  1. Healbot is not botting software, it's just the name of a popular addon for setting up mouseover heals in WOW.
  2. When it comes to woeful ability animations, the discussion begins and ends with Boltstorm.
  3. I suggest the GTN. Plenty of bind on legacy gear available there, and some of it very cheap.
  4. Way to pour water on OP's flaming, righteous outrage.
  5. I found the new rotation bewildering with an extra dot to track and a lack of convenient line-ups between abilities. Memorization is great for dummy parses, but I question its viability in actual stop and go ops situations. I found a simple tweak of lining up overload saber with cauterize, and hitting force leap on CD regardless of focus really made everything line up nicely, even if it means delaying merciless slash one GCD to hit cauterize.
  6. Apparently, you get the Boltstorm animation. I can't be the only one who absolutely hates it, right? And I've tried to like it, I really have. But it just looks over-the-top goofy, and depending on the range your enemy's at, it can look absurdly comical. I'm sure I'm not the only one who, upon seeing the new Full Auto replacement was named "Boltsorm," thought, "Cool! I'm going to be mowing down my enemies with a veritable tornado of high-velocity slugs!" Instead, I've been relegated to tickling them to death with swirly, loopy magical hippie bullets. And on a related note, since we're stuck with said swirling, magical hippie bullets as Gunnery's defining attack for at least the time being, does anyone else feel that the some of our other abilities are feeling a little "puny" these days? If we're going to have the ridiculously garish LOLstorm foisted on us, can't we at least get some consistency across the board? Vortex Bolt, a secondary proc-enaber, is bigger and flashier than Demo Round, one of our defining and heaviest-hitting attacks. And High Impact Bolt, the perennial pipsqueak of abilities, has been comparitavely reduced in gravitas to the status of "popcorn fart." Is this really the best you can do, BW?
  7. Holy hyper-sensitivity Batman! -A trooper vet with more than a few real "forced marches" under his belt.
  8. I was in his first match back, and he flew very well. We won 999-1000, and after getting pwned by Kheenz for most of the match I managed to bag him for the final point.
  9. The problem isn't gunships. And the problem isn't bombers. The problem is the way both GSF modes are designed, and that the underlying mechanics are far too easily exploited by large numbers of those ships in a single match. Until BW puts a cap on these ships, GSF will remain devolved in a state of wall of gunships/bomber spam, a state which completely flies in the face of the spirit of the old X-wing/TIE Fighter games and the movies, which were all about exciting flying and shooting.
  10. You didn't miss much. Mostly me flying into asteroids and generally getting stomped.
