VarisRoa Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 documenting some speculations etc. gimme a few days It's been 6 days... I am ready for your revelations!!! Please teach us! I'm a 31/0/10 spec in full DPS gear... am I on the right path? crit 30, surge 70, rest power do those ancient values still hold true? Or am I straying from the true path. Are there combat logs that perhaps give new insight to our rotations? Like is 8-31-2 better or 2-31-8?? help us powerr-wan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerr Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 31/0/10 is still the best spec. It beats the 27/0/14 every time in duels as well as 27/1/13. Rotation is still the same. Need to make sure to keep your crit rating around 26-28% and surge above 70%. You want over 200 power and 18,000 life as well. 27/0/14 will supply you much more damage but you lose the much needed ability slow time. With the current fast paced speed of the game. People are getting ripped in seconds and that debuff saves people for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrgil Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) I'm currently stacked full on tank-geared for PvE on my Sith Assassin, and only have 1180 Willpower at best at the moment. Though endurance wise, I'm running very high around 1870 with 21k health unbuffed. My power and surge is abysmal at best and I'm using Survivor gear for PvE with Endurance based custom mods and armorings I found by myself on the GTN. I want to be able to dish out some damage like the one in the video, but I highly doubt I can even do that at this point unless I buy all new gear and start from scratch... Is it even possible now? Or do I switch to Stalker gear and see if I can balance out my End and Willpower. As of now, I'm practically invincible as a tank with a good healer in any Flashpoint (I hadn't tried Operations yet) but I can't get above a 2.5k crit even Recklessness/Force Potency on with Harnessed shocks. What can I do at this point? I want to be able to DPS decently without changing my gear so much that I have to start over. Any advice would help BTW I forgot to mention, yes I'm running the 31/0/10 spec but with my variations. It's a shadow tree, but it's the same as Assassin. I use it for reference to my Shadow I'm currently leveling. Edited April 25, 2012 by Barrgil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks much folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerr is buying stalker gear first then buying survivor, switching the mods into the survivor once he has both sets (powerr is telling me this on skype, apparently he unsubbed a day before his sub ended so BioWare didn't give him his well deserved 30 days... unbelievable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trakata Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Has Powerr quit, then? That's definitely a loss for the TOR community... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barreness Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hey there guys I see the survivor / stalker gear, what should I get questions above. I had asked the same a while ago. This is a pvp tank guide , so this doesn't apply to pve. Since 1.2 mangled the pvp gear system, if you don't have bm sets or centurian sets you can't get the bonus. That's the reason you get the survivor. To get the 2 piece bonus. Old way was to get the stalker set the grab 2 pieces survivor (what ever u like), put what ever mods in u want. You would grab full stalker and put the dps mods in the survivor pieces... Catch is you have to buy the 2 extra pieces.. Now the grind is harder to get comms so this seems like a choice for the hardcore. Powerr does have a new vid out and he says it's all about the synthweaving war hero gear.. This gear has augment slots.. And heres the kicker.. Despite having no indication of the sets bonus.. Using a crafted war hero chest piece will carry over the bonus. So.. The optimal gear set to get is critical crafted synthweaved sets.. 2 piece surv.. 4 stalker .all dps mods. Tip...grab the expertise crystal first if u haven't already .. And u can use red without dark side Tip... Use Nadia to crit your synth.. Or pay large .. With her affection level crits are plenty. Tip.. Use the defense trink , great for preventing caps , and static power stat. Quartz- jedi shadow- Fatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayGunner Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 So.. The optimal gear set to get is critical crafted synthweaved sets.. 2 piece surv.. 4 stalker .all dps mods. Can't get 2 piece bonus and 4 piece bonus. You need to make a choice between the two. It comes down to personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barreness Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Sorry to confuse.. You won't get the 4 piece bonus.. Like mentioned Meant to say grab 2 surv.. And rest stalker dps pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafy_Bug Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I don't know if he still is a part of the community but I would like to thank him for his effort in making those guides. His contributions to this game allowed me to see what I was doing wrong in PVP with my shadow. I upped my game from zero (first time MMO for me and I was a clicker) to someone who is constantly using keybinds, macros with both his hands and who tops the warzone list in 99% of the cases.

dronepilot Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I have a volor 73 War Hero, with 4 set bonus, most are BM pieces, and I had a friend crafting Stalker WH augmented pieces too,. The mods are expensive to remove, but remove them BEFORE you hand over the BM shell, to exchange for War Hero. I am waiting to see the feedback on 1.3 PVP, and decide whether my Shadow Infiltrator has any future in PVP now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psikofunkster Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Shadows can't wear medium, heavy armor right? which is the best rotation for a shadow kinetic 50? the one posted on the first post? update: here i have my answers lol http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=378888 Edited June 20, 2012 by psikofunkster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thompsons Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 The sticky should be removed from this. Since 1.3, it is no longer even remotely relevant. To leave it stickied is grossly misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
