I feel like the information in that link is extremely old, like, beta-testing old or something, and just haven't been updated. If you look at Kolto Missile, it says that it only hits 3 people, when 1.2 brought it up to 4. Additionally, it says that Kolto Shell does not cost any heat, which it was pre-1.2. I can't be 100% sure, but I feel like this is just an section of the website that hasn't been updated in a damn long time.

I have no experience with raids, but I do with PvP. And I have to tell you, it's extremely difficult. BG was all about survivability and spike healing pre-1.2. With the changes, I'm sure that a HUGE majority of the BG community will agree that BioWare has killed our healing in PvP.

I honestly don't think the actual armor is worth it. None of the pieces have expertise, and you'd be wasting valuable commendations, which could be used later for Champ/BM gear. You can find just as good/possibly better armor around that level if you just scan the GTM. I ended up buying the implants and earpiece, and will buy both guns. This is just how I feel though. Good luck!

Wow, if this is true... We'll need more testing, but this'd be absurd if it turns out that another key aspect of the Arsenal spec has been destroyed. I feel like Mercs are slowly being bled out by BioWare.

Not sure what you're looking at bud, but neither of those abilities have a cooldown. And I agree, in most situations, TM tops PS. However, if TM gets interrupted, you'll want to have PS on your toolbar. Additionally, I believe that both are different types of damage, but I'm not exactly sure if that makes a difference.

Awesome, this is exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks so much! I'd say 75% PvP, 25% PvE. The PvE is pretty much just for leveling, once I hit 50 almost all my playing will be PvP.

Hello! Just specced into Arsenal this morning! I have to admit, it's a nice break from healing and having to worry about the rest of the group. I can just focus on taking out individual players, especially healers on the other team. Nice to have Mako back as well! Anyways, I've got no clue how to play. I feel like I'm just hitting TM pretty often, and throwing in RS and HSM whenever I feel like I've got enough TM's off. I also don't really use Unload as effectively as I could. Should I wait until I see barrage proc once, then fire unload, and wait for another proc and fire unload again? What should my rotation be looking like? Oh, and this is the spec I'm running with now. Any suggestions? http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#300oZMIkrordRzrz.1 Thanks!

Thanks for the responses! Yeah... I'm think I'm going full DPS. It'll be tough to learn basically a new profession/rotation, but I honestly think it'll be more worth it in the end.

Hello! I've been working my way through the game as a BG since day 1, but now I'm thinking about switching to a hybrid build. I just think that I'll be helping my group more in PvP w/this build, and will progress quicker through PvE (level 41). Any changes/comments/suggestions? Do you think it'd be more worthwhile/I'd get more bang for my buck by just going full Arsenal? http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#300bfRkkzcZMIkrRbd0z.1 Thanks!

You accidentally mixed the two up This is a great thread, hopefully we'll get some more input. I personally have done only 3 WZ's since 1.2, and for some reason they feel more chaotic. I'm definitely dying nearly twice as much as I was before, and last night I was outhealed by a level 30 sorc... It was embarrassing as a level 41. Guess we're just going to have to live with being perpetually hamstrung until the devs realize that we can't continue like this.

Hell yes, we need this. I used to LOVE hunting in SWG, and it was a nice way to make side-credits too The only issue I have is what BG's role will be in hunting. I just don't see healers hunting targets.

Just thought I'd give an update. Took the first poster's advice and took Torian, and I can definitely see a difference. We tear through mobs now. Yeah, he takes more damage, but not enough where I ever feel like he's in danger of dying. Mako = super survivability, Torian = faster leveling. Your choice! Thanks for all the responses

Agreed. Those three points would be better spent in Jet Escape and Tracer Lock. I'd also take out the two points in Empowered Scans. You're not going to be using CGC, so you'd probably get more bang-for-your buck if you put those points into Custom Enviro Suit or even Protective Field.

*sigh* Ah well. I really liked Mako. Thanks for the response!

Meh, BG is made for Combat Support Cylinder. You'd probably get more bang-for-your-buck using CSC (BG's main ability) than the other two cylinders once you hit Supercharged Gas. ~10 seconds of free Powershots, or free Heal Scans and Rapid Scans. Try all three though, see what works best for you!
