I don't see the need for this we already have the possibility of increasing XP gained via unlocks in legacy (flashpoint, class mission, space mission, exploration, and pvp) With those unlocks side quests can be easily skipped even planet quests.
it is more of a flavor of the month thing having been playing focus spec for a while now the spec isn't that much different in 1.4 then it was in 1.3. Never had resource management problems before 1.4 so the changes weren't that big of a deal. The biggest change that happened to focus was when they changed the stances so now that it gives a bonus to force damage.
Ah GW2 the game that will be delivered to all by unicorns
In fact here comes a unicorn now i bet it has GW2
OH GOD NOT THERE YOU STUPID UNICORN THAT'S MY NEW RUG
OH GOD it smells horrible what in the world do unicorns eat? wait a minute ITS GUILD WARS 2! The unicorn delivered!
The only thing I have seen as far as hacks (not even sure it was a hack) was the other night a player was literally in the place where the huttball spawns, took some screenshots of it just in case its a hack. If it was they were pretty bad at it since they lost 5-1.
In mostly battlemaster with a few war hero was playing focus before and after the patch and all i can say is wow before the patch if i popped my relics i hit for around 5K with sweep now its doing 6K.
I also noticed force push now doing around 2.5K damage, i think people really underestimated the change to single saber mastery when combined with the other force talents in the focus tree. Focus is an absolute monster now.
