't need to kill - I piped up and pointed out that that was "very easy to solo if he couldn't find a group" this was quickly met by a torrent of abuse along the lines of "this is a multiplayer game yadadada" "if I wanted to solo I would play a single player game blah blah" - I removed the swearing but I'm sure you can imagine...in fact, in the time people spent berating me for suggesting they solo it they could either solo'd it or grouped up and done it, instead they took the time to flood general chat with derogatory statements and personal attacks....people are wierd.... I like the unique gear set idea, in fact most of the ones I have run have been for moddable orange sets but the missions do need tidying up and missing peices adding to make a full set per planet, make it a combo of class, story, heroics & even bonus - this will encourage people like me to finish a planet - tangible rewards make it all worthwhile IMO. On a related note, I like the new unified comms, makes gearing up far less hassle - which means better equipped toons to group up with for FPs instead of people wearing last planets questing greens....

Although granted they useful for new players to learn group content, it is not just vet perspective - the change to comms has diminished the rewards from these missions IMO...they are no longer needed when levelling which is sad as they are a lot of fun, but sadly time vs reward is so low I just skip them now. Remember vets have alts too

Strength > Accuracy to as close to 100% melee as you can get > Power > Crit Tertiary just stack Surge, you don't want any alacrity at all it blows for Jugg...

Agreed, here are some ideas: 1) Change quest rewards to purple mods for max level on that planet (which we cannot buy for comms), so doing them is worth it over solo content that just rewards comms. 2) Simply up the comms reward to make it worth the bother, like 5 for heroic 2 & 10 per heroic 4 maybe - boring but simple. 3) Make them all give unique orange shells as some currently do, that way the ONLY way to get those shells will be to group up and run them.

I thought HM55 FPs through group finder already was 'nightmare mode' lol...and I'm not talking about the difficulty but the 'nightmare' that is: 1) undergeared players even being able to queue for them 2) stupid people who don't learn or even want to learn the FPs 3) dps players queing as tanks and healers and wasting my time... But yeah, harder difficulty modes with ultimate comms would be kinda cute, but leave it like the HM ops - a non GF affair...

Interested By the time i have got home from work, cooked, eaten, showered, spent 'quality time' with my significant other ...I can't usually log in until 10:00pm or later uk time, then I'm on until 2:00am some nights lol - Getting very frustrated that I miss all the Op runs with my current guild...pugs are a waste of time for ops because of stupid lockouts...and all the drama lamas Will hit u up in game...
