Lol its 10 bucks. I spend that on lunch!

Dhariq,
I downloaded your nifty little calculator plugged in all my stats and am trying to make sense of it. I have 24266hp 46.48 damage reduction, 29.75 defense chance (with retaliation up) shield chance 49.1 absorb 51. Only relic worth mentioning is proc relic with 405 absorb.
optimal values come out as such..
Defensive budget 129.85 Optimal Def 129
Minimum Shield R 0 optimal shield 0
optimal absorb 0
Weapon/Kinectic (red) 30.7866%
Weapon/Kinectic (red) 2768.536
I'm not sure how to interpret the results other then the wording in the readme. If its red your stats suck!
Any help on figuring that out?

Group finder tool is all well and good, unless you are looking for a HM/NiM OP. Which the tool doesn't support. Simple enough of a few others have said, you don't want to look at it, close it. No one is forcing you to look at it you have the option.

No idea on percentages, but i see my shield blocking all the time. Obviously some attacks are not shieldable. But yes it is useful in PVE.

Whats the point? We have 2 fleet instances of dam near 250+ in each instances, people aren't queing. If i want to run an instance i'll build a group with a few guildmates and group a pug or two if needed. That way i get what i want, not 3 random people/classes tossed together. Good Luck with the group finder and Lost Island.

Set bonuses are only on Campaign gear, not Black Hole or Rakata.

You also get Black Hole Comm's from Explosive Conflict. You get some from killing the bosses and after each boss there is a chest between the bosses with comm's and crafting material.

Posted over three weeks ago-
Hi,There have been quite a few threads where you have voiced confusion regarding the end game itemization in 1.2 and I want to take the opportunity to clarify what you are going to see in the game when Game Update 1.2 goes live on Thursday.
One of the issues we are dealing with on the PTS Forums is that we are not only introducing changes from the current state of the game (1.1.5x), but also several changes a week. Without wiping our Forums weekly, it is inevitable that these updates cause significant confusion about what it is in the game, what is intended to be in the game, etc.
So, without further ado....
PvE
Tionese / Columi / Rakata Gear
These sets are not changing. Their stats have not changed from their pre 1.2 state and they are acquired in the same way as they were before 1.2, except for the following changes:
- The drop rate for Tionese commendations has been increased from all the existing sources.
- Columi can now be acquired, in addition to the existing sources, from the new Lost Island Flashpoint (Hard Mode) and their distribution rate has been slightly increased, mostly through weekly quests.
- Rakata can now be acquired, in addition to existing sources, from the final Boss of the new Lost Island Flashpoint (Hard Mode) and the story mode of Operation: Explosive Conflict on Denova.
A temporary change on PTS that modified some existing rakata gear has not been taken into the final version 1.2 based on testing feedback.
"Campaign" and "Black Hole" Gear
Campaign gear is the new tier of PvE set items we are rolling out with the Explosive Conflict Operation. It shares the set bonus with Rakata, allowing seamless equipment upgrades and is acquired through tokens acquired in Hard Mode of Operation: Explosive Conflict and the new World Boss on Belsavis.
All Campaign gear can also be reverse engineered for a chance to learn the associated schematic. For armor, this means a chance to learn the custom (orange) appearance of item, for implants, earpieces, mods, etc. This means learning to craft the item itself. All of these may be crafted critical for an additional augment slot or, in case of a mods, additional resulting items.
Campaign gear uses a different stat distribution from previous sets with greater variety of available stats and better base stats.
Unlike Rakata, Columi and Tionese gear, Campaign gear carries it's set bonus on the armoring of every piece. This means that players may transfer all mods and armoring out of campaign gear into any custom (orange) appearance available without losing the benefit of the set bonus. Please note that moving an armoring with a set bonus into a pre 1.2. item shell with a set bonus (e.g. a Rakata Shell) will be resolved with the armoring taking precedence (Sorry, no stacking here )
As mentioned previously, all armoring found in endgame gear now 'binds to slot' upon extraction - Armoring removed from a pair of gloves will only fit into another set of gloves. However, there is the possibility to acquire 'universal' armorings that fit into any slot through direct drops (e.g. not contained in an item). Those however will never carry a set bonus.
Black Hole Gear is similar to Campaign gear, but lacks the set bonus. It does however offer additional stat distribution options not available on Campaign gear. It also cannot be reverse engineered into appearances (although mods / earpieces, etc. can be learned).
Black Hole gear, unlike Campaign items, is acquired from trading in Black Hole Commendations found through weekly quests in the new Corellia area as well as the weekly quest for the Rise of the Rakghoul flashpoints (Kaon/Lost Island). It also drops on bosses in Operation: Explosive Conflict on all difficulties.
Two new color crystal variations may be found as part of the random drops in the new Operation: Black Core Purple and Black Core Orange. These colors are introduced separately from the weapons, which now come by default with more traditional colors available. It is worth noting that we are not extending the stat progression on crystals, meaning the existing +41 crystals found in 1.1.5 continue to be the top end of the crystal progression.

I have seen alot of threads claiming that moving set bonuses was bugged and it didn't work on my Columi/Rakata. They aren't bugged. This was on the PTS forums for quite some time as well as a few other places on the website.

90% of the community does not come on these forums. If you spent 2 seconds of your time attempting to look for the answers rather then berate the 56 people that looked at your thread, you might have found the answers.
Here i'll save you some time.

I downloaded the digital game, patched and installed and playing within 3 hours. Don't automatically assume it's someone else's fault that your internet connection is slow.

This is a tough FP encounter. When you kill one the others get stronger. You need a good healer and possibly second healer (BH or Agent come to mind) CC is worthless in this instance until the cannons. We rolled through here last night three times with SW (me) Inquis (healer/wife) BH (dps/small heals) and Assasin. I would hold aggro on the two melee as well as i could with leap and taunt, while guard the inquis due to all the heals she is throwing out. We would get them all down to around 10% then light em up and burn em down. This is the hardest encounter in this flashpoint IMO. Very hard for an average pick up group. Vent/mumble is very handy in this respect.
I have come to the conclusion that we are not made to hold aggro on everything at once like previous games. I focus on the most dangerous targets to the group and try to hold them down while the group kills the trash and use CC as much as possible. Force push is good for a few seconds , as well as choke once you get it spec'd for instant.
But yes i agree mostly i am having to mash taunt everytime its up in order to keep bigger mobs on me.

Unfair advantage. Will never be allowed.
