I used to have the same problem as you. Then I learned how to play the class. You want to spend 40-60% of the time stealthed. Pick 1 target, spike, burst DPS, and vanish. Rinse and repeat. When you get close to death force clock/shroud and bail. I don't claim to be a pro, but I can usually juggle 2 healers at once which is huge in WZ's. Between mind control, whirlwind, electrocute, low slash, and jolt it's not difficult to disrupt heals. And 1v1, it's rare my opponent takes me to half health before they're dead. You have to know what ability to use at the right moment, and track all of your CD's constantly. It's not easy, but definitely possible.

I've found more times than not VS or shock does equal or more damage than maul, unless on a heavily armored opponent where the 50% armor penetration matters. They both cost less force, esp when inducted is proc'd ( basically always), so I don't use maul unless I know it's one of those "the next hit wins it" and assassinate is in CD.

Thanks for all the advice so far. Some changes I've made: Bound mouse wheel to force shroud/force cloak. With a flip of the wheel I'm safe. VS to Q Shock to E Been grinding out Pvp dailies, and so far I'm 0/11 on champion bags (***?!) But I used commendations to get: Centurion Stalker Saber Centurion Force-Master's Focus Centurion Stalker's Waistwrap Centurion Force-Master's Bracers Champion Stalker's Implant Champion Relic RRR Relic (+WP, so i'm 2/2 on relics) Saving Champion coms for the saber. 1281 Willpower 251 Expertise Guess I'll just continue on the daily's and hope I'll eventually get some Champion crap... Question: Why the hell does so much of the Centurion/Champion gear have +alacrity? It's useless for deception

Odd, I very rarely run out of force. And when I do I electrocute/low blow and pop blackout. However, I never use maul unless I know I'm about to die and assassinate isn't up.

Well, I'm sitting at 304 surge with 25% crit. unbuffed. Gear: - Expert Primeval Seeker's Headgear - Columi Stalker's Robe - Untouchable Saboteur's Colicoid Gloves - Endowment Force Master Sash [superior] - Energized Stalker's Legwraps - Overkill Shade Boots [Advanced] - Endowment Hyperaccelerated Shield Generator [Mastercraft] (can't find a focus with better stats) - Truthseeker [Exceptional] - Champion Relic - Centurion Force-master's Bracers - Champion Stalker's Implant - Endowment nano-Optic Resolve System [Mastercraft] - Expert Hyperaccelerated Awareness Chip [superior] Is that really "just turned 50" gear? Took me a long time to put together. UPDATE: Just got 9 medal, and went 32:2. That's a big improvement over 5 medals. I spammed mass mind control at every chance, and mainly picked off people with low health. My basic approach was: Spike VS VS Shock Low Blow VS VS Assassinate Discharge Shock

Been 50 since 2 weeks after early access, but just now getting into Pvp. Don't take the SS as how I'm set up all the time, I wanted to show base stats. I usually use surging charge, and always have a reusable rakata resolve stim (+willpower +power) active. I only have a basic scroll mouse so I can't bind keys other than on the keyboard. It's irritating when I'm spamming abilities until I have cool downs as far as the eye can see, and my opponent still kills me easily. I can post screenies of my individual items. I've browsed the trade thing for hours and can't find anything better than what I've already got. What should my goal surge and crit numbers be?

I have the +power one now. What is the assembled RRR one? I don't have a ton of expertise because I do Ops more than WZ's. How does 700min damage fall compared to other classes/builds ?

I've recently been getting my *** destroyed in war zones. How do my stats stack up against you guys? What should I change? http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y117/The0wnage/Untitled-2.jpg Thanks
