I've seen stupider.

I'm going to have to call sockpuppetting on this guy. Seems to be the OP trying to make himself look more credible. On-topic, I love Entrench. It's what makes my Sniper playable against all the CC out there. Don't nerf it.

Resolve does not build on roots, meaning you can't move. On stuns/mezzes, meaning you can't move or use abilities, it does.

As a Sorc, my initial reaction was similar - I was irritated by the fact that my "Oh s--t, there are two shadows behind me" button was no longer there. I then realized that this changes a purely defensive tool into a purely offensive one. While I'd've preferred having a full circle, I think it's best to actually see how it performs.

After thinking about the SI story a little, and why most people hate it in the forums, I think I have found an answer, one that's related to the AC options for Consular and Inquisitor. The AC options have opposite approaches to how they operate: the Assassin/Shadow strikes where they are told with brute force, while the Sorcerer/Sage attempt to find the mysteries of the force. The Consular story was written for a Sage and the character's "personality" was that of a sage. The Inq has the story of a Sorc with the persoanlity of a Sin. That, I think, is why the story fell flat to many users.

First off, please read this ENITRE post through before criticizing; I've tried to think of solutions to any issues. Proposal: Give the option of level 50 players who PvP for fun rather than a gear grind the option to play in the 1-49 bracket. This would take away many of the complaints about 50's bracket PvP, which seems to be mainly by people who play purely for the fun of fighting against players rather than gear or a combination. Now, this gives one large problem: expertise. To counter that, the "bolster" buff for the 1-49 bracket should be modified to also lower Expertise to 0 to prevent high-geared PvPers from trolling the lower-leveled brackets. That's pretty much it; apologies if this has been posted before; I was unable to find it in the search bar.

You can't. It's locked not only be affection, but by where you are in the story.

Well... Sith Alchemy allowed for Human/Sith hybrids that could breed, so why couldn't the same be done for Human/Twilek couples?

The fact that it requires so much setup and having Recklessness off CD means that the probability of actually doing this reliably is almost zero. I don't PVP as much on my alts, but from what I hear other classes have a much more reliable burst DPS.

From what I've seen on the Empire side, nothing special happens if you run it at a higher level with a companion you're not supposed to have at the original level of the flashpoint.

There is one big difference between the Republic's darker side and the Empire's: The Republic hides it. In hiding it, they fail to have a proper check and balance, which tends to magnify it. The way the Empire's moral system is set up, the atrocities are out in the open, allowing individuals or groups to put a stop to them before they become anywhere near as bad as the Republic's. Of course, the Empire's system encourages evil, so people stopping it is less likely than if the Republic had a similar system. That's my view, at least.

Some dialogue is different, for example, my Zabrak SI doesn't get any lines about Lekku, but for all the basic thing that you're a slave and people look down upon you initially, and then you f--k over certain powerful members of the empire, and finally get some respect is the same.

I actually like this better than my idea. Thanks, mate.

Something I've been considering posting in the suggestion box for a while, but I was curious to see other people's reactions: Why can't sorcerers/sages dual-wield force foci? The sorc basic abilities the glowing stat stick is required for seems arbitrary at best - why do I need a lightsaber to use force abilities that use a lightsaber in no way in their animations? Unfortunately, a stat problem comes with this, since most existing force foci are inferior stat-wise to lightsabres. A simple solution would be to have orange-quality force foci available, so that players could mod them. Alternatively, either new, main-hand foci could be introduced with comparable stats or the stats on the current ones could simply be increased and can be equipped in the main hand. This would let players have their sorc look how they want, and provide a viable use for the unarmed PvP attack abilities. Thoughts?

The SI story is the most detached from the actual galactic conflict (haven't tried Consular past Coruscant, but from what I hear even that is more connected). If you enjoy chasing artifacts, rituals, and , then you're gonna love it. If you don't, you won't like it as much. It's just a shame that the main villain was one of my favorite characters from the comics.
