...and then a few games later, I was put into a winning Voidstar with about 5 seconds left and got 110 comms. Yes. This makes sense.

...was put into a huttball match with 10 seconds left and the enemy was winning 5-0. GG Bioware.

This. The 9% aim is way more important.

There is hacking in SWTOR. I've seen it a few times. One particular player, in a particular guild on the Bastion server has done it 3x to me. Once we (my guild) were finally able to capture it on video. Yes. We've reported him several times (close to 20 in all). Yes, we've given customer service the video. No. He has not been banned and is still playing. FML.

Full tank spec PT here. I do fine. Top most wz's. I sporting full WH, if my guard healed me...I'd be next to impossible to kill. This is a L2P issue.

Im on The Bastion server and you sent us an *** load of people. I am originally from that server. Monday, we had 19 people on the fleet. Tonight there are 3 fleets. PVP que pops went from 1 hour to 2 min. I love it. A bit late, but still awesome.

50 PT shield tech; valor 90. Full WH. While I agree that mara/sent needs adjusting, I would love to face an 8 man team of mara/sent. My AOE taunt alone would break 100k protection. Pull or jump to them first. Spam oil slick ftw. CC break/stun their force choke. Cleanse any bleeds. Don't hit until bubble wears off. CC any ravage. Watch rage starved mara/sents die. Me + my merc healer would and do wreck any sent/healer combo. CC the healer, and attack the mara, wait till he pops his bubble then ignore him and melt the healer. Then whack away at the mara till he's at 10%, CC, and blow CD's on him. Enjoy. A good tank and a good healer can hold vs 4 others easy. A mara/sent + healer cannot.

Not even a good try IMO.

I use the GeForce GT 520, bought it at best buy for 99$. Works just fine. Video settings range from High to Low depending on which one it is. One thing that worked for me was turning off shadows. When I had shadows on, it really lagged me out.

I use oil slick quite a bit. Especially against maras. When I see groups of 2 or more: Jump > Carbonize > Oil Slick > AOE taunt > Flame Sweep > pick a target and enjoy. When a ball carrier is getting ********ed: grapple one back > guard the carrier > jump in > carbonize > oil slick > aoe taunt > flame sweep. Remember, a shield tech's job is to mitigate damage and protect other players. Oil slick is a very important part of this. Using all of your abilities correctly can make a huge difference in the game.

No way. You have to put talents into shield and absorb towards the top of the tree to get the 31 pt talent. Going 13 into the AP tree allows for so much more. Unlike others, I don't put 2 into quell. I use the damage mitigation and root for grapple. Both come in very handy. Retractable blade does more than just damage people. It also pops stealthies out when the DOT ticks. That is my main use for RB. The root on grapple and rocket boost is immeasurable. Coupled with electro dart and carbonize, it makes you a hutball nightmare. Fire pit and acid pit pulls/leaps ftw.

Errm... Powertech's did get hit by the nerf bat. Pre 1.2 I was face melting people while running Carolina Parakeet. This is before I completed my full War Hero set. Now running Iron Fist, I'm still a beast, but if I had my old spec back, with the gear i have now.......it wouldn't even be fun for me. Powertechs are fine. Pyro's hit hard, and that's what they should do. LOS and CC ftw. Learn what they do and counter it. Just like people are learning to do against marauders.

Huh? Not sure what he's asking, but I think I may have an idea. Tanks in DPS gear do better damage. Of course. Assasin tanks do much better damage in dps gear. But they are mainly a single target dps. Im a PT tank in 1/2 dps and 1/2 tank gear. I range from 250 - 400k per wz, and still get my prot medals. PT tanks have more mult-target dps though, with more utility imo. If you are asking about burst damage from a tank, then no. Tanks usually aren't specced to do alot of burst damage.

^ NOT that. I solo marauders regularly on my shield spec PT. You just need to know how/when to use your cc and interrupts. With cood downs, no problem. If my coold downs aren't up, I'm in trouble but can usually still manage.

1st. Well thought out. I love it. OP knows what he is talking about.
