maybe its just a helpful reference to where you might want to be for the missions?

you must have typed that on a phone, or you are an asian language speaker (native).

saaaaaaaaay whaaaaaaat?

is there a way to modify your likelihood of 'critting' a craft?

My 2 cents... Bioware states that they do not have server forums because they are resource intensive to moderate what would ultimately become a flamefest. I agree that server forums become a place where people are called out by opposing factions and rival guilds. However, server forums have all the positives that have been previously suggested in this thread. Bioware is a very profitable company and surely knew the scope and cost of entering into the MMO genre (post WoW). MMO's flourish and are centered around the interaction with hundreds of people; its what seperates the genre from others. Why, then, would you exclude such a key aspect and prevent people from interacting in a largely social game? It hurts the emotional/social attachment that builds great MMOs. People leave, and come back to friends. People find spouses in MMOs. Open world pvp DEPENDS on server forums (at least in this game). There are so many reasons to implement server forums. Hire a few more Canadians Bioware, and ensure the community thrives

damage is damage. if our debuff helps everyone in the group kill faster, why would that not be a viable option for the group? not to mention our CC and utility.

Hey all, Last night, I broke 200k damage for the first time in a WZ. I'm level 23 specc'd into Balance, typical build at the moment which can be found here: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#601ZZcMfod.1 I had moderate heals from time to time, and we actually won lost that game too. I'm trying to figure out how this compares with other shadows. Preferably of different builds to compare their effectiveness. Anyone blowing that out of the water?

You realize the kinetic tree is for tanking, and thus has skills pertaining to damage reduction and threat generation...

er...what?

Wouldn't it make more sense to type this in the warzone as opposed to the game forums? I can't help you take the objective...here...on the forums.

There's still time! and thanks so much for sharing.

this again?

there are milestones in artifice that allow you to purchase new recipes (not learned through RE) from the trainer as stated above. if you go to torhead.com and look at the schematics, it will give you a rough idea as to how often you should visit them.

Thats the exact build I was tossing around using myself tho.

This forum has a lot of information on how to play the jedi shadow, especially as balance. I suggest you read several of the threads here to understand more fully how the class is effectively played. After you read, apply the concepts and tailor them to your unique play style. Shadow Strike, not back stab, should only be used to execute a target/add burst to a target who other people are unloading on and will drop very quickly/after find weakness procs. This class is not a rogue. It is a melee/ranged hybrid that utilizes CC and DoT effects to damage/heal. It is not easy to play well and is unlike any other class I have seen in an mmo. And I wreck damage charts with it too. Just sayin...

TYVM, I think I have only done the quest twice since I avoid going back to fleet.

derp.

But you can LoS like no other there too, so what are we really getting at?

bumpage

Excellent point. And I am not a huge fan of cross server. I enjoy knowing the people I fight and getting the better of them down the line. I don't think cross server will be necessary with the bolster system since anyone who is participating in PVP on a server will be able to join up. Good system imo.

I dont know about that. It allows you as a player to experience PVP with your friends at any level above 10 which is a very good thing. Carebear pvp is the most asinine thing I have ever heard. And I will particularly enjoy being level 50 and destroying people with the same health pool because the variety of skills available to me will be complete.

Unless you are master of the universe, you can always adjust your play style/strategy. I'm telling you, as a Jedi Shadow (of the least popular classes) that I do just fine without healing and a ton of CC counters. You need to hit mid 20's before you will start controlling engagements. I cannot sympathize with you as I don't experience what you are conveying. The only time I get wrecked is when I have skills on CD's or when I get jumped by a group. Otherwise, I am successful in beating opponents 5+ levels above me a good amount of the time.

You need to adjust the camera distance in your preferences. I can zoom out so far its hard to see whats going on...

You need abilities and talents that come with levels to be truly hardy as a tank and lethal as melee. This is no different than any other MMO. Casters/ranged classes always have the advantage early. Especially over more gear dependent classes (read: melee).

Noob question: Where do I obtain the weekly PvP quest? I can only seem to find the Daily...
