If you are interested in joining us whipser Mebrithiel in-game (or any other online member). May the force be with you, always!

Thank you for recognizing what's already obvious to all; you nerfed this discipline way too much so far Changes look promising, have to try to be 100% but look good. You still need to address some things like 1)dot spreading 2)FiB range 3)as all said defensive cooldowns need a buff 4)Phase walk back, what were you thinking when you removed it Thank you for your communication. it finally looks like the dev team is trying to keep the game alive

Vulk was kind enough to "translate" the guide for the hatred assasins as well You can find it at his site, here

Hello all, I ve written a guide for the serenity/hatred discipline. You can find it at my personal blog, in Vulkk's swtor blog & soon in torcommunity.com May the force be with you!

BitRaider Utility was not active on my machine! The above tip helped! Thanks a lot!

" I just wanted to let you know that along with the changes we have already made in 5.0a and 5.0.1, your voices are being heard. We look forward to talking with all of you about the upcoming changes." Like you heard your player base regarding phase walk & shadows/sins?

Eric, I play this game as a sub from the launch. Ever since 2.0 you & the team of devs responsible for class changes are messing with the shadows/sins. I play balance, remember? Now its called Serenity. You took from us Shadow Strike, OK you moved it to infiltration but now you have a shadow without shadow strike... You removed project from us as well... You buried back then our dps leaving us out of ops (seriously all you guys play, if you play the game at all in ops, is all classes but shadows? It took you over a year to realize how ****** the discipline was and it was only in patch 2.8 that you kinda fixed things up with Mind crush for us. But until then we lost our position in ops groups. Ever since Shadows of revan serenity is getting nerfed, patch by patch... I ll ask again, do you even play as a shadow? Ever tried to to dps as a dotter in Styrak HM/NM or Underlurker HM/NM ? You remove utilities from us only to add them to sages like Phase Walk... You continue to nerf our dps. It will be simpler and more fair to us to just say "we ll cancel this class, because we just dont like it" With the loot changes you kill all ops guilds and with the nerfs coming we ll lose our position once again in the ops group... BTW why does a DPS need to guard anyone? Usually WE need to be guarded...I mean come one really? Class Devs, shadow in particular, get paid for what they do? Pick a random member of this post and let him/her rewrite the class for you, he will do a better, much better job.... Once again, we feel disappointed...

No, simple as that!

I play this game since beta! I am from the launch a subs! I have achieved legendary player status, got all datacrons and basically did all the required for this event stuff during all these years. Of course I wont stop playing the game that I love, but BW once again...jeeez, epic fail! I say NO, thank you! I understand that you want to attract new players to your, our, game but this way you show no respect to the people who already done all this and paid this game all these years! I feel that sometimes you are trying so hard to disappoint your loyal player base.... What a poor game planning...

and yet another nerf for serenity/hatred.... you must really hate this discipline, dont you devs? Ever since shadows of revan we are only receiving weaker abilities. I mean are you serious? Really?

shadow/assasin serenity'hatred with accuracy stim

First of all thank you for all the effort making this great post, but there is something wrong with your calculations because, e.g. for shadow/sin serenity/hatred you have in total 11 enhancements calculated (alacrity x6, accuracy x2, critical x3). This is wrong because there are 10 items with enhancements or enhancement equal quality!

true, still there are some "but" in my mind but this isnt the topic here

I think it would be awesome to have an application for our smartphones, where we can view our characters, sell stuff on the GTN, view our achievements, chat with our guildmates just like wow has with armory! Its really missing since game's launch!

I agree with you that there is something problematic here and if this is not serenity, then it is infiltration. Aelanis, I dont see why you give up mobility with infiltration shadow stride, Using it not only you are closing a gap between you and an opponent (boss/add, it doesnt matter), you also get to strike it hard with force breach. And its short cooldown allows you to use it pretty fast soon.
