  1. Very good question. Their forum moderation has been terrible since the game came out. I still have the guide, but I removed it in protest due to how BioWare elected to treat this thread. If ya want the story (to my knowledge since no one at BioWare reached out) or the guide (though I'm sure it's really outdated these days), DM me.
  2. Hey all, My handle is Ves and my buddy is Hexane. We are currently looking for a solid raid group that organizes on Sunday/Monday (either one or both). Both of us have cleared the majority of HM/NiM content on tier since launch in various Guilds (Contraband Inc, Proper Villains, Select Few, Push, etc.). Our toons are as followed: Ves: Mercenary (6/6 220+ DPS Gear Set), Sniper (6/6 220 Gear Set), PT (6/6 220+ Tank Gear Set) Hexane: Sniper (6/6 224 Gear Set), Marauder (6/6 220 Gear Set) If interested in trialing us you can reach me on Zëv or Vèza most likely or leave a reply here and I will get with you in-game.
  3. If these forums were read or discussed by Devs, you'd probably see more community interaction. That and with how little class balance means with the style of content in 4.0 there is really nothing to discuss.
  4. Thanks man. Sounds about right. This game has always struggled with balance. Its simply make all 8 classes and use the FoTM class if you want to PvP/PvE effectively. Then again this is KOTOR 3 w/ a monthly sub now, so class balance doesnt really matter.....
  5. So I see nothing has changed in my absence.....lol
  6. Well I'm about to start my work week, so I wont be around til Tuesday next week.
  7. Yup, my group is Imp. Myself and two of my buddies made a group in Classic Op Heroes. Yes, I hate the name, but cant turn down zero leadership responsibilities and fairly decent talent pool. Went 7/10 first night with 4 players getting their first kills on UL, Commanders and Torque. We'll see how things go in 4.0 for us.
  8. Figured I'd post this since I've had a few questions lately regarding my future involvement in guides. For 4.0 and beyond, I have no plans to create my own guide. Between my personal schedule and in-game schedule, I simply don't have the time or energy to direct toward its creation. Sorry for those that were looking forward to the next installment, but there are various other quality guide creators out there to seek. However, I still more than happy to work with anyone seeking advice given I have the time to do so. That said, I am also no longer manning a Jugg as my "main" in progression. Having recently moved back to JC, I am currently tanking for a group we created not two weeks ago, so as far as working into detail about the rotation, figuring our stats, etc I probably won't retain as much knowledge as I did previously. Anyways, I appreciate everyone that helped in the creation of this guide, both pre and post release. Also, thank you to everyone who voted and helped get this guide placed at the top of the Guardian / Juggernaut forums. Good luck to everyone in 4.0 with your raid teams and working through the "new" 46 bosses.
  9. Honestly, the overall DPS doesn't matter that much compared to the core damage total. If you're at 3.2k the whole fight, that is pretty solid though. But if your core damage was less than 400-450k, you need to pick it up for that phase.
  10. Think he hit is spot on. It is just as I mentioned in an above post regarding DoT up-time. The longer you delay your DoTs, the less DPS you're putting out. Fix this small issue, and you should see a significant increase in your DPS.
  11. SShhhhhhh, I was only hinting at a direction for people to look lol. Can't talk here. The top of the Alacrity build APM wise is about 38-38.5. As for numbers, I would think 4500-4600 is probably the top of the arc in 192s. So 4200 is a little low, but I think you solve some the APM issues and you probably see a noticeable jump. A significant amount of DPS for us is purely from proper Ravager/Master Strike clipping, and tbh Alacrity makes it significantly tougher to do.
  12. It was merely an agreement between the various authors mentioned in the guide. With 4.0/KotFE less than 3 months out, I could probably post it and it would do little to no harm, but I am a man of my word and when I agreed to not post my rotation I have stuck to my guns thus far. If they agree that they don't mind or want me to release it, I most certainly will. I've had it written out since I made this guide lol. And honestly, our rotation is highly RNG based. 100-200 DPS difference is the low end of the spectrum. Because we rely on crits from our heavy hitters to maintain our DPS, opposed to "true" DoT specs, we have more variety in output when it comes to parsing. I average 5k-5100 easily in IO with my rare top parses of 5300+. Whereas with my Jugg, I sit between 4600-4900 in most 198s at this point (still need a MH and mod). Part of this is because of the Mercs ability to run high crit and still put out heavy burst between Thermal Detonator and Mag Shot. This is something we simply don't have, but hey there is hope if you read the recent post on TorCommunity.
  13. What the guy above me said, but I'll lay out alot of the "typical" issues I see in parses. 1) APM (actions per minute). If you APM is low, you're DPS will be low. This effective means you are slow between abilities or are delaying abilities. Dont do that. 2) The rotation flows. In raids, you will be setting up a burst rotation for specific instances in the fight; however, parsing and "tank & spank" fights you wont be setting it up. "Everything is on cooldown" is not a thing unless you are failing in another part of the rotation. 3) DoT uptime. Our DoTs dont hit hard, but if they arent up than you're loosing DPS. Those are the typical issues I've seen, but of course if could be something entirely different. Sadly, I agreed to not provide the rotation I personally use, so I once again recommend posting a Parsley link of a parse for us to look at and give more informative advice.
  14. Robust/Brawn doesn't stop knockbacks (knockdowns are NOT knockbacks...). The utility Unremitting/Unstoppable does, so if you want to avoiding be tossed around I suggest redoing your utilities.
