Ahhh right ok. Will look at the stats I need and choose accordingly from both set. Thanks for your help.

Awesome work as ever. You contribute so much to this community and I am sure I speak on behalf of everyone that it is very much appreciated. Long live DULFY!!!!

I was looking at the Basic gear sets for my IA Healer and there is no Combat Medic set. There are 2 sets though that both look very simiar with a mixture of Power. Surge, Crit and Alacrity. Does anyone know which set is meant for Healer?

I always follow the need if you need otherwise greed for my toon but nobody has mentioned off spec's. What if you needed something for an off spec, would people usually say thats a need or a greed?? I always ask even if I need tbh as it's polite. One thing to also watch out for is as a PUG is guild groups. I joined 3 guild member for my HMFP yesterday. We got to the last boss and downed it fine. I already had what dropped but didnt have for off spec and one of the guildies needed for main spec. I asked in chat if they needed for main spec as I was going to pass. What happened next is the same as ninja looting imo, all the guild members needed it. When I asked why they all needed I found out that because items are no longer BOP, they all need to increase the chance for their guildie and then trade it to them. Obviously I wasn't too upset as I had for main spec and was happy to give it to them anyways as they needed it for main spec but what got me so annoyed was the way they did it. It essentially it became 3 against 1 for the roll so if I needed it I still only had a 25% chance of getting it. Just thought I would make everyone aware and ask what people thought? Fair? Exploit? Should I have reported?

Thats great, thanks you for your help. Gives me something to work towards now.

I was hoping someone would be able to help me out. I am level 50 and in the process of getting my columi/rakata/black hole gear. As a PvE tank I was wondering if anyone knew anything about softcaps. Obviously with tanking endurance is important but I expect that damage to help hold agro is needed. Are there any caps on Endurance, Shield, Power, Absorb, Defence? I was also wondering whether it would be worth going for Damage dealing Ear, implants, Belt and Wrists rather than the tanking ones? I was also wondering what sort of sabre crystals people use? I have got my build and rotation down thanks to previous threads but was wondering about the above. Thanks in advance.

I am only lvl 24 BH Merc at the moment but I have a lvl 50 Jedi Sage. I guess you can only play what is put in front of you and if that involves using the same skill upto 5 times to get the best dps then so be it. I found that Sage doesn't have much of a rotation either. Maybe if Bioware devs can change Merc so we get max armour debuff off 2 shots rather than 5 then everyone will be happy. Those not familiar with sarcasm need not reply

I always do them. Nice exp, commendations and other rewards. Bonus exp = another level higher = Next planet slightly easier.

I remember getting my first lightsaber as a Jedi Consular. It was such an "OMG" moment followed by sheer excitement. It would have meant so much more if I actually got to use it as a Seer but hey ho. Least it still looks nice

You cancelled your subscription because you chose the wrong advanced class. A bit extreme but if that works for you. Why not roll another character and skip the cut scenes until you get to the same point again? It would only take you 2-3 hours maybe even less to get to the same point again, especially if you were enjoying the game.

Bit pointless but only thing I can think of that hasn't been posted already. Press z to run with weapon out. Also /fistbump for amusing animation and orange text. Great thread , sorry I can't contribute anything useful.

I think some people are forgetting that this game is still only a week and half old (since official launch.) Rage quitting because they nerfed something made me lol. Slicing was clearly getting explointed. Someone said they made 4m credits off it. Leaving it would have wrecked the economy. Ok so they may have over nerfed it in some peoples opinion. If choosing this skill was meant to be a money maker then yes they may have gone too far in the other direction but lets not forget you can level slicing and get coins while out on your travels doing missions too. I don't expect SWTOR to be perfect from launch. There will be bugs, there will be exploits and there will be mistakes made along the way. I think Bioware have made an awesome game and a superb start from launch and I am sure they are taking everything into account when trying to iron out teething problems. I don't see the need why anyone would want to rage quit after less than 2 weeks after launch. We all need to have our big boy pants on and ride it out until the patches and the fixes start coming.

As a pure heal build I think he is an awesome tank. The only issue I have found like you said about CC, mainly force lift. Easiest thing I find is set him to follow, shield up, force lift and move back before setting him to attack that way his AOE doesn't break lift. As for equipment, quest rewards and merchant weapons I have found more than sufficient never had to buy anything else.

I would have a look at the BH class discussion threads before you make your choice. I guess it is all down to your style of play. Be sure to make the right choice though as once you have made your decision there is no switching. Good luck whatever you decide though.

If you hover your mouse over the stat and it will give you a brief description of what it is and what it is for. It might be worth having a look at the class forums stickied threads to see which stats are important to you class though.
