  1. I'm going to ask here since I don't think that this question requires opening a new thread. My apologies to the OP, is not my intention to "steal" your thread, I hope that both issues can be discussed. Even when the Infiltration Shadow's ability priorities in the normal rotation hasn't changed too much with respect to how they were before 4.0, the introduction of Shadow Stride brings some changes. My question is regarding the use of the Adrenal. I would think that the best place to use it in the rotation would be just after Shadow Stride and before the first force breach, I would suppose (not 100% certain how the adrenal would work) that the 15 sec buff will cover the first use of force potency after the Force Breach generated by Shadow Stride, and then the second Force Breach back to back from the first use of Force Potency, it is that a fair assumption?
  2. What I would like is to have the chance to start a romance with Lana down the road. For example my Smuggler was with Risha at the end of the story, and for that reason he didn't take any "flirt" options with Lana in SoR and skipped the early chances to do so in KotFE. He reaches the Gravestone and received the letter from Risha where she says that she moved on after three years. Depending of the Risha's current circumstances he possibly would decide to let Risha go. He has grown quite fond of Lana, and he is extremely grateful of all what she has done for him, warming up to the point of loving her, but he wants to be certain of what to do with his feelings with Lana once Risha shows up in the story. It seems to me that the story should open opportunities to start a romance with any other of the romanceable new companions in successive chapters depending of the current stage of the previous love interests. Even would be more exciting if romance options open for character with LI previously assigned to other classes, for example a male consular romancing Kira, and so on...the possibilities are huge storywise
  3. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=357989 Has the ages of the companions, collected from different sources. Kira is 20, Nadia is 22, Mako is 19. As the first and so far only known Force sensitive Sarkhai it is reasonable to assume that Nadia grew extremely shielded from the rest of her peers, something that was reinforced by the influence wielded by his father as a Senator and by the fact that Sarkhai as a world hasn't been in connection with the rest of the Galaxy until recently. This can explain a lot of her naiveness. Kira and Mako upbringing on the other hand gave them a LOT of worldly experience, explaining their attitude, way more mature than what you would expect from someone at their age raised under different circumstances. With that said for me the creepiest romance was Ashara, for the reasons outlined before, I completely felt disconnected of my Inquisitor when he romanced her (he was neutral). It felt to me more like a relationship of "convenience" since none of them are able to lead a "normal" life. They bonded based on that, not real love. The most illogical, not necessarily creepy, to pursue up to the end for me was Kaliyo. My agent grew fond of her until events with her further in the story. My agent didn't put too much stock in their relationship, since Kaliyo was not interested in a serious relationship anyway. I think that he would have ended warming up to Raina regardless of Kaliyo's actions (He married Raina).
  4. Trying to move forward with KotFE story on my Trooper. There is a mission where my character is asked to kill a Swamp Rancor in Zakuul, it doesn't show up anywhere and I can't move forward with the story until it is killed, I've reset the instance multiple times. Please solve it.
  5. I'm having issues with the Launcher recognizing the code that I enter from the mobile authenticator. I'm able to access my account in this webpage with no issues, meaning that I am entering the right password (that in the launcher doesn't show) and the authenticator code appropriately. In order to play I have been forced to remove the authenticator from my account temporarily (I reattach it once I leave the game for the night, so it is not hacked when I'm not playing) even when doing this process gives me some issues too (I need to delete and download the app two or three times to finally make it synch with my account) Is someone else having this issue? Any advice?
  6. Maybe they implement something like they did with Dragon Age, the Keep. There you can change your previous choices, the game pulls the information from there and then all the consequences came from the keep instead of your playthrough. I personally wouldn't retcon any of my current choices if their consequences on the expansion are not perfect, it would make an interesting twist.
  7. Shadow Strike has a behavior that resembles the "backstab" ability in other games where it appears. In order to be available you need to be behind the target.
  8. Even when Project is not useful in the rotation for "tank and spank" fights where sustained damage is needed, I've found it quite useful for some scenarios (that appear more frequently in PvE than what you would expect) 1) Dealing with CC'ed mobs too close: Force in balance AoE effect can break CC in mobs that are too close. My parses show that, starting my rotation with Project instead of Force in Balance, followed by Sever Force, Force Breach and then Double Strike when procs of Force Strike/Find Weakness are not up, my DPS in the duration of these specific fights (usually strong/elite trash that die quickly) is equivalent than the one that I could have output starting with Force in Balance in a mob in that health range, without the risk of breaking cc. Perhaps the explanation comes from the extra damage that having Twin Disciples up makes up for the boost in DoTs that Force in Balance provides. 2) Spike damage in key mobs: Fabricator Stun Droid Adds are strong mobs (silver), however, its stun effect can nullify Healers in key moments where the Tank needs to be taken care off. I've found that Project gives me the spike damage that I need to dispatch them quickly. Just an idea, my Guild is just starting in HMs, and all these assessments were done with Columi gear in all slots but Implants and Earpice (Rakata) and Relic (Black Hole +Power relic)
  9. Will do, I was really interested when I saw the demos and I was terribly dissapointed when I saw the warning, but I didn't want to take the risk
  10. Check your computer for malicious software then, my Antivirus warned me when I tried to download the Mox Parser...
  11. Hello I a relatively new level 50 in Ops, we just starting last week on normal. My gear obviously is not top notch. A piece of Tionese gear, and whichever stuff you could get from daily commendations before 1.2 release, plus the first PvP relic accessible to me (not a hardcore PvPer) and the shard relic. My Crit Multiplier is ~ 71%, crit is ~ 31% Acuraccy ~ 98% We one-shot the bosses but when I saw my parses my DPS was painfully low. I checked the parses in the opening post and the proportion of the total damage of my abilities is similar to what he showed, that hints me that I am playing my rotation relatively tight, but my double strike (highest % of the total) is hitting by WAY less than his. Is this a gear issue? Or there is something in the rotation that I can do to boost the double strike damage that I am missing (I was running that time the PvE balance spec recommended in the Jedi Shadow Handbook without Project in the rotation, I respecced yesterday to one that doesn't have the project buffing talents)
  12. You won...we are now playing Galaxy WoW Happy? WARNING: I tried to download this yesterday and IT SEEMS THAT IT HAS KEYLOGGERS
  13. I want to improve my game, I find it fun and interesting and I strive to do my best every single time. Gear is the tool that will help me to do it better. I honestly would love having end game gear without any distinctive look so I dont stand out in the crowd. If you are trying to get the "best gear" and "feel superior" or "not getting embarrased", I think that you need to revisit your priorities in real life, just sayin'.
  14. This is essentially what I am preaching as well. Even when is not an "operation" scenario, I was having a hard time with the final boss of one of the chapters in the Consular Class' quest, essentially because I got there too fast and was way under the recommended level. Out of frustration (mea culpa) I went to Youtube and looked how other people were fighting that boss. I found that 1) They were at the right level to face the boss, 2) They were doing pretty much the same that I was doing. However, I didn't give up and went back to face the boss. This time I realized that there were elements in the room that I could use to my advantage, and that no one of the posters of the Youtube videos, either used or even realized being there. Once I made smart use of these elements the fight became doable and one-shot the boss with pretty much 75% of my health up. I didn't complete the challenge using "brute force" DPS, I just thinked and looked around, instead of giving up or keep banging my head stubbornly trying to use what the videos of Youtube were suggesting.
  15. I don't agree. At the end of the day, people asking for "information" what they want really is "shortcuts". They are more worried for getting the result as fast as possible than about thinking how the group will get there. Without that kind of "information" people is forced to strategize, try different things, think out of the box. Possibly the strategy that ends working for your group and leads to a boss kill (that we all agree is what matters, isn't it?) would be completely different than the supposedly "unique" one (enter TankSpot). First kills will be rewarded to smart teams, not droid ones.
