Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there like a confirmation before you buy it that it's not refundable? If so, then that's a human error on your end

Basically reach Alacrity and accuracy thresholds then dump the rest into crit So by the time you reach thresholds and filled up all available augment slots, you'll be looking at: 1213 Alacrity = 1.4 GCD 1590 accuracy = 110% accuracy 3000+ crit = 37-40% crit rate

I THINK, dont quote me, but I think assassin/shadow - deception/infiltration has the least amount of abilities with no real buffs to keep track of. In the simplest terms, just press what glows to do good damage. Again, dont @ me lol

Play it as a game, and not as a job. It's your own enjoyment, so yea... put it off till the end. And if by the time you still don't enjoy it, then there's really nothing else we can do for you.

Generally, still a step above. But if you mess up, an assassin can hand it to you

Maybe the refreshing of the kingpin machine was supposed to be for the emp slots as to enable it to reset. Maybe they fixed the wrong slots lol

There's no real consensus but they're definitely lower in numbers than DPS. I also think they're both underrepresented, not only in SWTOR, but in any other MMORPG's really I believe so

If you don't have a main to farm 306 gear yet, it's best for players without a single toon @ 306. This way, whales can insta 306 with the credits they have

If they're not going to implement a filtering method to satisfy a system that wants a random map selection, they should implement a system like GW2's structured PvP. Where players vote for a map, and it creates a roulette based on vote size, and the system will still pick in random with the voted map having a higher chance. This should satisfy a voting system while keeping the randomness factor. GW2 Structured PvP Selection

So I'm trying to farm an SM FP and all of a sudden about 15ish resets it says I've reached a maximum amount of resets I could do and then I'm unable to enter the FP. I can't even join a fresh OP for that matter either. Has that always been there or was this some ninja nerf? I don't know if I'm blind but I don't remember seeing or reading about it in the recent patch notes "You have reached the maximum number of phase resets allowed. Please try again later"

Sith Cultist belt is the plainest black belt I know of that doesn't dye no matter what

Don't know which guide out there has the right dps output, one says Weapon Expertise, the other says Armor Pen has most overall dps output. Is there a consensus on which one is best for Deception in regards to PvE/PvP content?

You may not like it, but homework. Study guides as what above post me said or experience the classes first hand by playing them. If you want to improve slowly but surely, just keep playing the game. Also helps to enlarge debuff/buff icons. You'd have to compromise the look of your UI if you want to practice spotting important enemy buffs if you can't visually spot it on the field

Yea, unfortunately you did miss the WB trains. It's now old content and as it goes in many MMO's, won't be as active as if it was current content

Well fortunately for you, you can make your character stronger by reaching the thresholds first, then supplementing it more with augments. Reach targets first, then dump everything into augments

I'm not really quite sure what you're asking but just to be sure, you're not confusing enhancements with augments right? Because depending on what you're looking at, the target stats ARE before the augments. So lets say your basic-across the board targets BEFORE augments for Alacrity and Accuracy are usually 1213 (for 1.4 GCD) and 1590 (for 110% accuracy) respectively without any augments. And you can build up to that with enhancements/implants/ear pieces alone WITHOUT augments. So in layman terms, if you were naked with nothing equipped, the target numbers are what you'd want to build up for. Here's an example build: The Alacrity target of 1.4 GCD is 1213 sum([401, 403, 409])=1213 The Accuracy target of 110% is 1590 sum([339, 398, 422, 431])=1590 and because you have a total of 10x gear slots and 14x augment slots that's a total of 7x gear pieces needed to reach the targets, so you can put the rest into crit leaving you with space for 3x crit enhancement/implant/ear and 14x space for crit augments. They can all be a mix of enhancements/implants/ear. These are all attainable WITHOUT augments. This is why they say you build for the threshold and then put the rest into crit. ____________________________ *108 is the tertiary stat of a crit/alac/acc augment 74 An extreme and unorthodox build can even be: The Alacrity target of 1.4 GCD is 1213 sum([108, 108, 108, 108, 108, 108, 108, 108, 349])=1213 The Accuracy target of 110% is 1590 sum([108, 108, 108, 108, 357, 364, 437])=1590 that takes up only a total of 4x gear pieces and 12x augments that reaches target. This leaves you with space for 6x crit enhancement/implant/ear and 2x crit augments. Now I don't know what kind of parse this build entails but its a possible build that reaches the threshold nonetheless.

Give up, the game has been like this. Other minor fixes you can try is playing in Fullscreen and not Fullscreen(windowed) other than that, it's just the game. It hasn't been optimized since it's conception. Many will tell you it's CPU intensive and it is, others will tell you it's something else. This wzone problem you have has also been mentioned in several past posts before, so sorry bud And so you know if it's not your computer, try another cpu intensive game, like Arma 3 or GW2. If you do fine in those games then obviously it's swtor /shrug

Lol it's an internet slang for someone trying to modify the behavior of someone or something that is/has been inherently there. Like if someone is trying to regulate the internet, which we all know that its a place for everyone, including your trolls and bigots, and they try to enforce their seemingly entitled opinion on it because they just don't like that something

Very truuu. It's the internet, it's a pretty lawless place. If you try to "Karen" the internet, it's gonna bite you back hard

Why'd you berate that specific example lol? It was just an example that shows how to read the output and what it meant. Of course there's a ton of combos you can do. You can do your combos, you can do someone else's combos, I just wanted to show multiple combinations you can do to reach that threshold, especially if you already have some pieces and if you can't get your hands on 3x R19's and and 1x R9. It's a guide, not a command. Follow your own if you want. And who knows, he may actually want endurance-focused enhancements while still trying to reach threshold It's just easier to have a list of combos you can already see without wracking your brain up too much on which one to get and calculate manually. EDIT: Code now includes repeat numbers in guide. The post above me stated that they used 3x of the same mods, now the code and output of my guide reflects that

Here's a guide I wrote exactly for these kinds of question detailing which combos of enhancements to reach the threshold exactly so you don't have excess accuracy/alacrity Guide to reach Acc/Alac thresholds But yes generally you'd want the unlettered enhancements, armorings and mods for high power low endurance combo

Is your group able to reach the kell dragon phase before the enrage timer? I honestly dont know if its our group, but we are fully optimized gear and augments wise and we believe that we shouldn't be dying that fast. And yea we save all the dcd's for the phase but no matter what we reach enrage timer, shoots, if only I have a video of it. But going off Dulfy's guide and even all the old comments for the operation, there's a lot of complaints about groups also reaching the enrage timer even though theyre group is fully optimized and shouldn't be reaching the enrage timer either.

So our group manages to do fine up until the point where the Kell Dragon appears for the last phase and does AoE. We wipe due to it just hitting us harder than what it felt like patches ago. Is it tuned correctly or bugged phase or is it just us? Cause isn't the Kell Dragon easier to down than Styrak's dps check phase? Usually the only real problem anyone has is the big ghost phase. Is anyone else experiencing this on HM as of this date?

Stat squishing in terms of floating combat text since gearing, stats, and numbers are getting higher and larger, damage will eventually be harder to read. It's still easy to read as highest achievable numbers are in the 100k and lower range but to just ask, are there, will there, or should there be stat squishing in the foreseeable future?

I use this for Lethality but it can also apply to Conceal SKILLFUL Chem Inlays - 5% defense Slip Away - CD reduce on hard stun Precision Instruments - cost reduc on snare and hard stun and cause everything else is crap for PvP, also for the sever tendon root I guess MASTERFUL Med Shield - Shield Probe 5% heal Evasive Screen - helps with staying in restealth and free cleanse when restealthing Fortified Kolto - Stacking damage reduce if you can keep it up I replace probes if I ever have a hard time keeping it up, or it's not in my muscle memory so if you have trouble keeping Kolto probes up, I'd switch it out for Cunning Competencies: for snares/root removal, and enemy damage reduce off of sleeping dart Or Advanced Cloaking - CD reduce on restealth The last tier is highly dependant on your playstyle, but I play lethal and take all the ones with healing, that's why you can 1vX if you take all the healing as lethal, anyways moving on HEROIC Escape Plan - CD reduce on your stun break and shield probe Revitalizers - stim boost now heals massive and combos with tactical overdrive refresh, and Curative Agent - if you forget to reapply Kolto and it falls off, adds 2 stacks right away, highly compatible with fortified Kolto, as well as another healing node Side Note on Heroics: Augmented Shields - 30% extra absorption is not big enough, shields still drop like a fly, you really only want the Shields for the 5% healing it does when it expires if you took the related node in the previous tier I'd trade out Escape Plan for one of these below, it just means that you have to choose your battle more wisely since you have to wait longer to go back into the fight if you want to play it safe with your stun break available. I'd choose more survivability during the fight than being able to fight safely often Evasive Imperative - CD reduc on your evasion everytime you get hit, good with Blow for Blow. With lethality your survivability is so strong that this is pretty efficient since you're staying in the fight longer and you get the most out of it. Can work really well with Concealment too if youre able to pace your rolls correctly which will enable you to have a really good uptime on being invincible. Mind you this node has an internal cool down of 1.5 seconds so not every hit you take reduces the CD that's why I said if you can pace your rolls you can take full advantage of totally negating big incoming damage. Blow for Blow - great against certain classes and specs that rely on heavy force and tech damage as they can essentially kill themselves, looking at marauders. Highly recommend if you can predict the next big incoming player damage, this is a high skillcap node as it's useless if youre just using it as a blanket DCD Mobile Strategies - adds knockback to your Overload Shot. This can be really annoying on maps with a lot of levels or verticality. More useful with lethality as you can stay on ranged while you disable them from capping a node, useless against Concealment as you have to be in melee range most of the time. The knockback arc is mostly horizontal and flat, and doesn't really push off the railings like a Juggs push, mercs, or even assassin/sorc pushes. This node is for trolling really not for anything else. The last tier is highly your own preference while the first and second tier are kinda meta and are really the only best options for pvp
