Is there any reason at all why Magenta expertise crystals do not exist? They aren't on the GTN and you cant buy it off the vendor.

Wont attacks like maul and clairvoyant strike miss?

Ok I need a little guidance from the resident pvp deception assassins here. Im at level 55 now. Should I be shooting for a pvp accuracy of 100/110 or less? Lot of misinformation out there but I dont want to miss!

What should I be targeting for basic/special accuracy as a Rage Mara in PVP? Im running 100 basic/110 special accuracy currently but I think that might be gimping myself. Theres a lot of misinformation out there and its confusing.

I have a pretty good idea on what I need to do to optimize my stats in PVP for the most part. Accuracy is at 100/110, overkill augments unless there is main stat talent, crit is crap, etc. I am a little unsure about what to do about the color crystal stats though? Are folks going with the +41 power or the +41 expertise crystals?

wow 20+ times? just lolololol protip: when you see those red circles appear where you are currently standing I highly recommend moving.

/walloftext didnt read it and I dont care.

im guessing the OP would just rather have a cut scene upon entering the room where you stab the hutt and be done with it.

So basically you are getting repeatedly one shotted by the giant red noob laser that you can see coming a mile away. Im kinda happy this laser exists because it basically screams "you suck!!!" when it fires. lol

Nope. I think it is bugged. Ive also got like 3 companions running the rich/bountiful slicing missions with maxed affection and +2 crit on slicing yet Ive gotten a grand total of zero thermal regulators the last 3 days. In the weeks preceding the 2.0 patch I was getting a steady stream of the regulators. I understand its RNG but I shouldnt be getting zero with those 3 companions running the rich and bountiful missions continuously.

or just stop playing until they fix the boLOLster trainwreck.

/signed get rid of bololster

This is really not a good thing folks and Ive been a lurker since the very beginning. There are so many threads being created since 2.0 that are either bashing lolster or just flat out disgusted to the point of unsubbing. Day after day its the same thread discussions discussing the obvious problems with lolster from a slightly different angle. Its really just semantics in the end though. lolster is a complete f'in trainwreck. I just haven't seen this kind of public outcry on the forums following a patch. Biofail has a real problem on their hands I think. Its almost like biofail is determined to run off the serious PVPers with each successive patch.

Im afraid the only way Bioware will acknowledge us is if we unsub, stop buying cartel packs etc.

For all intents and purposes 2.0 is Bioware's NGE.

I mean Ive got like 7 level 50 toons so its hard to quit but this bolster crap in its current state is going to be the last straw for me.

Sideblaze why, exactly, should PVP folks continue to play this game? Tell me. So we can pvp in the open world? lol So we can run the same 5 warzones over and over earning comms for PVP gear that is statistically worse than PVE gear? I want something to shoot for other than a stupid green logo saying I won the wz match. Understand I can still win with the bolster trainwreck so stop with the skill>gear bulls*** argument. The point is I, we, want to chase that gear carrot just like the PVE crowd wants to chase their gear carrot. MMOs are about gear progression. They always have been for as long as they've been around. I got my *** kicked in the beginning with the recruit gear but through practice, via the gear grind, I learned my class and became a much better player at PVP.

Shoot just get rid of the PVP gear altogether and allow the pvp crowd to spend their WZ comms on the more effective PVE raid gear. Its ridiculous.

Well I can say with conviction that my response to Biofail on bolster is a cancelled subscription. They got 50 days to fix this s*** before my sub runs out and Ive been a subber day 1. I mean seriously. Whats the point of grinding the PVP gear if PVE gear is better? Why? This is a f'in MMO for goodness sake where there is usually gear progression. I mean I can still kick some *** in warzones with the bolster bulls**t but whats the point if theres no goal to chase? The green victory logo? I was alright playing the same 5 warzones over and over as long as I had something to shoot for. Now its just absolutely pointless. Open world pvp was already pointless. Dammit this sucks. Anybody know of any good MMOs out there with good pvp? I really wanted this game to succeed and the only reason I hung this long is because Im a star wars fan.

I have the PVP vindicator set bonus so I want to maximize the additional 10% in damage on each Force Charge so for me its a no brainer to have close qtrs. Thats just my playstyle though.

links or it didnt....nevermind. lol Never a good sign when the dude instrumental in the development of the game leaves on his own. the wheels are coming off the cart..

Correct me if Im wrong but the only time you'd consider going power over strength would be once you've gotten your crit chance to 30% unbuffed. I would think you'd want to stack as much powah as possible at that point otherwise you'd be going into DRs with strength (STR applies a small perc increase to crit chance). As an Anni spec I know berserk gives me 100% chance to crit on bleeds however I want to maximixe crit chance on my bursty abilities like annihilate and ravage as well hence my reasoning for increasing crit chance to 30%. Thats my rationale when deciding between STR vs Powah.

Yeah my main is an Anni mara and Ive all but shelved my arsenal merc. Its kinda ridiculous when i attempt to play him in warzones. After I burn my 1 little CC I better burn the other guy down fast or its GG. Burning the other guy down aint happening usually cause if they have half a brain they're interrupting my TM cast thus preventing me from activating anything else in my arsenal.

Im just gonna say you're wasting your time in warzones speccing 31 lightning. Just like arsenal mercs you're pretty much a sitting duck and a free kill. Anybody with a half brain isnt going to allow you to stand there and free cast. As an Anni mara I have to chuckle when I see the progress bar move on a thundering blast cast. All I gotta say is you better force speed outta there quick because Im almost positive you dont want any part of whats coming next when I interrupt the cast. lol
