A crew skill app so we can run crew skills while away from our computers.

The only 2 MMO that I have played that you can mail to characters of opposing factions are STO and CoH.

Pretty much.

Not to flame really. There is a massive cold war going on between the Empire and Republic, bordering on open war. That's the reason.

and pre ordered.

In the Sith Temple on Kaas, I fought a TON of people with purple lightsabers.

Does anyone else find it strange that the operative uses a rifle to sneak around? My personal preference would have been pistol.

I posted this in the rotation thread: Charge - Smash - Sunder - Retaliation if it's up - Scream - Sunder - Ravage I use Retaliation every time it's up. After that initial attack rotation, I use sunder, scream and smash when they are off cool down. Now if it's multiple mobs, I will use Charge and smash, change targets - sunder, change targets - Retaliation, change targets - Scream, change targets - Sunder or ravage if sunder isn't up yet. If retaliation comes up after I attack one mob, I will switch targets, use retaliation, and switch again. I only use taunt to try and keep the mobs that are ranged on me.

AoE threat mechanics, while nice, aren't needed. Changing targets and using your high threat attacks will keep mobs really pissed at you. To quote a friend, I don't need an AoE, I am an AoE. And I have never used threat meters.

I used to be kinda scared about tanking for people. I've played CoH since it launched and I didn't make a tank for the longest time because I didn't want to let people down. Yes, I didn't want to let people that I will more than likely never meet down. Just take your time, read about the class, and make sure you read your powers. One thing to really consider though, is that 90% of the people that I have grouped with, follow the tank. And nobody likes a hesitant tank. Just watch peoples health, and more importantly, force and energy bars.

Charge - Smash - Sunder - Retaliation if it's up - Scream - Sunder - Ravage I use Retaliation every time it's up. After that initial attack rotation, I use sunder, scream and smash when they are off cool down.

If you would read your powers you would see that some of them have increased threat. I've had no issue holding aggro on my jugg. And I only use taunt to keep the mobs at range on me. Also, Soresu form. Use it.

and it's a minimum of 3 characters.

I was 4 in 77. Dad took me to see A New Hope at the drive in near our old house. I still remember that time, all these years later.

Happy Birthday!
