Switch to Virulence problem solved from what I was able to ascertain.

OMG, I'm also a sniper and for the love of god I must be doing something wrong as well. What I've found that as soon as my pack abilities turn dark (assuming that is due to the less then 25% auto thing) I'm dead. I've gotten her down to maybe 33-25% then get stunned and die. I basically have to DoT her, run in circles and do the no energy auto attack. Hopefully there's a sniper out there with some insight. Thanks!

I would agree, I don't think alacrity in pvp is worth it other than the regen which I rarely have issues with. Power, Surge Accuracy although I'm beginning to think accuracy in pvp should be avoided.

I am experiencing this same thing. I've been going to my ship to get it to work as a work around. I've played 3 characters since patch and my 55 & 52 were both logged out on Makeb when the patch went live and are experiencing the queue bug. My 28 was on the fleet and I haven't had an issue. Perhaps it is related to Makeb, but I'm not sure at this point.

I can't help you much with the stats, but am thinking that alacrity and critical may take priority for MM. Just wondering what insight the community has to say.

I agree with you and was expecting more with 2.0 due to the FoTM predictors. 2 1.5 second snipes to get a 1.5 second ambush can be difficult in pvp. What was it crit on snipe or SoS to get the 2.0 second ambush before? I should say that I prefer MM spec. Guess I'm just not real impressed to start, but I think that's what makes expansions fun. May be a good time to play with eng or leth again. On a side note, maybe the FoTM predictors did pve or maybe they were trying to get us snipers going...

As everyone has said you really don't need it, but once you've completed your min/max war hero set I figure why not start on the elite gear. I did get the main/off hand, bracers & wrists in the elite variety and am min/maxing from there. Probably could have gone about this in a cheaper way, but can't say that I care.

^ totally agree!

I must reiterate that if you queue regular wz's then a beer/whiskey and pandora are a must. I have also noticed an unusual amount of people are avoiding targets. You know, the ones with the giant symbol above their head? Honest to god, if you took my killer targeting skills and removed them from a match, the GD tank would be targeted more often then not. Disagree? Go ahead and give it a try, I promise I'm not wrong. If there is a more basic concept to pvp than this please let me know. The op is either on to something or on something, but I must agree with him/her. Please note: If you don't like alcohol then some tea or a spliff will suffice.

I rolled a Republic toon.

Just do dailies blah blah blah! Dailies are sofa king boring I would prefer to watch paint dry. I agree with the OP that the price should be reduced for subscribers, but really who am I kidding? 30k is pretty easy for me to afford and all I do is PvP maybe 4-6 hrs per week tops.

Oh crap... I don't care about the battlemaster gear as it's fairly easy to get, but I can't exchange my war hero gear...

I think the ridiculous thing is that the OP got full WM marauder gear and didn't realize there were better set bonuses unless I totally missed something. I've spent a ton of hours working on my WM sniper gear and I know what I want days or at least hours before I get there. *** were you doing in your spare time would be my question. That being said, marauder gear should be the desired gear for a marauder which apparently Bioware has confirmed. I also have to say that I enjoy these types of small advantages you can receive by paying attention. I'm all over the place here, but *** it.. I like to drink.

I've gone Annihilation. I only do main quest and pvp. I've finished chapter 2 which is lvl 40 or 41 quest at lvl 37 and it was ridiculously easy. You will be missing quite a bit, but it does not matter. I've played all classes through lvl 35 and this one is the biggest cake walk of them all. As far as pvp goes it's pretty close to the same. I don't even flinch at 2v1... me being the 1. I did go through a respec phase, but ended up back at annihilation. Perhaps this is the advanced class which suits my play style best as a previous poster has mentioned.

Changes look interesting and I am particularly excited to test out the stealth updates. Resolve changes look scary for skilled teams, but I guess that's what TC is for. Keep up the good work!
