I've been looking at optimal stats, and see that Lightning wants around 2639 power in all 216, but, somehow, in full 216, I only have 1645 power. What am I missing? Looking at my gear, there's no reason why I should have 1000 more power at this item level. Any help would be appreciated.

Definitely a good idea.

Here's a suggestion, why not have an armor effect slot in the outfit designer? That way, if more armors with effects get added, we could pick one to work with our set at leisure.

*cries* HK customization where are you?!

I really would like a response, that HK customization is ******.

I would do damn near anything for that customization, hell, I like it better than the gold one!

Honestly, I wouldn't have even mentioned any of the movie/original characters simply because they are ******* compared to the likes of Sion, Traya, Nihilus, Malak, etc. But that's simply my opinion.

Since I started my Assassin I've been running Madness and have thoroughly enjoyed it, but recently I've been thinking about taking him into raids and have started to wonder exactly how viable Madness is in comparison to Deception. I understand Madness is supposed to have rather low DPS, but honestly I've out DPS'd almost everyone in similar gear to me that I've come across, so I'm wondering if the improvement over Madness (if there is one) would be great enough for me to completely switch over. Any and all feedback is welcome.

I've recently returned to SWTOR after about a year of absence. I'm very active, normally on for at least a few hours a day, and have a background in raiding in both SWTOR (before I left) and WoW. In WoW I've experienced several teirs and even pulled some server firsts along with being in the undisputed best guild for raiding on my server. For about the last year or so I've raided around 2 or 3 times every week, so I deem myself rather experienced in both tanking and DPSing. I currently have a Sith Jugg (tank) and a Sith Assassin (DPS) both level 52. The type of guild I'm looking for is an active one with some raiding that can fit my schedule (from 4pm-12am eastern, 1pm-9pm server, any day). I consider myself a rather exceptional tank and pretty good DPS as well. Currently I consider my assassin my main (so I'd prefer to bring him to raid, but I'll bring my Jugg if tank is needed) because I would like to get more of a head for DPSing and hopefully become as confident in it as I am in my tanking. Thank you for you time and consideration, my characters names are Aphosìs (Assassin) and Hircine (Jugg).

If it's true that there will be no more individual class stories, then this game is done. I play this game solely for the story, I have WoW for endgame raiding and guild politics. SWTOR simply doesn't have the developers to deliver a truly good endgame in a timely fashion, so I guess it's done for.

I agree

Damn.

True, but then I don't get to have the fun of fighting with them. Also, I've met some of my best friends through bullying and fighting.

I am what you would consider young, I'm in high school, but how I deal with anyone who ****s with me is deal the **** right back at them. At that point they normally walk away with their tail between their legs looking for someone else to bother.

I completely agree with the OP. I spent an assload of time to get my set of champion gear and to make it that easily acquired pisses me off!
