  1. Ah yes, those were great times. Good Luck, KBN.
  2. ^ This. I have a lot of empathy for those who invested tons of time to in this 'rigged' contest.
  3. Not worth it... It may result in more damage in the first 15-20s, but you'll have ability conflict in later GCDs which costs you DPS in the long run. Somewhere over the last 15 pages I believe this was already discussed.
  4. This is linked in my guide in case you didn't see it - maybe it will help. The opener in that video does not seem very good.
  5. My guide is definitely target at end game play unfortunately. For leveling, Anni is fine although probably the slowest of the 3 (although stuff dies so quick anyways). Still, I think a simple Force Charge followed by Rupture then Smash to DoT spread will be a good enough strategy for leveling. Are there specific parts/issues you are struggling with?
  6. I am still really enjoying Anni at this point although I'm sure I don't play it as much as you Adarell_Solo. The spec definitely doesn't have those burst of excitement/intrigue when Rupture procs/fails to proc. Still, what I like about the spec - and I'd like to see more of it - is the harmony achieved by two seemingly incompatible CDs - 9s vs. 12s. I don't know how exactly to expanded this dissonance, but I wouldn't object to it. In any event, I'm resigned to never recapturing the 2.X playstyle; it will always be my first love.
  7. I have 4 slot machines and would be willing to open it up for select individuals. I am on Shadowlands, PM me for more info.
  8. Just to be clear waiting till 4.3 for a fix to the numerous affected Flashpoint and Ops bosses is unconscionable.
  9. Let's see if I can restart this conversation... and never killed Kephess. Still, I agree with the rest of your assessment of MoX...
  10. To be honest, this wasn't really an area I cared that much about. I was specifically trying to answer the question of how to better gear and better play my Mara. And, I wanted to be able to prove everything I recommended, which is all about controlling variables. At this point, I don't believe any of the content requires optimal DPS to beat (although I haven't tried NiM Brontes since 4.0). Thus, whether its Carnage or Annihilation you'll do fine. If someone tells you that your preferred spec won't work for a particular fight, they are likely not a very good player and I wouldn't suggest listening to them. (This assumes you are capable of playing your preferred spec.) Finally, I think one of the most interesting things is figuring out how to optimize your outgoing damage for each boss. We have lots of tools in bag to help us overcome any situation - Berserk, DoT Spread, careful use of Deadly Saber as well as a great # of CDs.
  11. We've been the apex predators for much of 4.0. The problem with being at the top is the only place we can go is down I think everyone should delete their highest parses and upload one that are 15% less...
  12. Hi and thanks. To be honest this week has been incredibly busy for me IRL & with Valentine's Day this weekend I doubt Mrs. Oofalong will let me do much SWTOR stuff. I expect to have some time early next week to analyze and update everything.
  13. These new Chance Cubes suck. I have been a large spender in the Cartel Market, but I will no longer do so as long as Chance Cubes exist in new packs.
  14. Lol, thanks. I didn't really expect name recognition except that I created this thread to share my guide, which I kinda assumed meant people had read it
  15. Sorry, a 500 point swing in your DPS should not occur from switching some crit to alacrity. I guarantee there were other changes - most likely in rotation. A parse has a number of variables: each ability has a damage range, crit %s vary, and deviation from a strict rotation - not to mention changes in APM - will all have a much larger impact DPS than going from 1,500 crit to 1,300 crit. And, +/- 200 points in crit will not affect DPS by 500. Think of parsing and testing different builds like a science experiment. You want to eliminate or control for as much variance as possible. Lol, I don't post in MY thread for 2 months and I'm relegated to anonymity
