I've been running sage dps since HM TFB launched last year. Here is my 2 cents on the strongest rotation to maximize dps for the basic rotation. I always start with tk throw. Once I get my presence of mind proc, FIB>MC>WM>SF>Tk throw. Rinse repeat. Reason behind this, force in balance and mind crush have the same cooldown. So when you blow your fib and ur mind crush instantly after, they are 1 global apart. or 1 second to be precise. Both dots have 18 second durations. So when you hit your force in balance, your weaken mind has gotten in about 12-13 seconds of dot damage. by the time you re-apply it, its gotten about 15-16 seconds. and sf is about the same since it has the global of weaken mind to go through. This basically streamlines the time between dot management to maximize the amount of time you have to tk throw/disturbance. Not waste globals in between applying dots etc. Its what i've been doing and it works perfectly in terms of overall dps output. I understand you lose some damage by not letting the 2 18 second dots get full rotations in. However, if you have to interrupt tk throw to apply dots you lose a lot more dps then the 1 second of reapplying the dot. and if you wait for the tk throws to finish, then you go a window of time with the dots not being applied. the other thing is that most rotations have you guys applying force in balance after dots. Which means you are losing the extra percent of dot damage that force suppression supplies for the ticks that happen before your force in balance. FiB should always be the priority due to the increase in damage to your dots.

+1 make it a legacy unlock that links to a character who has the datacrons. level 50 required.

this is true. but its an aoe in the sense it can hurt infinite number of targets within the cone. by definition aoe means area of effect. a cone is still an area of effect and not a single target attack. force sweep also has a limit of affected targets. flamethrower is infinite within the cone.

I feel there should be some balance to the legacy abilities given the different factions. final legacy abilities are as follows Republic project sticky grenade dirty kick force sweep Imperial orbital strike lightning storm force choke flamethrower basically, 3 of the 4 imperial abilities are aoe. 2 ranged and 1 melee. the republic sticky grenade is nothing in comparison of the other 2 ranged, and force sweep is lower in damage than flamethrower. Id like to see this become more balanced across the board. instead of essentially gimping republic players on their legacy moves. it should be close to even between the 2 factions in this regard. otherwise its showing blatant favoritism.

well i guess i wont be wasting my time running to the cantina if ill get the same xp boost for sitting in a random corner.

yup got him down at 3 minutes 59 seconds from the first drop.

Its nice to see I'm not the only one that would enjoy this. Itd be awesome to be able to unlock special styles depending on certain things you do in game. Like specific styles for beating bosses in x amount of time or doing x event. I know In a lot of game people love to be able to make their character look as unique and cool as possible. I really hope they consider this in the future at some point.

I think this game should create something similar to a barber shop. Allow players to redo their facial customization at later points in the game at their own discretion. Also means that we can perhaps gain certain hairstyles or faces from doing certain quests or as a reward for some kind of activity. thoughts?

Using an additional pane for your alts would be cool. but there has to be limits on how much it can be used or it will be abused. people will have 7 alts gathering things all day while they raid. Its not impossible to do it, but it needs to be balanced to keep it fair. I could definitely see that becoming a possibility at a certain legacy level or something.

It would be cool if Bioware could create a crew skills Application for Smart Phones. From this application, you can send your companions to collect materials and such, but limit the number of items that can be crafted through the application to a fair amount. Not everyone can be on long enough to gather the materials needed, especially with reverse engineering to get better recipes. Keep it simple, but get the job done.
