denavin Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Eric: I saw in the patch notes that the hilts and barrles for weaopns will now bind to the possition they are in so no more switching off hand hilts or barrels into your main hand weapons. Very few classes use an off hand weapon so what are the single handed classes going to use now. Since there have been no new hilts or barrels highr level than 178 or 186 (if you can afford them) or 198 for Ops players (which I am not and can not afford the millions of credits to buy) they are still level 55 or 56, not 65. (Please notice the 10 levels of differance) So since there are NO new main hand weapons anywhere that I have found in the game now. HOW can I be effective in combat with 178 or 186 hilts or barrels (since I do not do Ops and do not have 198s)? I have heard that you can RE the 216 hilts and barrels but you can't get the mats to build them anywhere excpt from Ops or PVP (both of which I and many other players do not do) and you can not RE the 208s. So again I ask how do I combat level 65 content with level 55 hilts and barrels? Or is there somthing that I have totaly missed somplace. I am not criticizing, only confused and asking a reasonable question hoping to get a reasonable answer.
mokkh Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I got a 208 BoE hilt from a hm fp. So far that has been the only one (barrel or otherwise and I run a lot of hms) but they can be rare drops in hms.
HenryVaro Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 You can have either 208 barrel or hilt, just do Heroic 2+ Star Fortress and wish you have luck (it drop from Paladins, and each map just have 2, maybe it drop with the Exarch too but not see it yet)

Only gear, mods or enhancments.
Beohbe Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I have done all the heroic 2+ Star Fortress missions and did not see a single weapon, hilt or barrel drop. Only gear, mods or enhancments. So have I, and I've gotten hilts and barrels. Rng is rng.
Feztonio Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 the common, elite and rare (green, blue, purple) crystal turn-in vendors sell iLvL 208, 216 and 220 respectively for offhands (you can transfer the 208 offhand barrel into a main hand weapon; not sure if it's a bug or intended). if you want the main hands you need to run EV/KP which are easy as F--k. wait for them to be the day's weekly for even greater bang for your loot buck. regardless you have to group or spend millions of credits if you want a weapon at 216 or above.

Apparently the 208 swap from offhand to mainhand is indeed a bug, as they are listed in the patch notes for tomorrow as being bound to slot from now on.

Avalyssia Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I've had barrels and a whole lot of enchancements drop from the paladins - no mods of hilts though.
HenryVaro Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I have done all the heroic 2+ Star Fortress missions and did not see a single weapon, hilt or barrel drop. Only gear, mods or enhancments. So i'm the lucky one??? I have found one hilt for my Knight and one barrel for my Sniper; and like i said above, you must have luck (done a dozen of them but only find 2 - one hilt and one barrel)

dscount Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 You can do an SM Operation (EV) and that drops a mainhand on the last boss. It's one of the easier operations in game. The next option is S&V Operation in SM which is a tad harder and a LOT of Boss fights. OR.. pickup artificer skill and just make your own BLUE one.. it's pretty decent and if you do any conquesting you can RE and make a purple 216 that is pretty decent as well. (Uses one Purple Strategic Resource Material)

(Uses one Purple Strategic Resource Material) I have an artificer but have not seen any scmatics for anything above 178. Were do you find them or is it an RE thing and I thought the 208s could not be REd only 216s or 220s.

Those can be RE'ed for the schematic for unmoddable 216's.
DomiSotto Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) PvP is the easiest way then. Does not take that many comms to get the MH/OH. And relics. Yeah, forget PvE. PvE is silly this way. Edited November 17, 2015 by DomiSotto

As far as PvP... well I'm not a fan of PvP and have never done any PvP in SWTOR. Last game was EvE that I PvPed in. So would like to see if this can be done PvE if possible.
Deyjarl Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Drops and quests. Got custom tier main hand blaster as a drop (can't remember if it was a quest or drop), plenty of 208 mods that aren't bound from star fortress heroics.
CaptRogue Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 What are EV/KP don't know that one. EV = Eternity Vault (Dev walkthrough) KP = Karagga's Palace (IGN Walkthrough) Old classic (level 50) ops that have been scaled up.
