This repair tax is INSANE for progression guilds. It really takes the fun out of it. It over penalizes learning mechanics or trying new ones. Its absolutely ABSURD. I shouldn't have to grind for 3 hours to raid for 3 hours , that's just bad math . My guild which only has Kephess 16 Nim left in the game is refusing to raid because of it. We can wipe 20 times on an encounter like that and walk out with repair bills over 500k . No thanks !

Op's complaint is frivalous. I was missing my agent buff until recently. I took the time , lvled an Op and bam gtg. My issue with your comment is several fold. 1. You don't have to have all buffs to compete in PVP, The Crit buff is nice but it is a luxury. I PVP'd 3 Toons to 80-100 Valor without it. No complaints about my damage or heals , and whenever I got beat I knew it was because the other player was better than me or I made a mistake, I can admit to myself that there are others with more skill or that they just out played me. 2. There are other advantages out there that I and some other PvP'ers are using that cause the same or more difference. Stims, Grenades 3. LvL up your companions. Add 1% Crit , Surge, Accuracy , 2% heals received, 1 % heals done. 4. Itemize your toon, BIS gear , swap out all your mods/enhancements 5. Get all your datacrons. Add several Stats to your toon All these things combined against someone who has none of them would give you a serious advantage. If you want to play with the big boys get your set up right. Otherwise don't complain because you want to be lazy and not work for advantages.

I'm both I have 4 50's 3 of them are BIS PVP and PVE I keybind 12 abilities on my Razor Naga I keybind targeting + Consumables + Interrupts on my Razor Nostromo I click CD's , Shields , Self Heals , Some CC's , some Aoe 's Mainly I'm Keybound but there are a couple things I still like clicking.

They are bads Its that simple move on , get over it , people are jerks

You're ** OR** You are

It was more of a joke , but if you really feel that way then u are very bad @ math Taking 15 people + you into a TFB HM which is what the quote is for passing every piece of loot to you would get you 8 Pieces of Dread Guard gear . X 3 Mods /armorings and enhancements each Plus whatever Offset pieces and Ears you could use. So , if were doing MATH thats 24 Mods/Armorings/Enhancements , Essentially 1 mil per, not counting freebies. Crystals, Materials , Off set pieces and Ears . PLUS your sgear would have Set Bonus's and be close to if not BIS . So to clarify 1 night and 2 hours or less you would be very close to BIS and never have to farm gear until the Expansion. The 15 people generous enough to pass everything and waste their time and weekly lockout for you would make about 1.5 mil each . Additionally you would learn all the fights. Fair trade if you ask me. But as you see it as LOL funny it will never be offered again.

Hey OP, sorry to hear your guild ceases to exist that has to suck. On to the meat of the subject. You should not be looking to get gear to learn to tank. Or looking to be carried. Learn to tank based on what your gear can do now. Running TFB story is a great idea. I would go a step further. Augment everything. Grind your dailys and weeklys. Use the comms you get buy Black Hole gear. Use the money you made to get your ear and implant pieces. Do pvp dailys to buy the relics you need.. Adversely .. if you want carried ill take you through for 5 mil per boss. Pm me Look for pug groups to get ur skill and gear together. Adverslym

I have 16B ddr3 in one machine and in about 16 hours of straight play my game will crash from running out of available memory. I have another machine my wife plays which has 24gb ram and after 24hrs theame thing happense. Its almost like the game eats 1gb per hour. I have tested this many times. Also I starpt getting fps issues after 6-8 hours start minor and then get worse.

Things that need added for guilds. Tax system from individual questing that deposits to guild bank. The devs admitted they forgot about that when guild banks came out. A guild challenge banner. Similar to the faction banners. A attendance tracker that shows when person "X" was last online. 3 ranking systems... 1. Pve progression 2. Pvp reputation 3. Combo of the scores and overall rank. Calendar system Guild war ship

I'm kinda just looking for the answer too. On my Merc I'm running with the Dread Guard Relic of Boundless Ages and The Dread Guard Relic of the Kinetic Tempest. I did lots of reading about them before I made my choice. Today however another Merc who's opionion I respect says that he was putting up 100k less dmg vs identically geared Mercs on the Tanks in Nim EC 16 man using the Tempest. Said I was a fail train I'd like to know so I can put this one to bed. My toon is BIS other than that in every slot. Thanks for the discussion and the information.

Props !

(Never seen a chest this packed) Terror- Phase 1- Single add always headed to left side No vortex Phase 2- Annomlies spawned at same time , got 2 each rotation immediatly No irregularities at all

If you are playing a smash jugg and are worried about survivability you're doin it wrong. If you're a dps jugg in pvp and you aren't 31 in rage you are doin it wrong. If you are a rage jugg without crush you are doin it wrong.. Nuff. Said.

Bioware just game me a Christmas idea. I have already picked and wrapped my children's presents. I was going to give them for free. Just for being family and always supporting me. Now ill just put price tags on everything .. They can work up the money to pay for the things they actually want. Thanks for the idea! Signed.. The Grinch

Blizz is the **** if you control him the way you should . He is by far my favorite companion across all my toons. I dont always use him but when i do its a blast. I always set him a target or 2 while the group handles the rest. The issue is since he's AI people forget that he wont react the way a good player would so make it easy on him. Gear him out , Sick him on 1-2 foes that are troublesome. Do NO DPS to those targets till everything else is dead. Then go to town on one of them. Focus dps order and you are fine. Key bind his charge and flame burst. If you are in a group bind those as well and target mark the kill order. <3 Blizz Forever
