Backhand is the highest (by far) threat in the Immortal tree.

If only Illum actually had PvP I might agree, but what's there right now is vastly inferior to what happens in the WZs even with the idiots who afk. At least I don't have to drive around for 15 minutes to find someone to fight.

While I agree with your fix in general that you should be able to get back into the instance I've run HM FE at least 10 times with my Jug and never had a problem getting knocked off.

This is as nonsensical as saying you either balance with healing or without, with CC or without, or any of the other myriad methods of damage mitigation. You've made a statement and failed to provide any convincing evidence that guard is somehow different from other kinds of mitigation they are all factored in and yes it sucks that the match maker doesn't seem to try and put together teams so that everyone has a healer or two, a tank, and decent dps.

Turn it into the Columni vendor on fleet for the offhand you want.

Plenty for sale. Random(as random as their library supports) numbers in large numbers produce random results. It would take a very large data set (way more than any one person could do in years of game play) to even produce statistically significant results. Unless you have data that covers 1k-2k runs you're not even gonna be able to see a pattern if there is one.

This ^^

Yeah, we noticed it (and bugged it).

The interrupt and the extra buff. I can't see anyone wanting more than one mara for example.

The game has way too many kinds of currencies, social points are one of several that ought to be removed completely. On that note, why exactly do we need 3 different kinds of PvP currency?

Dual spec trees.

I doubt you're RAM bound, I run the game at max settings (1920x1600) with 4 GB of RAM. I'd guess your limiting factor is your video card and that's where I'd start, but your CPU might also be an issue.

Random Number Generator

All debuffs seem to be keyed to the user that generated them so the -ACC from Smash also double stacks if you have two Jugs.

Rank 126 gear for HM FPs (which you can get in your orange from mods). HP is not (especially for a tank) the right stat to judge by since mitigation >>>>> HP

Rather than making the third faction a hard choice I'd say let players go rogue/merc/third_party for warzone purposes only. That way BW doesn't have to build a whole set of storylines (at first) just to achieve balance. If the zone is out of whack from a faction standpoint the game could automatically move or offer rewards to move to the over populated faction.

I don't, I think they look silly but it doesn't stop me from wearing 'em

This is similar to what I run, except I go up further in Vengeance to get Accuracy instead of lowering the cooldowns for FC and Ravage.

Proof? This is a screen shot of the same kind of spawn camping we know is happening and doesn't show any valor rewards much less 450k for anyone.

Didn't see that, but if its true then of course that would be an exploit but diminishing returns are in and do work so killing the same person over and over is very inefficient over time.

If you don't do damage you don't get credit for anything, ask the healers this morning how much valor they got.

Didn't say it was ok, its not. All I'm trying to do is make sure we talk about things that are actually problems instead of screaming the world is ending and people have over 9000 valor rank because of 1.1 Illum is ****ed up right now because of piss poor spawn design (Bioware's fault) and gross faction imbalance on most servers (player's fault).

Not everyone, I had the same experience this morning. I was getting 4-5k per hour camping the republic spawn like everyone else in the OP group.

From what, 59?

None of the screens or livestreams show anything more than spawn camping and people getting 4-5k per hour.
