Cathar Dualsaber is missing graphics, it just appears as a big green ball

Hi guys,its me! No not Demunoki, I'm just possessing his body again. Since Demunoki will no longer be a suitable vessel after he loses his subscription, I will be re-subbing once chapter 5 is complete to post the updates to it and finish off the prologue arc. At that time I will be clarifying what lies ahead for this saga and its place on these forums.! I hope you guys enjoy this part, although you might want to keep a box of tissues nearby while reading, some of the content is truly traumatic (at least it was traumatic for me to write it, honestly not sure whether other people will find it the same). I think its also the longest part yet, although it may not feel like it as there's a lot of content stuffed in here (IMO). Sorry, I'm rambling. Let's get on with the show!

That's a Vet strat, you pull both behind the door and burn assassin first. Doesn't work on MM tho

In PvE (Ops), Lethality is among the top three highest parsing specs (http://parsely.io/parser/leaderboard) and very viable due to 30m DoT range, very effective DoT-spreading (Toxic Haze! Yayyyy!) and the ability to sustain some form of damage at 10m range. Concealment, on the other hand, is a very weak spec due to positional requirements (Backstab being the only ability left in the game to require being behind the target), strict rotation that doesn't allow for screwups caused by certain mechanics and no armor debuff on the target like most dps classes have (+5% tech damage etc). However, it should be easier to stealth rez (if BW hadn't broken it lol) In PvP (non-ranked, I'm not sure about ranked), it's the other way round: Lethality has it pretty hard due to missing defensives and a long warm-up time (it needs 4 GCDs or around 6 seconds to fully apply DoT's for a proper "burst" rotation) Concealment has the so-called "lol-roll", which gives you basically immunity for 3 seconds every 10 seconds, one of the most annoying roots with crippling slice (enemy can't turn around) and some serious burst EDIT: As was correctly pointed out below, I meant dueling other players, I don't PvP enough to be sure about objective play It's always best to learn both roles just for those few occasion where the other spec is better, but if you're planning to do both Ops and PvP with one spec, I'd recommend Lethality simply due to the insane damage it has

I had a similar experience recently in a Ravagers SM. A couple of people were asking in the guild if somebody could help out a friend guild (it's Rep Side, so I guess that's a thing ) who was doing a preorganised run of Ravagers. In the end it was a Tank (Guardian) , DPS (Sage?) and me as a Heal (Sage) from our guild and the rest from theirs (One SOMETHING Tank, two Mando DPS, a Shadow DPS and a Mando heal. We zone in and I have a look at their gear rating. All members of the other guild had a rating of 246+, with my co-healer having one of 248 with pretty good stat allocation. Now, if I were that healer, I would refuse to dual-heal a Story Mode ops... it's just dead BORING - in fact, the only reason I didn't soloheal myself was because my non-legacybindable gear pieces were 230ish (I main a Sorc on Impside). First warning flag. The moment we meet up in front of Sparky, the second flag pops up: The Tank from my guild notices the Mando DPS all have around 1k accuracy (For those unaware, the accuracy bar is 737). They point it out and tell the DPS to get proper Augments. NOW. First Sparky fight, Sparky goes onto enrage at ~10% and suddenly bugs out and resets. Now, I know the DPS from our guild, and he's one of the best I know. How it was even possible to hit enrage? During the second round I observe the Mando's and find out: First off, the Mando healer in her pristine 248 gear was only keeping Kolto Shell up and DPS'ing the rest of the time, which explains why I felt like I was healing Hard Mode. Now, to the two DPS. Apparently, somebody told them that Grav Round was evil. And that they shouldn't channel evil. Meaning both of them only used Grav Round when it was procc'ed and therefore an insta-cast and filled the rest with Explosive Round. Imagine the DAMAAAAAAAAAAGE! So, anyway, I'm weeping in front of my screen watching people with better gear then my main utterly destroy their class, but in the end we manage Sparky. Onto Bulo Now, at Bulo I realised something: The tank from their guild did not speak German (I play on a German Server, with 99.9% German speaking guilds). Normally I don't have a problem with that, everybody should be allowed to play where they want. However, if you also don't really understand English and the message has to be translated seven times for you, and you need a deep explanation of everything past Sparky, then it's really starting to grate my nerves. And so, we wipe thrice on Bulo because that tank messed up tactics... This trend continued through the whole Op, and I'm quite proud of myself for living it through when we come to loot distribution. Guess who hogged all the 236 rating tokens? (Sorry for a bit of a long post) EDIT: Holly crap this is rambly... Please excuse me I am in serious need of Caffeine..

Noxious Knives now reliably spread Corrosive Dart for Lethality

Newbie question: Which utility choice is better: Circumvention or Imperial Tactics (i.e holotraverse giving a free TA or sever tendon giving a free TA)? Here are the pro's and con's as I'm currently aware, am I missing any? Holotraverse: Very long Cooldown, Gapcloser (can be both positive and negative) but also OF (i.e not affected by) the GCD Sever Tendon: Moderate Cooldown, 10m range but ON the GCD

hmpf.... ok, thanks - apparently I'm imagining things

For some reason I just pulled him through running to close to him, even though I specifically remember him not attacking until being attacked - am I going mad?

Happy birthday Luna!

Hey all, I recently found out about how you could get the Tauntling/Orobird pets by following some steps that weren't part of any mission (klick this, travel there, stand here etc.) or the Data Mining achievement where you have to kill a random assortment of droids. So I was wondering if there were any other fun little side activities (whether you get a notable reward isn't really important here, I'm just interested in the process) Cheers!

Hey everyone! Sorry I'm late, but that's due to my own tardiness and nothing else. Also, I'm moving this weekend, so I unfortunately won't have any time to write this week. Take a break and we'll see you all 2 weeks from now when my birthday (May 6th) comes around, when I'll have a present for you!

Hi guys! Here's the next part, I wrote it especially for all my Theron fans out there! *teeheeheehee*

Hi guys! Guess what! Looks like some of you completely misjudged the cliffhanger last week, boy are you guna be surprised! XD This segment will introduce a new PC of mine, I'm currently thinking about uploading screenshots of all the PC's that feature in this story, at the very least I might start listing off, item by item, the outfits all my PC's use in each segment in this "foreword" section to assist you guys with imagining what my characters look like. EDIT: Also, some background music that goes with the first and last scene: Enjoy the show!

Hello everyone! I hope you're enjoying the story so far, we've got some more twists and turns to go through before this chapter is finished, but those twists and turns will be necessary to set up the future chapters, so they should be well worth the while! I hope nobody is miffed because of the recent altering of my usual release schedule. I used to release my stuff on Friday so that people could read it on the weekend, but lately I've been finding it easier to write when I a) haven't just woken up and have only a few precious hours before work and b) haven't just arrived home from a long day at work feeling physically and mentally exhausted. Thus my release schedule has shifted from Friday to Sunday/Monday, so if you want to get the story as it drops, those two days would be your best bet. Hopefully its something that makes your Monday better hmm? (#Ihatemondays ) Also, I've noticed what I think is a bunch of my readers delaying following the story regularly and then binge reading every so often after 3 or more updates have happened, with this in mind, I want to get a feel for how large this group is and thus determine whether it would be in the interest of my fans for me to release larger story segments every 2 or 3 weeks. For those who want to keep up weekly I could keep it so that Wattpad is updated weekly while the SWTOR forums are only updated every once in a while. I'm concerned that such a move might decrease my popularity so I'm eager to know if this idea has any support from the fanbase and if so how much. Silence will be interpreted as a "no", so if you like the idea, speak up! What I might recommend for binge readers is following the story on Fanfiction.com rather than on here or Wattpad, because on there I only upload one very long chapter at a time. There are usually a 2+ month period between each chapter release so that might only be for hardcore binge readers (lol). Personally I find its much easier disciplining myself to write episodic content on a weekly basis, but I recognize not all my readers may read my content this way, as the "episodes" are so short. Anyway, now that all my person prattling is out of the way, please read and enjoy!

Hi everyone! Here's the newest addition to LoD, I hope you find it entertaining!

Hi everyone! I hope you're enjoying your weekend! I'm sorry this one is late but I had trouble getting it just the way I wanted it, especially getting the vision just the way I wanted it with regards to diction, pacing ect. It's hard to write an authentic sounding dream/vision sequence, and I can only hope I've done a convincing job! On a side note with regards to the dream sequence; I used a technique I call "soundscaping" to create the dream, and here is the music I used: http://listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=b6IFk4EWOec#Dragonfable_Soundtrack_-_As_you_Lie_Dreaming___ You can use the music as background music while reading the dream sequence if you wish, or simply ignore it. Whatever works for you. Personally I would read the sequence in silence first a few times to memorize it and get the "movie" of what happens in my head, then play the music while "playing the movie" in my head...but that's just me. Use it any way you like or don't use it all, its all good to me! I just wanted to share a part of my creative process with you guys so you can get a small window into my mind. Just a small window, we wouldn't you to run away screaming now would we? Please, enjoy the show!

Hi everyone! I hope you're enjoying your weekend! It figures that immediately after I post two of the longest segments I've ever written, I'd have to post my shortest one. Still, I hope you guys enjoy this all the same. I plan to have the next segment focus solely on Xalek, so that should give any Xalek fans out there something to really look forward to next weekend! Enjoy!

Su'cuy allesamt, ich habe auf unserer Gildenhompage mal die heute angekündigten Veränderungen am Galaktischen Kommando auf deutsch festgehalten, wer interesse hat kann ja mal vorbeischauen: http://www.ultio-extorrium.swtorgilde.com/viewtopic.php?p=7123#7123

I know, and I hear/feel what you're saying. Believe me when I say that Nox's character as he is now is not the way he will stay. There are thing holding him back from fully embracing his dark gift. In terms of the in-game measurement, I'd say Nox right now is a Dark 3 or 4. Plus you do have to remember that Darth Sidious, the greatest Sith in canon, was not a full Dark 5 in that way either. Nox could just be insanely cruel and merciless to everyone he encounters, but he recognizes that such methods would only doom him to failure. If you feel Nox shouldn't be insanely cruel but that he's just coming off as weak I can understand that. Like I said, there are things holding him back... However, let's give it some time and see if Nox's slow descent begins to pick up speed hmm? I will take what you suggested into account and do what I can to accentuate Nox's Dark Side qualities more without severely altering the character development or plot. I hope this issue hasn't made you lose interest!

Thanks you two! To all my other readers out there: Don't be shy! Criticize me! I love criticism because it shows people actually care about the story, so if you see something, say something! If you think my writing or the story might be improved somehow, offer up the idea! If you just want to say something like: "You suck", tell me why I suck! I want to hear it! Feedback feedback feedback! XD
