snowmon Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 i like what you do for the community round here, but i just have 1 issue with this post what do you think you are doing telling people to ding 50 and buy Recruit gear??? that is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard and i suggest anyone reading this to NOT buy Recruit gear UNLESS you are intending on doing PvP, please do not go in to HMs with this crap. what she should be telling you is onec you hit 47 get back to Belsavis and start doing your dailies for the tokens and epic mod rewards buy the time to hit 50 you will be almost kited out, then all you need to do is pop over to the GTN and buy the rest, it will be ALOT cheaper. this is exactly what i did at the weekend when my Operative hit 50 saturday night. i implore you, DO NOT buy Recruit gear if you are headed in the PvE direction, its just terrible.

Aurojiin Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 -snip- Hopefully no one listens to this guy. For one, Recruit PVP gear is bound to be better than what fresh 50s will be wearing. Two, using daily comms on level 51 mods is, frankly, a waste. Recruit gear is sufficient to beat the easier HM FPs or Story mode EV with a good group. Saving your comms for the earpiece and implants is a much smarter idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two, using daily comms on level 51 mods is, frankly, a waste. Recruit gear is sufficient to beat the easier HM FPs or Story mode EV with a good group. Saving your comms for the earpiece and implants is a much smarter idea. i neva said spend your daily coms on mods, i said get the mods from the heroic dailies. and i have been in plenty of HMs with people kitted out in full recruit gear and it neva ends, not once have i finished a HM (except BT) with people gear out in that, they just cant cope with it. and easy HMs? hmm Foundry = u aint getting passed HK47 BP = you aint getting last boss down D7 = u aint getting passed Bulwuk BoI = not getting passed the guy with adds FE = you should be ok if u are competent enough BT = eaz mode dont even bother looking at the Rakghoul ones if your guild is good enough rather than doing HMs you best of just going straight to EV + KP this wasnt supposed to turn into a flame but pfft, some people...recruit gear is for pve and has no place in HMs, simple as that, and you should not be telling people otherwise. like i said, other than the fact you promote recruit gear in PvE its a good post.

Aurojiin Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 like i said, other than the fact you promote recruit gear in PvE its a good post. It's not a bad option. Once again, it's a lot better than what fresh 50s will be wearing. I'm done the easier HMs (False Emperor, Maelstrom Prison) with the following composition: Tank: some Recruit gear, some oranges with 50 mods DPS 1: basically geared entirely from daily reward mods Healer: ditto, but with Columi gloves (dropped from XRR-3 lol) DPS 2: outright Recruit gear We managed fine. If nothing else, Recruit can handily fill in gaps in your gearing to get you into HMs sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorwen Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Sadly I was going to buy some PvP gear when I got to 300k since my JG gear can't keep up with what is need for the planets, but It seems BioWare changed it during the last patch so you can only buy it with Commendations now. They purposely put weak mods on vendors so you only equip moderately well trying to force you to buy from crafters when the economy is crud because if you craft and can't do the dailys then you don't have the money to afford to buy. This is the 4th or 5th thing BioWare has messed me over with lately and I hate to be another one of "those", but it almost isn't even worth the effort of playing any more. Edit: A friend said he could still see the gear so I'll have to see what is going on that I can't. Edited May 1, 2012 by Sorwen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Pi- Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Any other way to play this game after 50? Apart from Roleplay if you don't want to GRIND gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurojiin Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Any other way to play this game after 50? Apart from Roleplay if you don't want to GRIND gear? Well... no. As with all games, content is finite. You don't have to "grind" for gear though. You can easily gear up in normal EV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediJudoChopx Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Thank you for this guide OP. I have a friend in my guild that is nearing lvl 50 and I plan to walk him through dailies and getting geared. etc. so we can run them together. This will give him a nice read while he is at work. xD I also posted a link to this thread on our guild forum help section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fogsong Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Thank you Dulfy- A very well written and understandable guide. I appreciate the hard work you obviously put in to do the research AND the clear and informative write up. I just hit 50 myself for the first time on my Marauder (started him at pre-launch = I am slooow) - your info here and at your blog kept me motivated after you have that "woot finished - oops, now what?" moment. cheers and have a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
