I think crit numbers are bit off, for example Virulence sniper must have 1127 (216 Defiant) critical rating but it's only 3*152+7*73+2*41=1049 only (216). Am i missing something or is this some kind of typo?

Guys, I have a question: What's more important in PVP? Actually delivering killing blows or putting constant pressure to enemy team? I'm very curious about this, I guess it should be applied to Arenas (Yolo Q and Team Ranked) as well. At this point I'm at loss, since I don't know how to operate in Arenas. On one hand it's good to put a pressure on a whole team, on other hand even PT with 5% HP left can hit as hard as with 100% HP, so it's important to actually kill players. Maybe its required both Burst and sustained DPS

Many thanks Hayete, I knew that i'll receive information from the most experienced Marasent out here

So guys, here's a deal: I want to wear, for example Defiant gear (216), what's a best approach to gear quickly and efficently? I know it's was always very easy to do, but I'd like to learn some gearing strategies. Maybe there's always some priority to gearing, but anyways. Thanks in advance.

Missed my Dirty Kick on Powertech as Scoundrel. I was really pissed off 'cause he killed me after that. It occured only once but i think it's pretty rare

http://www.youtube.com/user/VulgarBroadcasting/playlists Here's a nice playlist that contains guides for every class. Made by Justbodies and mostly for lvl 55 but gearing and tips/tricks can be easily translated in 3.0+ era. http://deltiasgaming.com/guides/swtor-guides/ Also, SWTOR PvP guides made by Deltia. Mostly outdated but tips pretty much useful no matter what patch.

Many thanks, Hottie! I'll share it to my friends. Very useful and interesting tips and information

I'd like to hear your opinions about bringing back RNG factor to these classes. I mean RNG on Rupture/Cauterize or Gore/Precision etc.

Well, the easiest way to min/max your Guardian is to go full power/surge build i.e. just stacking Advanced Deft mods and Adept enhancements, and you should equip ear and implants with same stats. For augments you can go either Might or Overkill augments since they're almost equal. For relics you should go with main stat and power relics. It's pretty much bread-and-butter.

Well, the reason i pick relics first is that their procs compensate lack of dmg from 162 green MH and OH, same with 6-piece set bonus, so i think it works that way:)

TL;DR version for 2018 expertise: 1. Aquire 162 green set from SoR Prelude or buy lvl 50/53 gear 2. Buy green relics either from light or dark side vendor. Also you can buy lvl 50 or 55 relics but IMO it's cheaper to get green ones. 3. Put 148 mods/enhancements in your mainhand and offhand. Use +41 power crystal, so it will be like 41/162/148/148 After these steps you can start farming your Exumed gear. I found most efficient way to gear up fast, it works for me so don't take this recommendations as the only way to gear up! 1. Farm your Exumed relic first. I can't stress enough how important to get relics as first priority. It's a HUGE dps gain. 2. Get your set! Start from belt and bracers and continue with head/chest/arms/legs. Don't buy 7th set piece yet, you have already 6-piece set. From this point you are mostly "competetive". 3. Mainhand and offhand. No comments. 4. Earpiece and implants. They're cheap and give a lot of expertise. 5. Your last armoring (usually it's feet) Now you have your full Exumed gear. It's your choice to min/max it or not but i hope these tips help you

Is it me or Serrated Shots pretty much useless in IO spec when it comes to PVP?. I'd rather spend my proc on Power Shot, since it's all about burst in wzs IMO. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks in advance

Well, since only subs have unlimited access to warzones and ranked warzones(hell even f2p and pref status players don't have permission to join RWZ) and based on Leaderboards there are around 20k participants, IMO that's an income from PVP

Well, pvp is unpopular because of lack of content and this leads to a "small" PvP community(actually it's not THAT small). Speaking about priorities, I think PvP on the low priority list, damn, even outfit designer has much higher priority

So, full power/surge build is still viable for PvP gearing? I used to build my AS(Assault Specialist) to around 70% surge, 25-26% tech crit chance, 95% accuracy and main stat with crit relics (aslo with Eliminator's set bonus). With 3.0 i still think about alacrity with scepticism, am i missing a point here?
