Same goes for everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryuku-sama Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 wait i have to augment my expertise? Augment (as the slot) never have expertise. But you said you are using PvP crystals. You shouldn't use them unless your MH/OH is a PvP weapon (Exhumed, Dark Reaver). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KorinHyvek Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) To elaborate a little, if an item has any expertise on it, it doesn't get bolstered. This means that putting only the pvp crystals in an item disables bolstering of that item, which is, of course, not a good thing if the other mods are not pvp mods. Of course, I don't know if that's currently the problem here or not. Edited February 13, 2015 by KorinHyvek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMagee Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 You're missing 41 expertise. Chances are you bought a new MH or OH and didn't realize they no longer come with crystals. Find a War Hero Crystal, put it in whichever piece is missing, and you should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholicc Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 how to you take screen shots keybindings>misc>screen shot default is print screen on a mac keyboard it's F14 Screen shots get saved in an swtor folder in documents. you can only show one piece off a time though. :| you can skip your ear/implants/relics saber and shield might be a good start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icykill_ Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) i took my mods out of my pvp set and put them into my saber Including the hilt?... You must have all pvp items in the same piece or it doesn't bolster If they are all pvp items in you weapon/OH... Then the other 2 non pvp items aren't geared right... Make sure you do not have anything equiped over 162... If you do you will lose expertise Read my thread on gearing for 2018 expertise http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=795518 Edited February 14, 2015 by Icykill_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnashear Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 It's because you have a 41 exp crystal in your offhand with pve mods armorial enhancement. Take out that crystal and put in a pve one until you have a pvp offhand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not ever mix pvp and non pvp items in the same shell it will not bolster and won't add the extra expertise... In fact it should bolster the stats.. But it won't add any expertise to it... If having expertise in some piece of gear was blocking said piece to be bolstered, Brute wouldn't even be an option until you get Exh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
