I've been playing this game a month after it came out and i tended to do everything solo, eventually friends started playing and started to do flashpoints and HM flashpoints. After awhile of doing these i want to start doing Operations but my friends are not always on so i find it difficult to find groups that will let me run with them in Operations. luckily i completed my first EV last night, on Sm with Tionese and a couple of Columi parts. I saved up enough coms to be able to finish off my Columi set and had enough credits to buy Rakata implants, war hero bracers, ear piece, and Sniper rifle, ( maxed Warzone comes before hitting 50) now i want to move up in PvE gear but it confuses me with the mixture of gear for Sniper. i know the set bonus i want is field tech but it seems that i can only get the set bonus from the campaign armoring. should i wait on using coms to buy that armoring or should i try to get Rakata gear first?
As well I'm a big on Learn by doing attitude, and it seems that it makes it difficult to join operations because i have the sense that people will get upset if i am not doing what should be done. This being my first MMO that i have played i know some stuff like not breaking CCs is one thing that should be avoided. ON on that note is there anyone that will be willing to let me run some operations with them that way i can learn how they work.
I play on the server Prophecy of Five and i am a Marksmen Sniper named Give.
Any information will be helpful on what i should do.
Thank You.
