Recently, on my Gunnery Commando, i've noticed what appears to be the orbital strike (like the agent's AOE) suddenly striking some of my targets, and wondered if its a new ability (ie: from armor set, tactical, or class). My commando is geared with the Concentrated Fire (6 pc.)set , one piece of Amplified Champion armor, and the Primed Ignition tactical, just FYI. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks y'all, I think i'm going to let this simmer for few days, while i try to figure out my next step, and whether i'm going to bail or stick it out.

Sorry, its a Republic guild.

Yeahhhhhh, unfortunately i have a conscience (d@mmit). I'm thinking to leave be a for awhile ( another 3 mos.) and if no one shows or wants take it over, I'll be able to sell it off worry free, cause seriously some of the other people in the guild had my IRL info, and could have at least texted me a heads up ( even it was to laugh and say its all your Sucker).

Ok, not sure *** happened but I've round up becoming the head (maybe owner, not sure) of a guild. I was about to do a /gquit , after months of no other guild members being on, when i realized that one of my alts had been made 'Grandmaster' of the guild, and to make it worse it was one of my rarily played alts. Now should i be a jerk and clean house (alot of the other players haven't on since mid 2019, and the couple that did have already left for greener pastures), or be the nice guy and leave things alone, and see if the people who I used run with come back?

Well i'm old, stubborn, more than a bit ornery, and retired, so i got the time to experiment. Thanks

With the new amplifier system is it worth making/buying an armor set (ie: the experimental Ossen 252 purple armor, whatever is appropriate to your level), and then buying/setting all the amplifiers to whatever your crafting skill is (biochem, artifice, synthweaving, etc.) . I've done similiar in other games with crafting, but wasn't sure if anyone had done it on SWTOR. I mean not only for leveling a skill, but also for late game craftng, and for profit by crafting stuff for the GTN?

Ok, thanks for the input

It's a Jedi Defense Guardian, a straight up tank build ( I'm a big fan of keeping it simple), and its a fairly robust combatant just slow, which is why I was wondering about adding some Alacrity. I mainly do PVE (weeklies, flashpoints, etc.), not really confident enough to doing PVP as a tank, I have Alts for PVP'ing (Ranged DPS toons).

Would adding boosts to your Alacrity (via Augments or enhancements) help on a Tank, cause i've noticed since the update that cooldows on my tank seem longer (shrugs, or its me getting older).

Thanks again, this is the very information i've been begging for, this will really help getting my Shadow geared up.

Thanks for the information, it really helps, as too pve/pvp, i'm mainly doing pve (weeklies, dailies, and vet flashpoints) at the moment, but want to get into doing warzones and ops once i'm geared up.

Greetings, I'm currently playing a Shadow Kinetic Tank, a bit of a skank tank, and keep coming up with one question of when is too much power too much (currently mine is over 1300). I looked at the ideal stats which suggest you only need 910 Power, but when i ask people in game the answers vary from "Scotty, I need more power..." to others going "whatever works" or "Hellifiknow, i don't play tanks". Thanks in advance

(Bleep!!) That actually sucks, cause i've seen some nice looking vibro-sword models in the game, it actually fits both the character type, and some of the Mando lore. Gracias

Greetings, I've been considering trying to do a powertech tank, tried the jedi vanguard but wasn't ideal for me, and i wanted to ask some questions before wasting time and creds. I was thinking of going shield tech, especially after running into a few npc versions, and that raised a question in my mind about weapons, looking at the star wars wiki it says that like the mercenary, the powertech uses blaster pistols, but most of the npc's are wielding vibro swords and staffs, can the player do the same since a shieldtech/tank has to get into melee range anyway. I can easily see playing a big brick wielding a vibro sword, using his shields, and then toasting his opponents as they try to dogpile him.

Muchas Gracias

I'm playing a Sith Lightning Sorc, doing the storyline, and just hit level 40 and the Voss chapter, but everything is 5+ levels above me, and completely wiping all floors with me and my companion. Did i level to slow, i've been able to fight my way thru everything else before this, but now it seems i've hit a wall level wise. Any suggestions?
