"The Lemming" Title..... sweet Troll guys

Still undecided.

Poor attempt at levity. Perhaps a little jab at players who play for reasons other than PVP. Go back to Pot5.

/Salute to you It's refreshing to see a member of LD that isn't on forums epeen stroking or talking smak. Best of luck in your future ventures.

The exit door is that way -------> Don't let it hit ya on the way out.

LOLZ.....PVP E-peen stroking on a PVE server is always hilarious.

Saw it was from LD-50 and clicked the back button

Kitru and Keyboardninja discussed this in a couple PTS threads. For PT tanks, going into the last couple weeks prior to 2.0 is Defense over Shield with absorb being a laughable waste. The devs stated that they were making changes to some specs that they did not include on the PTS. Kitru and Keyboardninja said they would get back with us after release.

I understand what you're saying. I enjoy my Troopers and BH's and don't get the same enjoyment others get by playing a saber-jockey. It goes without saying this game has been marketed for it's story and pretty much everything has been to encourage players to play multiple toons from day one. If that's not your thing then don't do it. Have fun and play it however you wish.

^^^ This without a doubt !! On a brighter note, might as well get as many achievements as we can while the game is still young to keep ahead of the curve.

Yep, still here.

These guys did it right. Better luck next time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji0opmQzhuk

Video #1 - Nice teamwork. Hurry and ROFL stomp these pugs so we can epeen stroke on fleet again. Video #2 - Snooze fest. Waste of time. Everyone knows guarding nodes is boring. Video #3 - Complain, whine, Boo-hoo, LD-fiddy be carryin' all yo sorry pugz. Lost all respect for you and your guild. Try sharing the knowledge and techniques like CM and a few others then perhaps you guys can enjoy yourselves instead of "Hard-core don't apply for our guild unless you were born with a mouse in one hand and keyboard in the other."

This is from page 29 post #286. I've messed around with it for dailies and such but it hasn't been recommended since last June

For PVE dps, Pyro is best. You'll get more overall dps by dropping the top tier talents and putting the points to max out the dps talents such as Steely Resolve, Rail loaders, Puncture etc. There are several threads that can explain the details to you. For PVP dps you're better off going with a basic full 31-pt Pyro spec. Burst is king in PVP. I have 2 level 50 Vanguards (AS and SS) so I leveled my BH as the AP spec. For an overall spec AP is what I'd recommend. I did about 50/50 PVP and PVE during my leveling. A nice middle ground of damage and toughness. I used dps gear and a shield with Ion Cylinder. I had none-zero-nadda problems with any of my quests at or slightly above level by doing this with Mako healing. It hurt my dps a bit but I just stayed with Ion Cylinder to be used to the heat management for PVP. During PVE groups with a dedicated Tank, I swapped to HEC. There were a several times the Tank went down or D/C'd and I was able to finish the fight by swapping to Ion Cylinder and already had my shield equiped. Elitist Jerks may talk smak if they see the shield but turn around and sing your praises when you save the wipe. in PVP, AP also has the advantage of not being too gimped if using Ion Cylinder. Some players swap to HEC as needed but I prefer to run Ion Cylinder when running AP (drop the HEC talents). Between damage, taunts and guard, I never go without my 8 minimum medals. Even in the pre-made Saber-Jockey smash fest as of late. Manage heat and you'll do fine. My first 2 points went into Combust then straight up the AP tree. Like everything in the forums this is an opinion. Use this and any other advice you receive as guidelines not gospel. You know the age old debate....Tough as nails VS Blow it up quick....Experiment a little and tweak it to suit your playstyle. Field respec for talents is the bomb!!! Good Luck and hope you enjoy your BH.
