  1. To be fair, for leveling all you really need is Orbital Strike / Freigher, Sweeping Gunfire (or whatever the ridiculous AOE from cover is called), and then with Virulence/DF you can add dot-spread with dart/grenade for flavor. Stuff melts almost as fast as MM. Personally having tried (and still running diff toons) with Sharpshooter vs. DF / Virulence, I also find the Virulence rotation more fun, easier on the fingers, and frankly better at dealing with a few high-HP mobs you meet along the way. YMMV but Virulence is fun once you get it down.
  2. I was able to kill the Nova Blade guy using the fruit temporary power. However after killing the 3 mobs, the quest says I'm supposed to "sign a contract with the gang negotiator" but none of the gang reps in the Cantina will talk to me. Not even the one (Haro Wald) with whom I did the first convo before the mission to kill the Nova Blade and other bosses. How do you progress?
  3. yep, nailed it. 60% chance of success = 40% chance of failure (not succeeding) probability of not succeeding 2x in a row = 40% x 40% = 16% 3x in a row = 6.4% 4x in a row = 2.6% So yes, by the third try you should have a close to 94% (100% - 6.4%) chance to have succeeded *at least* 1 time, but there's still that pesky chance of failing 3-4x in a row (6.4% or 2.6% chance to not succeed consecutively 3x-4x). See here: This kind of thing is called a Bernoulli Process, which is complicated and hard to ELI5. But in this specific case, if you're asking “what's the probability that I win at least once in 100 attempts” the easiest way to answer it is to reverse the question: “what's the probability that you don't win at all in 100 attempts?” It's easier because now you're asking about an exact number: the probability that you'll see exactly 0 wins in 100 tries. That's just the base probability of losing (99%) multiplied by itself 100 times, or 0.99¹⁰⁰, which equals about 0.366. So you have a 36.6% chance of losing, therefore you have a 63.4% of winning at least once.
  4. Thanks for the great, detailed post. Is there a reason Corrosive Dart isn't sooner in the opener? I thought it debuffed the target as well, but perhaps that's only on Sniper. Thanks!
  5. Ah, that explains it. Always been playing Lethality. Just made a concealment toon recently. Thanks.
  6. Does Toxic Haze spread Corrosive Dart for Concealment? I know it used to be Noxic Knives, but I think it changed around October last year. However, recently when trying to DOT-spread with Dart/Haze, it doesn't seem to work. Thx.
  7. From Patch Notes: Assassin The Insulation Utility will now properly grant 30% armor rating for Hatred and Deception Assassins. Maul no longer has a positional requirement but now deals slightly more damage if used while behind a target and less damage if used while facing a target.
  8. OK thanks. Someone needs to tell Dulfy, because both the Deception Assassin guide and the Infiltration Shadow 5.0 guides are saying this utility (Insulation/ShadowyVeil) is 100% necessary. Comments like this in the guides: "This is mandatory on all fights for its strict increase to your durability." If it wasn't for this thread, I'd have no idea it was broken. http://dulfy.net/2017/01/17/swtor-5-0-deception-assassin-pve-guide-by-jaek/ http://dulfy.net/2017/02/04/swtor-5-0-infiltration-shadow-pve-guide-by-jaek/
  9. What do you mean? Insulation is still a skill you have to select from your skill choices. Is the point above that as a Deception assassin or Infiltration shadow, you should never pick it as a skill because it's broken?
  10. Wait, what? Insulation doesn't provide its 30% increase to Assassins or Shadows in dps spec? Wut? This is news. This isn't mentioned in the guides on Dulfy. Is it really broken?
  11. Unfortunately, in his main thread, Bant said that the dps rankings for 5.0 that he posted are outdated, and that his spreadsheet (linked there) has the right dps ranks per discipline -- which shows Vengeance ahead again of Rage. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=847112&page=83
  12. Thanks for replying, Bant. So it sounds like the rotations at the start of this thread may be out of date? I don't see rotations in the spreadsheet, am I missing them?
  13. Can someone please explain why the spreasheet linked in the 1st post of this thread, which supposedly has updated 5.0 values, shows different DPS rankings than the 1st post itself? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GtgkOZDgcA3dlBjdoLUzg02zNl9_5fvCU48iY-P0vv0/edit?usp=sharing For example: Bant's first post was updated on 12/2/2016 and shows Rage Jugg significantly ahead of Vengeance in the dps rankings. But then if you click the link to the spreadsheet, the spreadsheet seems to show the opposite (for DPS) -- that is, it shows Vengenace materially ahead of Rage dps. Any help on this?
  14. <<but tbh, i am using the 2 dots with a global in between - im having better results in parsing with this method, but, i guess it is to each their own. >> Could you explain this comment above, by writing out the rotation? Thanks!
