your friend could make himself another scoundrel (and heal on that) or a Jedi Shadow (this one tanks) and you could cheese and breeze zooming around in stealth. this site has class guides, teensy bit outdated atm, but should serve you well enough https://vulkk.com/2016/10/08/everything-swtor-knights-eternal-throne-one-place/#CLASS_GUIDES_50

Are there any plans to update the rewards on the old (non-Onslaught) Heroic 2+ missions? Possibly adding the new gear crates to the missions themselves or the planetary complete multiple heroics missions, or perhaps adding a weekly?

exactly this Make Powertech Awesome Again pls

To some (like me) an "avatar" is just a glorified dress-up doll, rather than an actual character or an avatar for our actual selves. An irreverent name like "toon" is perfect.

Sniper does fell rather weak in the start, especially where resource management is concerned, but it will become very powerful a little later on.

The 4pc Set Bonus might be fine as is, if Target Acquired / Illegal Mods had a cooldown of maybe 1 minute, rather than 2 minutes. The ability does seem to have an excessively long cooldown for it's effect.

Alacrity rating reduces the cooldown of all abilities (apart from a select few, and it does nothing for internal cooldowns) regardless of their activation time, it also affects instant abilities by reducing the global cooldown time. Also it increases the amount of resources you regain per tick (this obviously is not the case for warrior/knight, who does not regenerate resources like the other classes). For other tertiary stats (alacrity, surge, accuracy etc) you need 760 accuracy rating (this is necessary, non negotiable) the rest can then be filled with surge and alacrity according to your preferences. Someone probably wrote something clever about this on Dulfy.net

Engineering use Series of Shots every 9 sec (on cd) Virulence uses it as filler between 2 culls, when you don't have to apply dots and Weakening Blast isn't on.

Is the green help you are talking about thegreen man that appears in locations where taking cover is possible?

There are also several super exciting daily areas, you can run them all every day for enjoyment and cash.

In engineering your rotation basically revolves around Series of Shots, so you get to spam that thing every 9 seconds.

something not entirely unrelated: Was just qeued as dps for lvl 60 hm fp, took about 45 mins of waiting (the joys of being sniper), then the pop-up graces my screen and i'm happy, yay the wait is over. The joy is quickly replaced by sadness when the mission for Blood Hunt shows up in my log, the tank imideately drops the group, healer follows suit 3 secs later.

If it's like the last time, it's down in some cave. You shoyld also be able to do some of the missions there as a low-lvl.

Screenshot or it didn't happen

Funny how this reminds of another politician who did something similar after another war, in another universe, he ended up being one of the most unpopular people in history.
