I'm torn between pure Rage and a 0/22/19 Venge/Rage hybrid at the moment. I spent a long time playing Vengeance, more than Rage or a hybrid, but it can't compare to them in PvP for me anymore. I had decent damage as Venge, but I always get more as Rage or hybrid, I also get kills quicker and easier. Vengeance has nothing a hybrid doesn't IMO. Hybrid has good damage, a Super Smash once per minute, better rage costs, more sustained damage and a better finisher. Rage gets lots of Super Smashes, 20% armour penetration and a snare that fits into your rotation.

Not purely for Unstoppable, but Unstoppable is -very- useful. After trying all three specs, I'm on a 0/22/19 Venge/Rage hybrid spec: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#101ZIMMRMukzZGr0ddbM.1 I struggle with snares some time, since if I want one I have to waste a GCD on Chilling Scream. Still, you have super Smash, Obliterate and Shien Form, Unstoppable, and even the 50% Savagery is very useful too mainly for Vicious Throw. You lack Force Crush so you miss out on some super Smash spikes and the snare as mentioned, but just a guaranteed crit Smash is pretty good and should be used off CD every time. You will have zero rage problems too, what with Shien form and free Smashes. Not sure if it's better than pure Rage, but it's certainly viable.

I got my SW to 50 a few days ago and it was tough. I was always atleast equal level to my quests. if not one or two above, and still struggled. I dropped tank spec for solo'ing at level 30ish because tanks seemed both too popular in warzones as well as not very good in warzones, something I enjoy and have done a lot whilst leveling. Having tried both Vengeance and Rage more than once from 30 to 50, Rage is by far the most difficult spec to solo with despite having some nice spike damage for PvP. Venge seems to have the better damage by a long way, whilst not really losing anything. I found that in both specs, despite being fully specced for them, I still did better in Soresu form than a DPS form - which is ridiculous. But yeah, 60% more armour(20-25% more damage reduction) and more shield chance always seems to be better than 9-12% extra damage and reduced rage costs/improved rage generation even when you're not in Immortal spec. I found the best way was to have Malavai out, though it's slower than a DPS I could survive longer and then put more DPS out. A shame, because I wnated to use Jaesa, but Malavai always turned out to be the better choice. Groups I died on with her he made easy. Two Strongs always remained a problem, with even one and a couple of normals wrecking my health bar. Funny how I could PvP fine, and beat almost anything one vs one in any spec, but PvE is too difficult. Regardless of your spec, I find it amazingly obvious Juggernaut needs tweaking. I've spoken to a few whilst leveling, and watched a lot of them die, so it's safe to say this problem is affecting a lot of people.

New servers will have to be opened which rank higher on the alphabet, I'm sure.

Swotor.

I feel enlightened.

Not sure why this was moved to the General Discussion when it's a Community issue, oh well. I really hope someone sees it and makes the urgently needed changes.

Really? If you can heal by hovering the cursor over a frame or player why not just press that button on your mouse whilst doing that to target them? Admittedly I've never used mouse-over healing, but having played a healer in a variety of MMO games for over seven years I've never struggled in the slightest by targeting who I want abilities to go to

An MMO forum without server specific forums? Not good. I know Bioware is new to the MMO genre but server forums are a -must have-, not just an optional extra. It's just a matter of time until they fix this major error, I only hope it's sooner rather than later.

You don't, it's an Inquistor-only entry. There are several that are class specific throughout the game.

Yeah, I preordered in Decemeber too. /headdesk Hopefully we'll be lucky ^_^

The 'Legacy' system of earning things on a server-wide level is nice but they don't need to restrict character-specific surnames to do it. I was a little bitter in my last post, it's frustrating, but I do want my point taken constructively to get things improved.

Damn straight.

Nope, every character of yours will have the same last name on each server. Bioware based it on Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker having the same surnames as they linked it into their Legacy system. A problem with that is that George Lucas did not name his characters: Leia Skywalker, Han Skywalker, Darth Skywalker, Yoda Skywalker and Jar Jar Skywalker. I'd strongly prefer to be able to choose my own surname for each character, though I am glad the option to hide the shared surname is implemented.

Ignoring trolls, yes it is unfair for people entering alone to have to fight organised groups, it can almost be griefing a lot of the time. I hope it changes.
